well, this might surprise some of you...
work is work, play is play, right? for the latter...
i wear 10 guage hoops (ears) and have tats (not visible). i was wearing two hoops in high school--and took all the sh!t from the other "cool" guys that were wearing just one. didn't give a sh!t then, don't now--even though people think that i'm an old geezer wannabe.
i can say for sure that when i meet a chick during school, consulting, or biz related activities, there's no way they would expect this from me. but, when we go out (play time), they're quite shocked! when the shirt comes off, shocked again. almost always it's a, "Wow, I would have never expected it from you..."
for me, it's a good balance (Libra). i don't care to show them to anyone however. it's my biz. many times, i'll go out with a chick for quite a while before she finds out about the tats. again, ain't none of her fukking business. the other thing is that they will ask, "what does this one mean". ain't none of her fukking business for now--i ain't telling some chick that i don't know very well, what they mean and why i got inked.
i also turn into a dorky pumpkin-head off hours. if i don't i will go mad.
now for Chewy, it's pretty clear you are thinking about getting nips and tats, not for yourself, but for others. wrong motivation.
