Clearly people in this section like tattoos, have tattoos, and want an easy place to talk about it. But every once in a while people come here to attack tattoos and piercings--they say it will make you sterile, leads to drugs and pregnancy, makes you look trashy, or you will always regret your decision no matter what--and to generally convince everyone on here to not get tattoos and piercings by spreading lies and fanaticism.
I am not sterile, pregnant, on drugs, I don't look trashy and I sure don't hate myself for my actions. I am a decent person, my piercings do not make me any worse than you. Do any of these people stop to think that tattoos and piercings aren't always gotten for style or a fad--but a lot of these piercings and tattoos have a lot of meaning? Some do it to honor deceased loved ones, or proclaim a faith. I highly doubt those people will regret it, or are trashy, horrible people.

This question came after seeing some people just trying to convince everyone else on here to not get tattoos for false reasons. I know they're few and far apart, but still...if you're going to try and convince someone, why not try with the truth?

Goxy--I just find it odd when one person asks about getting a tattoo, then another tells them rampant lies and myths about tattooing. At least these poeple can express their views and use truth, not lies as scare tactics. I mean, what's the point?

Closed minded people always have something to say , most of the time it's negative and something they should shut up too. I have tattoos and some of my friends didn't know and talked about how trashy it is for chicks to have tattoos and everything. then i showed them mine and they were all oh yours are okay. i was all , just cuz you have tats doesn't make you trashy at all, i know and seen trashy people and they had not one tat or piercing on them. so there you go!!
I know people who have done drugs and never had tattoos, and i know people who have a lot of tats and never seen drugs, like i said closed minded people, are very judgmental and critical of others!

I totally agree. They shouldnt come here and rain on everyones parade just because THEY dont like tattoos and piercings. I personally absolutely adore piercings and tattoos. Not at all do you look trashy with them!
Oh & whoever said that piercings and tats leads to pregnancy was obviously very ignorant.

I've seen debates of all kinds in all sections, why would this one be an exception? Yes, people have different opinions and they have every right to express them. Some of them may have noble ideas, like enlightening other people or helping them, which is the concept of Y!A, right? Without proper variety of opinions and opposition in views, you can hardly make any sensible choices about things. We all need to hear both sides.
Expressing your reluctance to let others voice their views just shows that you yourself may need more open minded thinking. If you're positive about your set of values or choices in style&appearance, why are you bothered by someone else who doesn't agree with you? You're standing exactly where they're standing - because that's how their opposition started.
They are bothered by you and your opinions. Action and reaction.

I have read some of the answers here that you are talking about. It is just their opinion and ignorance. I don't let anyone influence my decisions when it comes to tattoos. It is a personal choice, as is religion and politics.
I hope they read your comments here and learn that opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one.

I'm with you 100%! I can't stand people that are so self-righteous. All kinds of people have tattoos nowadays. It's just a way to express yourself. They can't understand that though, because their way is the only way, and that's wrong!

Honestly, I don't know why they even
come into this section to answer.
They're not going to get any "points"
with the idiotic, ignorant answers.
They very obviously don't know what
they are talking about.
Maybe their Mommy's and Daddy's told them that it's not a good thing.
tsk, tsk, tsk,...........you'll go to hell.
LMAO

To hell with those people, I agree with you, if they don't like tacks, they can go somewhere else to rant about them.
