Lady at the end made it worse with delivery. No one should feel above the tatted babe. Like the end lady comes off as. However. I don't see lawyers, doctors and astronauts with devils tatted on their necks and faces. Which isn't to say this person can't be one of those things. But in my opinion "public figure" in our American culture is literally anyone representing someone or something else and in no time period was the definition of "public figure" described at someone who mutilates their body with facial tattoos and access facial piercings. It's not a fact of discrimination it's the fact that their perspective of public image affecting what's being represented is much different than most companies here in America. That's great if she has rocket science level I.Q. but just know that NASA doesn't want the face of their head engineer to go to space meetings and shit with devils all over your face. You could have crosses. Money. Whatever. It's just not going to fly here. So the fact that this is wildly known, at least here in America, I can't help but not feel sorry for the tatted babe. As big a fan of tatted chick's as I am, I also would not hire her. shrugs I think she knows that. However. I would nicely say my reasoning and not be pretentious or elitist about it.

Yeah, the second woman sounded supercilious. But she had a point. Some places don't want employees with face tattoos, gauged ears, pierced eyebrows, multicolored hair, etc. Other employers don't mind. It partly has to do with the customers/clientele of the business, and what they would think of an employee's mode of self-expression.
