How are people with ear tunnels, dreadlocks, facial tattoos / piercings, full body tatts or Gothic style looked at in your country?

Here in the middle east it's very frowned upon, people call me names or give me mean looks whenever i pass by, but it's better in the Christian areas. I often go there bcz i feel safer, and i can find people like me.
How's it in your country? I see many models like this style on social media and they seem to live fine.
Trying to find the safest country to travel to when I'm done with my education.
Is finding a job in the humanitarian field easy for inked&pierced peeps?
Sorry if this sounds weird, but i know nothing about it in foreign countries and as i said before you get marginalized if you do this here ( you'll only find jobs at bars and clubs)

In the United States reactions to this are all over the place. Bigger cities on the west and East Coast are more accepting. Liberal areas are pretty chill about it. No matter where you live though it can still be tricky to find a job depending on the field when you don’t look conventional.

@WhateverWorks i see 😬 here they tell us that in the US people don't stare at each other and don't care what others do. My question is, if someone with stretched ear was walking around a bunch of normal people would they call him names? Bully even if they don't know them?

Oh that is definitely not true. Lots of people in the United States are judge-y and have a difficult time with accepting/understanding things that are not mainstream.

You gotta keep in mind that the United States is huge. It’s one country, sure, but it has a lot of variation depending on where you are.


They might depending on where he was walking around. Like I said, the areas that I mentioned wouldn’t, but there are plenty of places in the south and Midwest that might give him a hard time. Rough neighborhoods might insult him. Rich neighborhoods might not actually say anything, but they would still be possibly rude passive aggressively @Hassan

@WhateverWorks ahh okay so it's similar to here kinda; except it's 10x worse here.
