If it makes folks happy, I’m all for it. But not my cup of coffee.

A 2004 Harris Poll shows a third of tattooed Americans say tattoos make them feel sexier. I guess some people find people who look trashy sexy.
But many people don't.

I had relatives who were given tatoos for free.
At Buchenwald.
I see no reason to emulate them.

“Harris Poll shows a third of tattooed Americans say tattoos make them feel sexier.” ........... Different strokes for different folks. Never had one, don’t desire one, and they turn me off not on. They also look like Sh*t when you get old and wrinkled.

I guess some people find people who look trashy sexy.I see a tattoo or a piercing on a woman and the word "diseased" pops into my head.

A bit narrowed minded?
I have no tats and only earrings.
To call someone that has other interest than you diseased?
My step daughter has a few tats....great girl.....Your remark was very rude.
What if one of yours decided to get one? Would you call them diseased?

I never said that women who deface their bodies with tattoos or mutilate themselves with piercings are diseased; that’s just the impression they express about themselves.
If one of my daughters chose to descend into the lower depths of popular culture in such a way, I would still love her in spite of the negative message about herself that she would be projecting.
BTW, by piercings I mean other than a discrete, utilitarian ear piecing. And for the record, in the interest of logic and clarity, self-mutilation is more than an “interest”, it is an action.

Frankly, I'm not thrilled with those, either, but a single ear piercings have been practiced by women of all socio-economic levels for so long that they are not associated with druggies, carnies, prostitutes, etc. like lip piercings, nose piercings, etc.. Therfore they don't signal "I don't respect my body" to the world.
