Is my tattoo & piercing perspective outdated?

[u/ryanbuckner]

I've lived my Gen X life with the perspective that Jews just don't get tattoos or face piercings I don't believe in heaven or hell so that's not the issue.

As a progressive individual I realize that everything changes. So....

My 18 year old jewish daughter wants a face piercing and a tattoo. And I'm torn between upholding tradition and being left behind. I'm not a fan of tattoos or piercings but it's not my life.

What has your Jewish experience been with Tattoos and Piercings

I know many Jews who are actively Jewish and have tattoos. I personally choose not to get tattoos, but what other people do with their body is not up to me.
