I have my ears pirced.

ThorChick
03-18-2003, 08:48 PM
I have a total of 10 piercings and one tattoo. Two lobe piercings on each ear, two upper cartilage on my left ear, one upper cartilage on my right, one inner cartilage on my right, one eyebrow, and my tongue. I like piercings as long as they are done tastefully and don't clutter a person's body/face. I can't really stand labret, lip, or bull nose piercings. Those are my least favorite. Tongue piercings rock, and the prince albert piercing is pretty neat too.
My tattoo is a purple rose on my upper right back, just next to my shoulder blade. I plan on getting another tattoo on my lower back that will be the Japanese word for strength. Maybe a couple more tongue piercings too. Who knows though, it gets pretty expensive after a while......

batgeek
03-18-2003, 10:14 PM
learn to pierce and tattoo yourself :) thats what i did. i've done every popular pierce, but will never ever ever ever do a persons privates again. just personal preference.

its a nice way to make a little extra spending cash. though for friends, i only ask for them to pay for their jewlery and in case of a tat, to pay for the needles(ink is relatively cheap).

i'll have to scan some of my work and put it on a website. i've freelanced at a couple of shops(doing both piercings and tattooing) and have never gotten a complaint.

i've never tattooed myself cuz i dont have the patience to sit there and poke myself with a needle for hours on end :D

I like some piercing and some tats, but too much, just like thorchick said, not too cluttered.
But I personally only have my left ear done (im a guy). Someday maybe I'll get another in my left and one in the right, but that'd be as far as it'd ever go with me.
Tatoos like kewl, no doubt, but I know I'd get tired of it after 10 years and just hate myself for it ;)

Whatever you do dont go to a job interview with all your ear rings in.. I have personally seen qualified applicants not get the job because of peircings. It was considered disrespectfull.

i wouldn't want to work for anyone that didnt accept me for who i am anyways.
oh btw, i'm a Systems Engineer for Raytheon Systems Company. we have a great 401K plan, and damn good deals on health insurance!!! suffice to say, if i went and said i broke 2 ribs and got a concussion wrecking on my quad, i dont think the insurance would be too keen on covering the costs :D

Your one of the lucky ones and you only hear about the lucky ones no one mentions why they didnt get a job they were qualified for because the interviewer doesnt say we wont hire you because of all those ear rings, nipple rings ,nose rings, lip rings, chin rings, eyebrow rings, cheek rings, and hell people we do business with dont like our employees looking as though they just got out of prison. they dont tell you that they just say we found a more qualified candadate..

If you guys have got something to prove, be original, get your eye peirced. Why follow trends - be a trend setter.

It's all right, someone needs to cook my fries. Yes, I'd like to supersize that.

I used to agree with AtvMxRider and Honda350r, and pretty much still do when it comes to anyone in my family getting pierced, but I guess now days, if you got a life that lets you get away with being pierced, go for it.
Tattoos on the other hand, I've always thought were more expressive, kinda like bike graphics for your body. All of mine are coverable by clothes, nothing below the short sleeves. I got one for my dad when he passed away, and 2 for each of my boys. I'd like to fill up both shoulders and connect them across my back.

As far a jobs go...the majority of employers that deal with a broad spectrum of the community would shun away from somebody with facial jewelry. The majority of those jobs are relatively bland and promote the idea of their employees not sticking out in a crowd as to not alienate the average white middle class conservative prospective client. For those of us in society that choose to make a bolder than average statement about aesthetic beauty will most likely not seek employment in the prospective areas mentioned above. I have a few piercings and a couple tattoos as a choice of expression which sometimes spills over to conversation...but I am a photography student so chances are my desired area of employment will not regard my body image. One last note: For those who choose to have tattoos or piercings for that matter need to realize that not everybody subscribes to the same ideas about beauty so one must expect people not to agree with you.

