this week I have seen a male with this hole in his ear with what I thought was a black polo mint in it and it just didnt look right not natural but hey it's what he chose so if schools or work establishments say they not to be worn then I agree but cover the hole up with a plaster

If the school rules state he can't have them in, then he can't have them in during school hours. End of. The rest of the time, I'd say do what you like.

I have 10 piercings and 3 tattoos, soon to be 4. I had to take some piercings out in work, not because of what other people would think, but because it was operating theatres and it was an infection risk as well as a safety risk. The chances of the visible ones coming into contact with a patient or falling into a wound were negligible but even a 0.001% risk is too much. I just put them back in at the end of my shift. Simple as.

I had to take the visible ones out in the Solicitors and for Court too. They were the rules so I abided by them.

Having the piercings and tattoos doesn't make me a bad person, or mean that I'm bad at my job - it just means I have additional bits. If you don't like them, don't have them.

i have tattoos on my arms and back, years ago you think tattoos = thugs, not so much now, depends on what you have done, i also have piercings, out of view of people, my grandad had tatts my dad did, i have, my kids will no doubt, they need to have meanings though, not just a drunkin trip to blackpool,

Jaci....Sorry to tell you this but...YOU ARE A BAD PERSON!!
Soz, no-one else on here had the bottle to tell you so they voted me to....!!

You went round everyone asking to be volunteered, you scoundrel

Does my arrse look like the face of concern You know the truth You only get away with it because I love ya, you know me and know I don't give a rats what people think about me Let them think what they like, it gives some other poor sod a break

If I was your son, I'd be ashamed of your use of the English language.

Caught out as usual!!

I know your not arsed baby, thats why i can get away with saying such stuff about you with my testicles intact!!!! XX

Does nobody else find this offensive? Because I certainly do. You're out of order with that totally uncalled for racist remark.

I fail to see anything derogatory?

Maybe mb2496 knows more "racist taunts" than we do Andy??

yep your right i love all cultures and religions
its just like tattoos,or perceing dosent matter you see it everywhere.

I agree Jabber.
All should take a good look at what happens when the body takes on a different shape. You might not imagine that it can ever happen to you, but oh yes it will! Sagging skin, everything goes south, stretched arms, and bellies, fat backsides, thick necks to name a few. How all things will look differently then. Bless!

There's most wrong with judging if you like something or not.

A lot of these extreme body arts are there to shock, so don't be surprised when people are shocked.
