Peer pressure isn't it?
I once got friendly with this guy I used to see in the bookmakers and he had a lot of tattoos, he asked
me if I had any and I said no, then he said why not, so I had to think up excuses for why I didn't have any,
and of course they had to be excuses which did not offend him!!!
Boy was that tricky!! Every time I thought up one he would kind of knock it
down so I had to think up another again without offending him!
"I have a skin condition which makes me allergic to needles"
"I am a Jehova's witness"..
Wish I had thought of those at the time, I think I ended up saying I thought it would affect my employment prospects
Dunno if that went down too well.
