It depends on personal view.
you can have piercings and/or tattoos in most any job, but to be respected as a professional it is a good idea to remove your piercings and cover your tattoos while at work
Yes
not sure about tattoos, but he does have snakebites.
No impact if the employer is cool. Potentially a large impact if they're not. It's all a matter of opinion and totally arbitrary rules. Or, often, they don't even HAVE rules against it but fire people for having piercings or tattoos anyway (or tell them to remove piercings).
Generally speaking, it's not a bad thing to have tattoos or piercings. A lot of people have amazing work done on them for very good reasons. However, certain jobs will discriminate against people with visible tattoos and more extreme piercings. That's not to say these things are bad, but it does mean you should give any tattoo or piercing some serious thought.
Piercings and Tattoos
Went to PF Changs in Indy today and had a waitress with both piercings and tattoos. I thought it was pretty cool they would hire somebody with visible tattoos. =]
They shouldn't but at many places they will. Not all piercing and tattoos will effect though, such as women with ear piercings or tattoos that are normally not visable
Yes, tattoos and piercings are generally protected under the law as forms of self-expression and are considered a part of an individual's freedom of speech and personal autonomy. However, there may be some limitations or restrictions in certain contexts, such as in the workplace or in certain public settings.

No. It's just as bad as evicting you because of your skin color. It's against the law.
