Piercings and tattoos, I don't get them

[Stardust 641]

I don't see the point in putting supposed "art" on a body which is already so beautiful.

But at the same time I guess whatever is someones choice, and should be determined themselves. It just doesn't look very nice to me but ye. What makes it worse is when you see a tattoo parlour with a tattoo removal joint that just shows.. and there are medical issues you get having tattoos. If you really want something can't it jus be temporary. Honestly though I find people with tattoos less approachable and kinda scary :c even if the art is nice although a lot of tattoos are scary things like demons and that uh idk why you would want. Or random misspelled quotes and such lool. I think the difference between things like tattoos and lifestyle choices is that it's basically permanent since removing them is so hard. People often regret them later in life or they fade in funny ways. They are trendy now but fashions change really. 

But I go further and say I think things like make up and jewelry ain't great either no matter how cool, I think people just wear it to big up their image and hide themselves. Like whats the point in a false image. People look beautiful without layers of stuff on them to me, ofc I feel sorry for those with very bad injuries and that but otherwise. A lot of the girls around are powdered with layers and layers of make up and u can hardly see their actual face. You might as well put a mask on of a completely different character to gain confidence (maybe i just described furries in fursuits lmao)

There are multiple reasons for people getting tattoos or piercing. For me, the reason for me getting tattoos is spiritual~ 

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I might get myself a tramp stamp uwu with the name of my.. ÙwÚ No like only tattoos I'd get are some that have spiritual meaning to me other then that I don't want tattoo or piercings although I've thought about getting lip piercings hehe. People mostly do it for the look of it really I don't think most do it for a spiritual reason that is. Most people get something cute or nice that is.

What I don't get is why the pet peeving over a piercings and tattoos? "Destroying God's work?" I mean no offense but coming from a religious background too, I found that pretty far-fetch.  If my mom wouldn't have minded I would've 50 or more tattoos already. She's fine with ear piercing, since I have two pairs but I'd love a snakebite or some on my eyebrows. But maybe in the future I'll try to get a permission for at least one or two tattoos for starter.

I mean I don't really care what people want to do with their bodies when it comes to piercings and tattoos and stuff. It doesn't affect me and it's their body, if they want to get a tattoo or whatever and that makes them happy then they should go for it, I don't have any reason to stop them. It's their life and body and they can do what they what with it. I think getting a tattoo would be kinda neat, I might look into getting one at some point actually

I find both tattoos and piercings to be cool. I personally wouldn’t want any part of my body pierced other than my ears though. Right now I only have each of my ears pierced once but I’m really wanting a double or maybe even triple piercing in both my ears. I am also considering getting a tattoo in the near future.

I don't have either but I get why people like them, tattoos more than piercings though. I kind of still see them as a waste of money personally but if people like them, no harm done~

[Splashee 28,566]

I don't really get them either. Sometimes I think it is too much, especially piercing in tongue and that other place

[Evil Pink One 13,507]

They're fashion DARling! They come and go and no reason to be.

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I'm fine with tattoos (except facial tattoos, those are stupid). I don't understand piercings, most of the time it looks like someone ran into a nail-gun. The only piercings that I'm fine with are ear-rings (but not those stupid spacers).

[Thuja 3,659]

I don't really care what other people do with their bodies because at the end of the day, it's their body and not mine.  It isn't like some tattoo fairy is flying through my window to give me tattoos against my consent.  Just as long as there aren't any Nazi tats or anything like that, I don't really care what other people put on their bodies because it isn't any of my business.  I'd probably already have a few tats of my own if I could afford it.  I wouldn't get any piercings though, I think I have enough holes in my body.

[Rainbow Cloud 18,311]

Tattoos and piercings wouldn't be to my taste as I have no desire to have something permanently inked into my skin with a needle or bits of metal stuck in my body. Have no problem with others getting tattoos or piercings if they want to though.

Hm... I don't care for looks in general. I would like a person with hundreds of piercings the same as someone with a complete natural look. But if it makes them happy, I'm happy too.

[Olly 1,011]

they're hot. Usually. I wouldn't go for it myself though 

[Clawdeen 15,450]

I got them because they looked cool. I felt like they gave my look more personality. Not only that I used to get compliments all the time when I had my septum piercing. All the time. 
 

But now that they’ve all been gone for so long I don’t miss them just due to the fact that they just never healed. Especially the eyebrow piercing. It would catch on my shirts, hats, and that would always hurt.

I’m not really into tattoos and I absolutely hate piercings. 

[Midnight Danny 9,027]

Hmm, tattoos maybe, but piercings...

Tattoo is the only way to get a cutie mark

I used to call them ‘bum tattoos.’ 

[Astralshy 27,301]

Definitely not my cup of tea

Well, you are making a good point :3

[Cash In 22,504]

Nope. Don't have either of them and don't plan on it. I can see the appeal, but they're just a bit too much for me.
