Tattoos, Body Art & body modifications

[nero_bolt]

I dislike tatoos

I disliketatoos on women even more, think they look so yuck and cheap and as a couple of friends of mine say to me it make the women look skanky 

and then you have this.. The body mods..... YUCK 

What are all these people going to look like when they are 40 and 50 etc......

With tattoos now in the mainstream, some people are discovering new ways to standout from the crowd, pushing their bodies to artistic extremes.

SARAH FERGUSON, PRESENTER: You might think that the craze in body art couldn't get any bigger than it already is, but tattoos have become so common that enthusiasts are searching for ever more outrageous body modifications, as they're known. For example, eyeball tattoos and tongue splits. If you haven't seen one it's worth staying with us, although it's not for the squeamish as our reporter Monique Schafter found.

Some people are 40 or 50 when they get some, so probably not a concern for them at all.

can you imagine someone with these body mods and tattooed eyes  rocking up for a job interview.

wonder what these people do for a job with the extreme body mods

are they even employable

We would not employ them in our business as our customers would object. However, I expect others may hire them if their customer base is accepting of that type of individual. The local fruit market would.....................and some may be self employed.

I have issues with facial piercings myself. I can't look at them as it makes me feel sick.  Tatts....not for me and I would discourage family members from getting them but..not my skin, not my place to object.

I don't like tattoos or a lot  of body piercings but thought nothing of having my ears pierced when I was 12 so that I could wear the family earrings when I turned 13. The earrings were not of any value just that they had been worn by grandmother and great grandmother and i just did what everyone but my mother had done before they turned 13.

(My mother missed out because she was deaf, way back in the 1930s they didn't pierce ears if the person was deaf.)

I don't employ people so I don't know if when faced with it would I choose someone without tattoos over a colourful and metallic applicant.

As for customers not liking it, I don't know how that would affect any business but you do have to put your business ahead of a tattoo if it came to that.

If any one has to have tattoo or body piercing to stand out they must be pretty ordinary to start with. Once the do decide to get one/ some of those thing done , all they have managed to do is conform to a group of people like them and no longer stand out

some people look like animated graffiti walls.
