A lot of people see tattoo and piercing as a form of rebellious act, and sadly they also stereotype people with such body arts, and its mainly because, a lot of people that ended up in jail do have some form of body arts. That said, body piercing and tattoo is still not something that is deemed acceptable by many society, Japan being one.
Teaching English isn't any different as other teaching job, a teacher is a teacher, a teacher should teach more than their area of expertise, or at least, thats whats expected of them. Supposedly, and most would agree, a Teacher is suppose to be a role model, so connecting all the dots, yes, it will be a bad idea to even try looking for a job as a teacher if you have visible body arts/body piercing, who would want a role model that is perceived as a reble?
Many on this board (mostly the ones who want to work in Japan without a degree) want to go against all advices, either proof a point or try to "voice" their believe and change certain perception, which you can do the same too, but do expect a lot of hurdles along the way.

yeah even in the usa it's hard to find jobs if you have visible body art, and you'd think things were pretty liberal here. *sigh* guess i'll have to rethink the whole teaching idea then =/ how about studying abroad though?
