How acceptable is it for photographers to have facial piercings?

Alright. Well I realize that photography is a more artistic field and therefore body mods are slightly more accepted, but I would like honest answers. If any of you are photographers or know of photographers with tattoos and piercings, please let me know. |||I attend a photography school and it seems like everyone there has some form of piercing or tattoo.





When looking for a job, some people may look down on it though.|||that depends upon what industry you are planning to work in. There is artistic photography, they type where you are simply taking photos which interest you in your and hopefully selling them. Then there is commercial photography, the type where people hire you to document events or items.





in the latter a facial piecing may be a hindrance as although many people are comfortable with piercings it does not convey an image of professionalism.|||I would hire a photographer based on their abilities and portfolio. They could be purple with red polka dots for all I care! (The weirdest looking people seem to have the most creativity though). My best friend though sees the photographer as another status symbol for her wedding and will hire only the prettiest and professional looking photographer. I guess it depends on your clients.|||Since most photographers own their own business, if they have a facial piercing, that%26#039;s their choice.





As far as hiring a photographer with a facial piercing, being OBJECTIVE, the piercing has nothing to do with his/her ability to photograph. So it doesn%26#039;t matter.|||I would say whether or not it is acceptable is up to you. Tattoos and piercings are usually a way for extremely creative types to express themselves, so it may be a great thing.|||my friend%26#039;s a photographer and he%26#039;s covered in tats and has like 3 piercings in his face alone lol and he%26#039;s always got a wedding or some event he%26#039;s going to, so i say your good (=
