Multiple piercing and tats? Why?

These people are like living graffiti; they are unsightly. The bull-rings and ear lobe stretching things are ******* gross if you ask me. I don't even want to have to look at them, but I am a fascist.

Yes and no. Tattoos can also make a person very identifiable. Life after undercover work could be very precarious.

They're probably the same people who could appreciate graffiti.

I think the aesthetic is constantly evolving. I have a pierced nose (tiny stud, not a ring) and it doesn't seem to phase anyone. The head of my company has sent me to meet with members of congress and not thought twice about it - and the head of the company is pushing 70. I'd imagine that by the time my friends' kids are my age multiple visible tattoos will be even more acceptable.

Don't get me wrong, I certainly get finding stretched ears and neck tattoos unappealing (and can see why one might find any tattoos unattractive) - but I find so many other personal style choices much more objectionable.

Like leggings.

Whatever. It's all going to end up Mad Max anyway.

I was just at the Ferry Building in San Francisco, which is a kind of gourmet shopping center, and a majority of the young people employees had multiple tattoos, piercings and ear plugs.

Nothing says San Francisco like pierced and tattooed skinny young people working in a gourmet food store.

An old guy now with a forearm tattoo was probably a sailor, Marine, biker, etc. - he got his tattoo doing something interesting. In forty years, that faded tattoo is going to be on some underfed douchebag who got it after a wicked No Age concert.

^I like this a lot. I'll give it a strong 9.

Three of the RubeBabes and I were at ValleyFair (amusement park) a week ago doing the roller coaster thing. In front of me in one line was this family: two of the cutest little boys you've ever seen in your life (no pedi, btw) and their parental units. Both "mom" and "dad" were covered. I didn't mind it, except the dude was sporting the full Mike Tyson facial look.

That weirded me out. He was pushing 40. All I could think about was he's going to look at that tat every ******* morning for the rest of his life.

Every.
*******.
Morning.
