In town today a youngish woman walked towards me. She had so many piercings on her face I swear she rattled! Also half of her face was tattooed totally.
It looked horrendous.
What do you think of this fashion?
I dislike seeing women with tattoos but it seems to be the fashion these days. Wonder what they'll look like in their 70s? Not keen on face piercings either - must be gettin' auld.
Fashion means to me a changeable thing, tattoos are meant to be permanent and some piercings will also leave a permanent mark. So no I wouldn’t consider tattoos or piercings a fashion they are more of a lifestyle and personal expression thing. It’s also not a new thing it’s been going on for centuries in other cultures. I have a few discrete piercings but have never felt the need to be inked but that’s not saying I wouldn’t at some point in the future. Heavily pierced or tattooed faces don’t do much for me but if other people choose to live that way then good for them.
They might find it hard to get mainstream employment, then they may well cry they are being discriminated against. I am not a big fan of body art without reason.
I have a niece that would send a metal detector psychotic.
But, she likes the way she looks.
Each to their own, one day she may have regrets, who knows
Hmmm ... mental issues? How wonderfully open minded and tolerant of you OG. It’s more than likely that some people who sport tattoos and piercings do have mental health ‘issues’ just as it is that the type of people who’s appearance you approve of do.
