Piercings, Tattoos and Devil's Horns

Well, I have a discreet Hula Girl tat on my right upper arm - about 7" or so, but can be covered with a short sleeve shirt. I was 63 when I had it done, and my wife had an "ankle bracelet" done at the same time. Mine is a "Sailor Jerry" classic design. I'm thinking about a mermaid on my left arm, if I can find someone in Hilo with the Sailor Jerry flash sheets.

On the other hand, waaaay back in the early 1990s I can remember not hiring a gal because of a large tat across her shoulders. Time have changed, or at least I have...

There are still some places (and professions) that don't want to hire someone with visible tattoos, especially not bit garish ones. I mean a butterfly on your ankle isn't a big deal, but some demon that shows above your shirt collar is a whole 'nother ballgame. That's one reason why I think young folks should think long and hard about what and where they get tattooed on their bodies.
 

Ladies look nice with a small tattoo on their shoulder or ankle, why people want to pierce their private parts beats me, does it give more satisfaction?:)
 
Speaking strictly for myself, I dislike tattoos and body piercing, period. (Except for one tiny hole in each ear.) I agree with whoever said that the tattoos could present a real problem in the future for the person, who may then have to get them removed if possible.

I wonder why people can't just get the picture drawn on their skin with a semi-permanent ink that fades over time but still lasts several years.
 

I don't understand the male fashion for shaving body hair and then getting tattooed. If someone wants bodily decoration, at least hair is natural. I can't imagine wanting to cuddle some waxed guy with ink all over his chest and arms.
 
I've never understood any of it. I have two piercings, one in each ear. That's it. No tats. People with lots of colorful sleeve tattoos and neck and legs tattoos are usually working stocking shelves in grocery stores that I see. I have a young relative who loves those big piercings and tattoos but he works in a tattoo parlor. Which is about all he can do cause of his body art.
