Just wondering. So what do you think? And do you have any and why did you get them.
 
I don't really have any particularly strong thoughts about piercings... they can look pretty good if they're done right, but there's a point when it could be considered... too far. My friend recently got himself an... um... Prince Albert, and *that* is too far (for me). Strictly speaking he wasn't supposed to have sex up to 6 months after it, but 2 days later that went out of the window :p

As for tattoos, I do quite like the arty designs, ones that have some significance to the person who has it; though I am not too fond of those huge pieces that cover huge tracts of skin. I also don't get why people choose to have tattoos of famous people on themselves, they always looked strange to me... but then again, it's entirely up to the person themselves.

I'd quite like a tattoo myself at some point, though I'd have to be pretty damn sure it's a design I want, with some significance to it. Nothing cheap and cliché basically.
 
I have a blue bunny on my shoulder.
 
When it comes to tattoos and piercings I just think of what it would look like when you're old. (when you're wrinkly and whatnot) Yeah, that speaks for itself.
 
I can't stand gauges. I'm okay with some tattoos (though I wouldn't want to get one due to all the problems that come with them), as long as it's not excessive. Piercings -- same thing, but no tongue/nose/eye/lip piercings.

My thoughts exactly.
Whenever i think about tatoos and piercings i have to imagine a 70 years old grandma on the beach in swimsuit with tatoos all over her wrinkled body and i have to hold myself back from throwing up.
 
I don't have any but belly button rings on girls are hawt :)
 
I don't mind what other people have or do with their own bodies, but I have to say that over 9/10 of all piercings and tattoos look like s***

Well, some tattoo looks awesome and is a great piece of artwork. But I wouldn't want one.
Well, Just Imagine Grandpa / Grandma with hell a lot of tattoos and piercing.
 
Not a fan of tattoos (when your skin starts turning for the worse, you'll see why). There is only one exception to this in my book: if the tattoo is the emblem of the branch of the military that you were in, then it is perfectly alright and you should have the ability to do whatever you damn well please (but please don't break any laws).

Piercings- on the whole not a fan.

Good: On the ears. The standard piercing is good (formal occasions), and I don't mind a piercing on the upper part of the ear as long as one does not put rings in it. Upper ear for me should remain a simple stud if said person wants to get a piercing there.
Bad: Lips, belly buttons (sorry TH!), more than two on either ear, nose (the one stud on one side can be cute, otherwise bad).

^^ These are my views, don't mean to offend anyone :) .

It should be noted that both piercings and tattoos can be removed/heal. When left unoccupied for a period of time, piercings will naturally close. Removing tattoos however requires laser surgery that burns the pigment out of your skin. In case it isn't already clear, this hurts quite a bit.

Depends on the tattoo and the piercing. Prince Albert would be unbelievably painful and I do not see the point in it. Ears, belly buttons, and such I find alright. Snakebites, that stupid fucking Monroe piercing and such I dislike.

I would like to get a tattoo, but the only way I get one is when I know for sure that I want it and that I have enough money saved up that it won't take all of my savings. I hate when girls have that star behind their ear, it most likely means nothing to them and it can't be to show off since it's behind your ear. Stuff like that is a waste imo
 
I don't really get the argument that tattoos look bad when you're old. It's not as if most people turn out to be hunks when they get olds anyway :p
 
@Zakyath Typically when you get older, your skin starts having more impurities in it (more wrinkles, etc.) which affects the visual appearance of tattoos.
 
tbh i think when you of that age your appearance wouldnt matter to you at all...

but i do plan to get a tattoo on my right shoulder somewhere in the future :D

I don't think you follow. Typically when you get older, you're not especially hawt without tattoos either.
 
Its no arguement which is objective, not even remotely.
Its not about what it will look like when i am old, its more of the general thought of old people with tatoos that somehow dont go very well with me.
Its not like i would be pointing at old people with tatoos and tell them how much better they would look without the tatoos.

    Or even third party. Like if you don't have an original one in a functional condition, you cannot play this game properly. Like yeah the keyboard mods exist, but I think those are BARELY functional
  • Varine Varine:
    And since almost all of my programming experience is with defunct shit now, I figure my best place is helping preserve legacy stuff. Which I don't know how to do necessarily, but I need some kind of a hobby and figuring out how older things worked is the only shit that really interests me. Well soldering and restoration is fun too, but no one is bringing me new stuff to fix and restore, so it's mostly old shit, and I LOVE OG Xbox so much. I want to make sure it can function as long as possible, until someone can effectively emulate it at least. I have like 15 I was going to fix over the winter and didn't get to.

    I also have a couple OG gameboys, but idk if I can do that without like, manufacturing new parts that no one makes anymore and I can't do that right now

    Yeah Tom, me too sorry for your loss buddy my mom told me she finds out her olds friend died from Google searching them. She had not talked to one of her old friends in a year and found out she died from Google. Also another one in the same session. RIP all of them my sincere condolences Tom

    We have some elderly guests that regularly come hang out at the bar at the end of the night, and every once in a while we don't see someone for a few weeks and then someone shows up with their obituary.
  • Varine Varine:
    We usually let them do their memorials there in the morning if they want to and I'll make them some snacks and drinks. There was one guy named Tom that came in like every night and would sit by himself and get a bunch of soup and a glass of wine. idk why but he LOVED our fucking soup, like he would order a fucking quart of it at a time and would always get so sad when we stop doing it for the summer.

  • Varine Varine:
    But he also loved our calamari, which is another thing I hate but it sells super well so I can't change it. There was one day he came in and was asking me how to make it, because he tried to at home once in the off season when we stop running it and he really wanted it lol
  • Varine Varine:
    I think he's one of the only people I've made recipes for for free because he really wanted a broccoli cheddar, and it was like dude I don't have a recipe, it's just whatever I have, but here, this is how you do it
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think he ever figured out how to do the calamari in a pan though, like idk how to do that either. He was afraid of the at home deep fryers though and it's like yeah, that's fair, I am too
  • Varine Varine:
    He was just such a sweet old man, we had two servers pregnant and they held a baby shower together, he was soooooo fucking excited to get to see a baby. Unfortunately he died a month or so before they were born
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So I decided to Google some people that I had not seen or heard from in a while and sure enough one of my old best friends, we had a falling out years ago but whatever, find out he died of Pancreatic Cancer in January. I have also lost a few of my closer acquaintances from growing up the last year. Getting old - people die - I kinda thought it was going to be this way a few years ago....

    Forum running super slow again
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not really clear from the stats as to what is causing the slowness.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    We get a lot of guest traffic so it may just be the load is getting too high and not from any particular source.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks like the server is maxed out on CPU.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Oh it looks like a lot of the traffic is Silkroad Forums. That domain isn't protected by Cloudflare.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    But the old Silkroad site is still on its own server. I just had a test site set up on this server for it.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I just disabled that test site. Let's see if that helps the load.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Looks much better already.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I had actually forgot about the Silkroad site. I had asked
  • The Helper The Helper:
    SD Ryoko about it and he said the couple of people left on there really like it, that was a few years ago, maybe I should check back
  • jonas jonas:
    I guess when you're getting old, and the last day of soup season draws near, you start wondering
  • jonas jonas:
    will I make it to the start of the next season? or was this the last time I'll ever have my favorite dish?
