Navel piercing = outdated?

Yes, yes they are.

Plus it’s the only way to not freak out my family, I can easily hide my toes in my shoes.

Naw, yourself. I think that the future will trend towards greater social liberalisation, which in turn will mean greater levels of body modifications. Especially once we hit a point of technological capability that can offer such wonders as cybernetic limbs, implants and related ‘upgrades’. Plus, I think that the idea of a CEO of a multinational corporation having two fully tattooed sleeves is pretty cool, if only to buck tradition. I’m unskewered and undoodled myself.

I was talking about pointless and out of date fads like tats and piercings. Cybernetic implants may well be the wave of the furture, I know dudes who seem to have their Bluetooth implanted.

Definitely padded rocking chairs, for sure!

Us fogeys got tender hind parts.

And I know this is what all fogeys say, but baby, we’re still cool!

Rock on, Fellow Senior Citizen! :smiley:

Of course you are, honey. Someone get Grandpa **Creaky **a sweater.

:smiley:

Ooh, Dude, that’s harsh! :smiley:

I’m going to go soak my dentures now… :eek:

I got my first earring in 1992, when such things were just starting to become acceptable for straight males. I got a navel ring in 1996 when such things started becoming more popular and mainstream. I eventually took it out just because I got mine on the bottom of my navel so it rubbed uncomfortably against my underwear.

It’s no longer “the latest popular trend” but that doesn’t mean it’s outdated or unfashionable. It’s no longer “edgy” to get most piercings but that doesn’t mean they’ve gone away or become acceptable. It just means they don’t attract as much attention.
