In general, I find tattoos and body piercings unattractive. I don't mind small nose (nostril) piercings or a very small labret piercing. I don't like most other facial piercings, and I find more than a couple of ear piercings unattractive. This is just in general, and just my preferences. Piercing below the neckline give me the heeby geebies. I have seen a few tattoos that I like. I have seen far more poorly executed and poorly thought out tattoos. And everyone under 35 seems to have them in the Austin area. There are even kids at the middle school with tattoos.
For me, I don't think there are many things that would have enough long term meaning for me to have them marked on my body. I know my kids names, after all, I did give them their names. Everyday, I reaffirm my commitment to my dh. The only thing I could think of would be the mountains of home, and I don't think any tattoo artist could do them justice. Or perhaps, the Tlinget version of the love birds, Eagle and Raven. But that would take a very special artist, with a good knowledge of northwestern native art.
What had great meaning for me in my twenties, doesn't necessarily have great meaning today. I'm put to mind of a phrase from a song "I"ve changed my hairstyle so many times, I don't know what I look like". My tastes and interests have changed so much, I'm rather glad I don't have a tattoo from my 20s.
