Tattoo's and metal piercings?

They're everywhere. I read almost half of Americans have tattoos now.
I'm not a fan. Tattos are for Marines and Sailors, IMO.
Why put a bumper sticker on a Ferrari?
And nose piercings are just brutal.

It depends on the tattoo and placement. Some are actually decent works of art and have meaning. But just getting a tramp stamp for the sake of having it to me is tacky. I was in the military for 24 years and up until recently there were rules on tattoos and how many you could have. When I got out I noticed lots of folk had them. According to the Pew Research Center 32% of Americans have tattoos.

32% of Americans have a tattoo, including 22% who have more than one
69% of adults say they got any of their tattoos to honor or remember someone or something. 47% say they got a tattoo to make a statement about what they believe.

I have pierced ears. Does that count?
I do not like tattoos. Period.

I think they're OK for Marines and sailors on the upper arm or somewhere hidden.
When I go to public places, I see many women with huge tattoos on legs and forearms.
What about Soldiers and Airmen? Do they count? Coasties have them as well.
Those look painful.I am very much the odd one out in my social group due to not having any tattoos or piercings. From my perspective, body modification has been a part of human culture forever and can be beautiful and meaningful; it can also just be a lot of fun. I have many friends and family members that have tattoos and piercings that fall into both categories.
This artist's work has always been fascinating to me, as has Dr. Woo's.
I have a tat that is a period; placed in a strategically tasteful location.. What are your feelings regarding that?
I knew a guy that claimed to have a barber pole tattoo. I just took his word for it.
For the record I don't have any. I don't look down on those that do I just dont see the point myself.
The only reason I don't have a tattoo is because the artist refused to give one to a drunk kid who stumbled into his shop from the bar next door.
Well I cant be sure that didnt happen to me a few times but.... I was always afraid Id end up with something in Kanji that I think says something meaningful like family or strength but it really says something else.
Those are sage words of advice in that precarious situation...
Yes. Just envision a dart board and stay in your lane, bro.....
I always wonder what the people in high school at beach week think about those decisions to get tattoos when they turn 50..
Like this. Looks like he passed out at a frat party and his buddies drew pictures on him.
I have no tats nor piercing; my wife has her ears pierced. I'm not a fan of either (other than traditional earlobe piercing on women). While I like to think my attitude is "to each his/her own" it's not entirely true (and doubt it really is for the others in this thread who claim to subscribe to that philosophy). While I would never want to tell another person what they can or cannot do, I'll admit that I sometimes judge someone on such things. If you were to come in my office for a job interview & you have an abundance of visible ink & piercings, it would make me hesitate - my business still leans to the conservative side.
Oh, and one other thing - there are two people who I might tell what they can/cannot do - my sons. The older, in college, commented a few weeks back about considering a tat (his girlfriend has a couple). While I did not tell him he could not - he's an adult - I did make sure he knew that I would not be paying for it.

I think if you have tattoos or piercings that cannot be covered with clothing your setting yourself up for failure. Too many people share your opinion. Its not about that hindering someone's ability or even your own perception its what others perceive of your company.
Never have liked tats on a woman; to me, it spoils their beauty. If guys want to look stupid, have at it. Which I guess makes me a chauvinist, so sue me.
On my 40th birthday, I went out, got drunk and had my ear pierced. Thought it was cool to wear a tomahawk earring to Braves games. By age 42, the hole had grown over from non-use. CSB

Well, thank God his eyebrows grew back!😎Like this. Looks like he passed out at a frat party and his buddies drew pictures on him.
I got one when I was 17, small just my name
I know pretty stupid
My friend and I went to Colorado to visit a friend in army
Got real drunk and Bobby wants a tattoo
The tattooist was a real heavy set guy, well over 300 lbs
Bobby was being real crude and saying fat jokes, I didn’t like it
The artist was quiet, just kept doing his thing
Bobby wanted his name on his arm
All was good until later in the hotel room Bobby removed the bandage
It appears the artist got the last laugh
He spelled Bobby, Bobbie like a girls name
Karma bitch
I thought it was hilarious!!

For me, I relate tattoos to graffiti. I can appreciate the artistic element, they just look tacky to me.
