I have a nose ring (a hoop) and have worn it since interviews/day one at my firm. It’s only been commented on once, with another associate simply asking if it was new or if I’d always had it (he interviewed me, so either it wasn’t an issue or he just never noticed it before). I’m a 3rd year, at the same firm I articled with. I like to think most people in the profession are no longer as antiquated as the career services advisors at the law schools tell us…or maybe they have just learned to keep their judgments about the bodies of others to themselves at this point.
I did the same - took mine out when I started working at a firm. When I first went in-house, I got my nose pierced again as it was a pretty casual workplace. I then moved back to a firm and kept it in. I still have it at a conservative company but I keep it small (a tiny gold tri-bead). I’ve never had anyone comment on it.
