Sainsburys/Waitrose uniform policy

I have interviews for both Sainsburys and Waitrose lined up this week, however I'm tattoo'd (nowhere that cannot be hidden with long sleeves and normal clothing), along with small tunnels and a septum piercing.

I'm pretty sure neither company will approve of the above, but I'm prepared to cover tattoo's, wear inconspicuous plugs and hide/remove my septum piercing. My question is, does anyone know the current uniform policies of both companies? I've found some pretty outdated bits on google but nothing recent.

I have a job now of a similar standing (Retail) that is fine with all of the above, but I'm not sure where supermarkets stand.

Any info is appreciated, although comments pointing out my bad life choices in terms of my own body will not be! (Seems to be a common response to such questions!)

Thanks!

There's a guy in the Waitrose next to my sixth form who has a tattoo sleeve, it might just be that store that allowed him.

I know a girl who has a tattoo on the back of her neck and purchases a ridiculously large plaster to cover the tattoo with.
