I agree to a certain extent; there are individuals that will judge you for body piercings/tattoos. You would be naive to believe that it can't impact your job opportunities. However, we've already had an
extensive conversation on this.
The truth is that it depends on many factors such as your industry and work environment/culture. At my workplace, we have a lot of programmers from India that have a nose piercing for cultural reasons. I don't have that excuse, but it hasn't hurt my career. And yes, I mean career; I don't deliver pizza.
