Here's another item I'm curious about. Do you have piercings and/or tattoos?
If so, what, where, and why?
If not, why not?
In my neck of the woods, more and more people, especially women are getting tattoos. The piercing phenomana has reached an all-time peak. As few as 5 years ago, I've worked in places that required men to remove an earring as part of the dress code. Nowadays, it's not uncommon to be waited on by somebody with earrings in the nose, eyebrow, lip, and the ever popular tongue-stud. Do you think this is appropriate?
What about tattoos? Seems everybody's doing it. It's not just teens around here anymore. I see prominent business people, school administrators, you name it. I considered one for a long time. I couldn't ever make a decision on what I would want to get. By the time I actually said "Aha! That's the perfect thing for me", I had reconsidered the whole issue. The idea of its permanent nature makes me hesitate. What if I change my mind later? An earring can be removed, but a tattoo is a committment.
I'm interested in everybody's thoughts on this issue.
