It has to be a chick-thing. A stupid-chick-thing!
I know some fellas that get into the ink… and I can sorta see that…. but the piercing just makes my skin crawl. Sometimes they put a big ring through their nose and all I can think of is this:
But… I suppose that is what comes when they get older, after they’ve hit the wall…
I've always thought it strange too. I remember a fad back in the early nineties when a lot of guys thought it cool to get their ear(s) pierced. Thought that silly as well. Guess I've been old fasioned for a long time.

Yep. Big bro did that. I thought it was gay but he thought it was cool… he outgrew it I guess.
DeleteThe Ubangi ears leave me in the dust...you know, stretching out the ear lobes to accommodate those big rings. I wonder if they whistle when they run.
ReplyDeleteNose rings and any other metal attached to your face can get real painful for you if you ever get in a fight...........
ReplyDeleteI use tattoos and piercings as direct evidence of their mental health. I'd never date a girl with more than a small tattoo somewhere unseen.
ReplyDeleteToday it seems like a right of passage with the young folks (under 45?) Girls getting the 'sleeve' of tattoos seems mandatory with lots of girls. Do they know those tattoos don't mean shit to anyone beside themself?
With the younger crowd - DEFINITELY. Nothing on a woman says “I am a slut…” better than tats. There’s exceptions of course, but they are the exceptions.
DeleteEspecially the tramp stamps. And especially the ones that are some geometric design like on the tailgate of a truck. "Let's see, what is going to turn him on while he is takin care of business back there? ...
DeleteSir, that ring is a sign that they are in the market for soy-boys who they can slap around and control. It repells you BY DESIGN. Guys like you and me are not on their shopping list.
ReplyDeleteYep, I’ve seen a lot of that too. Especially with the younger crowd.
DeleteShopping list? My sell-by date was back in 1936. I'm in the recycle bin, waiting for some green thing to make me usable again.
DeleteI think you are in the wrong bin, Jack. Shouldn't you be in the compost with me...?
DeleteI likes the ink, to a point but it can be over done and sadly often is. I have never liked piercings but will gladly over look 1 or 2 as long as one of them is in the tongue.
ReplyDeleteThat is already TMI, PP. Be careful or you will end up being a perv like Quartermain... ;)
DeleteEver notice those who are attracted to the body covering tats and metal piercings are more likely to be into drugs than your average natural, untouched skin Eagle scout? Evidently the lack of self esteem might be a strong factor for the adornment.
ReplyDeletemy mother used to say,, the last thing you need is another hole in your head.
ReplyDeleteAt least the hog's ring has a purpose. Keeps them from rooting under the fence line, and they won't argue with a lead attached to one.
ReplyDeleteAnd most I've seen tatted up or pierced are fugly to begin with.
ReplyDeleteIt's like; "All I've got is repulsive, so let's go all in!"

I just wish I would be around when the age and sag sets in to here them piss, moan, and bitch about why did they do it. Don't forget the man buns, that's who these kinds are looking for.
ReplyDeleteIn my last job I worked with a girl in her early 30s, just hitting the wall. She had the tats and ring through her nose and was just beginning to chub out. It's weird but I felt very sorry for her. She was a good kid at heart.
