Is it bigoted to be repulsed by body piercings'?

I have a very negative reaction to body piercings. Ear piercings are fine..but I especially react and recoil when I see nose piercings. Also but less so, with tongue and lip piercings I once had a very sweet, talented, hairdresser who had a nose ring and I always had to avoid looking at the
piercing. I never left her until I moved because she was very talented and pleasant and I find it difficult to find hairdressers who I think are really good.
I was recently told by one of my friends I should 'get over it' because I was being too judgmental. Her friend told me I was too prejudiced and biased...so I just wondered what others think. I really do not see a reason to 'get over it'..but maybe I am wrong and should be more accepting of others choices?
But I still recoil at the sightšŸ˜

I'm not repulsed by it, but the who cover yourself from head to toe in tattoos and rings and body-bling today does nothing for me, and in fact I've seen very attractive people who chose to go down that path and now they look like freaks starring in a side-show.

Dear husband and I were in paying for our homeowners insurance last summer, and the girl who helped us was so pretty, but both her arms were doodled with ink, and once out of the insurance building my husband said to me, "if I was single, the last woman I'd go after would be one who was stained with body ink".

I agree with hubby, and if I were single and playing the field, nose and ear and lip rings along with body ink would be out.

We don't have to look back far... 1990's and prior to, to remember when women were women, and men were men. Now there was beauty, and without all of the circus-like body bling.

Truth is, if he were single he'd probably be the last person she'd be interested in, too. Isn't it great how the universe balances things out like that for us?

None of my children have tattoos, but they all married people with a few tattoos. Body ink and piercings are no-big-deal to the 40 and under set.

Your comment is moot, and spurred by your insensitivity over my stance and opinion of tattoos.

My son never wanted a tattoo or piercing but he did dye his hair . . . blue, green and then red. Now, he shaves his head. His mother freaked but I told her to relax as it was truly harmless. Maybe I approved as I had to ask permission to do any and every little thing which was always denied.

I'm not insensitive to your stance. I was merely stating that someone with tattoos is equally unlikely to be attracted to someone who dislikes ink as someone who finds tattoos unappealing them is apt to be attracted to someone sporting ink.

That's why Baskin & Robbins makes 31 different flavors. Or as they used to say, different strokes for different folks.

Right is right and wrong is wrong! Be sure you take a stand in what you believe or else you will fall for anything! A strong backbone is preferable following the sheep!
 
Piercings at least can be removed.

All I can think when I see someone like the picture below .. how much makeup is it going to take once you are older and past this 'phase'?

When you are 18, you don't think of ever being 60-70-80 years old.
