well, I believe in freedom and that includes the freedom to make stupid decisions.
And as I said before, I sort of like tattoos because it takes much of the guesswork out of dealing with people. I already know a LOT about a person if they have a tattoo, even a small one.

Nose rings make the wearer look like mucous is running out their nose. My first thought is always this person needs a tissue. Am I hungry after that?
There is a local restaurant here with a rather pretentious name, opened a year or so ago. We tried it one night. The place has an industrial vibe, an immediate turn off. The walls are painted baby poop green. The music was your standard urban crap. But the real turnoff was our server. He had too many piercings to count, including 1 inch in diameter discs in his earlobes, multiple nose rings, lip rings, eyebrow rings, rings circling his ears. He was nice enough, but his appearance was so repulsive we finished our meal quickly, and never went back.
Yes, the staff’s appearance matters. If the customer thinks you need to wipe your nose, your coffee brewing abilities don’t matter.
The amount of money spent on skin decorations is relevant to the povery status of the person. Welfare chicks, Tatted up. Single black women, multiple wigs, nails done every 2 weeks. All with money better spent on important things. Lets get to piercings, putting checkers in ear lobes, split tongues and pierced nipples.
People are insane, and when the Chinese hand out permission to live, they will be the first thrown into the incinerator.
NAILS? UGH, what trash is under those things? If they wipe the ass, they end up with brown under it.

My dad had the tatoo approved by the military, he earned it. It was his identifier. It used to be signifying a life defining moment.
The name of the ship that went down, the landing craft that carried Marines to their eternal reward. Marks of survival and pride.
I touched it and looked at it every night, and he told me his stories. How could I get a tatoo that meant the same or more? I could never do that. What he went through gave him the right. Every silly tatoo and piercing.
How many still remember Pearl Harbor? The wives, mothers and brothers at home excited for mail, and fearing the telegram?
Tatoos are cultural appropriation of people who have actually done something in my book.
That reflects my experience.
Totally agree
Always told my kids, the bigger the gauge, the lower the wage.
I also get further amazed at how the tattooing/piercing culture has grown, it is not uncommon to see middle aged people with tattoos

I got my only tattoo at age 73 soon after my wife Joy passed away, it’s a small red heart on my left fore arm with her name in it.
