Wow! What did you do to 'set him off', if you don't mind me asking?

In the end, everyone spends too much time criticizing and judging everyone else. Do what you want to do and be happy with your decisions and leave others alone even if they don't fit your definition of fashionable or beautiful.
I mean come on - if I worried about what people think on this fashion and beauty forum, then the fact that I'm over 40 and have long hair seems to be a big no no, I am over 40 and shop in the juniors section (because that's where I can find my size) is a big no no - and I have tattoos - huge no no.
My list of no no's....hmmmm....people who let their bodies completely go to pot - usually the ones holding up all the cars behind them waiting for the parking spot up front so they don't have to walk those extra yards. People who smoke. People who sleep around.
What is the point of these threads - is it just so people can vent their dislike about a certain "type" of person?
Okay I'm done - and am apparently in a bad mood tonight. Just get tired of the people bashing in these forums sometimes.

Well said. Don't worry about other's opinions as long as you're happy with the decisions you've made.

I agree, sometimes I think it is more about venting than "Fashion and Beauty". I think it's a shame there's so much bias against Body Mods, but hopefully that will change soon.

Why isn't worth an opinion? Perfectly good piece of architecture, designed, built by craftsmen, and then some jerk tosses paint up on the walls!

Let's just say I'd fail an "art appreciation" course, because I have no appreciation for finger painting.

Each of my tattoos are beautiful pieces of art and I get many compliments on the two that show from people who think that they are stunning. Actually, only one person has ever told me that they didn't like my tattoos, yet she spent the entire night staring at them anyway.

I didn't get these tattoos to elicit approval from you or anyone else with such narrow minded attitudes. I got them because I wanted to and I don't need your approval or anyone else's. I love them and so does my man--that's all that matters to me. I love his tats as well.

BTW, I am a graduate student in Anthropology at a major four year University. My honey has a Ph.D. in Renaissance Literature--we're not making uneducated decisions to "mar" our bodies.
BRAVO!! Well said!

Take them out!!! I don't want to look at your nasty tounge!! Idiot!!
WOW now this is just what I was talkin about in the Seattle forum... How rude and judgemental WA people are! Sorry buddy but YOU just proved my point.

I think tattoos are a work or art. Some of them are pretty dumb and I wonder why the heck anyone would get them on their body, but some are in rememberence of a lost loved one, or something important to them. I say go for it if thats what you like or want for yourself! Let the haters keep hatin'! And piercings... eh some are pretty crazy but again if its what YOU like then thats what matters.

Oh by the way, I happen to have 2 tattoos and my ears pierced twice on one and three on the other! Oh and I also have my tongue pierced too!!!
