All About The Bling Bling
Like the title states. Who here has some piercings? Anybody got them gauged out? I have 7/16th plugs and 6 gauge hoops in my ears and a 8 gauge stud in my tounge.
 
my gf wants a belly button piercing. I wont let her have on on her belly or any other part. Just dont like them. Nothing to anybody, just dont. Dont like dodges either, but she has one(let the hating begin). :)
 
No piercings or tattoos for me. I am not a human pin cushion or doodle pad. I think they look absolutely ridiculous. Nothing more annoying than talking to somebody with a piece of metal stuck to their tongue.
 
I have about 13 hours of tattooing, right arm, back, right leg. Tongue, lip, and ear pierced. I used to have 2 in my left eyebrow, but they kept snagging on stuff so I took em out.

Anthony A. that was kinda harsh man.
 
Used to have my ear pierced (haven't worn them in years), and I have a few tats.

Kinda on topic/OT, do you think your piercings/ink/whatever has cost you any business.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the work that you perform, but there are people that judge a book by it's cover and not the quality of it's content.

Anthony:
The topic was quite obvious, if you found it disturbing or offensive you should have just avoided it. You have a right to your opinion, but those with piercing and tats have theres too.

My tattoo is not visible while I'm wearing a shirt. Although I do think people with a lot of tattoo's get unfair judgements.
 
Anthony A, flame on someone else's time. Don't join in on a topic unless you have something constructive to say. Nothing was geared towards you in this topic.

I freaked my folks out once by taking a couple of notebook bindings and cutting them to a small loop, then placing one and bending it around my eyebrow and nose. They were fake, but you'd never know until I took them out! I don't have any, but have been throwing around the idea of a tat for a long time!

Anthony, it's obvious that you don't care for the topic.
If it bothers you that much... avoid it.

I like to check out other people's ink, but I dont ever see myself getting any done. Some people have some really cool tat's but it's just not for me.

Of course all the metal in my ears has kept me from getting repeat buisness. Hell i can stick my index finger thru my ear. But i could careless about losing those customers. We live in 2005 now, This type of thing is becoming a normal part of life. If you can't look past the way i express myself, I don't need your business. I say go find you a white collard Church going detailer if thats what you want. But the way you look does not make the detail any better.

Anthony your post has nothing to do with this topic.
 
(getting back to the subject)....
I have 6 piercings (ear lobes and belly button) and 4 tats (not big ones, about 6 hours total time)

i feel it could affect business, which is unfortunate. i have several tats(never have enough) and would like to go full sleeve on both arms. when customesr from the dealership see me out of uniform in a tank top and ink showing they have never said anything bad, including older customers. it is sad in 2005 people still judge by looks. as long as they aren't crappy quality who cares.
 
You can't see any of my ink if I am wearing a short sleeve shirt and long pants, which is what I usually wear when I am on the job. Customers usually don't notice my earring or ignore it because it is so commonplace, the tongue ring they typically dont notice because I tend to keep my teeth closer together and you can't see into my mouth. The lip ring is the only thing that they really ever comment on.
However not too long ago it was hotter than hell in southern california and I was out working on some families SUV down in Newport Beach. Anyway it got so hot I couldn't take it and had to switch to shorts and a tank top. The owner definitly saw my ink and it didn't seem to bother him at all, however, his 17 year old daughter all of a sudden became much more interested in the guy that was detailing the car and began asking him questions upon questions seemingly without end. She was a cute kid though, little bit of a breezy but nice.
Her father was NOT pleased about her outside talking to the tattooed 25 year old taking care of his car, and he kept popping outside to tell her that her tv show was on, or that someone was on the phone, or to say hi, or to remind her to do something, or to ask her where something was. It was actually kind of funny. So in this instance my tattoos might have cost me some future business.
 
Yeah, I think the fact that the 17YO daughter is looking to hit on you would be more of a reason you don't get a second call than the ink :lol
 
i have my ears pierced. ive had them since i was 11 and havent done anything else to this day. i live in miami and earings, piercings and tats are sooo common. it all depends on where u live. my gf's brother actually has some small guages in his ears that i think look pretty cool at that size. id get them if it wasnt for the fact that i when i go to my parents office they dont want that. a lot of things are more excepted but tongue rings and guages and outside body piercings are still unexcepted in some place.


as for anthony a, everybody get off him, he hasnt said anything else (unless he did and the mods deleted them) and has obviously learned his lesson.
