Unless the pads are directly covering a piercing, they do not need to be removed. They may cause arcing and burning if they are located directly adjacent to or underneath an AED pad.

On one hand, you shouldn't be a fake person. However, fake piercings let you see how it works and how others will react to you before you commit to real piercings. If you are underage, cannot find a piercer, unable to get permission, or if you have a job that doesn't allow piercings fake piercings are a good alternative.


How is a zoll defibrillator used?

Zoll is a brand of defibrillator and is used in the same way you would use any other defibrillator machine. It is not recommended that you use one unless you have been trained in the proper use of these machines. Before you use a defibrillator you need to make sure the person is actually in cardiac arrest. Tilt the head back and check the airway to see if they are breathing. Once you have confirmed that the patient is not breathing turn on the defibrillator. Apply the patches to the chest with one on the left side of the chest on the breast area and the second one on the right side below the breast and under the heart. Stand clear of the patient and press the button to shock the patient.

How can society get businesses to not see tattoos and piercings as unprofessional?

This is going to be tough, as most countries still view such things as unprofessional. It's going to be a long time before this changes, I'm afraid. The vast majority of people still associate tattoos and piercings with "low class" people, even though many professionals nowadays do have tatts and piercings. The best way for employees to handle it is just to cover up the tattoos and remove the hardware before work or cover the piercings if possible.
