Tattoos and nose piercings (or multiple ear piercings) signal low class.

Like it or not, the world judges your appearance, and certain things make you look trashy. If you don’t believe me, go read the multiple threads in the beauty section on how to look wealthy/upper class.

Lol no. I work for a large financial services company and most of the women in my office have more than one ear piercing, including the most senior women. Nose piercings are also not uncommon. Please join me here in the 2000s lmao.

+1. Im surprised by posters thinking it’s counterculture or aligning it with wild or brightly colored hairstyles.

I live in a college town and plenty of very basic/preppy styled young women have them. I work in a fairly conservative corporate office and, again, there are polished and accomplished young women with them. I find them as shocking as women showing their ankles at this point.

Does dcum think everyone with a tattoo is a sailor or a prisoner?

Not a sailor or a prisoner…just low class and trashy.

Of course we realize they are more popular now. We also realize the growing income inequality and standards resulting in less people with legit class.

ICYMI: just because a lot of women have tattoos, etc. doesn’t make it classy.

lol. Money does not buy class. Let me guess, you’re a sahm to a 7 figure household and you think you are the end all be all on class??

Money doesn’t buy class.

People with class recognize this.

Classy people carry themselves in a certain way. We know how to dress. We know how to style our hair. We know the importance of handwritten thank you notes. And we know that tats and nose rings are just as bad as wearing your jammies in public.

You sound very parochial.

How so?

Recognizing that money doesn’t buy class (as evidenced by the parade of new money celebs (and their products progeny) who dress inappropriately, display their wealth in rather gaudy ways, and simply don’t carry themselves with class, I’ve underscored that people raised with a certain dignity who accept mores and values established generations ago need not be affluent to be classy.

Is that what you mean by parochial?

Doubtful.

I suppose you mean that it is wrong to judge someone with a visible tattoo or nose piercing as not classy because they could actually be classy…and my parochial worldview makes me wrong. Let’s agree to disagree. The reality is certain things leave an immediate impression.

I take back my guess that this lady is a sahm to a wealthy man. This is a single childless sad sack who lives in a studio apartment and teaches at a private school making very little money. She spends her time seething at the new money families who she must put up with a her teaching job. She is far better and classier than them, and oh, the unfairness of it all! They have money while she has none. But luckily her “classiness” keeps her warm at night.

lol

Bless your heart.

Perhaps we should start a new thread on what demonstrates class versus what demonstrates a lack of class?

I bet you $20 that nobody thinks tattoos or nose piercings are classy. Heck, google says such things are tacky, unprofessional, and generally disfavored.

You can have your tattoo removed, pp. Even Pete Davidson realizes how ridiculous tattoos look now that he’s older.

Pete Davidson definitely made the right decision removing his body “Art.”
He no longer resembles a walking coloring book.

I just saw him on The Breakfast Club.
He actually is handsome now.

One dainty nose stud really makes zero difference to a person’s physical appearance.
It isn’t very noticeable unless you are standing directly in front of someone and are looking very close up at their face.

But at the same token, only attractive people in general can rock a nose ring.

The hoop looks good on someone nice looking but that big cow hoop on the nose never looks good on anyone!

You have to have a certain look/personality to wear one as a white person. I see a lot of middle ages moms wearing them that should really take them out and let that era go.

I think I would rip my nose apart on the first day of having a nose ring when I reflexively rub my nose, sneeze, or blow my nose.
