I think tattoos and piercings are definitely cool. It's nice to see so many people expressing themselves these days in my opinion. The only thing with tatoos though is ..alot of people seem to get unoriginal work done. If it's not so original, but it means something ..then that's different. Don't get me wrong, they get what they wanna get, but I personally would prefer to have something original. I only have 1 tat (not the most original, but something I believe) since I haven't decided what else I really want to get. When I do though, i'll be sure to get it.
