| For the moment, many schools would not be really happy with a teacher with multiple piercings and tattoos. Not saying this is right, just saying that's how it is. |
Precisely. Not only that, for the moment many schools will have hesitations about hiring a teacher with tats and piercings. It is a fact of life for now. |

To be more specific...
I have no problems, save for the fact that my heavier nipple piercings show through lighter shirts. This is a distraction to the students I don't need. Solution: I found some 'nipple covers' in Japan that work like a charm.
Now, as for the eyebrow and tounge piercings. All I can say is that I seldom wear them in country as the polution and general weather conditions usually make them uncomfortable. I can put them on at home, or for a night out.
I strongly suggest that you bring western underwear with you, too. Korean briefs run small, and they cramp up that 'nether region' piercing.
Do what you will when you will. Usually, if you have to bother asking about societal norms, you shouldn't have the piercings to begin with, or you should just lose them anyway if you come. |

Really  Poor breeding  Do you have any clue what you are saying when you speak?
Tattoos and peircings are widely accepted throughout North America and the sheer amount of people getting tattoos has become somewhat of a status symbol.
In Korea they are associated with gangsters....among Koreans! Foreigners have no such stipulation! As well I havent seen or heard of 'bikers' in Korea!
What a dumbass! |
That tattoos are widely accepted in North America proves that a wide swath of the North American population have poor taste and are not even Brass Class. Your mind seems closed to the fact that tacky, decadent pop culture and its symbols are on the verge of replacing whatever vestiges of high brow culture remaining in North America.
Your kneejerk response to my post does not show my allegedly low Intelligence Quotient; it only portrays you as being one of Plato's Cave Dwellers who finds shadows to be sufficient intellectual nourishment for a hollow mind and soul.
By the way, I challenge you to an I.Q. test. The Stanford-Binet one should prove to us that I'm not a "dumbass" - the term you appear to be so fond of using on a constant basis.
Let me know if you are up to the challenge. |
You are aware that IQ tests are garbage right? lol. Hey mom...last night I challenged a guy to an internet fight and I kicked his ass. Me so great. |

You really know how to make a humourous point.
Thanks for your contribution.
Cordially,
