I find that attitude quite pathetic... Have the piercings reduced her IQ?? Have they disabled her movements in any way?? Have they restricted her communting ability?? Do they stop her communicating with others??

In other words should the tattoos or piercings matter.. Just the same as color of your skin/hair, racial background, sexual preference and religion shouldn't matter...
What her attitude shows though Kimmy is that her body art is far more important to her than anything else ,she is showing no consideration ,or she just doesn't realise that employers will demand a certain dress code,not to mention the health and safety aspect ,which would suggest that common sense isn't her strongest suit .She says she is looking for any job ,well unfortunately for her most jobs requiring customer interaction (except a tattoo parlour)would be ruled out ,any job in the catering industry/food preperation i.e mcdonalds,burgerking ect will be ruled out ,jobs in factories will be ruled out ,the list goes on .Maybe she should have thought of this before deforming herself to this extent

I'd love a perfect world where looks weren't the basis of aquiring a job, but yes I agree that she hasn't made it easy for herself..
He could have ignored her looks and gone through the procedure of sending her on interviews ,her not getting the jobs and not knowing why .I feel sometimes you just have speak blunt to some people and tell them how it is with no fancy etiquette.
