  1. I've thought about this plenty of times, my conclusion is usually the same: I really don't see the use of piercings, they don't add any 'beauty' to my eyes, rather, they take away lots of it. They're also very unpractical, can cause infections if made wrong, can be dangerous if they get stuck with an object. Can you imagine the pain of having one of them pulled out of your skin because it got in the wrong place, like some cloth? As for tattoos, it's almost the same. They don't add anything super duper, and the ink filters through the skin and those microparticles eventually reach your blood. You wouldn't want having ink in your blood, eh? I know, it's not like hundreds of people die from ink intoxication every year I guess, but it still adds up to the list of factors that can end up harming your body.

  2. Not into them myself, and they're generally a turn-off on others. Even pierced ears are a bit silly IMHO, mainly since I'm not much into jewelry either and I don't see the point otherwise. (Especially considering the medical complications that piercings can cause.) That said, I've seen tattoos that I like, and I'm not categorically against them in principle, but most people don't put much thought to getting a tattoo, and even when they do they don't get it done right. Seems like a lot of people get one done one on the spur of the moment and/or at the closest/cheapest place - often in one of those moments of inspiration that come only after an evening over-consuming alcohol. To me that seems like a really, really stupid way to go about it. Maybe they're happy with the result, but to me it's like seeing a neon/velvet Elvis painting on their living room wall. Amusing at best (and not in a good way). The "gangster" tats that people get as a result of peer pressure or trying to fit in with a certain group don't impress me either. The kinds of tats that I like are works of art, and should come with a story that's more interesting than "I got drunk one night". Unfortunately art is hard to do well, and subjective even in the best of cases. Personally I can't imagine a combination of subject matter, cost, and trust in the artist that would induce me to get one done myself.

  3. Tbh tats can be a bit much especially if they are on the face but I do not mind a few tasteful ones, they are alright. I think piercings can be really hot depending on where you have them and how many, like I cannot stand body piercings for the most part but face piercings are awesome (Though if you have too many they look gross). Honestly though, just being natural with no tats and no piercings is best.

  4. Don't want to harsh critically too much but I find that piercing and tattoo are a great big turnoff and don't like them. Mostly because the art that tattoos use to represent was individual and unique. Now everyone with a taint of talent grabs a needle and gets to jabbing making the art not as unique or individual as it used to be. But that was back before everyone made it a trend and jumped on the wagon. As for piercings, don't like most of them. Ears and nose (Side not septum) are okay, anything else I don't like.

  5. everyone has tastes, but for me, i loathe piercings/tatoo's, im sure someone will argue with me on this, but its my own preferrence, if i see tatoo's on a woman, it somewhat makes a 10/10 woman go 0/10 for me, insta "bleh" for a male, tatoo's are somewhat okay (aslong as they cover it up), but i would never get one, its just...kinda stupid in my point of view ? piercing on women...well if its ear piercing thats, kinda common and i dont mind it, but anywhere else in the body ?, man thats just another "bleh" with a side of "ugh" but then again, this is my point of view on piercings/tatoos and everyone has their own tastes, (e.g wedgy is fine with tatoo's, lein-tan doesn't like them, but agree's that some can be good) though, thats not to say if a person has a tatoo or piercing, i wont talk to them, my professor for one, has tatoo's but i dont loathe him, i just find them...not stylish ?

  6. Don't have any and don't plan on getting any. Not really my taste - especially piercings - but some tattoos can look good, IMO.

  7. Really great LN I've been reading recently where the MC gets reborn 100 years later where several historical events have changed from the 1900s onwards. Simple things that Kouki does are always misunderstood by those around him which leads to a lot of great comedy. One of the things that really makes this one shine though is having events rewritten in someone else's perspective, so you can see what the others really think, and not just the MC's misguided view of what others around him thinks. Other than No Game No Life, I don't really think I've read an LN before that has caught my attention enough to actually get me motivated to finish it.

  8. Probably will never get either. Tattoos don't really change my opinion at all. I've had several coworkers over the years that have had plenty of them, so I guess I'm just used to it? Only thing I don't like about Tattoos is when you can't see their original skin anymore. Other than that, I probably won't really even take notice. Had a coworker have to point out that she even had a tattoo after like 5 weeks of working next to her. Piercings look painful, and my mind generates 'pain' in a place similar to the person I saw having a piercing (this isn't limited to just piercings, but for the sake of the conversation, I won't go into what else). I don't look down on it, but for my own well being, I really can't typically be around people with piercings for extended periods of time.

