Hey everybody! I was just thinking about tattoos and piercings, and I thought it would be interesting to see, if you guys like tattoos and piercings, and if so, do you have any by yourselfs? I made a little poll about this, and I think it would be intersting to see if there is someone out here who perhaps really loves it, or someone who probably really really hates those kind of things.

I'm someone who really likes and loves piercings and tattoos. I have about eight piercings (seven on my ears, and since few days one at my lower lip) and one tattoo (more to be coming soon, when I have enough money again!). I really love tattoos also as a piece of art. Well, ok, there are tattoos which are really bad and gross, but the most I know are really beautiful and full of passion. And piercings... well it's like an addiction sometimes (well this goes for the tattoos too). First I got just second lobes, but then I wanted more and more... I wanted my lip pierced since I'm seventeen I think... and I wanted a tattoo since I was about 14. Now I have one, and I'm planning to do a bigger one in the next one or two years. The problem with piercings and tattoos is, that if you want to work at a bank, restaurants or sometimes also department stores, you're not allowed to have visible tattoos or piercings. Not even at the ears (well you're allowed to wear two earrings, but not more). I think that's is little bit harsh and unnessesary. Because all those things doesn't change the person or how they work, right? Or do you think different about it?

Yes, earrings are counting too of coures!

Hehe I know what you mean. First I thought like you about piercings, but the more you get in to it, the more you like it! But I understand poeple who don't like it.
And yes, it still is a big problem in our society which don't accept piercings or tattoos... even if many people have one. I know about many stores where your not allowed to have piercings or tattoos (even dyed hair is forbidden, if it is an unnatural colour). If you have a visible tattoo, you have to cover it. In Japan for example you're sometimes not even allowed to go into a public bath if you have a tattoo (that's because of the japanese mafia).
I was thinkig for a long time about getting a tattoo, and I chose a place which is not always visible. It's at my right upper arm. I think it will not drastically deform at that place when I grow older or when I would loose or gain weight (I would never get a tattoo on my stomach for example... it would look ugly if I'd get pregnant!).
