I think, to get a job, she needs to at least remove and let heal, the face studs, as they make her look worse anyway.

Why anyone would want to deface themselves like that is beyond me. I'm not against tattoos but having a stud in lips/cheeks is a bit much for me.

However, as she says, its her lifestyle choice, but she needs to deal with the consequences of that particular choice.
Indeed, sometimes the truth hurts. She can keep her piercings, that's her choice, but it may well put off a good few employers.

The Job Centre was giving her honest feedback, although a little bit insensitive in the way it was delivered!
