Dear people with tunnel earrings, tattoos, and facial piercings

[HamburgerBoy]

I like to see tattoos and piercings on porn stars. It tells me that they willingly spend money to abuse their bodies, so therefore I should feel no moral qualms in masturbating to the abuse doled out on the set. That is attractive to me.

 

[AyashiKaibutsu]

Some of you should really consider reading my posts instead of blabbing on about stupid shit I never said. Let's give it a rundown, shall we?

- I don't give 2 fucks what people look like. In fact, I value people who have something new to offer me as far as appearance goes and consider a person with a dildo strapped to their chin to be of more value than a hipster with tattoos and tunnel plugs. *Your argument about me raging or hating people because of the way they look has already fallen apart.

- I was making an observation based on what these people actually say. An overwhelming majority won't explain their actions like you've reasoned above -- joining a particular crowd or a fashion statement (that's what it is), but rather state that it's a personal choice. Somehow, all of these personal choices ended up being the same. Funny how that works...

- Body modification is fucking retarded and gets exponentially more retarded and stupid looking as it gets more extreme. For somebody like myself, and apparently a whole lot of other people, it's just a way of saying "Look at me!! For fuck's sake, please look at me!!!" Do you have anything else to offer other than your appearance that nobody should give 2 fucks about? No? Didn't think so.

- You don't go nuts with tattoos and piercings for yourself but for other people. You can say you like it and that it's for you, but the reality is that everyone else will look and notice it more than you ever will. Branding yourself then brandishing those brandings on the outside of your body only to claim that it's a personal decision that isn't influenced by other people's opinion is just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

- I've also admitted that it's not entirely about these idiots but also other idiots; those who spend money on the exterior of their cars or buy expensive jewelry I'd throw in the same boat. I encounter the hipster d-bags more often than the others so that's why I singled them out for the rant. Bear in mind that body modification isn't exactly easy to get rid of / return to its original state, thus you can make the argument that it's much more stupid.

Ignorant or bigoted I am not . I've quite clearly thought about this and I've treated them the same way as I'd like to be treated myself and will continue doing so -- in fact I actually mentioned that in my prior posts but it seems some of you just want to get a word in and announce your stupidity. Although I appreciate that you want the rest of us to know you're idiotic, the unfortunate side effect is that you seem to be attracting more idiots wishing to do the same. Before you know it it'll be a thread full of douchebags without reading skills who can't wait to post but hate to read and it's ended up in P&N. Therefore I've collected my thoughts and ideas into a neat little post you dumbasses can read and reference before going apeshit over what you're pretending I actually said in order for your argument to have a leg to stand on.

Where the fuck is my trophy?

Blah blah blah. You completely miss that it is a personal choice regardless of what others do. Do you seriously think they aren't aware other people are doing it too (that's the only way what you're saying could make any sense)? You're so self-centered that you've convinced yourself that whatever anyone else does it just has to be about you. There's just no way it's about them or anyone else. Please, there's never been someone that needed to get over themselves more than you. You're a complete idiot full of a lot of wind not worth a full response.

If it were truly an uninfluenced personal decision than tattoos and piercings of the same sort wouldn't be so damn common. Instead, what you see is people that hang out together also look the same yet they claim that it's a personal decision. It's not. This isn't exactly a startling revelation either, but that's my point...

Why not just admit it? Why claim that it's a personal expression of creativity (or insert reason here) instead of just stating that you think it looks nice on you? There's a million different ways to express yourself that are truly unique yet seemingly everyone picks the same damn route and you've got the cahones to tell me it's a personal decision/choice?

And I'm the one that's ignorant?

It's only personal insofar as that every one of them looks the same and goes out of their way to look the same. That isn't personal, unique or creative.

What does originality have to do with choice?

 

[HeXen]

....behaviors......adults........just like kids in high school.

