Do You Want To Get A Body Piercing (Stretched/Gauged?) Or Tatoo And Why?
message: I really wouldn’t like to have a body piercing nor a tatto cause those are things that in my opinion are a way to protest about something and right now when everything is OK do it, Ok pierce it, or whatever there is nothing to complain about and piercing is uncool.
name: anirulita
message: I would be interesting in getting a tatoo if it commemorated something really important in my life or had special meaning to me. For me, something as permanant as a tatoo would have to hold incredibly significance or meaning. So yes, I would definately consider it.

what do you guys think?
name: lykomgitsBURNOUT
message: No; they’re too permanent. I’ve always been prone to changing my mind (a lot), so I would want something that changed with my mood or the weather, etc.

message: It’s all about making yourself identifiable as different and sometimes about the astetic pleasure of looking upon it. The peircing or tattoo is a physical extension of how you think. Most teens need to identify with people who will be open minded to the way they think. Black eyeliner, multiple peircings, and tattoos can be a helpful marker to identify people whom a person could identify and discuss things with. Another part of this kind of expression is in the pain of the procedure. Physical pain, at least amoung today’s teens, is an accepted way to deal with any phsycological pain caused by family or life. It’s a viable releif of those emotions, and in alot of times is often praised when someone comes in with a new peircing/tattoo. All the more attention is drawn to the individual when someone who disaproves of the peircing/tattoo sees it and comments upon it. Because the teen doesn’t care about the person’s opinion, it makes it easier to display self confidence. Thus, having these differences is very pleasing to teens.

name: Tawni
message: I might get a tatoo when i get older. I’m too young now, but I’ve always enjoyed body art, and wouldnt mind some for myself
As for piercings, I don’t really want anymore. I already have two, and the thought of getting more holes in my body dosent really excite me.
name: pictur3scrazy
message: no way i will never get a body piercing
name: calvin
message: I would get a piercing depnding on where it is. The same goes for tattoos. The thing abiut tattoos is that you have to think about when you get to be like, 90, no one wants to see “Grandma’s” back or breast tatoo! EWWWW!

name: Amanda
message: I have one tattoo already and I’m getting another one very soon, I’ve become addicted to them! I feel that its my body and all do what I want with it…I’ll be the cool grama 40 years from now!!! But for me body piercings are something I wouldnt do because when I’m older all most likely kick my self in the ass for doing it!!! So its only tattoo’s for me, and I’ll get as many as I want!!!

message: no Way Beacase it is not right to me do somthing like that to me.
name: floridastar
message: I wouldn’t get a piercing, because as a guy, I just don’t see something like that being part of my image. A tattoo, however, is something totally different – provided that you don’t go for something bland and mainstream like a tribal/celtic tattoo, you could have something amazingly unique about you. I want a tattoo, and I’m definitely looking forward to getting one.
name: anonymous
message: i already have one piercing and want more, along with a tattoo once i get the money. I understand it is permanent but there are some things which will always mean something to me, and if that is the way i choose to expresss it, then judgemnent should be reserved. Especially if you haven’t experienceed it yourself.
