If you are considering getting a piercing or tattoo, one of the most important things to keep in mind is whether or not your new modification will be accepted in your place of employment. The policies and rules regarding this subject will vary widely from place to place. You also have to keep in mind that while your current employer accepts tongue rings, a future workplace may not have the same acceptance. While many people consider tattoos and piercings to be an important right of self-expression, you do not want to derail your career goals. This could have a lasting financial impact on your life and your future.
So how do you if getting a piercing or tattoo is the right move? Think about your dream job and whether or not your modification would be accepted there. If not, then why sacrifice your dreams? Chances are there are areas of compromise, such as getting a tattoo in a less noticeable place. If you can cover it up during the day, your employer won't even have to know about it.
Unfortunately the same doesn't always go for things like tongue rings. If for example you are in a customer service field, it could slur your speech and therefore have a negative impact on your professionalism and job performance.
If you aren't into thinking so far ahead in the future and know that what you do now will not affect your current position, then you can still go for it. Things like tongue rings can be taken out after a few years without any problem. Just know that might be the case and be prepared to go through the pain for only a few years of pleasure. Be certain to think through your decision and you will be less likely to regret it in the future.
