My parents felt the same way about pierced ears. They associated them with people who "just got off the boat"!! (their words) Of course, I got self piercers (remember those?) and they just thought they were regular earrings. oooo was my dad mad. He used to say "you may as well pierce your nose too while your at it!" Little did he know that nose piercings would become popular. A tattoo would have put me in a foster home!
"A tattoo would have put me in a foster home!"
LOL! Yep. Me, too. ;)
