Mind if i ask why mate? i can assure you we don't bite
I bet you human resources hired her cause they probably been conditioned by now to not give a shit.
But when she started probably some senior teacher/principal saw her and had a brain malfunction.

god was I a self centered ignorant prick

You're clearly prejudiced. How can you judge a person based solely on their appearance?

The kind of people who generally get tattoos and piercings are generally the kind of people I don't like or would like to be around. The lady in the OP falls into it. I know it's generalizing and you'll try to show counter examples, but body mods have never sat well with me. I just don't like the idea of piercing your skin or putting ink in it.

They call this being bigoted.

Imagine the world without tattoos and piercings?
Breaking Bad, the television series, would not even exist. And that's just one silly example, but I know it got your attention.
[QUOTE=Furioso;46304065]Guess you wouldn't have liked any of these people?

I should have phrased it better, but this is beside the point I was trying to make.

uhm I've met many people from all groups that have tattoos or piercings. Nerds, business professionals, even nuclear-family super conservatives. So unless you just don't talk to anyone, I can't imagine a group where absolutely no one would have tattoos or piercings.

If only that were true
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46304180]If only that were true[/QUOTE]
it is a fact that more people without tattoos bite than those with, proportionally

This sounds more of an insecurity than anything if you phrase it like that.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;46304180]If only that were true[/QUOTE]
You assume that people with tattoos or piercings are people you wouldn't want to be around, [I]just[/I] because they have tattoos or piercings. This is like arbitrarily judging someone for liking a certain type of music, or for liking anime, or for having a particular style of dress - simply because it "doesn't sit well" with you. It's completely irrational, you know.

I'm glad you know more about me than I do. I just wanted to give my opinion of body mods and why I don't like them. There's nothing more that I can say that won't result in at least 5 people quoting me and calling me a bigot.

Nobody is saying it's wrong to dislike body mods. You don't have to like them. But it [I]is[/I] wrong to judge someone simply for having them.

You're being called a bigot because you are exhibiting bigoted behavior.

Basing your opinion of people solely on their looks is never a good idea, if you were shooting a movie or writing a novel it would be fine to make your villain a brute covered in intimidating skull tattoos, if you feel that would make him/her more frightening- but in reality people's personalities don't always fit so snugly with their appearance.
tattooed people are just as capable of being kind, honest and loving/nasty, judgemental and spiteful as anyone else on earth, they are no different from people without them.

I could understand this like 50 years ago, but nowadays there really isn't a "type" of person who gets tattoos or piercings. My mom's gotten the same piercings as each of my sisters as an 18th birthday present, so now she has a nose ring and a belly button ring and it's no big deal. My sister is a college grad working at a high-end store with a backyard food garden and a very normal lifestyle and she has a tattoo she designed herself. My aunt is a huge cross-country skier and mountain-climber with a couple tattoos, and she's almost 60.
People with tattoos aren't all the grunge punk kids with mohawks who do drugs all the time. I know dozens of incredibly nerdy people who play video games and go to cons who have dozens of tattoos. It's really becoming socially acceptable among every area of society, excluding catholic schools, apparently.
It's like being uncomfortable around people with certain haircuts. I can totally understand being weirded out by people with horn implants or foot-wide gauges, but tattoos and piercings are beyond acceptable nowadays.
[QUOTE=Furioso;46304255]First off, you haven't clarified why you don't like body mods. "They don't sit well with me" and restating that you don't like the idea of them are not valid reasons.[/QUOTE]
I like the human body being pure. There's nothing more to that. Adding permanent marks likes tattoos and piercings goes against that.

I'm fine with small ones. It's when you put enough to cover a part of your body is where the line is drawn.
[QUOTE=buro;46304244]What do piercings and tattoos of hearts and diamonds express? (Genuinely curious not rhetorical question)[/QUOTE]
If they have a meaning im not aware of it, some people don't need a sentiment behind each tattoo they get and get them purely for aesthetic, or even whimsical, reasons- IMO "it looks good" is as valid reason as any to get a tattoo.
I'd turn her down too.
No skull tattoos? YOU NEED AT LEAST ONE SKULL TATTOO!

So to you, people who go against your idea of the human body being pure. Suddenly dictates that they are lower than you, or people whom you've no desire to spend time with or talk to?
That's...pretty sad.

fuck piercings imo
very small ones just here and there? sure as long as they don't look tacky (on the nose, looks fucking lame)
But those lobe stretching things or piercings in tons of places or those hanging from your nose? That looks bad as fuck to me.