I feel that I am comfortable enough with myself and how others view me enough that I can pierce/tattoo myself without cause for worry. The piercings come out. They heal up, they go away. Seems harmless enough to me. Tattoos are a little bit more permanent than that so I'm a little more careful with what and where I put on my body.
It is a shame that piercings are looked down upon as much as they are, but I've noticed in the last few years people are becoming more accepting of them. I've had quite a few senior citizens compliment me on my eyebrow piercing and tell me that it looks "cute."
Jobs are another story though. I take out my eyebrow piercing for any interview, tone down a couple earings, and put a flesh colored barbell in my tongue. I did however find out that if a job does not hire you because you have tattoos it is considered descriminaton, and the same thing goes for them telling you to cover your tattoos up.
For those of you that don't understand body piercings and think we are hoodlums or idiots or kids, grow up. People are going to do whatever they want to their bodies, and you just need an open enough mind to accept them.

Proving discrimination her in Idaho is extremely hard

That's a bad thing as well?

I've worked for a few large corporations in some diverse environments and I must say, one of the worst things is having to carry someone who doesn't work because they know they won't get fired. Companies are many times so fearful of having a discrimination suit being brought against them the won't fire the folks that really need it.

The burden of proof should be on the person crying discrimination - if you've truly been discriminated against, it shouldn't be difficult to prove. Far too often laws made with good intentions get abused and we all suffer because of it.

Don't guess I understood any of that...

I still maintain that how could giving a BUSINESS OWNER the right to discharge an employee that really needs it a bad thing?

Why shouldn't an EMPLOYER have an advantage - after all, it is HIS business, HE should be able to run it however he sees fit & utilize employees that HE believes do the best job for his money. After all, HE is the one paying the paycheck - not some lawmaker 20 years removed from the work force.

If he doesn't treat them right, the laws of supply & demand take over and he will lose his best people to the competition.

If you need laws in place to keep you in your job, you need more education, to work harder, or to look for a new job.

You are basically telling me im less than adequate in the brains Dept. and I resent your comments, if you lived in my state being a blue collar worker you would see how this law can effect the everyday worker :grr I usually dont reply to smart remarks but Im taking this one very personal and you need to step off!! Im not saying an employer shouldnt have rights to hire and fire, but when its comes down to "bad business moves " and not giving workers there breaks, lunches ,work off the clock,and pay structure most importantly, I think you would see the full picture then..THis is moving in the wrong direction,back to topic....:rolleyes:

I am 17 and i think body peircings and big tatoos take away the beauty of the body, not add to it. A small tatoo here or there don't look bad. However when you have big tattoos that cover your whole arms or backs i think they look ridicoulous.

I want to get 'ride or die' tatooed on my right bicept. The only thing holding me back is regreading it later on.

I really doubt half these kids think about what there whole arm tattoo will look like when they are older.

I don't have any piercings anymore, but I was one of the first people here to get their tonque pierced (this was about 10 years ago.....) had it done several times over the years. I would take it out to go to an interview and it would heal up - or if I had a job that just wouldn't allow it, I'd take it out, and get it done again later if I wanted.

I also had my nose pierced at one time - ouch! I liked it but it was a pain to take care of.....

And...last but not least, I had something in the netherregions pierced a couple of times, just to spice things up a little! :) Once with a vertical piercing, and once with a hoop...not both at the same time. I had to take them out for having babies and stuff.....just never got it done again.

So....no more metal in me, except for my ears.

I do have two tats that I really like....a tribal on my lower back just above my butt (sounds like where QJ wants one!) and a tribal sun on my tummy around my bellybutton (hurt but is my favorite!)......

To each his/her own - I can't judge, because I have been there and am still there in part - I can say though that being smart about where you put anything permanent is a good thing if you plan on having a professional job at any point in time. No one at my work would ever know I had any tats if I didn't tell them. What you have on the outside isn't going to determine who you are inside.......

Wow QJ- sounds like I touched on a nerve.

FWIW, no I am not a corporation owner, yet alone a major corporation owner. I am, however an hourly employee of a major corporation, I have been employed by 5 major corporations over the years - one with over 40,000 employees, two others with over 100,000 employees. Heck, I'm even a member of a labor union (closed shop) - although I strongly disagree with many things they support and do.

