Tattoos and Piercing

Tattoos and Piercing

Who thinks that tattoos and piercing go hand in hand?

I guess if you can stand the pain of getting a tattoo or getting a piercing is easy.

But just because you like ink in the form of an image on your skin does not automatically mean you are going to like sticking a bit of metal in it as well.

I have noticed that there are a few Tattoo and Piercing Associations:

‘ “I've been trying to get tattooing legalized in Oklahoma for the last 10 years,” he said. “I was one of the originators of the Oklahoma Tattoo and Piercing Association and I'm on the board of directors.”

‘Arizona does not require a license of tattoo artists, either. Tattoo and Piercing shop owners and artists of Tempe have had enough. They have formed a group called the Tempe Tattoo and Piercing Association that shows up frequently to City Council meetings in all their full-sleeve-tattooed-arm glory to try and make a change.’

And then there are the institutes

Do you think the two should automatically be linked together?

Or are there fundamental differences that should keep the two separate?
