Seeing this girl with visible body mods (lip piercing, 1 inch stretched ears) who is a Chemist makes me feel better that I’ll be able to keep my current piercings and stretch my ears bigger. :)
I don’t see too many scientists/Chemists/etc with body mods that often, so I thought this was neat.
Plus its great to see more Women in Stem fields in general.
In my experience, STEM fields are more welcoming to people with body mods than other fields. I think the only exception has been engineering, in my experience.
When I was a kid the only professional fields really accepting of tattoos were tattoo artists (duh), army and police, or surgeons. For the latter two they needed to be covered by your regular outfits.
Piercings are actually really surprising because just like in cooking, you run the risk of them falling off into whatever it is you’re making.
(AND ENGINEERS ARE A BUNCH OF DORKS)
Most STEM fields seem to be pretty accepting of body mods, because honestly, if you put in enough work to get into a STEM field and actually have that much of an interest, they have no real desire to deny you. Especially off of something as arbitrary as body modifications.
I’m just sitting here wondering where she got those fly-ass goggles.
