To tell the truth guys....I come from a christian family...A CLOSELY sheltered christian home.....So tattoo's, piercings were off limits...

My dad always made the remark of-

"These little boys wanna be girls? With their earrings, etc....Take'm out back an either whipp'em till they get the notion out of their heads....Or Pull out the pocket knife...Giv'em something to act like a girl for..."

So I think a LOT of my indecisiveness comes from that....And that once I get a piercing, etc...I'll be fine...

I mean..I'm this far right? Having the thought, and motivation enough to research things out thoroughly....

I like making INFORMED decisions....

Same here. I'm sure that my dad was when he first noticed my then girlfriends tattoos.

Just give it some thought. Do you want to do this because she wants you to and you want to support her...or do you want to do it because it's something you want to do. You can forgo tattoos and piercings and still support (or tolerate) her wanting to do it.

I've given thought to tattoo's and piercing for years....But my family would've beaten my *** senseless....And I'm thankfull for them....THey've taught me to KNOW WHAT I'M IN FOR, BEFORE JUMPIN THE CLIFF....


So now after a LOT of thought, etc....I think I'm gonna get the piercings...

As for the GF....She thinks its fair, that because she's a girl, that she can get that stupid bar done....Told me I was a guy, and to stop wanting to do childish things...I'm 22, too old for that crap....

Yet she's 23....And wanting to get that bar slammed through her ear....And a nursing student at that...So I'm sure that's gonna look REALLY cute.....Nurse walk in with a big ol' bar in her ear....Even the clear tunnels still look gawky....

So yeah...I'm butthole....Along with me already wanting to do it, then backing out...it's given me fuel for it once more...

Told her if she wants to get something I don't like in her ear...Fine...I'll get something she doesn't like in mine....

So its not a 110% spiteful thing...More of a thing I wanted to do, that'll serve more than one purpose...

She pulled the "If I wanted that crap, I'd have gotten a guy that already had it.." card....I retaliated with "Same here honey..."....

Yeah..I'm quick on my feet like that...

Yeah...that's going to go over really well in an interview. My wife works in surgery (a tech). She was at least bright enough to get her tattoos in places that can be covered up by scrubs. Unless your GF wants to end up working in a free clinic...helping junkies...she might want to give that bar some thought. At the end of the day...you do not see people with many visible tattoos and funky piercings working in jobs like that.

She's a woman that already made up her mind. You could produce a peer-reviewed piece from the New England Journal of Medicine stating that the IP will lead to brain damage (yeah...) and she'd still get it.

Women/relationships. Crack open a beer...sit back...and enjoy the irrational ride.

if I were still "Allowed" to drink...I would....But for the time being...If I'm gonna have to live with her and that ugly assed bar...She's gonna have to live with my ugly ***....Plus a set of earrings....

And after today...She doesn't like it...Too bad....There's 150 million other women out there....

I've tried being logical, civil, nice...Just nothing gets through to her...

Oh yeah...Says that I am not the type to do something like this....Funny...The churchmouse/church pianist doesn't either...

And if she honestly....Honestly...Tells me she'll split up with me...Then all hell will break loose.....Like never before....

And then again...just shows she was lookin for a reason to break up....

I have enough scars without punching holes in myself deliberately, thank you just the same.

All of those scars were earned NOT BOUGHT FOR SILLY REASONS!!!

~ Not only that - I appreciate the human body most JUST THE WAY IT IS. Nothing about tats or piercings strikes me as having any kind of high performance advantage - quite the opposite in fact.

But you do what you want...

(UBU)

It ain't mine to carp about

If I were you I'd go out - git drunk - and if she bitchezz ask about the money she done spent on THAT! (seriously)

I AIN'T NO TAMED INDIVIDUAL!!!

Dang sure know better than to be led around by any part of myself either.

There's two words for that - and I ain't "Whipped"

So - (I have to ask this)

In your mind it isn't right or smart? I could see that from the beginning.

START SHOPPING FOR A REPLACEMENT

I think you really want a NATURAL person as a mate


(You can tell I have a real bad bias against deliberate disfigurement)



You just don't CUT yourself to impress people. That's the way I see it

That's real bad news

It says right out in front that you just don't care at a fundamental level.


By the way - I refuse to vote any of those options.

My vote is to walk away - FAST! And find someone secure with their own self-image


Also by the way - the most common mistake is to think you can "FIX" or help someone bound and determined to do whatever.

The reason you can't is because you can only make your own choices.




We b us
I B I
UBU


SHE B SHE


Now the real nutshell question is will you deal with it until you split in some catastrophic way later on...

I'm not getting this piercing thing. I think it's a dangerous way to identify one's self and over shadows the natural beauty of a woman or a man from a woman's standpoint.
