ORIGINAL: jnlee3

Both ears pierced twice and gauged up a bit. No tats, yet, but have been looking for years. Used to work in bicycle shops with long hair, swore into the military then shaved the head. Kept the close shave, grew the van dyke and kept the plugs.

Work in IT now as a Systems Administrator for a small/mid sized company of fruit growers. Some of them initially seemed to have issues with me but not any longer. The money is alright and I get to wear what I want and tats would never be a problem.
I'm going to take my three guesses....Holtzinger, Zirkle or Stemilt. Did I get it? Iknow there are more but those are the ones I deal with the most.

No piercings, tats or hair (my head outgrew my scalp). I sell parts at a John Deere dealer and could get away with it if I chose to but it's just not for me.

Well I don't think anybody really cares what ya look like on the outside but with that being said--I grow my hair and beard out in the winter as it seems to help keep warm in the winter months. Then in summer I trim it up--makes sense to me! That is what I've always done. I am an autobody repairman by trade. I only wish there was a way out of working and still pay the bills! heehee

I used to have a mohawk and I was a HAZMAT driver and a guitar teacher. I had to get a normal haircut for my new job working on ATM machines, but the goatee isn't going anywhere. Iliked my mohawk, but it was a pain in the a$$ sometimes. I want to get my own business going well enough to be able to quit my day joband lookhow ever the hell I please again.

Started getting tattooed at 16. Have several up and down my arms (wouldn't consider them sleeves). Started work as a machinist, went back to school got my nursing degree, worked as an RN for about 6 years, then joined my wife in the wonderful world of fast food. I like the job and it pays enough to keep our head above water. I keep my down just slightly down my back, but not too long.

I bet these guys never worried about their appearance in the workplace or what people thought of chaps, fingerless gloves, etc.

I used to be a golf professional and looked like one.... Now I am into software support for golf software and talk on the phone to customers all day. I have always had a tendency for longer hair, so now it isin a ponytail and am considering some ink. I love the stories of my "transformation" from my co-workers... I got cancer and beat it, and it gave me a new appreciation for life....so now I am going to dress and look like I WANT to, not what i am suppose to.God bless us all and what we look like. We are all different people and look different for a reason. Be happythat we areliving and breathingevery day and try not to be too judgemental of others, you never know who they may be!
