I don't much like the dress code at my office either. But it was made clear to me when I was hired (and should be at every office job, or else you should ask) exactly what I was getting into.

Men at our office must wear ties (even when not customer-facing) and women must wear hose and no sleeveless shirts, amongst rules about fabric type and so forth.

It is left up to the manager's discretion what other rules might be applied in specific circumstances, but the "professional dress" extends across our company, no matter whether you're a sales-person or just a computer geek in the basement.

Sorry, but you know what you sign up for when working in a professional environment.

Sorry, sweets, life just ain't fair. Most people are aware that extreme tattoos do not get you hired except at a "body art" shop (unless you're good enough to get into the NBA or the NFL). Stop whining and lose the tattoos or be stuck forever in crappy jobs!

Kids do such crazy things to get attention and affection. She looks like a sweet kid - if she got rid of the nonsense.

Fortunately in a couple of years she'll be able to get that stuff removed. It won't be cheap though.
