Tattoo's viewed in society
The question I will be answering is How are people with tattoos and piercings viewed by the public? I find the best issues to address will be how do employers view applicants with visible tattoos and piercings? Is body modification socially acceptable overall? And is it a distraction to others? I think this is a significant topic because a wide percentage of people have tattoos or piercings and I find it to be a big part of this generation. Some other subtopics I’d like to address are do people without body modifications think it’s a waste of money? Is this a rewarding career choice- can you make a living off of this? And maybe for people who want a tattoo or piercing but aren’t sure where to get it because they don’t want it visible, I might add some information on types of piercings and places to get tattoos so that they are completely hidden.
“Piercing in the Workplace Stereotype” by Sara Dobosh on the Fox News website in the business section is the article I chose to read. I chose it because it was very surprising and had some great statistics I could use for my essay.
“Piercing in the Workplace Stereotype” by Sara Dobosh focuses on having tattoos and piercings in the workplace and how it effects the chances of getting a job. Dobosh says in her opening paragraph that employers do not greatly discriminate against those with tattoos and peircings because they would be decreasing their group of future employees.

The FDA estimates that over 45 million people have a tattoo and that between the ages of 18 to 29 have a tattoo and those ages above 29 have some sort of body art or modification. Later in the article, Dobosh sheds light on the fact that preconceptions about individuals with tattoos are no longer valid. The main idea is that even though
