Context : I have visible piercing and tattoos too.
I had a talk with the persons doing the interviews in the company where I made my internship. It was really a nice place, with some people with tattoos or piercings, casual looks... And they told me that look was still kind of important, because there is a higher chance that you fit in the company if you share a same style.
It goes both ways, they told me they already had people during interviews who came in full suit, and they were thinking "he didn't actually understand, or maybe don't care about, the kind of company we are"...
So I guess you just have to fit, to find the people who will be in good terms with each other.
And take care of your personal hygiene, THAT is important. And be careful about your environment, because people will be nicer with a tattooed person who flush and wash hands after getting to the toilets, and clean when he spilled his coffee than with a person in suit who don't.
Well that is sadly not always true but in any case I will.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
