Answer 1

Don't get piercings

Answer 2

A lot of hospitals, especially here in the UK have dress codes i.e. no jeans, no facial piercings etc.

But, I suppose that if you did pierce you're lip then you could cover it up. But I would just avoid the piercing all together because medical schools/universities would take a dim view of piercings.

Answer 3

...well i have tattoos and my nose pierced and i'm a scientist--i just make sure my suits will cover tattoos and i don't wear a nose ring when i have meetings.

it's the saddest thing when you have to stiffle yourself because of outward appearances, but you also have to take into consideration you want to be a professional and so you need to appear professional.

Answer 4

What do you want the most in life?a piercing or a medical position where you can afford the comforts in life & feel good about yourself for helping others?And I'd dare say you would probably treat people with infections from piercing & look back & think how glad you didn't go ahead with the piercing.

Answer 5

have you ever seen a doctor with pierced lips? NO right?

Answer 6

it would seem unprofessional to the patients, i would say no
