    I had a wet shave yesterday. Won't bother shaving today!

    I do.

    I know many people with tattoos, but I always think it displays something of a lack of judgement to have them.

    Same with extreme body piercings and wearing loads of bling jewelry.


    I meant in terms of them being acceptable in society, not anyone personally.

    I read recently that the only place that they're still a no-no is The City - other than that, most places have relaxed their policies.

    I have four discrete tats myself, only one of which is visible in a t-shirt - Susan Tedeschi's signature on the inner of my left forearm.

    I too don't like body piercings and the facial ones are getting silly now.
    I find it refreshing when a girl DOESN'T have either her tongue or belly pierced.
    Also, I don't like sleeves on anyone - I just think they're too much, though not as bad as those utterly ridiculous expander ear-rings. WTF is that all about ?
    I've been to Africa and seen the real thing and it's cultural. Don't do it just to be "rad, dude" ..

    There's a fella where I work with a tattooed head - it's basically a blue-black face and skull, there's no actual definition to any of the designs - and his ear lobes have actually been expanded so much they just snapped and now hang loose, about two inches long each of them

    not big on tattoo's myself but on men, the odd one for a good reason is ok. dont like them on women. as for body piercing, or face, its naff.
    Feel a lot of folk get lots of tattoos because they feel its their only voice. disenfranchised I guess is the word. so a protest, although they may not realise it.

    That says it all really. I did mention 'lack of judgement'. Now he needs to find a few grand to get his ears surgically sorted (should he bother).

    Why do we (others anyway) need to 'personalise' our bodies with varying degrees of embellishment? To be different? We are each and all different anyway.

    Reminds me of a club we had down here called The Network, which was kinda like an indie, gothy type of place.

    All these kids dressed in black would traipse down there on a Friday or Saturday night to mosh to Slipknot or The Sisters Of Mercy or whatever.
    They really stood out as they walked through town, the boys invariably in full-length leather duster coats and the girls in flouncy skirts, ripped fishnets and corsets, both sexes pale as ghosts with eyeliner only serving to emphasise how "different" they were to the sheep wearing normal clothes ..

    .. till they got to the club, where everyone was dressed like that

    Bit like American bikers then (and 'born again' British oldies).

    They have bikes customised chopper style and wear the leather trousers or oily jeans with big boots, leather jacket with cut off denim on top and all end up looking the same!

    I have nothing against individuality. This is me having a breather outside the church after attending a christening recently.
