Piercings and College Interviews?

<p>I was wondering what are your guys thoughts on college interviews when somebody has several piercings...</p>

<p>I am hoping to get my tragus pierced next month meaning there is a good chance that I will not be able to take it out before I start doing college interviews (I am going to do interviews over the summer and the healing time for a tragus piercing is six months to one year). Right now I just have double lobe piercings and a stretched helix piercing (which I am planning to take out for interviews).</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for your opinions!</p>

<p>It’s an ear piercing so its not too crazy. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree. I think ear piercings are fine, but nothing too wild lol.</p>

<p>-Googles tragus-</p>

<p>-throws up-</p>

<p>I don’t think it matters. That would be an extremely superficial way to judge how you would fit into a college.</p>

<p>A lot of girls have this at my school now, I think it looks really chavvy (aparently you don’t use this word, I’m not sure what the equivalent is. maybe rebelious/blingy?) But still, as long as you have a small one in I’m sure it won’t look too bad.</p>

<p>Don’t go big. but it wouldn’t look waaayyy off for some interviewers.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s a big deal. I’m going to interviews with a nose piercing for the same reason. a tragus piercing doesn’t seem too noticeable. if you’re too worried about it than you can just bring your hair down to cover it.</p>

<p>@UKgirl there is no equivalent to the word chav. trust me, I’ve tried to find one, and I still don’t get what chav means</p>

<p>Urban dictionary cracked me up: “A young lad about 12 years of age and 4 ½ feet high baseball cap at ninety degrees in a imitation addidas tracksuit, with trouser legs tucked into his socks (of course, is definitely the height of fashion). This lad is strutting around, ■■■ in one hand jewellery al over the over, outside McDonalds acting as if he is 8 foot tall and built like a rugby player”</p>

<p>“The male of the species, the ‘chav’, is often to be found lurking in braying packs close to fast food outlets or late night stores. It displays a distinctive livery with which it attempts to attract the female (‘chavette’) - most commonly, the Burberry-effect baseball cap (placed at a jaunty angle, sometimes partially covering the face - this is known in some cultures as ‘snidey’); the ‘sports’ clothing (this is somewhat confusing as the chav is not renowned for its athletic abilities) and countless items of ‘bling’ (Chav patois meaning jewellery or other adornments). The origins of said ‘bling’ are various as the chav typically possesses neither a means of employment or indeed any type of education. Chavettes, meanwhile, tend to have hair in at least two colours, ill-fitting tops and white tracksuit tops (usually Kappa). Note their ornate ‘love bites’: tribal cicatrices around the neck, usually perpetrated by a near-toothless male known as Kev, Daz, Gaz, Baz, Tez or some other monosyllabic name.”</p>

<p>xD that did not make me less confused</p>
