facial piercings for county employees?
I just got hired for a position with the county but haven’t started yet and I wanted to know if anyone here has experience working for the county and policies with tattoos and facial piercings. for context I have a few nose piercings and a lip piercing but have been told mine are on the more subtle side and people generally think they look pretty and not too harsh or off putting.
during my interview I took out my piercings and covered the tattoos because i didn’t want to jeopardize my chances of getting the job, but now I’m wondering if I’m going to have to take them out/cover them permanently. I know technically I could ask them but I don’t want any judgement while being new since I’ve been trying to get a stable, good job for a while now.
at the end of the day the job is more important to me right now than my piercings so I’ll take them out and cover my tattoos (upper arm only) but was just curious if anyone has any experience with the health and human services department here.