I am also a small time programmer in my spare time, doing work for some race organizations we all know, follow, and participate in.

First, I don't see where you get off calling me a punk for stating my opinion on a business owner's rights. You may not agree with my opinions and that's fine - I don't have to agree with yours either. Given my middle class, midwestern background, I tend to fall on the right side of the political line & have very differing opinions from the more liberal types.

Second, I still don't have a clue what you're talking about - you still have not provided a single example of the atrocities that are apparently occurring in your workplace. Maybe if I knew what you were talking about we'd be on the same page.

Third, my family has owned several small businesses over the years & it irritates the crap out of me when some govt agency creates new laws that makes it harder for them to control their business, their employees, their livelihood.

I have family & friends that make seven figure incomes - I also have family & friends that make minimum wage. There are reasons for this & it's not because "the man" is holding them back. It's due directly to choices they've made (or not made) over their lives.

I am fortunate enough right now to work with a great group of people, however, when I worked on the East coast (for a major corp) I worked with several people that desperately needed fired. The company would not even touch them due to their fear of discrimination litigation. These employees were literally allowed to sleep on the job with no reprocussions - guess who got to take up the slack.. Although I can't complain too much, made me look really good to the powers that be & helped me in the long run.

Anyhow, that's where I'm coming from - if that offends you, sorry, that's just the way I feel. The employer is the one that gives the employee the opportunity to work -- if he doesn't want his company being represented by a person that has perforated themselves with peircings & jewelry, etc - he has the right within reason to say enough is enough when that person is on the job - just as he would to tell you that you must wear a suit to work, or to deal with someone that decided they wanted to "express" themselves by not showering, by showing up to work only wearing underwear, by using profanities every other word in a sentence, etc....

I suppose you also think that Hooters should be forced to hire male "waitresses"? After all, they shouldn't discriminate against someone just because they are male.

Man! For a thread on body piercing this sure has gotten ugly! Maybe we should chill with the name callin??

batgeek - In my house it's the same way (it's like the Third Reich). But, the same freedom that allows people to pierce and tattoo their bodies, also gives us the freedom to raise our kids as we feel right. I wouldn't call that anymore closed minded than thinking if someone doesn't approve of your choices, they are an "idiot". His statement was humurous, but I'm sure its meaning was that our kids are influenced by what other people (and the media) glorify, and it is our right, and job, to keep them from making uneducated decisions based on fads, etc. **disclaimer** this does not say anyone here has made an uneducated decision!

86atc250r - If I can add my 2 cents to QJ's argument. I have been in both situations. First off, I have worked for a State Court as a network tech, and saw many a person who had no business working* (<-used lightly) there, but because of politics, etc. were still there after I left. On the other hand (I believe this is along QJ's point), I have worked at a place where, because of a personal argument outside of work, my boss made it a living he11. Problems were made up out of thin air, lies were told, and verbal attacks were made. My first course of action was to contact HR, then the state employment agency to file a grievance or something. Because it was a "right to hire(fire)" state, they informed me the only harrassment the recognized was sexual and racial -- a white male can se neither. So my second course was much worse...... lets just say, he hired a body guard and I got some nice wrist jewelry..... not fun, and expensive - NOT RECOMMENDED!
Another example - the wife of a guy that works for me used to work at a daycare. They started a policy that you could not leave the building for lunch, and if they needed you during your scheduled lunch, oh well you miss out..... but you still had the half hour "lunch" deducted on time sheet. There was some other junk there too, but he's gone for the day, and I forget. Seems unreasonable, but she checked into it and couldn't do anything to change it.
Granted, the employer grants the employee the right to work, and the employee should work for that right. But when the emploee holds up his end, shouldn't the employer treat them with respect and some sort of loyalty?

Anyhow, in a perfect world we wouldn't need either argument...... society would be run by the military and people would be paid based on their work merit and effort, not politics and popularity.

Absolutely p@iNn3ck,

However, when one realizes that they are in a bad situation with a supervisor or they don't like the way management handles things, legal action won't make it better, it just makes people go covert.

