Or in this case, the eyebrow.

Thrudd:
The good lord, she designed this body with a set of specifications on what goes where and how. [or that is how the doctrine goes]
As with anything else there are manufacturing defects we have to deal with that are enough trouble as it is.
I ask why anyone would want to go with aftermarket modifications.

Seriously though, all joking aside, I ask why do so without diligent market research beforehand.

The liberal application of alcohol seems to be a deciding factor on sober regrets afterwards.
If you mod your house or your car or your PC without thinking things through you more times than not get a unpleasant surprise, but you can rebuild or replace those, your body, not so much.

[Hanners might have something in the works though]

Mind you I have seen a few examples of good body art but those are outnumbered by the number of barbed wire armlets, butterfly butts, Chinese Characters [they don't mean what you think they mean]  :psyduck: etc etc etc

Yes I did inadvertently give a tissue to someone who I thought had the sniffles  :? ..... it was a small enameled nose ring ..... It got changed to a gold stud soon after I hear.

Barmymoo:
As has been said elsewhere, very few reputable tattoo artists or piercers will work on someone who is drunk. I'm all in favour of people choosing not to have body mods if they don't want to - but it is none of anyone else's business if someone wants to get a tattoo or piercing that someone else doesn't approve of. It's almost the only behaviour which doesn't in any way harm anyone else at all (the only possible exception to this is if someone gets extremely offensive slogans or symbols tattooed onto them).

The large number of drunken tattoo stories out there doesn't really make that point comforting. No one I can recall here has said anything close to disapproving meddling. Most human behaviors affect no one else most of the time.

Emperor Norton:
I would have thought that a forum that tries to be as accepting as this one wouldn't be so judgmental towards a person choosing to get tattoos and piercings.

I mean, I personally have neither, though I've considered tattoos, but I certainly don't look at anyone else and say "Man, why would they mess up their body with that." Their body, their choice.

Though I do usually have a thing about being wary of getting anything that can't be taken out or hidden by sleeves if you plan to go into a white collar field. So yeah, just be sure you never want to try to get an office job if you are going to do some of the crazier gauges or tattoos on the hands/neck/face.

Also big on putting real thought into any tattoos, you are stuck with them, so you want to make sure you choose well.
