I thought about it but decided I already had too many

If you have to ask about the pain,
you aren't ready.

Laumann and others believe it allows people to broadcast to the world what they are all about.

I'm different, just like everybody else.

No tatoos and only one set of pierced ear rings. Ya know, I like to change shoes once in a while, with tatoos it's the same day in and day out. Not to mention I'd prefer not to have a big black blob on me come my 80th birthday.

IMO,nothing says to a potential employer "don't hire me" more clearly than a tattoo.

I'm surprised the number is that low -- maybe it's because I live in Southern California, but at the gyms where I swim (scattered throughout Orange County), in the locker rooms I'd say it was more like 25 percent of the women between 18 and 50 aren't tatooed, excepting first-generation immigrant Asians.

One of my gorgeous nieces has a boyfriend covered head to toe with tatoos, and every one of the kids in their "crowd" has at least one. She is the ONLY one with no tatoos. With a twinkle and a smile, she says that it make her stand out! God bless her!

One time I saw a freaky heavy metal dude in a hamburger joint that had a tattoo around his throat. It was a dashed line labeled "cut here". I wondered at the time how he made a living. Trash hauling? Weed whacking? Warehouse lumper? No, scratch the warehouse work - that would put him in proximity to things of value. Good choice there, dude.

If you like, please share your experience.

not sure if your request is tongue-in-cheek, so here goes...

got a tattoo (about 4"x4") on my back/shoulder blade area in college, hoping that patch of skin may not sag too much upon aging and is not visible unless I'm at the pool/beach. it is from my favorite book.

got a couple of piercings. my bellybutton, and 2 in one ear, 5 in the other, my hair conceals the top two while at work.

my older sister called one day, told me she had just gotten her hair cut and was in the mood to do "something else wild and crazy" (her other half was out of town for a bit), so we went and she had her bellybutton pierced. that was a bad piercing, they messed it up and it didn't heal for ages, imo, the ring they used was too small. she took it out during her 2nd pregnancy.

had my tongue pierced, yep, chipped a tooth, and took that out when I got a real job (a.k.a. left college). at one point in college, my friend and I considered an eyebrow piercing, but we were concerned about reports of hitting nerves, she was in ROTC, and I wouldn't be able to get a good job with that piercing.

"Really, nowadays, the people who don't have them are becoming the unique ones,"

As a (relatively) young person, I guess I'll just have to remain unique. And employable.

I have to assume most girls these days know what guys call these when they're not around. In my experience, it's accurate.

Hey, man. Working at a record store is kind of a job. Or, from what I've seen on TV, you could work as a tattoo artist or chopper repair guy. :)

Tattoo on the small of her back = slut. We thank the girls for doing this, it makes them easier to pick out. Suggestive clothing can me misleading. A big 'ol tattoo above the butt-crack never lies.
