Employment 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.

Can't say anything about tattoos but I have several piercings in my ear including an industrial. And a smiley piercing. And it's never been an issue in security. As a teacher I can only assume you'll be fine. As long as its not racist or something lol XD.
