has a tattoo or piercing ever worked against you?

This thread reminds me of when I was 15 and dying to get my ears pierced like all the other girls. My mother thought it was “barbaric” but said at 15 it was my decision so she hired a SURGEON to do it. Afterwards, my grandmother summoned me to her house to “inspect” the damage. She sniffed and said that she guessed it was OK…when I think of what other kids were doing in 1970 I think my family got off the hook easily with just pierced ears!
