When I was a young stripling, we deviated our septa the old-fashioned way: falling face-forward onto an axe we had recently used to fell an old-growth tree!
Tattoos went out when the recession hit? So all these recession-struck folks are supposed to have expensive laser removal performed so as to keep with the times? That actually makes a lot of sense. And but a lot I mean none.
If you don't like facial piercings, don't write to women with them. Problem solved. Nobody's going to ditch their cat, piercings or hairstyle just to go out with you, and being insulting isn't actually persuasive.
For that matter, if you are going to spend $250, or more, on a tattoo or whatever amount on a piercing you lose your right to bitch about being poor.
