Tattoo or Piercing?

Farrah Whitworth-Rahn · 07-28-2006, 10:16 AM

The She-Rahn is turning 30 in September.

To mark this momentous occassion I have been contemplating getting a tattoo or getting something pierced. Inspired by MacroGuru's new tat thread, I thought I would see what all you FOFC folks think. Should I get a tattoo? A piercing? Both? And where?

I currently only have my ears pierced. I don't have any tattoos. And unfortunately, my profession frowns upon visible intentional body mutilations so everything must be restricted to my torso.

So what do you think?

st.cronin · 07-28-2006, 10:19 AM

Tattoos on women? No way.

Piercings on women? Way.

A tat is more permanent but IMO means much more and is much more customizable. If you have something specific in mind I say get the tat.

Schmidty · 07-28-2006, 10:42 AM

I dislike tatoos intensely, and I don't like "wierd" piercings. I voted neither, but a belly button piercing wouldn't be so bad.

What does Arlie think?

yes, because nothing marks the march into adulthood like a belly button ring.

Eaglesfan27 · 07-28-2006, 10:51 AM

I don't think you need either. 30 is just another number. However, if I was picking between the two I would say a Piercing.

Damned straight.

MJ4H · 07-28-2006, 11:05 AM

I personally do not like either tattoos or piercings. I dislike the former far more than the latter, though (to the point of being a deal-breaker, in fact).

Flasch186 · 07-28-2006, 11:25 AM

Clitoris piercing, Arles?

sabotai · 07-28-2006, 11:42 AM

If you're going to have a mid-life crisis, you might as well go all the way. Get lots of both.

I really hope 30 isn't considered a mid life crisis.

Maybe you should get something with your and your kids birthdays?

I see "mid life crisis" as more to do with mentality and behaivor, regardless of the actual age of the person.

Hurst2112 · 07-28-2006, 11:58 AM

tats or piercings won't make you any cooler. I don't have any and I bleed 'cool'

30 is nothing...don't fall into that category of trying to stay young.

Oilers9911 · 07-28-2006, 12:14 PM

Yuck to both tattoos and piercings. Especially tattoos on women. Nothing is a bigger turn off than seeing an attractive woman and then seeing a hideous tattoo on her back or leg.

Lorena · 07-28-2006, 12:15 PM

Age is just a number, IMO. I just turned 32 and I don't feel a day over 24. Midlife crisis? Nah.

Oh, I said piercings. Unless it's gonna be a small tat in a tactful area, it's cool. No "chola" tats though, that's so unsexy.

How about a nipple piercing?

Dear lord, NOOOOOOOO!!!

The female breast is the most beautiful thing I can think of. Desecrating them with tatoos or piercings should be a crime.

Yes on no to both.

And I think seeing an unattractive woman and then a hideous tattoo or piercing is even worse.

Lorena · 07-28-2006, 12:28 PM

I can't think of any other area to pierce other than the ear. The nose? Tongue? Lip?

Having a piercing on any of these areas in a corporate environment is a no-no and that's why I mentioned nipple.

rkmsuf · 07-28-2006, 12:29 PM

Be different. Pierce your ass.

I mentioned my disdain for it because it's one of the sluttiest, sleaziest things a woman could do.

Snatch and tit piercings are laughable.

Ryche · 07-28-2006, 12:32 PM

Belly button only if you have a stomach you like to show off. Pointless otherwise.

Tattoos are fine as long as they are placed to be easily hidden.

Draft Dodger · 07-28-2006, 12:35 PM

get a tat. a little one, maybe on the back of your shoulder, maybe just a little above the belt line. or your ass. very sexy.

don't get a tramp stamp on your back. too played out.

Agreed completely. My bosses would wet their pants if I came in with a nose ring. I'm considering a nipple piercing or the belly button. But like Rizon said, I'm not sure I have the stomach to show it off.

He is very much anti-nipple piercings. But, I was very much anti-kids until I got pregnant. I think he might change his mind if it's done the right way.

And don't get all cute and suggest a clit tat, that's just gross.

Please don't take what I'm about to say the wrong way - you asked for opinions, so I'll give you mine.

I think disregarding your husband's opinion on this is a major mistake. Personally, I find pierced nipples to be suggestive of a certain type of woman, and my wife doesn't fit that mold. Is it her body and can she do what she wants with it? Sure. But every time I see that nipple ring I'm going to mentally wrinkle my nose in disgust because of my personal sentiments about it.

I take it you would feel comfortable with Arlie getting something/anything of his own? Say, a mohawk?

Arles · 07-28-2006, 01:43 PM

WSUCougar is a wise man

Not a big piercing fan, but I guess I could handle a tatoo. Of course, I keep telling her should could actually try to be "original" and not have any tatoo's or piercings (outside of her ears). If she sticks to that, she may end up being the only girl under 40 I know that doesn't have one of the above.

Greyroofoo · 07-28-2006, 01:46 PM

I hate tatoos and/or piercings on anybody
