Oppinion on peircings

Youre absolutely right, I didnt think of that. Lots of people completely disfigure themselves and end up looking like monsters, even worse than Michael Jackson.

lol, you cannot cede this can you?

 

[Bozo Erectus]

Me? Cede what?

How about plastic surgury? That is pretty prevalent these days.

Kayak shoots... he SCORES!!!!

And sure some people come out of plastic surgery looking goofy, but I suspect that that is the fault of plastic surgeons as often as not.

The only thing I find comparable in the West is male circumcision. Another completely pointless and unnecessary ritual mutilation.

Actually I had it done for mediacal reasons when I was a young infant.

I can't stand them. And I'm completly turned off when I see a pretty girl messing up her face because some idiot told her to get a piercing, or because she read an article on 'how to become more individual'.

Your Honor, I present Exhibit A: "The Bride of Wildenstein"

I had it for religious reasons. Why, I dont know, its more of a Jewish than a Catholic thing. At least these days.

Ditto.

And as to your Exhibit A, the defense is willing to stipulate that there are cases of plastic surgery (and for that matter, piercings) gone hideously awry. But, you'll peek at the enlarged mammaries just as readily as I.

I'll only admit that in 'sidebar' discussions

You crazy Americans, with your crazy John-Thomas "haircuts"

And Mr Panda, your post makes me frustrated. Can't a girl get piercings because she wants one done, as opposed to because someone told her to/an article says that they're cool?

 

[slip79]

I second feline's motion.
All the women I know with piercings got them done because they wanted them (me included), not because it's cool and an article said to. There are just as many articles/trends telling you to get your piercings taken out because of the "harm" they cause as there are ones telling you to get them.

 

[I am the Future]

What they said^

People get piercing because of the personal taste. I find the fact that you are compleatly opposed to one of the most accepted kinds of body modification a sign of your narrow mindednes.

Do you not like braces because they make your mouth different then the way god made it?

I don't wear them anymore due to my job, but I used to have five ear piercings and a nose piercing.
I think there's no problem with it, as long as you keep them small (e.g. not inserting larger and larger plucks into your earlap) - when you decide to take the normal ones out, noone will hardly see them, so there's no harm done to your future...

I never liked the idea of metal being stuck in people's flesh, but I have no personal objection to anyone getting pierced. I just know I'm not getting a piercing.
