Tattoos-I am going to start off by saying that the body art I am referring to is-tattoos and piercings. When I was a teenager I was very into heavy metal music, black everything. I wanted a tattoo so bad, but I was too scared to get one. I am so thankful that I didn't get one, because I probably would have gotten a skull and crossbones tattoo. I would be very embarrassed to have something like that now. I am very different than what I was then.
If you are looking to get a tattoo, ask yourself if it is something that you will like forever. What is the tattoo going to look like when you get old, and what will it look like if you gain or lose a lot of weight? I know many people that regret what they have tattooed on their bodies. It is usually permanent so make sure you really think about it before you do it. Removing later on may not be that easy.
I am by no means knocking anyone for getting a tattoo. I don't mind some of them. But in my personal opinion, I don't like sleeve tattoos, or any tattoos that cover a good portion of the body. It is ok to express your individuality, and it doesn't matter if someone likes it or not. If you like it that is all that matters. Tattoos these days are more a fad than they ever used to be. All sorts of people are getting them, so there isn't much of a stigma anymore.
Body Piercings-I don't mind body piercings, but some go a little to far. I think that some are just down right nasty, but that is my opinion. Piercings, unlike tattoos, are more easily removed. You can also cover them up well. All you need to do is take them out. Some leave huge holes in your ears though, so you may want to think about that before you try gauging. I have a tiny little scar in my eyebrow from an eyebrow piercing, but no one would ever guess that I had it because you can't see the scar unless you are 10 inches from my face.
I think piercings are becoming more popular, but there are still a lot of people that don't like them. People who have them get stared at a lot. People would stare at me and I would wonder why, but then I would remember I had my eyebrow pierced. I honestly loved my eyebrow ring. I would probably still have it if I didn't have to take it out for my job. I got it to express my individuality.
I am ok with tattoos and body piercings, but I don't like the extremes. Nobody has to agree with me either way, because I have my own opinion. If you like a lot of tattoos and piercings, then go ahead and get them. If you don't want any, then don't get them. As long as you like who you are, body art or no body art.
