I'm all for self-expression, but the harsh reality is that people do judge you based on your appearance and you close a lot of doors for yourself by engaging in a lot of body modification.

I wouldn't be able to be where I am today if I was as tattooed and pierced as you are. I was pushing things as it was with my long hair, which I begrudgingly cut recently and seem to get a better reception for.