Sometimes it's better to cut your losses and go elsewhere. Sometimes things that shouldn't happen, happen - it's an unfair world sometimes. 99.9% of the time don't you think you are better off being away from those people in the long run? Life's too short to work with people or jobs that make your life miserable or especially physically threaten you (restraining order?).

I have a hard time believing that a person would have no recourse against not being paid for working thru their lunch hour - if you work & are an hourly employee, you should be compensated (unless you are a salaried employee, then you've screwed yourself :( I learned my lesson on that long ago)

I also know exactly what you're talking about being a white male myself - anymore I often wonder if we are the most legally discriminated against group out there. I have even been denied a job because I am a white male (quotas are great aren't they), they had the nerve to tell me if I had any female friends they'd like to talk to them, especially if they were black. No recourse for me. Thankfully, about a year later I was eventually hired & got some great experience.

All I know is in the workplaces I've been in, discrimination laws are typically abused by those "being held back by the man" and I grow rather tired of it.

I don't have much to say but here it is:

If you get a Tatoo and plan on a business based job in a corporation then:

Get somthing that can be hidden. Such as on back or upper arm. Somthing that can be shown if ya want to and hidden if ya want it to be.

As for Piercing:

If ya get somthing then don't go over board. First think bout what it gonna be like what ya are older... Then decide if that what ya wanna show your kids when ya a Grandpa/ma...

And believe me, I am WAY better off having left that environment... but at the time, I was young, my gf (wife now) worked there, and jobs outside of "downtown" were scarce.

Anyhow -- yes, I'm in SW MO. We race some flattrack in MO and a lot of XC in Arkansas. Every now and then we'll hit a MO harescramble. I don't do much MXing anymore although it's fun to go practice at the track every now and again.

Actually batgeek, I made the Third Reich comparison to "my" household, not about honda350r's, so I deserve the hitler remarks. And I agree with him about not letting them do "permanent" alterations to their body. I waiting a long time for mine, and won't ever regret them, since they are in honor of people I will always love.

since i assume that 350 is the leader of his household, i equated him to the leader of teh Third Reich.

he's not wrong for wanting to raise his kids like that, i just disagree with him.

You're right, I didn't at all get what you were saying & I'm still a bit foggy - in fact, you didn't provide any examples to make your point other than to say that being a right to work state gave the employer more authority to fire a person if need be. I still don't see how that is a bad thing. I took that to be the jist of your point.

I also certainly didn't see where I said anything intended to offend you - note that my use of the word "you" in previous posts (i.e. "If you need laws in place to keep you in your job, you need more education, to work harder, or to look for a new job.") - was not directed at you personally (maybe I could have been more clear) , I just figured that was understood.
- it was a general statement about any person that might feel that they "need" laws passed to keep them in their job - it's a harsh but very true statement, if you (again, a generallity - not specifically pointing at you) don't like your current situation, do something about it. If you're in a workplace that doesn't respect it's employees or requires you to do things that you consider unethical, do yourself a favor and find (or make) work elsewhere, you'll be a much happier person in the end - even if it means leaving your comfort zone and learning something new. America is full of opportunities.

Evasive?

That's the first time I've been accused of that.

Usually my detailed posts and straight forward, no dancing around the subject demeanor is what makes people take things a little personally sometimes.

Again, I'm not trying to start an argument or flame war - just clarifying myself and position.

03-19-2003, 06:46 PM
Hmmmm lets see

tatts piercings r cool but to to many followers and no friggin leaders and thats scarry.

Got em so dont bother gettin on my case.

Ugly is in so I guess knock yourself out but leave room for the redo later :)

Now for mr gabe (who i usually agree with :) )

WTF you thinking dude, your missing the whole other side of the big picture. My experiences are all over this area and I have been the boss, the small bus owner, and the employee that was discriminated against.

So no favoritism here at all OK (you got to say all right OK)

The majority of the labor laws in most states are completely one sided to the employers favor. No, not the payroll taxes or the various other ways uncle sam picks the pockets of small business but the labor laws that pertain to the employer/employee relationship.

