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!

Those ear things are just vile - I'm with SoupDragon about the morbidly fascinating. It's like with really tacky tattoos - you just imagine how they're going to look in sixty years time...

There's a great website called rate my tattoo or something. I used to spend hours on there with my housemate rating the tattoos as awful - most of them were barely visible splodges of ink, that were claiming to be dolphins, chinese lettering, or skulls.

well I was going to link to this

but then I saw that Kerry had found a much better link

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 26/04/2010 22:38

No. I won't. I know it will be gross but I'll be compelled to look at it in detail.

In fact, I'm going to bed, where I'll be safe.

bibbitybobbityhat · 26/04/2010 22:40

I am just the same as you Hec. Morbidly fascinated and trying to persuade myself to go to bed lest I throw all caution to the wind and click and see something that will haunt me forever ...

JustMyTwoPenceWorth · 26/04/2010 22:48

yup. And now I really am going to bed.

night folks.

bibbitybobbityhat · 26/04/2010 22:49

Sleep tight

fortyplus · 26/04/2010 23:01

What about this one?

menomena · 26/04/2010 23:05

I don't dare to click on any of these links but YABU - those big holes in the ear lobes are really not my taste either and make me feel quite queasy :S

menomena · 26/04/2010 23:05

SuSylvester · 26/04/2010 23:06

Kaloki · 26/04/2010 23:08

Have fun

StephysFamous · 26/04/2010 23:09

I think they can look good on some people.
You would have been unreasonable to have actually puked all over him, but you didn't and everyone is welcome to their opinions.
I absolutely love tattoos (better do as I have so many!) and the way I see it is that nothing is gonna look good on me in 60 years so tattoos are not gonna make the slightest difference.

expatinscotland · 26/04/2010 23:17

it's not something i'd chose to do to myself. for starters, it looks like it hurts. it was bad enough just getting mine pierced when i decided to go for a double piercing.

but the urge to puke i generally reserve for people with really bad BO.

I think once you get one labia piercing, you get more. Maybe there's a prize if you collect the set?

Have a book on piercings, one woman has enough labia piercings that she can padlock them up.

Mumcentreplus · 26/04/2010 23:43

Yikes!

Dinkytinky · 26/04/2010 23:52

I have my neck pierced at the back but am otherwise very normal looking! You are YABU, Its sad that you can be so repulsed my other human beings for their looks/style and i hope you don't plan on passing it on to your kids.

Once when staying away in Holland we were watching TV and a programme came on about piercings. Some English guy was being interviewed - he had a record number of genital piercings.

He made a comment about it 'affecting every aspect of your life'. When asked exactly what this meant he replied 'Well for example I have to sit on the loo as my wee comes out sideways through the pierced holes'.

Now... whatever anyone might think about not judging by appearances etc... WHY would someone have that done to themselves?

Can't get the image of AF and JMTPW adjusting boobs out of my head.......thinks back to Les Dawson and his sidekick over the garden fence....
