Many persons have piercings and tattoos, Some have one ,some have many more and some have in places that would make a sailor blush with shame. Some of the tattoos are big ,some are small, some are personal experiences ,some are of the names of lovers or loved ones. What do you think of tattoos and would you date someone with a tattoo ? What if the person had a tattoos of a lover on them ,would you demand that they be removed. What about pornographic tattoos are there any such things or is it art and any thing is allowed in art ? What about piercings ,what do you consider overdoing it or do you disagree that this can be overdone ? .Well we know about ear piercing ,those are commonly accepted but what about nose piercing and multiple ear piercings ,do you think they tell you about the person in question ?What about pornographic tattoos are there any such things or is it art and any thing is allowed in art ? Do you think there will be a time when all these piercings and body are universally accepted just as ear piercings are now accepted?.

I do not like the piercing! And as for the tattoos I like a lot!! But not too many, just one or two tattoos. I like to see them and I like them too but not in my body! lol. The tattoos are sooooo nice in other people bodies but not for my body! I think that if I did a tattoo my parents would kill me!!! lol! Well have a nice day and hope you will have a very good week ;) see you soon and bye bye.

I dont like piercings either except a single ear piercing ,I have been know to admire a single tattoo .I might admire a simple tattoo ,nothing extravagant and nothing offensive and usually like a flower on thea woman;s lower limb or hand

I don't understand why people judge what other people do to their bodies. A lot of people express themselves in different ways. Some follow trends and some try to be as different as they can possibly be. I personally think most piercings are pretty cool and will accept any tattoo that means something. I don't really like it when people just go out and get tattoo's of stupid things like bible sayings when they aren't heavily christian or their family crest when they are just an ignorant american.

I personally do not have any tattoos yet, but I do want one, and I have a few piercings. In the end it was my decision to get the different piercings that I do have, and its just a way for me to express myself. Truth be told I like the actual process of getting pierced. Right now I have an industrial piercing, and my tongue. In the past however I have had my eyebrow and my labret as well.

I believe that it's how some people express themselves. It may or may not be a form of art. i like how it looks on some people, but only a few. Most of the people I see with a lot of tattoos come off as bad gusy to me. I don't think I'll ever have a tattoo on my body. Not because of the pain but just because I like to look clean and I'm happy with the way I am.

Well to be honest any mark on your body would be something like its a part of you. Meaning well i wanna ask you something first Would you like to wear a single t-shirt for the rest of your life? Well probably not i guess Having a tattoo is just like wearing a certain t-shrt for the rest of your life, no wondeer all people are trying to find the ways to remove it. Besides the chemicals which they use to put on a tattoo are very injurious to heatl and might result serious disorders. Ear piercings and nose piercings on other hand are quite common . well actually in my country it is a ritual to do so which i hate. Its actually your choise wherether to have your ears pierced. but you can be alert that while putting on earings and if they get stuck in something or if someone pulls your earing then your ear can bleed, same goes for nose when you crash in something your inner nose might be poked with the pin and might result in serious bleeding. If you really wanna do it then i can say nothing its actually your choise but well in my opinion people look good specially the way that are, jewelries just are additional features which makes others jealous.

Well if you live in a culture say Africa it is normal to have your ears full like a dinner plate and piercings and tattoos.It is not for me though tats can mark you for life especially if they are someones name and they pack you up.when you get old and your skin sags it does not look to good.It is painful as well,it is personal.Over in England most people have a piercing or tat so it is normal here.Alittle while ago we had punk rockers and they had darn great chains hanging from their cheeks and nose ,I used to think supposing they got caught up somewhere they would get their face pulled off how painful is that.

I like the way you answered this question you gave the cultural perspective,your personal opinion as well as implications.By the way I used to always think that one day some woman ,god forbid ,is going to hurt herself with one of those big earring they normally wear

I think all of that is up to the person to decide what is over do-ing it. Some tattoos and piercings aren't for me and I would never get them but I don't think other people shouldn't. If that's how they want to express themselves then it's fine by me. I have two tattoos myself. One is a pink flower on the top of my foot and one is a tiger's face in the shape of a butterfly on my hip. Boh can be covered in the workplace since most don't let you have visible tattoos. At one time I had both my ears pierced, the cartilge at the top of my ear, my belly button and my tongue pierced. Now I just have my ears. Many people, especially in my family, did not like them at all but I didn't take them out until I was ready to.

its just for fashion by which we can attract the people towards us thats it..the tatoos wont give any advantage for us but those makes us rich and makes us a attractive in the people..that give the nature of us and gives the background of us i mean whaeather we belongs to middle class family or a rich fanily only tatoos are common in rich type of families even ladies are also interested in tatoos but its not that much of good to be with tatoos which has some eddect on the health and skin

Well I think that tattoos with a meaning are okay with me. I am not really a fan of excessive tattoos though. Like 1 or 2 tops. As for piercings, well I'm fine with the ear, but not really a fan of anything else. I guess the bellybutton is okay.