  9. @alupacard my opinion on tattoos. Honestly I love them. I have a few myself. Some that I've done and some that I haven't done. I actually tried several times to become a tattoo artist. But unfortunately. Things don't always work out in this area the way that you want them too. Maybe had I been from a different area I would of had a chance. But everyone around here. They just do you dirty with a smile on there face. I've Got about Six Tats. 3 of which I've done myself. Yeah I've been licensed and passed pathogens tests and hygiene/sterilization tests. I'm actually more strict on this then a lot of shops I've been in. I won't tattoo someone without wearing a mask either. It's safer. Everyone is entitled to have an opinion and I believe if people don't want original and they want something that other people have as a tat then good for you. If you like it get it. For some people it can be like a cleansing therapy. Artists talk about troubles and why they are getting tattoos. Maybe being in a vulnerable position with that artist for what can be hours just makes you feel connected as they grind the ink into your skin with the sound of the machine buzzing. There is a kind of comfort and connection that tends to happen. And people more often then not open up and let loose all of these emotional burdens that they keep pent up. And the artist tends to at least feel like they are listening. It's an amazing experience that I've been a part of twice now. I enjoy it. As far a piercings. If that's what you want then you have every right. I've had a few of those too. No shame there You do you. That's all I say.

  10. As far as tattoos go...I just have one question: "Would you put a bumper sticker on a Rolls-Royce?" I wouldn't....and that's why I don't have tattoos. As for piercings.....NOBODY is punching a hole in my body.

  12. @XII360 Changed a bit of my team up yet again xP Found that Hector does well with Swap far more than Pivot allowing him pseudo two movement when under full HP. Sothe now has two Savage Blows combined with Miracle now which I found to increase his survivability compared to the old set. Together with Ostia's Pulse and Quickened Pulse, Micaiah gets a fully charged Moonbow right from the start which helps her hit hard and kill enemies without the need to double (due to her really poor speed). She should probably run something other than Res Ploy, but haven't decided yet to go with Odd Res Wave (as I have another Summer Takumi to get rid of), or get rid of my Vangard Ike and give Micaiah Def Tactic 3 from him. Lastly, newest and possibly most useful member of the team. Catria can take on any Red unit thanks to Triangle Adept 3, and usually takes 0 from swords and maybe 4ish from red tomes. Having Lancebreaker as well makes her a threat to half of the colored weapon triangle now. Also, she can destroy archers with low attack like Takumi really easily thanks to Iote's Shield. Usually Hector takes care of such enemies though.

  13. Awesome! I don't have any tattoos, but I also have 9 piercings. ^^ Thanks for the post! Ah, I see. Thanks for the comment! Interesting! Face piercings seem to be the least accepted so it is nice to see a different perspective. Cool to hear from you! Interesting POV ^^ It is definitely inconvenient to have piercings at times haha. Really good to hear from you! I like unfiltered comments, so it is cool to hear yours also! Tattooing is certainly becoming more "accepted" or popular so it does make sense that some art may not be as original. But I'd also like to think that there is still some cool art being made out there ^^ Thanks for your perspective! Cool cool. Thanks for your view! ^^ I like that you acknowledge that everyone has their own tastes and I enjoyed reading your thoughts! ^^

  18. When meeting new kids, I'm mostly known as the "quiet type" which is totally wrong. And I have been living up to that name for the past few years, but I decided to change all that and now I show the true joking (or whatever) and silly person I am. Now, about the scenario. If I want to get friends, I have to a) respect them and b) be someone they all like. So if I had to change my personality, I would do so, because I have loneliness phobia (is that even a thing?!) and I just cannot stand to be alone. Either that, or I could always just stay the way I am and focus on my studies. If I turn out to be a genius (I'm not.) then it sure would attract some attention and I would get friends real easily. But the difference between my choices is long-term and short-term. The first one, where I change my personality, is short-term because if I change my personality and I will get friends in a short time. But the second one is long-term because it requires hard work and after working hard for six months or a year, I will finally get friends who will admire me. I really hate studying, so I guess I'll choose the first one. But if I do that, they'll think of me as someone just like them, and I won't be admired. But, like I said in the beginning, I absolutely loathe studying, so I'm choosing the first one no matter what call me lazy I don't care.
