commenter said. "whoever believes that should get cancer immediately". so how about the studies that show correlation between tattoos, piercings and foulness. should the scientists get cancer immediately? what about someone who wishes cancer to strangers? isn't she mentally disturbed? you are just proving what they say.

what the hell? NOPE

piercings are awesome! and they're a way to express yourself... i think body modification is just art. nothing negative about it... that sounds really ignorant to say that body modifications are linked to mental disorder...

oh wait.. maybe the ones who think that way are the ones who should get checked >:(

[ImACowgirl]

I believe some people who've been though trauma do it. not sure if that's why everybody does I though. some are just "trendys" others do I for other reasons.

[Zendrya]

ummmm no... I have my ears pierced, had my nose pierced, and have 2 tattoos and I am all good in the head

[HaveNoName]

Ears and nose "in the traditional way" is perfectly normal.

[Zendrya]

@HaveNoName I still have 2 tattoos and 10 more planned

[HaveNoName]

Oh man !!! Please... Noooo... You blew it.. :(

[Zendrya]

@HaveNoName I don't live my life to make strangers happy

[HaveNoName]

Come on... Don't take it so seriously.. wow !!!

[Zendrya]

@HaveNoName Well when you answer a question like this you prepare yourself for hate

[HaveNoName]

Hunh? Ok whatever...

Bye. Glad to block you out.

Anyone who believes this needs to get cancer immediately. ugh, humans. not the smartest bunch

[Asker]

so the studies that show correlation mean the scientists should get cancer immediately? what about someone who wishes cancer to strangers? isn't she mentally disturbed? you are just proving what they say.

[Opinion Owner]

are you triggered? awww =3

[Asker]

proven. sadism is a form of mental illness.

[Asker]

and recommending suicide. definitely ill.

[Opinion Owner]

why so mad? i said good luck so manners are not a problem hehe =D

[FallOutBoy2001]

Yeah, no, you're a terrible person. Telling someone to kill themselves is disgusting behavior.

[NJ_Casanova]

I do think if it extreme.. and not just one to represents a life/special occasion there is something going on with that person.

Either it's a fetish they have, enjoy the pain, attention or just hate something about their own bodies so they sue tattoos to cover-up, distract the attention for other parts of thier body.

[JimRSmith]

I'm going to go with 'yes' and 'no'.

Most of it is just fashion, but some people appear to get addicted to it. So for the majority, it's not, but for some (mainly the ones who end up covered or who have weird piercings that make other people wince), it's the sign of a bigger problem.

If you're from some Russian backwater with social views still congruent with Pope Urban II from the Clermont field, 1095.

Or live in some charred plantation in the US with no neighbours within a 5 mile radius.

@Phoenix98 or @Eugene

(no offense guys)

Then the answer is a resounding yes!

[Phoenix98]

Um Levin I live in a town of 37,000-40,000 people.

And there are no plantations in Kansas a d in the countryside where the farms are there's only about 1 mike between you and your next neighbor..

[Eugene]

I lol'd :D

[Phoenix98]

@Eugene lol.

[FallOutBoy2001]

@Phoenix98 So, in your city, are there multiple mike's between everyone? Or do you all share one?

[Phoenix98]

@FallOutBoy2001 You mean someone named mike?

[FallOutBoy2001]

@Phoenix98 yeah lol.

You misspelled miles as mikes and I ran with it

[Phoenix98]

@FallOutBoy2001 O I didn't even realize I had lol I must have been typing to fast and no we have neighborhoods with lots of people close by and all that just like anywhere else.

[FallOutBoy2001]

@Phoenix98 haha

[Phoenix98]

@FallOutBoy2001 lol.

I'm not sure about mental disorder but I think there's definitely something emotional going on. Seeking attention or something. Depression?

I've heard people say "it's how they need to express themselves" which I'm not sure I buy. Seems like an odd way to do it to me but that's just me lol.

[kellytheman]

Absolutely not as long it not extreme like piercings places that should not be pierced not below the belt and have tattoos all over them. If u ask me its like a fashion trend for their body that is permanent. I have never had a piercing or tattoo and probably never will but I find them pretty sexy on a girl.

90% of women with tattooes and piercings anywhere besides their ears happen to be sluts, its not even a secret every guy who sees a tattooed girl thinks to himself "easy prey " and girls know this and dont mind.

[dogbert444]

Most piercings and ALL tattoos are a huge turn off for me. I can't think, for the life of me, why people have them. What good are they?

[FallOutBoy2001]

I'm pretty normal, and I don't think ADHD made me consistently want a tattoo.

I've got plans for a shoulder tattoo of a nebula, and I've already got two ear piercings

[FallOutBoy2001]

Also, maybe one crazy person doesn't mean that we're all crazy.

And which studies are the ones that show "correlation between tattoos, piercings and foulness" because I've never read them, or even heard of them

[coachTanthony]

Some women look really hot with tattoos.. there are plenty of stereotypes for people with tattoos. I would judge the person not the Ink. Just saying.

[Ironlak282]

I think there is an element of, is this person ok when it comes to tattoos as they are technically a wound. People with mental problems also like to injure themselves. It could be a sign of mental issues but their are many who are totally fine.

[FallOutBoy2001]

So is getting a shot, I suppose, or piercing your ears (which is deemed "normal")

[Ironlak282]

@FallOutBoy200 Your being overly sensitive most people with tattoos probably do it simply because they want them for whatever reason not because of poor mental health. Tattoos are also usually a much bigger and less nessecary wound.

[FallOutBoy2001]

No, I didn't mean like that. I was agreeing with you, haha

[Ironlak282]

@FallOutBoy2001 oh thanks, there's more to communication than just words, you lose that dimension on the Internet.

[FallOutBoy2001]

Yeah, that's the problem with the internet

[Katherine3110hun]

I doubt it. I have 4 mental illnesses and don't have any tattoos or piercings

[MarkRet]

When they don't know when to stop, that's when they have a mental disorder.

[HaveNoName]

Both thumbs up !!!

[SnowHearth]

I have a tribal tattoo, which I got when I turned 17 as part of a family tradition.

Having tattoos and/or piercings doesn't mean mental disorder.

[cth96190]

Anyone who has even a basic working knowledge of psychology knows that tattoos and piercings, especially on women, are a sign of mental illness.

[musicbrain5]

Even basic earrings? lol.

[meatballs21]

I think trolling has far more legitimate grounds for being called a mental disorder.

[Imhotep99]

Mental disorder? I don't think so. Piercings on the ears or nose are okay otherwise it's a huge turn off for me.
But are tattoos worth it? Worth the pain and hard work and money? Why and how?

[OrionH]

No... I am going to get tattoos in the future Most of my family of tattoos even my sister who is just a year older but she got a cross.

[OrionH]

Please tell me this is a troll because I am disturbed about this update.

[Asker]

she totally said that.

[OrionH]

😱.-.

[Mrwoo99]

They women with blue hair are a sign of mental illness or a radical feminist.

[cth96190]

Feminism is a mental illness, as well as cancer.

[FallOutBoy2001]

@cth96190 I just like the color blue.

[Mrwoo99]

Whoever likes their hair blue is definitely mentally ill lol

[FallOutBoy2001]

Oh well. If wanting to have blue hair because I like how it looks makes me crazy, then I'm crazy

[Anonymous]

It's often associated with sign of identity issues and wanting to stand out from the crowd.

[HawkinsPolo4]

I would argue getting one makes no indication of mental illness. It's a personal choice no matter how you look at it.

[Anonymous]

i wouldn't say mental disorder.. i mean, after all, women wear jewelry all the time, right?
