Ooo neat! Alrighty :3. If I get a tattoo (which I most likely won't), It'll be very small and on my lower back or ankle :3.  

Gauges are gross. Dont do that. Kthx  

I only like ear piercings on girls. Some guys can pull it off too though. I'd never get a piercing myself. Any other piercing I'm not really a fan of.

Nothing excessive either.

Human skin tissue is not a valid replacement for canvas and paper.  

Lip piercings are gross imo wtf y would u get that  

Tats>piercings

But it has to actually mean or stand for something.  

I think piercings look good if they are done tastefully, and a lot of girls I've seen look a lot hotter with piercings imo. Not so much on little dudes though, kinda looks a little gay in my opinion (if you are 400 lb of muscle piercings looks a little more intimidating). I have a bigger friend who put screws through his ears and he looks hard af with them. Personally though I wouldn't ever get a piercing, although I couldn't care less about whether or not anyone else does.

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.  

i dig 'em if they're done sparingly and tastefully

@ both piercings and ink

So art is a sign of weakness?

My badass Charmander begs to differ.  

anything but ear stretchers is okay makes you look like 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.

Sure, you could ask the question, "But they're so popular, why would they be insecure?" Well, my response would be, why did Robin Williams kill himself? Why are there so many famous people heavily abusing drugs, illegal, and legal?

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.

People that I consider strong are people that are willing to make sacrifices. People that have made the decision not to buy expensive clothes, or tattoos, or jewerly, because they want to use that money to help others, whether it be the homeless, people with illnesses, orphanages or whatever. Those are the people I consider strong, who sacrifice looking a certain way, or doing things for themselves in order to help others.

What if both sides of this argument can be true(depending on the person they're talking about)? Can it be possible? Nod your head up and down
