piercings and tattoos for them or against them?

[Tala]

I have my tongue pierced and I like the fact that nobody really knows it's there unless I show them. My ears grew back (figured out that I have to wear Titanium jewelry), my navel grew back (never liked that one much, was in the way a lot) and I have another un-visible one that is still with me.
I never really could decide on anything I wanted permanently tattooed, and lets face it, I'm a bit chicken about it too. Piercing is over really quick, tattoos take time.

Tattoos and piercings can be tasteful or overboard or trashy, depending on the style, number, and how the person wears them. I really don't care what other people do though.

Beekissed ~ body piercings (except for ears at the mall) are not done with a gun like you are thinking of. Any REAL piercer uses new, autoclaved sterilized needles and sterilized body jewelry. The sterile package is opened in front of the customer, the same way my dentist opens a package of sterilized tools before he looks at my teeth. If your piercer is not up to those standards, turn around and WALK OUT. Secondary infections that occur are usually from touching the fresh piercing with dirty hands while it's still healing. Having a piercing doesn't automatically make one a risk taker. Driving to work is far more dangerous.

I like them

I think they look nice! I like your hair as well.

Thank you! I do think that there is (as with ANYTHING) a line that can be crossed. That guy is obviously TRYING to look intimidating. You cant clump everyone with Tats and piercings into that group. I don't want to look intimidating. I love people! If I decided one day that I wanted horns implanted in my forehead, I would probably have to come to terms with the fact that not everyone's gonna want to hang out with me anymore... But maybe some people would, who knows...

I am not against piercings just certain ones. And the piercings you have are fine. Just people like the guy I mentioned and the people with the piercings that stretch their ear lobe out and see through I am against with. What are those called anyway?

Oh gosh, I don't know,
Just stretched lobes I think. I have tons of friends with those but I don't think they'd look very good on me, so I've never been tempted to do it. I think it looks neat on some people, not so good on others. If they like it then I don't care. I saw somebody with a big hole like that through their nose. That was the only time I've ever been grossed out, and that's only because I could see boogers.

yeah, if he was qualified, had good references, and was a decent person I would. Not that I like his piercings, I think they look a bit daft and also make him look surprised due to the V on his forehead. But you're not hiring them to look good (unless you're hiring models, of course), you're hiring them to do a job. If they can do it, why not?

I suspect he wouldn't like my clothes either, and that's fine too