I have seen so many states adopt a "employee at will" type policy that it scares me, and I am not an employee.

Basically what these policies do is give the employer carteblanche to do what ever the frig they like and unless the company is a major larger corp that understands the other laws the end result is the continued harrassment of the average employee.

What happens is that the smaller bus. that account for the largest number of total employed dont know that just because a state has these types of policies that they cant just fire people because they wont bite their arse or get the laundry etc. and things get out of hand from there.

I have seen people terminated for some strange reasons that even in a employer friendly state are completely illegal but they just dont know any better and since most people are not kowing much more everyone moves on or goes postal etc.

You have admit that if I was actually your boss and didnt like your posts, and told you tomorrow that you were being let go as you are obstructive and intrusive to the other employees and general work flow, that this would be perfectly acceptable in a employee at will state. but we would both know that it was truely because of these rediculous posts. Get my drift there????????????

I think that there needs to be a balanced system that doesnt discriminate at all to anyone and also causes a employer to show cause for termination. As well as allowing a company to operate profitably but not just cut loose whom ever they like with out reason and there must be some sytems or laws that protect the employer from just turning every talanted person over 50 who is making good $$$ to a pan handler who was replaced by a trainee. Otherwise we are gonna go broke supporting all these people like we have been trying for the last 5+ years.

Think about the issues outside the simplicity.

Now go get a exriders tatoo across you forehead :D :blah :macho

I dont want it to be more than oh say...6- 8 inches wide of a tattoo...:D Quads are my second love to my family,so I wont think I would have a regret putting it on there,and its not like you would see it unless I wanted someone to see it...

Hello Lenny

Ahh, see - this is the type of info I was trying to extract from QJ.

Maybe I've just been lucky & the small business around here just treats their people well. Anyhow, yep, there can be abuses on both ends.

A couple issues with what you've said
have seen people terminated for some strange reasons that even in a employer friendly state are completely illegal but they just dont know any better and since most people are not kowing much more

That is sad indeed, but even more sad that the person on the receiving end wouldn't have the "gumption" to check into the legality of the way he was treated, especially in today's age of readily available information and resources. I know when I feel I have been wronged, I find a way to make it right - I may spend more time than it's worth doing it, but it's in my nature.

Also part of my point is, if the employer is willing to terminate you for these types of reasons, aren't you better off parting ways instead of fighting legal or personal battles? Doesn't make for a very friendly work atmosphere or long & happy life.

You have admit that if I was actually your boss and didnt like your posts, and told you tomorrow that you were being let go as you are obstructive and intrusive to the other employees and general work flow

That could be a very sticky problem - but I will also maintain that if you make yourself a valuable asset to the company, that cheezy excuses like that generally won't be used on you.

I've found that many times in a corporate environment, cheezy excuses, layoffs, etc are used to cut the fat. Not at all saying that's what happens all the time, but it certainly does sometimes.

Maybe I'm just a naive country boy with naive work ethics & ideas - you city slickers over on the east coast must have it a bunch rougher than what I've been exposed to :)

One other question (well OK, two) - did being the "employee being discriminated against" eventually lead you to being "the boss" or the "small business owner"? Are you better off now than you would have been if you were able to retain your job at the place that discriminated against you (not necessarily monetarily, but quality of life wise)?

I do see your end of the story though.

Time for bed, I'm out for the evening...

Tina ~ When I got my tattoo it really didn't hurt that bad. It only took about 25 minutes and was more annoying than anything. Afterwards it wasn't very painful either, except when my brother-in-law thought it would be funny to slap it. THAT hurt like hell. My best friend just had FOXY tattooed on her lower back in the area I think you are wanting to get yours done in. She said it was slightly painful (i think she stopped breathing for a while) and the day after she got it done it hardly hurt at all. It all depends on how big your tattoo is, how much detail there is, and the location you want to put it in. Generally in an area where there is less fat or skin and more bone exposure its going to hurt more. If it is extremely painful you can take breaks during the process so you can breath and relax for a few minutes, sometimes even go in the next day and finish it.
I want another tattoo!! I think I'm going to get my second one this summer, after I lose the rest of the weight I want to. Only 45 more pounds to go.....YAY!

