I own a business and would NEVER hire anyone that looks like that. Here's a tip that I give small business owners. Think about who you want to hire, craft an opportunity that will attract your desired candidates, and put them through your selection system to find the best one. Then during orientation (which is an aspect of HR that is lost in many organizations), spell out the rules in organization. For example, in my company, men are not allowed to where earrings, and women are only allowed to wear one earring per ear. Make sure that anyone caught not following the rules will be disciplined to the fullest extent possible.
Business owners need to recognize that it is their company, and that they make they decisions. They need to establish the rules and enforce them. Too many of them are taking a laissez faire approach which is harmful if you want it to grow.

David Clinger, a cyclist on WebCor Builders, got a full-face tattoo while representing the team sponsors.
That article references a BME law consideration. From how it appears, appearance can be regulated as long as it's not a "protected class" issue. From what the law says, companies can make their own rules and ees have to follow them. More importantly, though, is the idea about diversity, and that's what I was trying to go at here. Sure, body mod is a choice, but I think people have to look inside themselves about diversity if they truly want to be aware of built-in prejudices.