On a different note, anyone ever notice the differences in responses from people in forums vs in person with someone despite the same subject? I think the contributing factor is text vs visual and auditory communications. Anonymity of course plays a large part in regards to the name calling, but i think its really because communication via text only is not our natural behavior of communicating to one another. We communicate with our faces, body language along with tone and many other subtle auditory cues.

For instance. OP had an opinion, the text was clear, not unlike that's been discussed in person to person at work or wherever except in this case it is blunter and lacks tone, facial expression..etc...then responses are either simple agree to complete immature negativity along with childish name calling...etc. "you're a complete idiot" ...lmao. i can't help but chuckle. But i do enjoy the virtual ego's and how so many here like to jump on a bandwagon so they all can make themselves feel better and part of a group

 

[pelov]

What does originality have to do with choice?

It has everything to do with personal choice. There are a billion different ways to express oneself and a million different ways to express oneself outwardly yet seemingly everyone seems to have personally chosen the same route.

That's not personal. That's a fashion trend.

Again, there's nothing wrong with a fashion trend but let's at least call a spade a spade.

 

[KMFJD]

You're not special, creative, unique or even interesting. You all try hard to be very different and in typical stupidity end up looking the same. I can't remember the last time an idiot with an earring wide enough for me to stick my penis through presented to me an interesting thought-provoking idea or statement. In fact, if you actually had something to contribute you probably wouldn't go so far out of your way to stand out by your looks but rather the merit and substance of your ideas.

/rantoff

All i got out of that is that op has a very small penis

One choices what trends they follow. It's still a choice. So what? You're such an self-centered idiot that it all goes right over your head. That they're doing nothing different than what anyone else in the world is doing in regards to how they make they're choices but you rage against them for what they choose and yet claim you rage against them for how they choose it just makes you look all the dumber.

 

[rockfella79]

1-2 are fine, some people loose themselves in their tattos. That's odd.

 

[pelov]

How did it go right over my head when I've stated this like ten times in this thread? You're arguing with me because you agree with me?

That they're doing nothing different than what anyone else in the world is doing in regards to how they make they're choices but you rage against them for what they choose and yet claim you rage against them for how they choose it just makes you look all the dumber.

My point is that they're claiming it's different and you've -- with some others -- done wonders in proving just that because you said it yourself:

You completely miss that it is a personal choice regardless of what others do

Again you don't. You seem to think it *impossible* for someone to do something that is outwardly visible just because they like it and I claim you are wrong. You are claiming to know what people are thinking when they do things and I'm claiming you can't possibly know that.

Who cares. Whatever reason someone wants a tattoo/piercing or where they want it is really a non-issue. I'm sure some do it for shock factor but I guarantee the majority did it because they liked the way it looked and don't care if others like it or not.

People will say it's personal, get backed into a wall with sense and logic and say, "So what if it's not?" I've been quite clear

I'm not looking at it on that level. I see it as a fashion trend. Some people wear Armani suits and drive fancy cars while others poke a bolt through their face. What ties them together is that they're doing it for the attention and to suggest otherwise is disingenuous. So how about we all start speaking honestly? That's all I want. Just cut out the "it's a personal choice" bullshit because it's not nor has it ever been.

The only personal choice is to choose which crowd you'd like to fit in with. And when there's so many of the same type...

You're not special, creative, unique or even interesting.

 

[marvdmartian]

Dude, I have no idea what you're talking about!

Here, talk to my dad, and explain it to him!

 

[olds]

I'll be honest.
When I see people with tattoos, piercings/tunnels or colorful hair, the first thing I think is: "What a fucking, worthless freak."
But I do give them the benefit of the doubt if they show me otherwise. I am not a hardcore bigot.

 

[pelov]

^^ that's personal choice!

Only one person is creative, unique and different and on his own accord.

