[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Instead of bashing people back who say piercings and tattoos are trashy, why don't you try to educate them? I'm from a generation where the only people who got tattoos were military or motorcycle gang types. Piercings were for Tower Record employees or those into punk rock and then the Goths started doing it. 
  To me, I still don't understand why anyone would want to do that to themselves. I have heard all the things from it is a way of expressing yourself to being an individual.  But I also see too many people who don't really think about what they are doing and have regretted the piercings or tattoos. And now all the bad tattoo shows and websites have popped up. And more than one person has expressed that they wish they hadn't done it, especially the guy I know with a tattoo of Mickey Mouse giving someone the finger.

So, instead of bashing someone like me, educate me on why doing this to yourself is such a great idea.

Multiple posts on this thread have attempted to do just that, and they have been completely ignored because a lot of people with your opinion are not interested in facts or education, they are too married to their opinion. I have already stated that it'd be near impossible for a baby to grab my piercing, and that I wear one during the week that is so small that most don't even notice it. I have it because I think it's pretty, its pretty unobtrusive, and I know it will close if I decide I no longer want it. I have a relatively visible tattoo on my upper back and neck that I designed myself (I am also an artist) and it was inspired by the abuse that I endured as a child. I was emancipated at 16, and decided I wanted the tattoo around then. I made the design and mulled it over for 2 years. Once I reached a point of stability, and could afford it, I had the tattoo done. Yes there are people who make thoughtless decisions about piercings and tattoos, but the same could be said about all aspects of life couldn't it? It seems like a silly reason to judge the entire population. My tattoo means a great deal to me and it always will. It's also much prettier than the emotional scars, which will also always be with me unfortunately. [/quote]
