My body is my castle!

Your Body is your own thing, you can do with it whatever you want, but what's the point hurting yourself?
I don't have tattoos or piercing. But I'm thinking about it.
For now I'm a bit sceptic about those ideas. Doing something pernament on your own body. I think about how would I feel having tattoo when I'd be 70? Something that nowadays is cool, alternative and fashionable, can be embarrassing in the future.
What about piercing? Ear, nose, lip - ok, but nipples or genitals? Is it fashion or masochism?
People do it to impress the others? For themselves? Maybe because they like it!
I accept choice to make body modification, and consider it as something interesting, but I don't feel like doing something to myself yet. http://www.tattoos.com/

I agree that getting a tattoo that is cool or fashionalble is always a bad idea. If it was something you did just as part of some sort of fad you're bound to regret it. However if you have spent the time thinking about getting a tattoo that has some sort of meaning to you personaly, regardless of what other think, then I can see little reason why you would regret it in the future. Many of the aged people who I have spoken to who have tattoos always have some sort of story that goes along with it, aswell as a lot of the middle aged people. But you're right, it's not for everyone.
