I think people who want to wear piercings and tattoos should be allowed and accepted for that. After all, it's your own body and you're the only one who gots the right to do something with it. Many piercings do also have a cultural meaning which most of the people just don't realize. I have a lot of friends with piercings and tattoos (most of them self-designed their tattoos) and I like them as they are. I don't quit a friendship just because they change their look, that'd be just silly and ignorant. I know that nowadays the prejudgement of people wearing tattoos and piercings is horrible and most of the people who judge others by their appearance have a small mind tbh. I don't want a piercing, but I'm looking forward to get a tattoo for myself.
