piercings and tattoos for them or against them?

I can tell this is written by someone who has never had a tattoo done. If you go to a REPUTABLE artist (not some "kitchen scratcher"), you would know that they cover the guns with plastic and tape (at least mine does) that gets changed and thrown away after EVERY tattoo. Even if I were to get two tattoos done on the same day, one right after the other, my artist would change EVERYTHING. Needles are single use, no need to worry about re-using needles. Everything that could come into contact with blood is covered with plastic wrap and discarded as soon as he is done. He wears gloves that he changes multiple times during the process. He also wears disposable aprons when he tattoos. Everything that is reusable is auto-claved at the end of the day or before he begins the next day.

Also, just because I have tattoos does NOT mean I am a risk-taker. I am about the most careful and paranoid you will meet. For me, my tattoos are a way for me to always have things with me that mean the most to me. My kids, my football teams, my favorite characters. Yes, it may seem dumb to you and others, but again, it is MY body and no one has the right to judge me based on what I look like. I don't do it to people and don't appreciate it being done to me.

i agree it can be over done but its good in moderation. i dont like the gigantic plugs im okay with the small ones like maybe up to a 4 guage. i think my piercings and the way i dress make me look vintage lol but i didnt get the piercings just to look that way. a lot of people get them because other people have them. and i also agree that piercing guns should not be used i will never have one used on me at all. not even for my ears. and on the colored hair thing ive had my hair so many different colors. i just got to a certain point and wanted my healthy natural hair back so yea i shaved my head but now its about a inch and a half long healthy as can be.

I can't tell you how many wonderful chicken folks I've met since getting getting this tattoo awhile back, people are always stopping me to talk chicken talk when they see it...and I'm a sucker for some good chicken talk. And I'll add, I'm gainfully employed, well-adjusted and without a criminal record.

Wow, when I was in anyone getting a tat had to be sure they were covered when sleeves were rolled up. That's quite a change. I'm glad they let you do that. I can't think of a better way to honor your fallen comrades.

How do you like Bragg? I was there 2 years during peacetime. My artillery unit was getting ready to go Airborne. They were in the process of transferring men that didn't want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

as the saying goes. We used to race the airborne guys in formation on Ardennes during PT. Yeah we usually lost. Those guys were just in better shape.

As you can see there are a lot of people on here that aren't judgmental. Threads like this bring them out of the woodwork.
