13. I've known a lot of people lose out on good jobs
because of piercings (particularly eyebrow, nose and those large hole ear things.)and because of heavy visible tattoos. (there is a world of difference between a butterfly on your ankle and a scene from Dante's Inferno that starts at you shoulder and ends at your wrist.)

Most times they are never told why.


I have never heard of an apartment complex having an appearance clause. It seems strange to me but may be a backhanded way to prevent gang members (current and former) from renting.

Anyway I'm sure this isn't the first time he lost out of something because of his body art it just may be the first time somebody actually told him why.
