Rampant lower back tattoos, belly rings, overly-enhanced breast enhancements, and dudes like the ones in the pictures you're about to see.
I can't wait to see what this generation is going to look like old.
Or maybe I can.
I think I can.
It's not going to be pretty.
And the award for most ugly future old person, goes to THIS MAN (OR WOMAN....I CAN'T REALLY TELL!!!):
*thanks to the friend who forwarded the email with these pictures in it to me. I couldn't eat for the rest of the day! But I'll echo the sentiment expressed in the subject line of that email: NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT YOUR KIDS AGAIN! (.....unless of course one of these people was your kid. Then, congratulations! He or she is just lovely. You must be so proud :) !).

Thanks, I have been meaning to get back on a diet. Eating is not an issue now!
Oh my word; what were they thinking... were they thinking??

My absolute favourite must be the nose thing?? What was he thinking??? Can a nose be repaired after this?
I have told my kids that I will not allow them to have any tatoos or piercings, hopefully they'll listen to me for once....I might even show them these pictures!!
Have a nice week.

Yuck. I feel so beautiful!
I have gotten this email. And I just don't get it. At all. Especially that guy with the inserts under the skin of his forehead. I wonder what they are all trying to prove??
I've always wanted a tatoo, but I saw a guy once who obviously had been in the Navy in WWII, and got the traditional anchor tatoo... and then got old, and things shifted, and it got all... weird.
So there was NO WAY I was going to put something on my body that was going to be there for the REST OF MY LIFE without knowing DANG WELL I would want it there forever... I just could never think of anything I liked THAT much...
Well, now I know what I want, and I'll put it in a place that should it deform and fail, no one but me (& mr. B) will know....
The peircing thing... ew....
Oh, it's my pole song. And you have a shoutout on my blog today. Because of this song. Yep.
I'm not eating for the rest of the day, either. Just so you know.
One word comes to mind.
"SNAG"
ouch!
frightening.
Icky....very, very icky. Do you wonder how the guy with the gauged nose piercing does when he gets a sinus infection? Or how the ones with all the lip piercings eat. Hmm...
This is all just too creepy! CREEPYness. Why. Why? That's all I can think.
You are right they will pay for all this nonsense! :0
There just really are no words....
Scary...I would have to kill my son if he came home looking remotely like any of that. You can;t even really tell what they look like.
What a way to start my day. I will never complain about my son whose hair is just barely over his ear or his lack of tattoos.
One of my friends was considering a tatoo. Then she imagined her grandchildren saying, "Grandma, can we see your tatoo?" And she quickly changed her mind.
Can you just imagine all the old people with floppy ear lobs just dangling in the breeze. We used to complain about jiggling arms, that's nothing compared to what these people are going to have to deal with!
I don't even have to look (I already know it) for the answer.......:)
OK, erase that comment. It was supposed to be on another blog. Urg. I'm a moron.
But, on to your post. You didn't tell us to bring our brown paper bad along.....that we might need it upon viewing. YIKEs. I can't imagine what they'll look like....
um...i think that i am almost speechless.
it is funny that you should post on this very thing. i was just helping out with hot lunch at collin's school last week with a lady that had those earlobe spreader things and i was thinking that i wonder if she realizes how ugly that is going to be when she is 60 and not wanting to look like that any more...you can always take earings out of your ears, but not HUGE holes!
obviously there is wisdom in our prophet's counsel to be modest (even in peircings!)
OWOWOWOWOWOW! I'm a very visual person with a vivid imagination. I absolutely CANNOT imagine what would possess people to DO this to their bodies!
EEEW, EEEEW, EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!
I think they're just going to keep the plastic sugeons in business when they decide they don't really want to look like this anymore.
Honestly though, every time I see someone like this, it makes me sad. I think, most often, when people do radical things to their appearance it's because they don't want people to see "inside" them.
Ugh! Cringe.....
I got that email once. I couldn't eat, either. And they look so proud of themselves, too. How the heck do they get through the metal detectors at the airport? I'm glad I don't see people like that in real life too often because I stare like a 4-year-old with morbid, can't-tear-my-eyes-away fascination when I do.
Those are some of the most horrible pictures I think I have ever seen. It makes me hurt...ouch ouch ouch. How do they do it?
Oh my. I think I just threw up in my mouth.
I second LeeAnn's first 3 words! Blech...gives me shiver...that one with the ... things? in his forehead...? Seriously disturbing!
these people need so much attention. i wonder what happened in their childhoods. JON
Ew.
Heyyyyy, I just noticed something! This song! I listen to it all the time..I love Muse, they have some great songs.
