Tatoos are and always have been and will be a unique body manipulation. They may be a generic form or an entire body layout of someones life. It depends on what they choose. I say they because I am not really the type suited for one. I think that they are an amazing way to express ones self and have no judgement what-so-ever on people with them I have just chose not to get one as of now. They may be in my future but never something as simple as a tribal design because I would require creativity in order to do something so permanent. The fact that most of them are life-lasting is one of the biggest draw backs for me. I avoid things that would possibly bring remorse because regret is something i think everyone should try to live without if possible. I have heard of a new tatoo ink that can be removed with a certain type of light making it not permant which would be interesting and entreguing for me to look into. But with that you also have issues with quality because sunlight would also destroy its appearance and I'm very outdoor oriented so sun is something I deal with alot. Theres also the fact of how so many people have them, not the same one but the general idea. None the less I love the history, designs, significance, appearance, and all that go with tatoos.
Piercings are a whole nother story and ball game. They are nearly as permanent in some locations which is again a draw back for me because those are some of the only places I would concider getting one. Another large issue I would have is that with my dad and all of my community where I was raised aren't really accepting of that sort of thing. That wouldn't stop me because i believe in being yourself no matter what but its just a factor. I don't think that piercings are as unique as tats but at the same time a flashy touch that works for some people.

I am totally with you on tattoos. I would get one if i had somthing meaningful, that i would never regret. I just don't have the desire to "search" for somthing like that. Maybe if something happens that i feel like i should put on my skin. But as of now i have nothing that i would want to put on me forever. I do have a lot of piercings, but i have taken alot of them out recently because i feel like i had too many. i went from 12 to 6!!! So i took half of them out! Wow, i just realized that! lol!
Even with normal tattoos, sunlight isn't good for them.
That temporary stuff though I think is absolutely retarded. The whole point of a tattoo is that it isn’t going to go away. I say if you’re so sure about such a thing, then you’re going to have to live with it whether you want to or not. I think it goes back to being held responsible for your actions, people don’t want to be. I could rant and rave about it until I am blue in the face, but that would be getting off the subject.
