Sorry, Luv, you aren't going to any huge party in any place called "hell". I know it's very disappointing, but, honestly, there really isn't any eternal torture pit where you and your buds can kick back and enjoy the hot tub.
What is more likely to happen to you, is that you, along with other harmful things, such as disease, hatred, discrimination, greed, violence, and of course, death and the grave, is that you will be tossed into the incinerator (a.k.a. "The Lake of Fire"), where you will become a rapidly disappearing grease spot. This is the "Second Death"......."winks" ;-/
If I were you, before I just arbitrarily decided that "God doesn't like that stuff", I'd talk it over with Him. You'd be surprised at how tolerant and understanding He actually is. I really don't think some tats and peircings are gonna get you shut out (although, personally, I vote we toss punk rock into the incinerator with the rest of the trash, but hey, I'm not in charge)....
It's your attitude more than your life-style that is harmful. Why not try a little love? It's lots more fun!!

I am a Christian, I have had 2 tattoos, 8 piercings, and listen to heavy metal and industrial. But those things do not affect my salvation.
It is because I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior, have given my life to Him, repented and asked forgiveness of my sins, and became born-again, that I am saved.
And trust me... Hell isn't gonna be one big BBQ. Experience hell just a little bit here on earth : gouge out both your eyes... set yourself on fire, until you receive 3rd degree burns, and then extinguish yourself and do it again... sit in an overheated sauna, but you are forbidden to drink anything... spend years in complete solitude, without the company of another person. Think of all times you got screwed over, and then multiply the feeling ten-fold for every time you screwed someone else over... Think about the love you have for the closest person to you (be it your best friend, your significant other, a family member, a beloved pet), and imagine what it would feel like if they died in your arms, and mourn them day in and day out during your solitude... allow maggots to infest your skin... and imagine each second of your pain like this lasts a lifetime... intensified infinitely... and unending without a moment's rest.
That is hell.
A few tattoos, piercings, and music tastes are not going to damn you. Only your rejection of Christ, and your lack of repentance or forgiveness for sins (that is, never changing your ways about lying, hating, stealing, lusting, etc) will damn you.

Well, I have two tattoos and am contemplating a third. My aunt even got upset at my brother and I, who both wear our late father's racecar number, and told us we had "made a marking for the dead."
And I love hip-hop and another woman, which will probably make me a candidate. *winks back*
I know a *lot* of awesome vegetarian barbecue dishes.

Me too. I'm going, according to many YA xians. I have only one tatoo so far, and no unusual piercings. But I LOVE to blaspheme like it's nobody's business, have dabbled in witchcraft, numerology, tarot, ouija boards, naughty sexual things, and I'm told "god" doesn't like those either. Picky, picky, picky I wouldn't want to go to a heaven full of prudes, with an anal retentive leader. No thanks.

Hi, Like it or not - You're going to heaven.
I'm not into punk rock or tatoos (too chicken), but I think it's neat that some people are.
You make the world interesting and will be rewarded for it. Jesus was a big time non-conformist and bucked the establishment.

One goes to hell for the rejection of God not what they wear or the music they listen

Where you're headed is your decision.
I am not in a position to judge that.

Jesus died and rose from the grave so you wouldn't have to go there.
No, I'm not going with you.
