I'm in uniform for my profession and we live by a strict dress code. Facial piercings etc are frowned upon so I'm always swapping over my labret, industrial and tongue bars for retainers and even visible tattoos and brands are enough to put you in a position out of the publics eyes.

As someone who marks 'very' easily, esp around the wrist, thigh and neck area, I have to be extremely careful about playing during a time when I know I have work scheduled shortly afterwards. Thankgod I wear long pants! The thing that annoys me most, when I was a collared slave I couldn't wear my collar often as it would mark and slightly bruise my neck. A sad thing to me as to a submissive, the Masters collar means everything.

One particular time I was in an altercation and had to have subsequent medical exams, I was thankful that the few welts I had were put down to the incident itself since the area affected was the same and thankfully, the marks (though I knew what they were) were only just distinguishable within the bruising. I wasn't brave enough to own up to the fact that they were consensual due to BDSM play.

I'm also a few months off graduating my law degree and I'm pretty certain I wouldn't get away with alot in that profession either - unfortunately, my selfish side is unwilling to give up my vanilla life goals so it's something I have to work around and learn to live with.

I do agree with woodsmans game though, there aren't many professions out there that you could get away with a lot - unfortunately, the vanilla public as I've come to know it are too closed minded and unaccepting for it to ever become so either.

Just my two cents
