I find myself curious about where Nikki's tattoo is located. Shoulder blade? Lower back? A bit of mystery is intriguing. As for me, as I like to frequently change up even my jewelry options, I couldn't see my way to choosing any permanent marking.

Though I much appreciated the welcome from others, it's not like I blamed you for having moved on! Crushed, yes; slighted, never. <br /><br />(I realize that both these comments are too presumptuous for polite company, but hope that you'll both take them in the spirit in which they are intended, that NS is too enraptured by his mid-winter idyll to care, and that nobody else is visiting this thread anymore...)

It's now extremely unlikely that "body art" or "body jewelry" would ever end up being a "deal breaker". And how ironic that a liberal becomes more socially and culturally conservative in geezerhood. But I just cannot imagine kissing anyplace that contains a post, ring, ball, stud, or barbell.

Personally, I find both pointless and unappealing. But at least you don't need to blow your ear lobe, as with your nose. [Not that there's anything wrong with it - blowing ear lobes -- if that's your thing! ; )] That's what confounds me when I see nose rings, as I blow my nose multiple times every g-d day. <br /><br />"What today strikes us as weirdness might someday be seen as vision and guts." Ground-breaking weirdness doesn't qualify as vision to this stodgy observer, given that the result was simply weirdness becoming somewhat more commonplace. Harrumph!
