Dear Tattooed/Pierced up customer

I realize that you feel the need to cover up the fact that you had terrible acne problems as a child (and for all I know, still do).  I realize that the 10 pounds of make-up just doesn't seem like it is enough to hide the craters all over  your face (and it isn't).

But covering yourself in piercings (especially those on your face and the rather prominent one that is in your tongue, you know, the one you made little effort to hide; I've known girls with tongue rings and never could see it all that well until they talked; why is it different with you?) and tattoos is not the way to go.  Let's be honest, it just makes you look even more trashy.

This is not to say that she was completely unattractive.  She didn't look horrible at all.  And it's not to say that people with histories of acne issues are ugly.  I worked with a girl years ago who was stunning, despite the fact that you could see where she had the problem.  But when you trash yourself up with tattoos and piercings, it tends to draw attention to you more than anything else.

Oh, and she was looking for Vicodin ES.

That may have been the kicker.

Why is it I see more people covered in tattoos and piercings getting narcotic pain medications than anyone else?  Or people who ride motorcycles for that matter. They seem to love their Percocet and Vicodin.

Just a thought.
