lime ihave 11 piercings in each ear. i never take them out. 2 in my nose. 1 in my eyebrow. they are moderate in size. 5 tattoos. i have not had a problem with them yet. i am an icu nurse . no person has ever gone for them. no made remarks. when people are sick , they are more concerned with your skills. and how you act towards them. i consider myself extremely professional. i am certified in many things. people need to look past looks. unless they are vulgar.
