She was clean": no piercings, tattoos, or scarifications. All the kids were now. And who could blame them, Alex thought, after watching three generations of flaccid tattoos droop like moth-eaten upholstery over poorly stuffed biceps and saggy asses?

About This Quote

I was born into a world that has become full of tattoos and piercings. I was brought up seeing people with their tattoos and piercings and now I'm stuck with it. I hate to say it, but it's true. The tattoos and piercings are everywhere now.

It's just another way to look stylish, but I can't help but feel that it's just ugly. The tattoos are even popular with the young children, which is just sickening. As for piercings , they look really weird on teenagers .

It looks so unnatural, so fake . It looks like someone poked an earring through their ear.
