Of course a better way to prevent drowning would be to learn to swim, I guess...
I don't really go for tattoos either, but as others have said, it's personal choice.
I thought about having an ear pierced awhile ago, then possibly my eyebrow, but never got round to making a decision, so never bothered.
I have never worked out why people have their tongue pierced though...
