Wait...that you think people with tats are dirtbags, or that you are a dirtbag/unproductive member of society by virtue of having a tattoo/tattoos? ;)

You get points for tattoos, based on size/location. Double points for any piercings that aren’t in your ears.

The IRS will be THRILLED you thought of them! Since you’ll be an unproductive citizen, you will need to register as a Democrat.

I wanted a certain tat once. I went to check on it. Dang it was expensive. Tats are very expensive.

I would have to be more productive so that I could afford to be unproductive.

do i get extra points for gauged earrings? my lobes are 6ga.
what about my industrial?
tats are prolly nominal for points. i’m wearing a polo and slacks right now, you can just see the edges of my arm tats peaking under the sleeve, and the edge of my chest tat near the collar.

LOL!
Right now, my entire troupe of 10+ has or is getting their belly button’s pierced. We are talking everywhere from age 18 to about 65 (we’re talking her into it).

Two already have the lotus tat on my back....my intention is to keep adding to it each year so it goes up my back and wraps around my waist-— so I’ll have the most colorful skin in the nursing home :)

They can be really expensive. I think you have a new tagline with your ...”more productive to be unproductive” comment!

Okay, I’ve tallied the points and conferred with the judges (my 1 year old, a cat, and a dog). You get double points for any gauged earrings. You get triple points for the industrial only because I had one a few years ago and had major pain issues with it. As long as the tattoo on your chest is neither a Looney Tunes character, nor a rose or butterfly (unlikely since I believe you are male) you get points. If you had tragus piercings, you’d score a year’s worth of Turtle Wax and the “My Little Pony Tattoo and Piercing” set, but that’s only because I have mine pierced and I’m biased.

Overall, you did very well.
