Life is full of diversity and rich cultures. Inking and piercing have always been richly involved in many cultures and individuals. Although people are entitled to their opinions, it is a matter of how one goes about expressing said opinions. When it comes to tattoos and piercings here in America, the most common association is unprofessional and somewhat have this intimidation factor. But, don't judge a book by its cover. People make their own choices, especially when it comes to their body. But it does not change who they are as a person. They just have an interest that may not be to your taste/liking. As we say to each their own. For myself, I do find tattoos to be beautiful. I've seen a lot of wonderful ink art on bodies. Now...we shall not focus on people who are just silly and don't think about their tattoos. The ink tells us a little story about themselves. It's like they wear their heart on their sleeves.
Now.
I have one tattoo and it's on my upper left shoulder blade. I'm not into tattoos. So when I decided to get a tattoo I did make sure I put it somewhere where it was easy to hide if need be due to different settings. I do plan on getting another tattoo in the future with my younger sister, just a symbol of our bond because again it's a little story I would like to share and have always. It's for me and I'm comfortable with it. But I won't put it somewhere bold, because again, I am not huge on tattoos on myself.
Forgot about piercings.
Piercings are fun but depend on what it is and where. I am a bit more passionate about tattoos than piercings. But I have enjoyed having my ears pierced and I don't mean just the basic piercing. I've had my cartilage pierced, bar, second hole. You can wear such pretty earrings with them. Now I only have my second holes. I have had my lip pierced and nips as well. But I have taken both of those out after a while it just gets old. Lol. I believe piercings are okay with moderation.
