A large number of youths in the country have some kind of body modification before they are 20 years old. It is estimated that about a half of the youths in the country have either a tattoo or a piercing in their body. This indicates that there is a need for employers to review their dress codes if they are to attract great talents in their company. For some, this has been considered and they are accepting some forms of body modification in the office.
However, there are a great majority that has not yet appreciated the growing number of body modification in the popular culture. This has caused a great number of well talented youths to lose the opportunity to work in places where they would be of great help. For instance, very few employers –if any- would employ a person with 00g wooden ear plugs on the ears. Even worse they would be hesitant if they see such piercings on the ears. This reality of body modification should be understood by anyone who is willing to make such body modification.
Some of the jewelry ear plugs that may be acceptable in the workplace include 14g, 16g, and 18g. Companies are hesitant to employ people with large ear piercings as customers would not be willing to accept them the way they are. As such, many people with body modification have been forced to hide them when in the workplace. However, the fight for people’s acceptance of body modification in the workplace continues and in the future, hopefully, people will be allowed to wear 00g jewelry ear plugs without feeling discriminated against. This will be a big stride towards body modification acceptance in the society.
