Tatoos and piercings in society

I say live and let live. People since the beginning of time have been decorating their bodies. Tattoos are a way of expressing your feelings. Multiple piercings is a form of rebellion. "Look at me and see that I'm different from you." What's nice about piercings is that once you're done with that stage they can be removed. Of course not all piercings are of that nature, again a lot of it is adorning the body as one does with clothes, accessories, make-up, etc. Unfortunately prejudice exists in our world and people don't judge a person's character before they judge a person's appearance.

I think they are acceptable in society today. I have a tattoo, my husband as two, my sister as three! I went to meet another young mom today, and I was wondering why her gum always seemed to be in the same place in her mouth, until I realized it was a green tongue stud. Why not? People get them to express themselves, and get tattoos to mark something important to them. I don't regret mine one second.
