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)

A lot of what happens depends on the person with the special markings. I have piercings and tattoos and a very long full beard. I am widely accepted wherever I go.

@hippyjoe1955 have you ever been to an Islamic area?

@Hassan Yes they are a bit more judgemental than the Christian churches I go to and preach at. I still don't have many issues with muslims. I did have one muslim woman run over my toes with her baby carriage one day. Her husband apologised. I laughed. I don't know if she was trying to make me angry or if she was mad at her husband and took it out on me.

@hippyjoe1955 hahaha 😂here they're so judgemental. I think because it's their land and they fear difference. It's not like that i fear them, but sometimes i don't feel safe in their areas. They're always angry; i think women with scarfs feel annoyed from the heat and start releasing their anger on their kids and everyone. Therefore, they raise angry kids😠😝

@Hassan You could be right. I'm Christian so my experience with muslims and muslim women is very limited. The ones I know do tend to be a bit withdrawn and aren't as outgoing as their husbands. Maybe just their personality. I have no way of knowing.