D@ng, I missed some good posts, had to go to bed early, the baby likes to wake up all night.

QJ - #1 rule on gettin a tattoo...... Remember to BREATHE! I have seen many a "tough guy" pass out while gettin inked because he was straining and forgot to exhale. If it hurts, just ask to take a break, but keep breathing while the work is being done. The pain will depend on location and your personal nerve endings. The last 2 I got were one on each upper arm, same location. The right arm I never felt, the left arm felt like a dull knife carving me open. Be sure to check on their needles (always a new one) and sterilization. You can take it, don't worry.

Gabe (just noticed that was you name) - I was raised in a southern baptist/military family, so I heard all the same "work hard", "nose to grindstone", "get the job done", "make yourself an asset" speeches. This is how I've always approached life. I am also very head strong and outspoken.
Consider yourself lucky you've never been in a company where that was not appreciated. After I left "the bad job", my wife continued to work there for almost 3 years. We were both integral and hard working parts of the company, and I was replaced by not 1, but 4 new employees..... and they still didn't get the work done that I did. For almost a year after, anytime they ran into a problem, they asked her to call me and ask for help..... and I did.... I was raised to help. Hopefully y'all have kissed and made up, and agreed to not see eye to eye, but sure was a good debate. lol

Oh yeah, ever considered a green 199 tattoo?????:cool:

QJ - you've had kids, so I would have to say you will not have a problem with a tat! Nothing else is that painful! I got mine alone and sober, and it was no problem. My lower back tat took about 1 1/2 hours, because it's black ink and they go over it twice to be sure it there are no missed spots....it hurts to a point, but then just levels off - you can just take your mind off of it and it makes it pretty easy.

It is sore the next day, sort of feels like road rash, but if you keep is soft and protected for a few days, then by the second day it starts to feel better. Take care of it the way they tell you too, and it will come out really good. Also, make sure you go to someone who is good - there are some bad tatoo "artists" out there and that's something you don't really want to mess up!

I had mine picked out for about a year before I actually went and got it - I still wanted it just as bad after the year, so I knew it was the right one. Same with my tummy one......

I've never regretted it - that's the important thing! Get something timeless, and that won't go out of style in 20 years! Sounds like the one you have in mind is cool! Let us know if you get it - pm me if you have any questions!!!

And the right tattoo is cool. But not half of your body in ink, that's grouse.

AtvMxRider you have some serious growing up to do. I have no piercing and no tattoos. I dont have anything against people that do. However people can do whatever that want to there body. You have no say in it. But you should recall that in the 70's men did wear high heeled shoes, and big huge gay looking pants, and they had clown hair! I am sorry but I would hire somebody with a tattoo or piercing over a man dressed up as a women. Come on use your brain, I am sure when you were a teenager, you did the trends. So layoff, and dont be a dicatator and try to set rules what people have to do, just because it isnt at your standards.
I am sick and tired of people 25 and older saying how its inmoral to do these things and how when they were a kid they didnt do that type of thing. Its 2003, not 1920's. Open your eyes the civilization is changing. Your not going to stop change either.

If tomorrow I wake up and suddenly decide I look like an idiot with all this metal in my face I can take it out and within a few days or even a week the skin will grow back. DUH!
Although I highly doubt I'll decide that anytime soon because I really like the looks of the piercings I have, it is nice knowing I can do that.

I never once said anything bad about a person with tats or piercings! My wife has pierced ears and my friend have tattoos..

I just think some are too extreme and may affect a persons life in a way that could be negative in the future !!

I work with the public everyday all colors and all tattoos. If you come into my shop and have a piercing or tattoos I will ask you where you got it and why ...

If you have them good for you and I hope it gets what you want in life...

I will ask all of you the same question in 20 yrs from now and see if it is the same answer you have today..
