Piercing: between motor powered fun and all the other stuff/metalwork I get up to it looks like I already have more than enough or at least have the potential to get a decent collection of internal body jewelery to warrant the trouble of getting some on the outside.
On others, indifferent really although having been regaled with stories from those who worked in applicable areas of medicine I think I will steer clear of the more exotic.
Tattoos: I grew up with/tend to hang around with bikers so that sort of thing is pretty much what I have seen since I can remember.
This means it is pretty much skulls, bikes and pagan/celtic/slavic esque pictures (sometimes with a "cartoon" twist and on occasion with an american indian influence) and almost always with lots of colour (aside from the very simple stuff).
Spiderwebs in eastern Europe I later find out tend to associated with prison ink so some amusing situations happened when appearing there (especially in some smaller villages, ironically others were the complete opposite).
Anyhow if done well I quite like them (badly done kanji/hanzi/tribal are a source of amusement when sitting in the pub garden/park/beach/mountainside) but funding (without getting into the "scene proper" around here there are three decent people, now two since one dried up (I suppose that is a new twist on piss up artist) and they are damn expensive (worth it mind you)) and general "what to get" issues mean I sport none of my own.
I quite like some of the ritual scarring though and have seen some amazing work when that is combined with more "traditional" methods (used as a "colour" of sorts as part of a dragon that would put a yakuza to shame). It looks like a family crest of sorts (there are several to choose from it seems) is to appear once my little brother gets old enough though.

"in a way that startles or disrupts the majority of society"
I fail to see how some ink or metal disrupts society. Quite in fact public use/display of religion has caused me and mine far more hassle than anything like that ever has.
I have long hair (supposedly not done on males) and tend to wear things that cover my face (equally not a societal norm I am told, for the record it gets cold at night and a scarf or similar is almost essential), where do I fit?
"she has four tattoos (very cute and funny motives)..And I"
With no intention to sound like a bastard (my Croatian/Serbian is non existent if we are going that route) that made me smile (motive while probably being technically correct/acceptable, if slightly archaic, here the word is usually motif with the plural motifs for the word for pattern/picture with meaning).
And just for giggles the "story" of what will happen 50 years from now
"Grandma, make some more spaghetti from the mashed potato".
