AggieDave 6 #4 March 8, 2005 Tats and piercings are old as dirt. Drugs are old as dirt. Social acceptance has changed back and forth depending on the culture. Personally I have no problems with tats or piercings, illegal drugs I have a problem with. I don't give a shit if you do them (just don't jump on drugs or drive please), I don't want to do them. I have no desire to even try them. I view tats and piercings as personal expression. My tats are the pieces of the story of my life.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yoink 321 #5 March 8, 2005 obviously you're just too old and out of touch grandpa! <--- no tats, used to have 3 piercings, and would rather play russian roulette than take X I guess individuality & self expression plays a big part in the first two.

Conundrum 1 #6 March 8, 2005 I don't think it's being 'old fashioned'... people have been getting tattoos for a very very long time. In this day and age, tattoos are a trend, the cool thing to do. People walk into a tattoo parlor, see something pretty on the wall and say "I want that!" They get it and are now part of the cool crowd. I see it all the time. Then there are people who genuinely love the art of tattooing and get them for their own personal reasons and don't care what other people think. Some people think tattoos are stupid, some people love them. It's all personaly preference. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisL 2 #7 March 8, 2005 Not even remotely alone, brother Actually I DO have a bunch of tattoo's and a pierced ear from a long time ago. I used to do a lot of drugs and drank like...whatever you can think of that equates to WAY too much. If I had it to do over... I dont do any of these things today, so no you are not alone. Life is WAY better for me with all of that behind me.__ My mighty steed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as the drugs are not in my house, or on my property, I don't have a problem with you if you do them. As for the tats and piercings... looking at me no one knows I have either, much less both. I like it that way. I don't have a problem at all with either, although I do think they should be in a place so they can be covered up if needed.
