It also depends a lot on the company itself. We have a "relaxed" dress code, their term is business casual, but a lot of stuff is pretty straight laced around here. We have approx 5000 systems employees (mostly analysts) and I have yet to see a nose ring around here. Of course in the area I'm in (assembler programming) I think I'm on of the few employees that don't use walkers. Most of the senior analysts just walk away and shake their heads when they see the 8 x 10 picture of Michael Knott at my desk where he is covered with baked beans and Neapolitan ice cream. I have no piercings, a little ink, and spend about 10 minutes a day with my headphones off. I am the radical in group.
