I've got pierced ears and tattoos. Lots of them. And I OC all the time. I bet that drives some of y'all batty huh?
I'm glad times have changed. Some of y'all just sound bitter. Lighten up. Let people live their lives and be happy.

To quote some of these fellas . . .

Hey, I truly don't care what y'all do with y'all's bodies. If you can afford it, and that's what floats your boat, then go head on, brother. It just holds no charms for me.

But I will say this...... I know that tattoos can be very expensive. I don't know what it costs to get a piercing, but if you get enough of them, it has to add up......and then there's the cost of the metal bits that will fill the piercings. Now, I don't really care if an otherwise self-sufficient person wants to ink and pierce his/her body. But if you're on the dole, you can't afford that stuff. If I'm ever made king of the world, I'm going to deduct the cost of tattoos and piercings from the aid checks, because I don't think the taxpayer ought to foot the bill for those things.......and too often, that's the case.

I'm not saying YOU guys are on the dole, but I have seen a LOT of welfare queens and gangbangers sporting tattoos that I doubt were paid for by honest jobs.

My 13-14 yr old son asked if he could pierce his ear. I told him sure, but since I was worried about the dangers of letting someone else do it, he would have to let me do it. He lit up with a big grin.

I told him to get a hammer and a finishing nail - be sure its a finishing nail cuz I just cant imagine the tissue damage that a big ole 16d would do....And While youre at it get a 2X4 block. What we will do is lay you on your back on the floor, and put the block under your ear lobe ....then I will whack the nail real hard so the pain wont be so bad...oh yeah, dont forget we will need a towel to catch all the blood! I then said, man, hmmmm, its gonna be tough trying to pull the nail out of the wood...

Hey, even if you're a dull, pasty skin, plain ole ordinary white person working at Dairy Queen, you can automatically assume cool person status if you get wildly tatted, punctured, hung with metal gadgets and let's not forget your ears with stuff engorged so big in them it's referred to as gauges. Man oh man, you are so cool.

Now, if you do all these things, no matter how talentless, or boring you are, you ARE cool. Remember that!

There are plenty of ways to be cool - let your hair grow long, dye your hair, shave off your hair, wear cool makeup, wear cool clothes, listen to cool music,
watch cool movies, hang out in cool places, talk to cool people, eat cool food and drink cool beverages.

The difference is that all of these "cool" things are totally reversible.
