Hayley O'Neil, 23, - who also has 20 body piercings - says was also advised to ''stand behind a wall'' when she asked a job centre official what post she could apply for.
She eventually left the Job Centre Plus centre in Blackburn Lancs in tears without any interviews lined up after the advisor concluded: ''Who would hire you looking like that?'' Miss O'Neil, who got her first tattoo from her mother as an 18th birthday present said: ''I just felt so humiliated. I couldn't believe what this guy was saying.
''I said I could take the piercings out but they look a lot worse when they are out."
"The guy said: 'on first impressions do you think anyone would hire you?' He said: 'look at it this way if you were to stand behind a wall - or put a paper bag over your face do you think you would have a better chance?'
"He then backtracked and tried to say that he was sorry and hoped I wasn't offended but I was.
"He talked to me as though I was just going through a phase in my life, but this is my lifestyle choice, and this is who I am."
However a spokesman for the Department for Work and Pensions denied any inappropriate remarks had been made during the interview, adding "Job Centre Plus offers standard job hunting tips which include dressing appropriately when going for an interview or visiting a potential employer."

    It's not really the job centre's fault. They're just being realisitc. No matter how much 'equality' you strive to achieve, societal 'norms' prevent people with lots of body modifications from making good first impressions, and a lot of the time in the workplace, first impressions are what count.

    Exactly I'm tired of all this equality bullshit. She decided to look like a retard by doing that to her face now face the consequences. How can she reasonable expect to get hired by looking like that. It made me lol that she left in tears.

    She has 6 piercings on her face, arms and chest inked, and she expects someone to hire her?

    No one's going to hire a freak.

    I love it when people make fun it pierced and tattooed people, just so i can prove they are idiots.

    But she should have known this type of stuff would happen when she got the modifications.

    Some people have piercings and it looks pretty alright. My ex for example had a few.

    lmao. In the UK? Watch her sue and win a judgement against Jobcentre. Enjoy your rising numbers of black and muslims, coupled with the inability to do anything about it lest you be labeled racist by UAF.

    Honestly the only place that she could get a job would have to be a piercing place or as a tattoo artist. She needs a complete make over if she really wants to have a career where she can actually be respected.

    Problem is that she's gonna have big ass scars in her face after taking them out which would probably look even worse than the piercings themselves :D

    She needs a twelve gauge makeover, that whole face has got to go.

    That's why gauges are retarded. I dont have a problem with tat's and a few piercing's but people that take it to an extreme lvel are idiot's and make themselves look like a primitive freak.

    I always laugh at how these look like plates but the stupid niggers with them can't even afford food.
