then may be attitudes to p and the emotional distress that it causes its many suffer's would change for the better and much needed funds would be put in to research to find a permant cure.
I hardly think discouraging people to have tatts or peircings will divert funds in to research on p.
Yes, tatts and peircings have become increasingly popular over recent years but I would prefer to think that this indicates are more tolerant society rather than a pure fashion craze.
I have three tattoos and 2 peircings all of which I adore, they mean incredibly special things to me and mark stages of my life. Whilst they are discrete and can be covered when I want I love to have them on show when appropriate.
I am lucky enough, in this case, that my p is on my hands therefore my tattoos aren't really affected.
When the p gets me down and I see myself with this ugliness that never goes away then I try to balance my view with the things about my appearance that I like and high on that list are my tattoos and my body jewelrey.
A tolerant attitude can reduce stress.
