My personal reaction is ewww... skanky. To each their own. In terms of employment, when looking for a job your appearance is part of how you sell yourself. If the job calls for someone who's a free spirit, hip, etc. I guess piercings, tattoos, and dreads are OK. In professional fields (law, medicine, engineering) or conservative industries (banking, pharmaceutical) someone who looked like that would not fit in and wouldn't get hired.
In my office she would not get hired. We're all white males, kind of a preserve for an endangered species
