Besides the obvious fact that The Rock is neither insecure or weak, you should probably note that both tattoos and piercings have cultural roots, it's not just something that a bunch of punk teenagers do to look cool or fit in, in some cultures they are markings of Gods. Piercings go the same way, tons of Native American/Meso-American/ African Cultures had full body piercings.

Tattoos or Body piercings are not a sign of weakness, they can have cultural ties, can be expressions of art/creativity, or symbols held close to a persons heart. If you think any of that is a sign of weakness you are an idiot.

So someones an idiot just because they don't have the same exact views as you? I am just expressing my religious belief, and for you to call me an idiot for standing firm in my belief, well I suppose I can't stop you from exercising your bigotry.

My personal opinion, and this is just my opinion… The Rock is a poor example. You know he has struggled with depression throughout his life? (article) Just because the rock has muscles does not make him strong on the inside. You are focusing on outside appearance. Here is a question for you, why does any person pursue any type of career in Hollywood? Including the rock and every famous person? It's because they want to be idolized. Why does a person want to be idolized? Because they're insecure. Why are the insecure? Because they're weak.

My personal belief is tattoos and things of that nature, when you get down to the bottom line, it's to draw attention to oneself. And if you need something to draw attention to yourself, its because you don't feel comfortable in your own skin.
