Naturist clubs not allowing tattoos or piercings
Return to DiscussionsI'm a biker born and bred and I belong to a motorcycle club. I have recently come out as a naturist thanks to my amazing friend and am thoroughly enjoying my new freedom which is wonderful. I have tattoos and my friend has piercings but we have found that we are not welcome at numerous clubs even though we are now members of BN. I have lost count of the amount of animals I have rescued in the last 30 years, both domestic and wildlife. Myself and my motorbike club have done over 400 charity toy runs for special care baby units in hospitals, pet food runs for animal rescue centres and sanctuaries, charity rock nights for Lancashire and the North East Air Ambulance and yet we are discriminated against for having tattoos and piercings. Bikers are some of the most lovely, peaceful, loyal and helpful people on the planet but clubs don't want us because of our tattoos and piercings. What a sad, judgemental world we live in.
I can relate to your situation. Many nudist groups in my area either ban or frown upon tattoos and piercings. Piercings below the waist on especially subject to scrutiny. Leaders still believe these piercings are sexual and draw too much attention to the genitals. I disagree, so I have not been to these clubs' events. I am hopeful their policies will change soon.
I've never had any problem with a nudist resort rejecting my piercings. My friend had a problem with a club, asking him to remove the metalwork. He simply moved on to another, more broad minded, club. my tattoos and piercings reflect my personality. If a club rejects them it's not for me - probably on all sorts of aspects.
