Social workers, have piercings affected your job/opportunities?

I’m a first year BSW student with an appointment for a lip piercing tomorrow. My Dad, of course, is very opposed because a) he hates the look, and b) he is concerned it’s going to affect my career, especially if I want to climb the ladder in government.

Have you gotten the vibe that face piercings have affected the way you are perceived by clients and coworkers?
