I've never really gleaned their opinion of it, but I'm pretty sure it's close to what I think. I think tattoos are generally a bad idea unless you've got an insanely good design and are getting it somewhere inconspicuous. Very low gauge piercings are generally fine since they'll usually close up after removal, and even if they don't they're not going to leave a large impact on that area.
I have two sets of piercings and no tattoos.
