What would/should/can you do if your employer discriminates against your tattoos and/or piercings? What, if any, legal recourse do you have if someone refuses to hire you because of your body mods?

This is actually my QOW (Question of the Week) but while drafting my response, it lent itself to other thoughts and subsequently a much longer answer than I usually publish here as a simple blog. So, instead I published it as an FAQ article page, which can be viewed here.

She used Vaseline for only the 1st few hrs. Then Lubriderm lotion or A/D ointment. Is this normal or should she be worried about the color fading. Maybe not deep enough in her skin? I got a blue star in the design on my tatt and the color is fine (no white)."
