Piercings and Tattoos...

Well.... why do I like piercings and tattoos? Well... i dont know.. I just do. Tattoos to me are kind of like a Rite of Passage in life.. and as a form of self expression too... i have 21 tattoos myself.. and two piercings... of the 21 tattoos... 4 are pro... the rest are home made ones or ones done with antique guns i rebuilt and tested on myself..and as for my piercings.. i only have two so far... my tongue and my septum*the nose*. i got my tongue done in Barrie, Ontario.. and my septum done in Calgary, Alberta. I want to have my ear done now.. and maybe a few others... havent decided.. Tattoos are art... self expression.. and personal in nature.. The art of Tattooing has been around for thousands of years.. and even though it has... *mainstream* society still has a stigma against it... and even with that around the tattoo culture.. the tattoo *industry* is booming do to an opening market.. especially to the more open minded younger generation. Piering I feel still has a huge stigma against it by mainstream society.. and for that reason i think mainstream society needs to get its head out of its ass and wake up.. take a look.. try it out for themselves.... personaly.. i think tattoos and piercings on women are super sexy...*drools* hehehe... but even though piercings are becoming more widely accepted and less looked down upon... i think it is the one form or body art/modification that will alway be looked at with a frowning face by society. Until then.. people like me who are just really getting into it will probably be fighting for the "respect" of others on account of us being ourselves. ~sebastien blais~
