Rejected petition End body-mod discrimination in work and learning environments now
Being turned away from college courses, jobs, being told to change how you are comfortable looking all because of body-mods (tattoos, brightly coloured hair, piercings etc) is unacceptable and needs to end. Why are we told the way we look is unprofessional?
Modified people are not monsters.

This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.
If you would like it to be made illegal for employers or education institutions to discriminate against people because of body-mods, you could start a petition asking for a change in the law.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
