Piscine;4588101; said:I read the first two pages of this thread, and had to stop. I just wanted to say:
I think body piercings are sexy on a woman (in a very sexual way), but in all truthfulness it IS much more difficult to get a job with visible piercings and tattoos. Everyone in the world is not open to extreme body modification.
I also think many folks pierce or tat themselves up to fulfill their desire to have a certain image. I used to think I wanted to be covered in tats because it was hardcore, but I realized that no matter how much I told myself and my friends that "I did it for me", I was lying. There would be no logical explanation for doing it otherwise.
If you like pain, there are thousands of other ways to inflict pain upon yourself that don't leave visible deformities as you age.
Some people say they have done it to respect the ancient African cultures or some nonsense.... You don't adopt ancient cultures because they pierce their skin... If thats he truth, then how come you never studied the culture you are trying to practice?
With that being said, its still pretty sexy when you are young and you will probably either grow out of it or be the old lady with the tats and piercings that works waffle house for then next 50 years. Yes, there are many exceptions, but the odds are stacked against you. Just keeping it real folks.
Deny the fact that not all people are unbiased and open minded when hiring employees all you want, but denial won't change the facts. I have tattoos and stuff, but none of it is visible in the work place.

Someone said earlier in the post that there was only one hot girl, after seeing leah's hair pics, they were definetely wrong. she really is awesome. love the old hair styles

Its kinda funny people think it would be really hard for someone to get a job with piercings and tattoos. I love my tatts... I sat down drew them out and had them done. I don't display them.... Unless I happen to wear something that actually shows them off. Why?.... They are for me.
