For decades, there was a strong resistance to smoothies amongst the nudist culture. Then, the Brazilian wax came into vogue.

Suddenly, smoothies were accepted. In most places, people with trimmed or shaven pubes dominate now.

When I first got to Germany in 2002, it was unusual to see a woman who shaved her underarms. Now, I never see a woman who let's it all go naturally. Most men have a neat trim going, too. Nearly a third are smoothies.

How the culture changes!

Now, there's all kinds of negative posts and rules about people who wear jewelry in their genitals. And the reasons are the same that were used against the smoothies 10 years ago. I don't see or hear much chatter against tattoos, though. The nudists don't seem to mind body-mod in principle...But, again, they're behind the mainstream in accepting genitals in general.

Hypothetically, would the tattoo on my shoulder bring attention to it? Sure it would. Would the piercing on my wife's labia bring attention? Sure. That's the point of decoration. We celebrate what we cherish. That doesn't mean I want some stranger to rub my shoulder or even to gawk at it. Is an ear lobe cleaner and more acceptable than a nipple or a genital area?

If so, why?

I think people are becoming open and expressing themselves more, when I first visited nudist resorts back in the mid-eighties you didn't see many tatoos and don't remember any piercing other than the ears now it is common place and some are ok and some maybe not but if its not being flaunted i'm ok with that, you only live once enjoy while you can.

I don't think people choose to have piercings and tattoos to draw attention to themselves. It seems to just be something they want to do to their bodies for themselves. However it would be nice if it was more often artistically and tastefully done.
Personally neither tattoos or piercings appeal to me.

However jewellery is an issue.
Mrs McNigel enjoys taking off her clothes, but always wears some jewellery, which can include pierced nipples. My theory is that she's not comfortable losing all the trappings of civilisation and I think that's considered fair enough for a woman, where decorating themselves is the norm.
I prefer to remove everything. I think genital jewellery on a man would be exhibitionism and frowned on. (She thinks I'm being boring.)

Live and let live, says I. For myself, I would never.

tatoos and genital piercings are gross. my opinion.

if you're not close enough to a tattoo from a distance it looks like a birth mark, a blemish on what otherwise would've been beautiful skin.

What you do with your genitals with an artistic touch is none of my business. As for myself, I'll forgo it. Some I have seen in nudist resorts is a bit painful to see. I did see one fellow whose penis looked like a spot where he hooked all his fishing tackle box contents. That was a bit much, even for my lackadaisical thought patterns, when I'm relaxed.

Snidely, you must go to very different beaches than I do. At both the Jersey shore and the Florida coast, over the past couple years, I have seen numerous tattoos and a few piercings. Most of the piercings I can see at textile beaches are belly-button rings; but I have no evidence to suggest that the incidence of tattoo art or of body piercings is any different at textile beaches or at nude beaches than it is in the general population.
As ThornApple said originally, it is evident that styles are changing. Doesn't mean you or I have to change along with them, but as Dylan said long ago, "the times, they are a-changin'"

Bob - My guess is that people who go to "structured" resorts might not be representative of society as a whole. At public clothed beaches you don't have much in the way of tattoos. Even at nude beaches like Haulover, except for a few exhibitionists wearing c--k rings parading around, you don't see an overabundance of tattoos or piercings.
Next time I'm at Haulover I'll make a thorough survey of both the clothed section and the nude section and report back.

I would think you are mostly correct. There is one exception I know about. George Schultz, the former Secretary of State in the 1980s, had a tiger tattooed on his butt. It's a bit hard to associate that with his lofty position in life, but he must have been a wild guy in his earlier life.

Gosh, snidely, what planet are you from? Tattoos have never been so popular. Witness the TV weekly programs. As for age, older people are now ready to do things they wouldn't consider in their youth. Look at all the movie people who have tattoos. As for piercings, I have had mine for almost 4 years and when I go to nudist resorts, mostly people look and comment positively. And people want to know what the experience is like. One nudist wanted to pass info along to his nephew. IMHO, your generalizations don't cut it.

If you consider people with a tattoo as low class, you have a real problem. We have friends from all walks of life that have them, teachers, managers, housewives, white collar and blue collar.My wife has one on her shoulder. As far as piercings go, I wouldn't have any but that's my choice. Does this make those that do low class? I think not! When we first became nudists we had no idea how many people had tattoos and piercings, if you have nothing in common with them good luck.

Boy Snidely you sure assume a lot. No one in the Fortune 500 has a tattoo, great leaders don't, I highly doubt that.

I have always considered a tattooed person - "low class" - and not someone i'd have anything in common with. The great leaders (political, science, literary, business, etc.) don't have tattoos - at least ones that would be visible. My guess is that no one in the Fortune 500 has a tattoo. Neither would any of the higher ranking jusges on various Courts.
As far as piercings, i would assume the same goes. Many young males go thru a phase wherethey get ear piercings. When they mature, they no longer make use of them - so unlike a tattoo, no permant damage is done. Some young women get piercings in strange places, but that jewelry also disappears when they mature.
I am not offended by an adult wearing tattoos or jewelry> I do conclude, tho, (and usually correctly) that they are not the sort of person i would have anything in common with on any level (intellectually, interests).
I'd be interested in a survey of the number of tattoos in the various economic and social classes.
I wouldn't count piercings unless they are still actively used.

I see nothing wrong with either tatoos or piercing ( I have neither)I couldn't imagine myself having anything pierced but I probably will get a tatoo. We have several friends that have piercings and on them it looks good. I would'nt call any of them exibitionists, it is just something they wanted.

At this time in my life a body piercing is highly unlikely . I have certainly noticed more of this going on with younger people these days and I guess it is harmless enough . As far as tatoos go I am considering one for the first time in my life . My son is USMC and headed for a tour in Afganistan . He has a sunburst on his upper back between his shoulders . Out of respect and love for my son I have the crazy thought of getting one too just like his . This would be very personal between he and I . He of course is all for this . Just the thought does make me smile a bit too .
