I don't have a problem with tattoos and piercings per se--hell, I have two tattoos and a navel ring myself. But no one in my daily life sees them unless they are seeing me pretty close to naked anyway. Does not affect my daily life and won't as I age.
My question was the really out there body art that actually impedes one's daily life. An old tat on a saggy hip? Who cares. No one sees it in every day life. A face tat or spaced ears? That's right out there in the open for fricking life. Normal piercings close or become far less noticable over time if allowed to heal. Spacers do not--the skin is stretched and looks rEcockulous (IMHO).
