Piercings and other things i wish I'd known

Personally, I never understood the appeal of poking metal into one's body or stabbing it with needles to create a mark that will remain there even at the age of 85.

As desperate as I am, I would never date a girl who has tattoos or anything pierced except her ears. Whatever happened to tattoos being something reserved for bikers and guys in prison anyway?

Why are ears okay but everything else not?

Katie; clearly because ears are normal. Duh. *rolls eyes*

Actually; I don't see why anything else is that bad. My boyfriend is the same - nothing but the ears please - and i think he's getting a little weirded out at the idea of me getting several holes in my ears and stretching them, and then putting eyebrow rings and tongue rings in the holes as well.

Fun times.

Why is it that people are grossed out by facial piercings and the like?
