Re: Tats- possibly a bit much
amazing tattoos, but yeah... my first reaction is "ouch - needles to your eyelids?!" and my second is "it's not going to look as good when you're a flabby middle-aged man... and you can't peel them off!"
Kind of limits his work possibilities too, no? "Oh, yes, I'm looking for a job in sales... customer services? Working with children? Hospital porter? No?"

For some people being different is more important than living a productive and harmonious life as part of a wider society it seems.

have you seen the UV tattoos?! OMG! Completely invisible in normal light, but with UV, they (obviously) light up. Perfect! I can now be the closet rebel I've always wanted to be!

Re: Tats- possibly a bit much
cool. I can see a practical use for this - fit a UV light in the bathroom which would save on having to put the big lights on when taking a piss in the night.

No, but sounds interesting. I wanted a vampire bat above my breast when I was a youngen, but couldn't bear the thought of what it would look like in twenty years time......can't bear the thought of standing under a UV light these days either, don't fancy seeing what lurks under my makeup.

Re: Tats- possibly a bit much
out of interest, what do you think about belly button piercings, in particular on a 13 year old?

Re: Tats- possibly a bit much
As I read it, it was a two part question
- The general concept of belly button piercings
- If it's appropriate for a 13 yr old.
I don't think they are appropriate at all, let alone on a child. Why are you referring to IQ?

My girls don't even have their ears pierced. They ask every now and then but at least I have the excuse that they can't wear them for ballet exams and performances (though they have now found out about clear plastic studs being allowed for exams). Also fortunate that most private schools here only allow one set of ear piercings and no body or face piercings. I wouldn't allow my 13 year old to pierce her naval, apart from looking like trash, the risk of infection is too great.

Re: Tats- possibly a bit much
Tattoos and piercings are very much and adult decision i feel.
I didn't get my ears done until I was 16- my sister got hers done when we were little and screamed so much I chickened out lol.
I did have a tongue piercing when I finished school but took it out half way through university as I personally felt it wasn't professional, but i'm not adverse to piercings in general.
I also have just got my second tattoo, but again for professional reasons they are both on my feet/ankle- areas that are covered at work. But i haven't ruled out a 3rd tat in the future- they are addictive!
