Allen, you should come to a talk by our library director at GC sometime. Christine Whittington is an author and expert on tattoos. She's giving one of her entertaining and enlightening presentations today at 2 PM, in fact, for parents and students.
It's titled, "Holier Than Thou: Tales of Tattooing and Piercing".
I notice you reiterate your aversion to ear piercing, particularly. In the Renaissance, it was all the rage for the upper crust!

Jim:
I missed today's session. But maybe I'll take you up on that suggestion, and attend a future presentation. But she'll have to give helluva talk to change my mind about poking holes in my body and etching pictures on it. But, hey, who knows? I once wore cornrows.

Despite your brave siding with the cause of would-be gay recruits, is it possible there is some lingering fear having earrings would be too "effeminate" on you? I find everyone is absolutely insistent we should outfit our baby girl in pink princess garb and room decoration. I find the colors garish and not a little pepto-bismol. Plus, babies only see black and white for some time. I would be not be atonished to find that if she isn't over-exposed to the Disneyfied, bubble-gum world of Barbie-dumb(dom), she might well prefer plum and forest green, or mustards and soft rusty browns...

On the earrings, nah, they're not too effeminate. They're just not me. Heck, pirates wore 'em.
