I temped with a really nice girl who wore a nose stud - it was very pretty but she informed me she did not wear it to her interview, which I think is the correct way in which to deal with this.

I would not wear jeans or dye my hair pink for an interview so based on the facts I would not hire this person as she did not appear appropriately at her interview.

On another note the finance manager in my company has a belly piercing which I think is tacky to be seen with this at work.  The only reason I did, was because she was wearing a top so short that her belly was on show!  Our company is relaxed dress wise altho 50% wear suits (shirts and ties for the men).  I cannot believe a finance manager would dress like this in work for all her bits to be on show.  I have no problem with body piercings but there is a time and a place for them to be seen - the workplace is not it!
