I don't have any tattoos and at the moment I don't have any piercings (I did in college and may again as soon as Friday), but other than smallish stretched ears (which can be disguised) I don't plan on getting any other piercings or any tattoos that can't be covered by clothing for that exact reason. I wouldn't tell anyone else not to, though.
mtmerrick:
piercings aren't my thing, but i'm not against them. however, i do plan on eventually getting sub-dermal implants (things like neodymium implants, not like horns or something)
i am not against piercings, but i only find certain ones done in certain ways attractive (and never too many!)
i would love to have a tattoo, but i'm so goddamn indecisive i have no idea what i would get and would probably regret something i did get shortly after i got it.
i find many tattoos gaudy as hell, but well done ones are quite attractive.

Me too, actually, especially since our host has both. I come from a cultural background that is quite hostile to body mods generally, but I think it's best not to condemn other people's choices in this. In the interests of full disclosure, I suppose I should say that I have "vanilla" pierced ears (I don't know the correct term for one small hole in each ear-lobe), but I don't remember any particular emotional reaction to the piercing, other than satisfaction that I could wear a wider range of earrings.
Welu:

I was thinking this as well but couldn't think of a good way to say it. Particularly statements saying modifications "ruin" your body or to that effect? That's obviously not the perspective of people who get them or admire them from a distance.
I think this is a great Facebook page for showing and promoting tattoo acceptance in workplaces. https://www.facebook.com/TattooedAndEmployed
