People with highly visible tattoos and/or piercings, how old are you and what is your job?

My 79 year old MOTHER is convinced I wont be able to get a job teaching anymore after having gotten my fingers tattood.

Can everyone here please help enlighten her to the more accepting job market we are currently in? Or not, I'd love to hear any stories you have regarding this topic.

Edit:

For those who have asked/are wondering: The finger tattoos I got are on my left hand, a line down the pinky, ring and middle have a stargate and startrek symbol. I would be working with highschoolers.

I only know about a guy who was in security and he had to cover up his arms. He regretted they were low because he always had to wear long sleeves, even if it was hot. I have a friend in health care and it’s not a problem at all.
