I guess I am going to be the one that goes against what others think. I have reached a point in my life where someone else's hair, piercings, ear lobes, tattoos etc...are none of my business. We are all different and like to follow different styles. You are the one that needs to decide on what is right for YOU not me.

I have no ink (barely get a flu shot not going to have thousands of holes in one small spot), but work in EMS, so I am in the minority, almost everyone I work with young and old have some ink to full sleeves (and maybe more). Most are good people and trained to save lives.

I have no piercings, had my ears pierced as a child and kept reacting badly to the metals in the earrings never tried as an adult, but I tell my husband all the time if I ever get "flat abs" I am going to get my belly button pierced and wear midriff shirts and show it off, he isn't to worried! lol lol lol

I don't care what others do about tatoos or piercing except when they go to the point they can't work and need to be supported by tax dollars.

My hair is mid back length, and silver sparkles. My family grey very early and I have been nearly all silver since my early 40's. It used to be naturally curly now it is naturally "bad perm" looking so I straighten most days, and nearly always wear a pony tail at work (on the ambulance). I don't care how people wear their hair, I am always pleased when it is clean and parasite free. There are many styles I don't find aesthetically pleasing, but then it isn't my head.

Have had my hair colored blonde for a lot of years and this year decided to go to a color closer to my own. I love it.

It doesn't look like straw and it matches my eye brows! Laugh and the grey coming in makes me look like

Frankenstein's wife!

I have tried many hair styles in my life. The super long was fun, but gets caught on or in everything. The super short looked silly since I have a round head (think fuzzy basketball). I have very fine hair with waves where ever I sleep on it at night. If I wet it in the morning, it will be straight until I sleep on it again. I did try getting a permanent wave once done while I was in beautify school, but that is how I learned I have “glassine” hair (no cuticle, and cannot be permed). The results of the perm was a huge fluffy ball that I could not tame. Thankfully my hair grows fast since there was no way to undo the perm result. I always wear bangs since I have a huge wide forehead, and look weird without them. I hope I live long enough to see my hair go gray (I will be sixty in February). In our family you either end up with the thick wavy luxurious hair in dark brown to black (Dad had naturally blue/black hair), that starts going gray at 25, or you get the thin wispy “frog fur” that never seems to go gray. I got the “frog fur”. I have had way more than my share of bad hair cuts in salons (they always want to layer it to ‘free up the curls’) so now I just keep it cut in a gypsy that I do myself. I have colored it from time to time, but just do not want to fiddle with it anymore. I have always envied black women for their beautiful hair. So thick and soft, if it were mine, I would wear it in the natural style. I have always loved that look. Natural hair and classy earrings, beautiful. (This could just be my response to hair that is the opposite of mine, but I still see it as gorgeous.) Many of my family members have lots of ink. I never had the desire. I know me too well and I would get very bored with it and want to be done with it. I learned that about myself years ago when a dear friend did my hands with henna to practice the designs she wanted to do on her sister’s hands for her wedding. (It is a cultural tradition for them), and for three days I loved it, then I got bored with it and wanted it gone. Took weeks to wear off, which she had warned me about, but it drove me bats as it slowly faded away.

well said. I have not noticed any particularly messy hair styles. I do notice a lot of new colors, doesn't bother me. Not gonna waste my time "tsk-tsking" about "kids these days".

My Dad said there will be some odd looking old people someday......he thought it was funny.
I seldom pay attention to hair dos on anyone.....nothing to worry about.
Ink,dtto.

On the other hand,mens pants falling down showing underwear looks awful.We all have
our likes/dislikes ......that is mine.

I keep wondering what's holding them up. Or when the top of the pants is below the buttocks crease - what's up with that? (Obviously, n-o-t the pants! lol)

Changing your hair is the cheapest and sometimes easiest way to get a fresh new look. If the cut/dye is right. Right now my hair is the longest its been in years. I used to have fine but really thick hair. for years my hair has been thinning, not to where I was having bare spots but so thin that it always looked flat. Last year I started getting treated for IBSD, and now my hair is so thick. My daughter does my coloring when I do it, once or twice a year and was shocked how thick it had gotten. I told her that's because since I'm not running to the bathroom constantly the protein is staying in me and my hair is thickening. I love it, now if I leave it down I don't have to do anything except for brush it and it just looks fuller. One day I'll get bored and it'll come off but right now I'm enjoying it. I can wear it up or down so that's great. My daughter is 29 and experiments more than I do but doesnt go over the top. Her hair holds color, growing up she put koolaid in her hair,which normally washes out, she had orange hair for quite some times then she used a wash a way hair color and was stuck with it for months, she's more carefull now. Times just change, I think the color is not as wacky as it was when Cindy Lauper was more popular, everyone wanted to have pink spikey hair
