    I dislike piercings, and detest tattoos. I don't mind it when girls wear ear-rings (a bit of a double standard, but I can't manage to like it on guys). However, my (male) best friend has an ear piercing, and wants tattoos, but he's still my friend. I just think they are almost always aesthetically unpleasing, often vulgar, but it isn't my place to say what another person can or can't do with concerns to their own body. I would never date a guy with tattoos that show when wearing light clothes, and would dislike any small tattoos in discreet places too. Call me a conservative, but I don't like either.

    I don't have any. They don't really appeal to me, I wouldn't mind experimenting with ear piercing sometime in the future though, idk.

    I don't like tattoos at all, however I think guys with ears pierced look hot, I want to get mine done soon.

    No tats... yet. I always used to think they were pretty gross, but some guys make them look really hot. I am a lot more open to the idea of getting one than I used to be. But it is a major thing and if I do it I want to do it right.

    Right nipple pierced about 16 years ago, but had to take it out about 7 years back when it got badly infected while I was on holiday in Iran... not the sort of place I felt like going to a doctor about an inflamed nipple piercing. Got the left one done about 3 years ago. No plans for any more ... I have run out of nipples, LOL.

    I love tattoos and piercings on other people, just not excessively. Take Ronnie Radke and Oli Sykes for example. Over inked.

    However, on me, I kind of want to get a small ear piercing for a gauge or just an earring, but the irrational fear of heightened risk of Hepatitis scares me away from it. Talk about anxiety...

    I like both and have both. My ears are pierced 5 times total, I have snake bites, and two tattoos.

    My first tattoo is of my nickname in Japanese(It's spelled correctly, trust me)and I got it to commemorate being an "adult" at the age of 18 with my cousin. She got her name and I got mine, we were Zorn and Thorn from FF9 (Hardcore nerdcore) My other tattoo says "Bright Eyes" and that's my favorite band. I can't even begin to describe the connection I have with that music...Just <3

    I've had 14 piercings but lately took the majority out; was hard finding a job, had too many people say they looked over the top and something that once gave me confidence, did a u-turn and made me insecure.

    I still have 5 piercings though. I still have my scaffolding done (don't think I'll ever get rid of it, it was my first piercing and has a lot of sentiment attached to it at this point haha), my lobe and a sole helix survivor haha. Both my nipple piercings are still in too.

    I'm thinking of getting tattoos, but I keep putting it off... I don't really trust myself to like the tattoo in the future haha. If I do well in my A level results in August though, I'm 90% sure I'll get a tattoo to celebrate.
