IMO, tasteful tats are cool. Like anything else, there are some people that tend to go overboard.

Pirercings..personally don't like then, wouldn't have one myself, but again, tasteful is cool, outlandish is not.

I've got one tattoo and ten piercings. Nine of the piercings are in my ears, though. All either 14 or 12 gauge.

(And yes, do not adjust your monitor--my hair really is that color. ;))

I just have one tat so far. It took me 12 years to get it after first considering one. It has a pretty deep meaning to me. It had to in order to be on my skin permanently.



See, that is exactly why I don't have a tattoo.
When I was a kid, I LOVED the idea of a tattoo. I loved to get them in a Cracker Jack box. I thought it was tough and cool and expressive.

Two things prevent me from getting a tattoo. First, I tend to view it as a trend/craze, and I typically prefer to run the other way than to run with the crowd. (I mean, there are newspaper articles lately about just how fashionable tattoos now are. Sorry, too popular to me.)

Second is the fact that since it's sooo personal to have this ink in me for the rest of my life, I don't like the idea of anyone but ME putting it in me. That means I can't accept the tattoo from just "some guy" who runs a tattoo shop. Any tattoo I would get would have to be put on by either ME, or my WIFE. And since I am not a tattoo artist, and am not even married, I won't have one any time soon. And that's not to say that I would not want one! I actually would like to have one. Choosing a design is another story. My tattoo would have to be one that no one else had used, and for damn sure it wouldn't be selected right off the wall of the shop, no matter how cool-looking.

In the meantime, I have my left ear pierced. Got it done July 13, 1989. I wear a silver hoop there. I have toyed with the idea of getting pierced "down there," but I have yet another ideosyncracy: I like the idea of having ONE "mystical" piercing. Add even one more, and then NEITHER one is that mystical "one" to me. So I won't get more (at least not at this point. Maybe I'll change my mind.)
Also, I would prefer that someone near and dear to me do that particular piercing. I don't know anyone suitable right now.

There's this chick at work who is really cute. She's married to a guy with a bad drug problem and their marriage is on the rocks. (She's not with him lately.) She has a 2-year-old son. She's so hot, and she's told me that she has various piercings since her old housemate used to do them. She has it "down there" and my curiousity is SCREAMING to wanna check it out! I find myself fantasizing a bit about her just because of that! But she's not a likely prospect, so what are ya gonna do. I seriously do wanna get oral on a chick with a clit-ring...just for the crazy newness of the experience.
Uh oh, is that TMI???

I seriously question the word "art" for any piercing I've seen.

I seriously question the word "art" for most of the tattoos I've seen.

The best body art I've seen was at Key West, where the bodies are painted.
