Perceptions survey...?

When you see a person with multiple tattoos and/or piercings, is your first reaction a negative one?

Why or why not?

Being an inked person myself, I was just wondering how other people felt about it.

    I actually find it fascinating to see someone with multiple tattoos or piercings. More so tattoos because you know that each tattoo has a story behind it. I think that people have the freedom to do choose whether or not to get inked up, as long as they know the long term effects of it. However, if that person was acting obnoxiously or rudely it doesn't matter if they were tattooed or not. It would still be negative.

    Negative. But only as far as mainstream business goes. In other aspects, I am neutral. However I think a person's natural skin always looks best.

    While I'm sure they may be nice people. I also assume that they are most likely too independent, and not very responsible. If I was in human resources, I would probably think twice about hiring them.

    FIRSTTLY, i know you shouldnt judge people etc etc

    but, i have to say, i would subconsciously have a negative reaction.. i would probably assume they were a bit wayward.

    especially on a girl. if its a guy i dont mind. if it is a girl i find it a massive turn off.

    but then again i used to go out with a girl with a tatt and she turned out to be really nice.

    Nah, I'm just a little surprised at how many tattoos/piercings there are.

    Indifferent. Me having a negative view on someone is entirely on their personality.

    nope i'm more curious than anything else

    I always find tattoos interesting I always want to know what they are, why people got them, the meaning behind it, all that jazz. They're always a good conversation starter too.

    i dont judge them this or that, based only on the fact they may have a lot of tattoos/piercings.
