How do you feel about tattoos? Some feel that they are bad. Some feel that they are art. I personal feel that they can be art when tasteful. Although I like that saying that says "if you think your having a bad day, just think someone out there has their ex's name tattooed on them." That always made me giggle because I would never get anyone's name tattooed on me outside of family For example, I have a small frog on my ankle with my grandma's initials under it. As far as piercings, I have a few. I have two on my eyebrow and my nose. I got them because I think they look pretty. Hehe. Do you have any? If not what is your opinions?

My mom pierced my ears when I was a baby. I can't remember the event but I can pinpoint the time it happened. My mom had this superstition. I was born in December. She believed that my ears had to be pierced around the Easter holiday because they pierced the hands and feet of Jesus. So I have pierced ears, but I could have lived my life without tattoos or piercings. I don't see the value add.

I understand. Everyone sees it there own way. :-) That's an interesting story about your mom piercing your ears. Never thought to look at it that way

@T_gray yeah it's a big mistake, my brother had one done with his ex-girlfriend name, I think his wife made him get it blanked over. So funny I always have to laugh at that, not the thing to have done. So your nose is pierced then some have the middle part done some have one side done, which do you have?

Hahaha, yeah I would never tattoo my partners name on me anywhere. I think that is just a curse waiting to happen

I think you are right , it is all about taste level and they can be beautiful, tattoes that is. Piercings I am not so sure about it just looks painful to me when it is anywhere but ears. Of course my grandkids have a few piercings and maybe one tattoo.

Some piercings can be painful. But it's just for a second, just like on ears. It's not for everyone, that's for sure. But I do like it :-)

There was a time when tattoos were not thought highly of but I think things have changed a little over the years. So many people have tattoos now and I have seen some on TV that are just gorgeous.

people are slowly starting to come around to them...but there are few that still don't like them...hence why some aren't allowed in the workplace, for example

@T_gray I can see how tattoos might not be considered professional. My son has tattoos he got when he was young and now he is a youth minister at his church. He has to wear long sleeved shirts to cover up his tattoos.

@simone10 I know a lot of people are fighting to try to get tattoos more acceptable in the work place. Their fight is that it is art and self expression

I can understand. They can be painful. They aren't for everyone

I have mixed emotions about tattoos. They do look fine on some people but I would never consider having one myself.

I am on the side of people who can't even stand a small tattoo.

the only thing pierced on me is my ears and no tattoos. However family members (male & female) have tattoos and so far are pretty tasteful
