I’m neither pierced nor tattooed.. am I a wrong ‘un in this day and age?

I remember when it was ‘alternative’ to have piercings or tattoos, nowadays it seems like you’re the odd one out if you don’t.

How marginal am I to have neither? Anyone else?

Those that do, how many do you have?

I share your sense of alienation. Don't have any and don't especially like them on others.

I've only one tattoo no piercing. I got the tattoo because I wanted to, granted it was before every tom,dick and Harry got them but do it because you want to not to fit in. My experience also says people only care if you do have either and not if you don't.

I don’t think you’re odd for not having any tattoos or piercings. Never actually seen anyone made to feel away for not having either. Feel it’s the other way round. But I don’t think so. I think it’s also great that it’s becoming more acceptable in society.

Don't you think they were edgier when they were less accepted though? And that was surely part of the attraction - inviting bourgeois judgement but putting two fingers up to conformity.

It just seems a trend nowadays and certainly very common on the swinging scene.

I mean I don’t really remember a time when they were not edgy. When I remember people around my age getting tattoos. So like ten years ago, it was usually some random persons name tattooed on someone’s arse cause they were d*unk in Maga and thought it’d be funny. More arsey than edgy.

Is it a trend or is it just more acceptable...I don’t know. Maybe it’s both. But I feel like these days people are getting more creative and original with their tattoo choices which I think is great. If you wanna be more edgy with it, pretty sure face tattoos still ruffle feathers.

I had at one point 6 facial piercings with a further 6 in my ears, and have 4 tats from when I was 17.

They don’t make me who I was, am or will be.

I also don’t feel part of a club for having them or view those without them any differently, as I wasn’t born with them.

Face tattoos are definitely still taboo in many parts of society but I think there's a strong psychological component to that because of the importance of the face in communication.

My OH makes up for both of us on the piercing front

His ears are done 3 times each side plus he has tunnels in both lobes

His frenum, both nipples, bell end, ball bag and that bit between the balls and his bumhole

He had a bar in his arm too, but that rejected

You're not marginal in the slightest.

I have no tattoos, nose pierced (but rarely wear it) and my ears pierced. That's it. It doesn't make me any more unique than those who have tattoos nor those who have no piercings at all.

I like them, but have neither.

I used to go to a lot of rock venues, and when I was younger I felt a little out of place, and thought about getting one many times. As I grew up, I realised in that situation 'not' having them made me more unique, to stand out from the crowd. Which is funny as I knew loads of people who got them young to rebel and stand out. Now they just blend in.

Don't give a fuck what others do or think about it. For everyone that likes them, they'll be someone who doesn't.

"I don’t think you’re odd for not having any tattoos or piercings. Never actually seen anyone made to feel away for not having either. Feel it’s the other way round. But I don’t think so. I think it’s also great that it’s becoming more acceptable in society.

Don't you think they were edgier when they were less accepted though? And that was surely part of the attraction - inviting bourgeois judgement but putting two fingers up to conformity.

It just seems a trend nowadays and certainly very common on the swinging scene.

I mean I don’t really remember a time when they were not edgy. When I remember people around my age getting tattoos. So like ten years ago, it was usually some random persons name tattooed on someone’s arse cause they were d*unk in Maga and thought it’d be funny. More arsey than edgy.

Is it a trend or is it just more acceptable...I don’t know. Maybe it’s both. But I feel like these days people are getting more creative and original with their tattoo choices which I think is great. If you wanna be more edgy with it, pretty sure face tattoos still ruffle feathers.

Face tattoos are definitely still taboo in many parts of society but I think there's a strong psychological component to that because of the importance of the face in communication."

Is it for attention? If you get a face tattoo, people are going to stir at it.

Is that why people get it done? Or maybe there is another reason.

I've wondered this, see my only tattoo with meaning is my sons name across my fingers, the rest are just because I wanted them, people have a hard time getting their head around some who's tattoos don't have a meaning

No tattoos - I have an addictive personality and would be bored with just one so wouldn't have been able to just have one.

Uaed to have three nose piercings but took them out quite a few years ago.

With 72 piercings, I'm probably the most pierced on here.

I don't do it to be cool or alternative or anything, I just do it because I love it.

I've no tattoos though. I love them and would love some but tattoos are way more of a commitment.

I recognise the social stigma around face, neck and other tattoos that aren't easily concealed.

I try to cure myself of it, personally. It's not my body, it's been a long time - possibly not even within my awareness (although I grew up in a pretty sheltered/ conservative milieu) - since tattoos could reasonably imply anything about anyone.

I have my nipple pierced...if I'm honest I had it done many years ago when it wasn't commonplace in a bid to be different from the herd. Now it's just kind of there and I never really think about it, aside from the odd occasion when I catch it on something!

I do have one small tattoo that I hate, thankfully it's on a part of my body that not many people see...I will be having it covered, but only when I can decide on something that I'm sure I won't feel the same way about in a few years time. I would prefer it if I'd never had it done.

I don’t have any and won’t be getting any either. No issues with a them, but just see it as a fashion trend.

When I was a kid only bikers, criminals, rock stars, sailors and other alternative living people had them. But now politicians to police officers have a tattoo so the uniqueness of them has been diluted in my opinion.

However if you have some and love them, all the power to you

I think they are both awful, most are like sheep following the crowd, be yourself and don't be afraid to be different.
