he had these massive holes in them, held open by a ring of steel the size of a £2 coin

what the fuck? Is this a new "thing"? it's repulsive!

If you can do that to your ears and they spring back when the ring falls out then what the eff is wrong with my belly and why hasn't it sprung back? It was only a 10 pounder...

It is vile isn't it?
I can't be doing with piercings in brows?

Similarly tattoos.
All so cheap and common and rough.
Attention seeking.

Yes, think of them as they age. All that floppy age spotted crepey skin.
Mmmmm.

moondog, I think you should say what your really think...

Urgh, they give me the shivers. I always get the urge to yank 'em really hard [boak]

LynetteScavo · 26/04/2010 21:34

I think wanting to puke on the postie is a bit extreme, even though, I have noidea why any body would want to create holes in their ears.

I''t not attractive, IMO.

It's not a new thing..do you live in the deep dark coutryside, Greeny?

HellenaHandcart · 26/04/2010 21:36

I think the tattoos and piercings looking gross as you get old is an odd argument. We all will get old (all being well) and ageing is inevitable, what difference do these things make to an ageing body???

You may leave a beautiful corpse if you don't 'mess about' with yourself but you'll still be a corpse...

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 26/04/2010 21:41

I know what you mean. I don't know why people want to mutilate themselves.

I am extremely squeamish

AnyFucker · 26/04/2010 21:50

are you joining me in a good old hoiking of the bosoms, JMTPW ?

Ivykaty44 · 26/04/2010 21:53

dd1 new bf has them in his ears and eyebrow peircings, I want to keep touching my eyebrow and I don't know why I just frown a lot to itch them whitout him noticing - but he probably thinks I am scowling at him..

Having your ears peirced is mutalating and itchy

SixtyFootDoll · 26/04/2010 21:54

I think they look really yuck.
But I am not a fan of tatts and piercings, every other person has one or the other.
I like the fact that I'm different by haveing neither!! ]

Mumcentreplus · 26/04/2010 22:08

JMTPW you are just a scaredy cat!

MamaG · 26/04/2010 22:11

MamaG · 26/04/2010 22:13

I am a scaredy cat. An unmutilated scaredy cat my sister has about a hundred tattoos and a faceful of metal. (When she sees I typed that she's going to kill me ) and it gives me the squiggys. Especially when she tries to show me that bloody thing through her lip. Ooh look it's healing, ooh look, it's infected... no thank you. Dear god why do you want to show me such things. admittedly, I have inadvertently shown her far worse, but still...

I am indeed planning on a good hoiking, AF. Now, where did I park that fork-lift?...

I am quite convinced that our dc will rebel against all the tatts and piercings (as they are pretty much genetically programmed to do) so when they are in their teens and twenties and they come across an old gimmer with those big holey ears it will be the equivalent to them of our feelings towards beige Farah slacks or a shampoo and set .

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 26/04/2010 22:18

I want to click
I want to click
I want to click

I mustn't.

I'll hate it, won't I?

There's just something irresistible about a link, you know?

GoldenSnitch · 26/04/2010 22:18

They're not new. I had a friend who could pass a whole snooker cue through his ear while I was at sixth form over a decade ago

KM I clicked on the link then bottled it when I saw the words 'extreme' and 'eye' on the same page.

Kaloki · 26/04/2010 22:23

One of my friends had a plug in her ear, it used to smell so bad! Apparently they are harder to clean than normal piercings.. though that may have just been her excuse..

Ewww, stretched nose piercings!!! Eww in fact at all the stretched lip/nose/cheek(!!!!) piercings

And I love piercings normally!

PS. is that first guy drooling?

SixtyFootDoll · 26/04/2010 22:26

boaks at smelly ears, I am so stepping away from this thread!
