Not tats, no piercings. I've GREATLY increased my tolerance of tattoos, used to have a Zero-Tat standard. If 6 out of 7 people agree to get them (which deep down is what the influence is about) nothing I can do about it. And I cant narrow my options down that much without going to church. Ironically I think if you get one might as well get a few more. Its like a basketball jersey with 1 pinstripe, or those all white pee wee football helmets with numbers on just 1 side. The canvas isnt blank and solid anymore. You've already added content on the billboard. Might as well accentuate the advertisement some more.
Why does one have to be making a statement for or against conformity by getting a tattoo?? Maybe they just wanted one because they think it looks cool.....I don't have any, but a lot of the people I know do, and none of them are trying to make a statement. They just like the way tattoos look on them.
ive also kinda grown to accept tats also. well tats on the arm and the guy really nice arms. i dont like leg tats at all. the ones on the neck is very unprofessional.IMO if i had to get 1 it will be where no one can see it. i have 5 piercings in counting. 4 in my ears. tongue done twice. the first time i got it done i let it close. got it redone. want more i just dont know where. pretty sure its gonna be more in the ears. orrrrrrrrrrr maybe the nipples J/K
Haha! 4 of the 6 deacons I've had at our church have tattoos... And many of the women folk do too, including a current deacon's wife! STEREOTYPE FAIL
The only thing I wouldn't like is for my girlfriend/wife to have an exposed tattoo. When at a formal event and wearing a dress, I think it looks tacky for a woman to have an exposed tattoo.
I have never understood tattoos and the need to get them but like RMTex said, to each their own, I guess. If someone does feel the need to have one, I would prefer they wouldn't get one on their face like Carly Smithson's husband. Also, I don't know why but I am really turned off when I see an attractive woman or girl (like Carly or Megan Corkkrey) with a huge tattoo on their arm. Gross.
I get some strange looks everytime I'm involved in a Bar fight. <a href="http://photobucket.com/images/bad%20tat" target="_blank"><img src="http://i318.photobucket.com/albums/mm404/rhondaruu/f5174ba4cabbc241.jpg" border="0" alt="BAD ASSSSSS TAT!!! Pictures, Images and Photos"/></a>
