And for being frank regarding peer pressure. I've felt all along that peer pressure has been more of a factor than some lead on to be. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->

    I think this one would be better on a related subject: Truth TV ads could they be any more awkward when sitting in a bar filled with smokers?

    Nicotine's a drug, and that would be an addiction.

    Let's hear about some tattoos, or even see some. :>

    I can't stick stuff through me, its not natural and I think it would hurt.

    Tattoos though, I wouldn't mind getting a small tattoo somewhere but I'd have to think long and hard what of.

    Tattoos aren't natural or painless, but I just meant its not normal to have stuff pushed through you ARGH THE PAIN. Makes me shudder thinking about it, the stuff of my nightmares. I can't deal with stuff like that. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    And tattoos look cooler.

    So, instead of having a needle pushed through you once to create a hole for a decorative piece to be inserted, you'd rather have a smaller needle pushed inside you a thousand or more times and ink injected under your skin?

    Just...just...wha?

    So I can't say I knew how tattoos were made. I just know you need laz0rz to get them off. Leave me and my fear of piercings and my other, newly founded, fear of tattoos alone.

    Well tattoos use a more standard needle that punctures the skin and injects the ink under the skin that sheds naturally. Piercings use a tapered, bladed needle, as opposed to being a puncture like a normal injection or like a tattoo, it slices through the flesh.

    I've not been inked yet, but i know a fair amount of people that have and also a few that do it, from what i've heard, with the exception of certain places where like those where the skin is tight over the bone, the spine, hip, etc, it's a relatively painless experience. But then again, tattoos take hours to do whereas a piercing is over in seconds.

    Mmm I only know one person with a tattoo, but its tiny tiny tiny little star, kinda crappy <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> He never complained about it hurting to do though, unless he's just trying to be hard.
