Do you think that they are disgusting or cool? I think they are awesome and even can be sexy! I mean for me I'd rather just have a few tats here and there and piercings and not covered head to toe, but it doesn't bother me either. Do you have tats and piercings or would you ever? I don't have either but want them both soon esp. the tats, I want one on my lower back just not sure of what yet.

personally i like tattoos, and yes they can be considered sexy, though i find too many on anyone to be a put off, not a turn on. i have 5 tattoos and my ears peirced (long ago i had my nose peireced too, but that healed up and i never bothered getting it done again). my tattoos are; a mermaid on my right shoulderblade, a spider on my left upper arm, a japanese symbol on my right upper arm, a heart on my lower back and a butterfly on my right thigh. i had them all done between the ages of 18 and 20, and i still like them now almost 10 years on. i believe greatly in choosing ones that you will still love when you are old grey and wrinkly lol.

if done correctly japanese (and chinese) symbols can look really cool, personally i wouldn't get either done though.. do you ever wonder if perhaps the symbol means something other than what you think it does? i'd always fear that, if i got one done.

I think they are awesome! Piercings and tattoos are a way to express yourself and tell everyone your story. The only thing I dislike is over-doing the piercings in the face, and getting a dumb tattoo, just because you HAVE to have one. I have about twelve piercings (I lose count!) and no tattoos yet, but can't wait til I get one!

lol, I agree! Also, some people just don't look right with them. And yes it is a way to express yourself and is stupid to just get one "just because" because it is something you have to live with forever. I think someone such as yourself and seeing your picture you look like someone that totally fits having tats and piercings, you just have that rock chick to you and that is really cool. -Lora

I don't think that they are sexy or not. I am both pierced and tattooed, but each has a meaning to me personally. I am tattoed with my slave mark on my right shoulder blade and my lable/pet name on my mound. That you can see and read about on my adult website. My piercing was more about a sign of submission to both my Master and me.

I agree, I do think it should be more of a personal thing for whomever gets them done and wants them.I just think it represent who you are. -Lora

I used to thing they were disgusting on women but now see them as sexy. The only peircing I really think is sexxy is naval. It drives me nuts when I see that. lol

I dont think body art is sexy, disgusting or cool...I think body art is and should be just that Art..and like any other form of art if done for the right reasons its an expression of ones life/personality and so on... I only have two tats right now, small ones on my left arm..BUT I'm treating myself sometime in the near future and getting another one done on my back and intend to get at least (including that one) 7 more.... I've had various body piercings but they either rejected, got infected or I tried to change the ring too soon and it closed on me..now all I have left is my ears (once in each ear) and on in the neather region LOL...I will be getting at least my eyebrow done this summer though

For me, I prefer the natural look - I am a bit put off by piercings and tattoos. Each to his own of course, but for me: No I would never have either. and NO, I don't think it enhances attractiveness. This type of thing is almost becoming the norm (at least in the UK), I prefer to demonstrate my individuality by having unblemished skin (at least not deliberately blemished) I want to be the only one in the old peoples' home that does not look like an alien at bath-time hee hee

To be honest I don't have a strong idea either pro or con. I don't hate them, I'm not overly in love with them either. In general I appreciate tasteful not overdone tattoos and piercing really depend again on taste and balance. It's a question of taste, for sure. If I wasn't such a chicken with needles I probably would like to have one of two tasteful tattoos. I'm not sure about piercings but maybe. As for other people, their taste doesn't have to coincide with mine so I can't really approve or disapprove, agree or disagree .

my guy has 3 facial piercings, and tattoos. He has a sleeve on one of his arms, and the rest are sparadically (is that the right word) placed on his body. My favorite though would have to be the one on is arm that is my initials =) I think he looks sexy this way...I do not however find someone sexy BECAUSE they have tattoos or piercings, does that make sense? I have one tattoo on my back left shoulder, and I had 3 facial piercings, my eyebrow, lip, andnose, but I took them all out, I just got tired of them =)

The right kind of tattoos & the right kind of piercings in the right places MOST DEFINETLY are a turn on, for me anyways. Oh, and not to many or to big of either. I've got a few tats & as far as I know, my double pierced ear is still open.

I Loveeeeeeeeee tattoo's and piercings! People are too judgementle now days. It doesn't change who the person is just because they want to personlise their body... I have lots and lots of tattoo's and loads of piercings too. I am proud of mine, I always think very hard about where and the design I am going to have, they all mean something to me. I have angels, fairies, unicorns, dragons, devils, stars, writting and tribal, with more to follow :-) See my profile if you want to see them

Honestly,I think it's ok to get both, but to a limit. It looks so pointless to have so many piercings and tattoos, but I've heard from friends who've gotten multiple piercings and tattoos that it does get addicting.

Well I think tattoos on guys can be really sexy. It really depends on the guy. Ingeneral I lvoe tattoos, but only when they are an expression of yourself. I have 5 tatoos and they all a different form of my personality (some deeper than others).
