The author, Bonny Gainley, claims one's family and friends accepts them as they are, but business don't. The author is open minded. She personally did not have any issue with visible tattoos or piercing, but he was paid to choose applicants who would fit company's image. Businesses see their applicants the way applicants represent themselves just like people judge each other based on their appearance. She also said some people represent them self to send some messages.
