I don’t like needles, but (for some quirky reason) don’t consider piercing needles to be the same thing.
The reason I don’t have any piercings is I don’t respond well to metal - I can’t even wear a watch, unless it’s a leather or cloth strap that goes behind the back, without developing a rash.
Also no tattoos, hair dye, perfume, nail polish, or jewelry besides my wedding ring.
Still wearing a little bit of makeup though.
Guy here. No piercings, and no ink. I am not afraid of needles, but never had an interest in either one. About a year ago I started shaving my head due to natural hair loss, so no hair coloring to worry about. As natural as it gets, I guess. I pass no judgement to anyone who pierces, inks, or colors - each to his/her own.

…gave you trouble?
mmm
These days, it seems that everything my son is dating would require 48 hours advanced notice
to get in a MRI.
Makes me want to go Gunny Hartman on the little idiots.
This plus no fillings as well.
Unpierced guy here. No tattoos, no hair dye, not that much to dye anymore, I do have some scars but they were unintentional and not really decorative. I never wanted any piercings or tattoos so there’s just nothing else to say about it. I have no problem with people decorating their bodies if they want to, I just don’t.
My wife has pierced ears. Seems like the vast majority of women I’ve met who are my 91 year old mother’s age or younger have pierced ears, although my mother must have been in her 40s before she did it. I remember in 6th grade only 2 girls had pierced ears and their parents had them pierced at a young age, a cultural thing I think. Within a couple of years most of the girls my age had pierced ears, and a couple of years after that lots of guys were piercing at least one ear. Doesn’t seem like a big deal to me, and I can’t imagine women using those clamp on earring things.
Mostly you would probably never want to see the point. Especially when it is sticking out the other side. I mean, ick.
I only have pierced ears. No ink.
I did briefly consider having a coif tattooed on my, um, vast forehead.
Guy here, hope it’s ok to post - no piercings or tattoos on me. I like tattoos, but I never got around to getting one. A while back I realized that I had gotten enough bodywork the old fashioned way (by falling off stuff, getting hit by stuff or having doctors peek inside) that getting inked at this point would be anticlimactic.
I was somewhat surprised when my MIL got her ears pierced in her 60s. I’d never seen her wear earrings before then. When my daughter got hers done, her dad took her. I couldn’t be around it - I got woozy just thinking about it.
Like I said - wuss…
Both my daughters have pierced ears. My son has several tattoos, he got while a Marine. My oldest granddaughter has pierced ears. The baby girl won’t do it, yet.
A tattoo of eyes on your eyelids would be perfect! And scare the kids!
Needles don’t faze me, but I never for a minute considered getting anything pierced or inked. I don’t even shave. And I prefer my wife without makeup. My father preferred my mother that way and I got used to it. My son got used to the look and his wife doesn’t use makeup either. I don’t consider watches as that sort of adornment, but I disliked the feel of the band and started wearing pocket watches. I do wear a wedding band.
I didn’t think I counted here. But I see others claiming “unpierced” after not using their piercings and or letting them heal.
I had one ear pierced 30 years ago, and haven’t worn jewelry in it for 25.
Count me as you will.
No piercings, tattoos, dyes or makeup, ever. Just not interested. I’ve had all kinds of modifications done for medical reasons and tolerate it fine, but never felt the draw to do it for fun.
Other than a couple bullet and knife thingies none here either; no tattoos either. I appreciate the artistry and I like seeing them on other people but I just never felt the need to own one myself.
I’ve never had piercings or tattoos. Never wanted them.
I’m certainly not against other people having piercings or tattoos, though. I might like someone else’s tattoos and piercings, or I might not, but it’s not up to me to dictate what other people should do with their own bodies.
Guy here. No piercings, no ink. But I am from a generation where piercings were strictly limited to ladies’ earlobes (one apiece please), pirates, and Mr. Clean. And tattoos were for sailors and prison inmates.
Today it’s socially acceptable for men, but it has always been almost a requirement for women to have pierced ears, and somewhat unusual for them not to. In some cultures all women get their ears pierced when they are infants.
