I would be reluctant to hire someone with several visible piercings and tatoos. I work with several carpenters on jobs and a few have numerous tatoos and piercings. I don't necessarily see a direct link between piercings and tatoos and poor work performance, but anyone working for me needs to reflect my values and sensibilities to the public I am marketing towards. This includes appearance, attitude, language, manners and work ethic. I wouldn't want an employee showing up for work whose face looks like he/she went bobbing for apples in a tackle box any more than one with filthy, tattered clothes, dirty hair or BO. Individuals lacking the ability to draw a breath without using foul language need not apply either.
