I remember pointing out to Ma that HM Queen has pierced ears ......... apparently that's different ... it's a requirement of the job ... Ma had an answer for everything duh
Mind you I did say that if God had meant her to have curly hair she wouldn't have to go to the hairdressers for a perm every six weeks or so ......... she changed the subject 🤣

My first OH absolutely hated the idea of pierced ears and when I eventually plucked up courage to have them done, he refused to talk to me for six whole weeks.
Merely @KT53's opinion, so nothing wrong with that. Wasn't there excess attention because people thought it was a knife, and were up in arms because of the prevalence of knife crime at the time? The usual media feeding frenzy

I still can't look when my missus is putting her ear rings in, or taking them out. We've only been married 40 odd years.
Yes, @Fairygirl, although it took me another 20 odd years before I finally had had enough. Looking back I think we were very ill-suited. On my wedding day, his own mother told me that she hoped I knew what I was doing because he had a terrible temper. I wish she'd told me before!!!!
It's sad @Lizzie27 - and a shame the mother hadn't told you, but there again - you might have thought she was just an interfering old bat who thought you weren't good enough for her son I once had a friend who said she knew walking up the aisle that it was wrong, but felt she couldn't back out at that point. It didn't last very long, but they had a son. That's always difficult when people stay because they think it's best for the child, but it really isn't. I don't know what happened because she moved away and I didn't have any further contact with her.

Are tattoos simply a form of War Paint ? Meant to intimidate the enemy ? I don't suppose that is the majority intention these days but some do find heavily tattoed ( sp ? ) people a wee bit scary. Talk to some of them when you have the opportunity ( I'm thinking of a lady cashier in a well known food chain ) and she was far more interested in my warm woolly jacket than beating me over the head Some tattoos can be viewed as inappropriate but as per @Dovefromabove , how many of us can claim not to feel embarrassed by something we have done in our youth. The only difference could be said to be that we can conveniently "forget" our mistakes whilst tattoos tend to be a bit more permanent
Does this jar with you too? .......... At the end of the morning sports news on the radio this week, one of the racing tips was for a horse named "Shoot to Kill".
To be honest, the name of the horse bothers me less than the fact that a serious and respectable news programme on national radio has betting tips every day. It always grates.
No piercings, no tattoos, don't die my hair, rarely wear much makeup. It's hard for the world to have to see me as I really am, but a bit of trimming doesn't honestly make much of an improvement so why waste the money?
Feeling sorry for myself today - dog's at the vet and they've told us to be prepared for the likelihood that we'll never see her again

@Lizzie27 - is that why you now have a 2nd OH?

I could equally say that my opinions regarding appropriateness are none of your business. That hasn't stopped you from commenting.