 

[NiceCold]

im ok with hardcore pircers and tattoos-er.

whats laughable is teens who thinks its cool just because of the trend. back when i was about 14,15 and my cousins at my age range all pierce their ears with both sides! except for me! i dont go by the trend cause i think ear piercing sucks for male.

if i want jewlry in my body i would sport a gold ring on my finger. not girly ears!


question:
i dont want to make a thread just for this. who can answer? does starbucks have "black mountain" coffee? someone says black mountain coffee at starbucks but i never heard of it. i look at menu and its not there.

i only heard of blue mountain coffee which is very high quality jamaica mountain coffee. kona is the second best coffee and blue mountain is the #$1 coffee in the world of coffee.

so whats black mountain coffee? in starbucks?

Look no one gives a shit about you and what you think. This fantasy thought construct you've come up with to justify how them getting piercings is all about you is simply all in your head. Most people are like you only not quite to such a comical extreme. They're self-centered and care about themselves. That people make a lifestyle/fashion choice to have crazy piercings that aren't totally unique to only them and no one else in the world is irrelevant to their choice to do it; the only place it is is your fantasy land in your head where they're doing it to fuck with you.

 

[pelov]

- you're arguing with yourself as I never said that my opinion dictates all. I just want to make some sense of it hence the rant and the thread. The notion that it's a "personal choice" is wrong. It isn't. Stating that it is then providing no reason as to why you believe it is is being ignorant.

See what I did there?

If you want mine I believe I've stated it a good 6 or 7 times by now

That people make a lifestyle/fashion choice to have crazy piercings that aren't totally unique to only them and no one else in the world is irrelevant to their choice to do it

Stating something over and over again doesn't make it true. I've already explained why that's a fallacy. Your turn. That's how arguments and discussions work, btw. One person explains their side and the other then explains why they don't believe that to be the case. All you've been doing is deflecting then calling me a poopooface with absolutely zero explanation as to why my opinion is wrong and yours is correct.

I'm not a poopooface. You're a poopooface.

 

[Ronstang]

Some of you guys are way to opinionated for your own good.
Must be the cool thing to do now.

And no. I don't have any tattoos or piercings.

You are right I am opinionated but then again I have had almost 50 years to form those opinions. I have seen a lot and with that comes opinions. I pretty much agree with the OP but tats don't bother me as much as they used to. You may not like my opinions but you have to remember that people my age are the ones that have all the jobs to offer.....and if you are a guy with an earring like the OP is talking about you are not getting one from me. My only fear is I would start laughing out loud at a douche wearing those stupid things.

 

[randomrogue]

I think people are entitled to do what they want with their bodies. Except that chick with the hole in her mouth. That makes my stomach curl. Just accept the consequences of your actions.

I think you should think long and hard though about what you do to your body since it sends messages to those around you. Especially if you're single. As an example I am turned off by women who have tramp stamps, smoke cigarettes, and there's probably no way I could fuck one with 1 inch holes in her ears. I just don't find it attractive. So as long as you're comfortable limiting yourself in the dating pool to people who smoke, have weird piercings, and like to get tattoos marking the spot dudes should cum by all means go ahead. I think somewhere inside of me I associate a blatant disrespect for oneself with those things and am just turned off by it. Kinda like seeing a woman with cut scars all over her arms and legs. It just screams "I have issues".

 

[Howard]

I generally see these people and immediately think to myself "Have fun with life!". I have a tattoo, several of my friends are tattooed, pierced, etc. I don't know what it is, I just see people like this and think "Fail".

Especially lip pierced people. I have yet to meet one that doesn't talk funny because of it and doesn't slobber when talking.

To each their own I guess.



I don't know what that guy was thinking. That's kinda vomit inducing.

I thought that was a girl!

 

[Howard]

I like to see tattoos and piercings on porn stars. It tells me that they willingly spend money to abuse their bodies, so therefore I should feel no moral qualms in masturbating to the abuse doled out on the set. That is attractive to me.

Your viewpoint is refreshing.

 

[lupi]

Or a window

That has to be extra gross while she is eating food.

WTF!

 

[lupi]

so much lulz here.

It's not nice to hijack threads. Start your own. :\
