I don't mind one or two as long as they are tasteful and meaningful. I can't tell you how many friends of mine got stupid tats on their ankles or tramp stamps and hate them now.
Same with the piercings. Less is more, especially if they're on your face. One of my huge pet peeves is seeing girls with like 8 piercings in one ear, so 80's. I'm with Vash on those gaping hole piercings, absolutely hideous.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
