Happy Saturday!! What's on your menu today?

it was the same with me. Very few people had tattoos back then besides military people and biker types. Or maybe like Jen said, they were just hidden. Probably the main reason I've never gotten one, even though they're commonplace now. I remember when I got my ears pierced at age 15. Practically every girl in my school had her ears pierced. My mother was mortified - but then back when she was a teen, only "cheap" (as she called them) girls had their ears pierced. "Good" girls did not. For my generation, just swap in tattoos for pierced ears. (I should add that my mother finally got her ears pierced about 30 years ago, because it's next to impossible to find regular earrings now - and has been for the last 30 or 40 years...)

lol !! My Mother felt the same way - and she too has her ears pierced now .

Of course my Dad had to do the piercing using an ice cube and a needle to save ten dollars over the mall's piercing gun w free studs included.
