If tasteful, tattoos and piercings can look great. Personally I only have my ears pierced, once. I know, I’m as hardcore as they come. I don’t have any interest in getting anything else pierced. I have tossed up for a while about getting a tattoo – my trouble is that I am far too fickle and can never commit to anything that I’d like to have for life. Therefore, I don’t see it happening – unless one day I decide to get a star in white ink on my hipbone. There’s about a 30% chance of that happening.
On others, well it’s their choice. My God I have seen some shocking tattoos – but if they love it, it’s their body.
I have to say though, a man with nice shoulders and arms, and tattoos on them is super sexy. The whole sleeve tattoo craze though?! Ick.*
*Just my opinion. Do what you like to yourself.
