Tattoos and Piercings

12/23/2014

Dear Mongoose,
After reading your response to the reader referring to adults not dressing age appropriately, it got me thinking. What is the infatuation with tattoos and piercings these days?  I feel as if I'm in the minority since I have neither.  I am anxiously awaiting your response.

Dear Perturbed Prude,

Different is good, good is different. Tattoos and piercings have been around for 1,000's of years, within the last 50-75 years I would surmise the reason one would get all tatted up or stick a metal object through their skin is to rebel against society or to express individuality. Funny thing, if you want to stand out nowadays, a non ferrous, natural flesh colored arm, leg or neck, complete with natural body hair is sure to make a statement. I think I'll go as myself for Halloween next year, apparently "Insecure-Tattoo'd-Tough-Guy" is no longer a costume...it's real life.



Merry Christmas,
Mongoose
