Tats just are not for me. I dont mind of other people have them but it bugs me when people have them where you cant cover them up like face, hands and necks.



I have my ears pierced but its been 6 years since I had rings in them.



How about yall?
 
No. I just don't get all of these people trying to express their individuality by copying this behavior from others.:rolleyes:

you'll be surrounded by people who like to break laws. I don't think that's going to stop them LOL



Imagine when all the Gen X & Y crowd gets to be in their 60's and 70's, even earlier, with butterflies over their butt cracks. That is not going to be a pretty sight. Hopefully they still won't wear thongs at that age!
 
I have one tat, and four piercings, no rings in any, it's funny people can suggest people aren't individuals if they get tats or piercings, pretty ignorant if you ask me.
 
What bothers me, is the people who are bothered by piercings and tattood. I'm what most of you would probably consider heavily modified. I've got 1 1/4 inch stretched earlobes with 4 gauge upper earlobe piercings. A 2 gauge septum piercing and my tounge at a 2 gauge. And the jewlery is always in. I have 3 large tattoos also which are visible. This along with my facial hair(long goatee and big sideburns) seems to scare off alot of potential repeat customers. And it really bothers me. I mean come on, whats more imporntant. The quality of the detail or how someone looks. By no means do i look clean cut but i act very professional and my quality is always the same. Perfect. end rant.

unfortunately, that's most of society and i don't believe it will change anytime soon. most look at the book from the outside, and not what's inside the book that tells the story...
 
Before about a year ago i looked down upon tattoo bearers. But after really looking at some of them, i realized they are really works of art. Some are pretty cool. I always thought about getting a TINY porsche symbol or something on my ankle or something. Even though it would be neat conversation, i could never see myself with 1. I dont really like piercings too much because they dont express anything except i want to be different. However i do respect peoples own opinions and if they want to mess up their bodies i have no problem with it.

If someone wants to be judged for who they really are on the "inside" then why go to all the effort of changing one's external appearance?

i'm not saying one has to change their appearance, especially if they are happy with themselves. i'm just saying that it's just a shame for the judgmental people, because they will miss out on what a person is really like, if they only look at the appearance first...

because its ones right to do so if they feel they need to. You know i'm no lawyer but i don't think anyone has the right to treat me differnt just because i use my rights to change the way i look. I think that falls under discrimination.