All I can say is "OUCH!" How do they wipe their noses? And that neck one, ugghhh...it really makes me squirm. I watched a Discovery special once on people that do this to themselves and the "artists" that do it aren't allowed to give them any type of numbing meds because it's considered "mutulation of the body". So those ridge things under the skin are done while they are fully awake and not numb. (I'm gonna go out on a limb though and say I'm sure they're not drug free.)
Yep, I got this e-mail too and showed it to the kids. I love when the lesson is taught and no one has to say a thing.....
Hope you had a fun weekend.♥
I found myself staring at the photos with my mouth open. Seriously? People do that to themselves? Oh my...
Hey thanks Jen! You've so totally made my day, because I TOTALLY feel like a BEAUTY QUEEN after seeing those, uh....pictures.
Wow.
wow.
it is sad, but you do bring up a good point--all this is going to be sagging some years from now--as if they couldn't get any stranger looking!
I don't even get it. Why? I guess they really, really want to be individuals. But you are right, they are ugly now. What happens when all that individualism starts to sag? Yikes!!
Thanks for these disturbing pictures.
Seriously though, I have wondered what these people are thinking, in terms of the future and what will happen to their bodies in 30-50 years.
And from an insurance standpoint, will underwriters start to exclude or limit coverages based on tattoo and piercing status??? It could happen.
Time for supper!!!!! I'm feeling such a healthy appetite thanks to those pics.
:)
Um...yeah. How about those forehead expanders? And if I were to permanently attach a corset to my person, it wouldn't be on my neck.
GROSS! a 50 yr old woman walked into my office today with a diamond stud on her upper lip....my 15 yr old tells me it's the Marilyn Monroe look......RIIIIGGGHHHHTTT!
Ow, OW, EEWWWWW and UGH!!
I just found your blog and have enjoyed looking around. :-)
I still cannot understand why these people would consider what they have done to themselves to be attractive. We are going to have some scary people sitting around in the nursing homes in forty or so years.
omg omg omg omg.
The first guy, the ties on this throat...I'm going to be sick.
Are you serious????? I don't even know what to say!
Why do people feel the need to destroy their bodies this way? Ugh.
Interesting take on it, though. They will be old people at some time. :)
Ok, I am not one to judge (much)but I don't get this stuff at all.
I like different people! They make me feel better about myself!
OH.MY.WORD. That is hideous and I must move down the screen now!
AWESOME!!!!!!!
How glad am I that I didn't get that sun tat back in the day? VERY!!!
Crikes! This generation is going to be the hole-ist one when they are old! Perhaps they'll be a kind of donut generation - more holes than flesh...
All I can say is scroll fast. They dont' get any better the further down you go on this post.
That is hard on the eyes.
I agree this could be a good diet plan.
♥
Joy
That post should have come with a warning sign! I really don't like putting something so vile before my eyes. I sure scrolled fast and will not go back for a second look. And God loves them and wants them to be saved. Oh God, help me! I just feel such revulsion....
EEEEEEEEW.
You know? I've seen most of these people on television doing interviews, and they always say, "I don't know why people can't just look at me for what's on the inside, and not judge me for my appearance."
I, of course, spent days thinking of perfect rebuttles to the obvious. Why can't I seem to combat what seems so OBVIOUSLY wrong? Why?
May I take my soap box, on Jennifer Petersons blog? Uh Ummmmm.....Thank you Jennifer for this great opportunity!
The only thing I finally came up with that wasn't even close to recieving accalaids was this: I thought, "If men dress in police uniforms to tell who they are, and other people (who shall remain nameless) wear skulls and crossbone tatoos on thier faces to tell the general public to "STAY THE HECK AWAY FROM ME", why shouldn't we, as humans, get to use our judgement to protect ourselves? If I see a man walking into a bank dressed from head to toe in black, I'm not going to think to myself, "Oh, I shouldn't judge".
I'm a judgin', YEP, I'm a judgin'.
We dress to tell stories of who we are (police, firefighters, etc.) I think that instinct, to judge, has been given to us to protect us. We can even tell (for the most part) when someone is angry, happy, sad, or friendly by the look on their face. Why shouldn't we use this same judgement for the person(s)who pierce their bodies into horns, and holes?
....patriotic music starts to play in the background....
so for all of those people who say, "don't judge a book by it's cover" should not be so hard on us who do. I will judge the creepy guy lookin' at me "that way", I will judge the hooded sweatshirt guy comin' into the laudromat without any dirty clothes to wash, and I most certainly will judge person(s) with self inflicted holes and objects on thier bodies. It's a form of attention getting, and way to "be mad at anyone who doesn't accept me" behavior.
I won't stand for it....I won't.
Argh, I say, argh to people like that....and take your show somewhere else.
Crickets chirping...
Hey (tap tap tap...on the computer screen) where did you all go?
Oh all right....Miki is seen walking away from the podium and noone is in sight....
;)
