Hey Simmers! I'd like to discuss an Idea for a new game or stuff pack that I think would be a great add to The Sims 4. One of my favorite components of the sims is the ability to fully customize your characters, but as a person who loves tattoos and piercings i really don't think we have enough options for them so here's my pitch, Body Art pack.
For basic game play I feel there should be a tattoo parlor and once your sim arrives they would speak with an artist, walk into a room for tattooing or piercing and then the CAS menu would pop up. After you chose the desired tattoo or piercing for your sim there is then an animation where the artist sits them down and begins the process. For a piercing they would sit and and the pierce-er would prep the skin and then pierce the sim, once that part is over the sim will get up and do that spin thing like when they're changing outfits and then they have the piercing. For a tattoo they could sit the sim down or lay them down depending on where they want the tattoo and it could build up like a painting does. After the desired body art the sim could have different moodlet. A sim who has never got any piercings or tattoos could feel tense afterwards from the pain for a couple in game hours, and a sim who has gotten them before could feel happy or confident. I also think there should be a skill bar above the artists head to determine costs, a higher level sim will charge more for a tattoo or piercing. It would also be neat to add in a couple interactions such as "Show off tattoo" or "Boast about Piercings"
For build and buy mode there should be more alternative styled furniture and they could have the ability to look at artists portfolios, proper chairs for tattooing and piercing, there should also be stations with tattooing or piercing things on it such as a power supply, tattoo ink, a tattoo gun, sterilizing products, rubber gloves and of course needles. Being that the sims is rated T I don't see an issue with this simply because in recent culture it is very common for teens to be interested in tattoos and piercings, but if for whatever reason they just cant put needles into the game maybe they could have a sort of ray gun to perform the task and a booth with a curtain (sort of like the closet) where the curtains might wiggle a bit and then the sim walks out with a piercing.
As for CAS I think this would open up a TON of options for customizing your sims better. I know that there are quite a few of the tattoos I like in the game already but I don't like how my sim probably has the same tattoo as another sim. They could create lots of new tattoos, and maybe even create a few different ring styles for different piercings. Like for a septum ring they could have a basic ring with the two balls or they could come up with something a little more fancy like a clicker with jewels on it. There could be different styles of nostril piercings like a basic stud or a hoop ring. There are tons of possibilities for this particular pack idea.
I also think that a pack like this could open up an opportunity for a new career choice. They could become a Body Artist which could branch off between pierce-er or tattoo artist. They can have their own practice stations as well, like a mannequin head for piercings and, a table with all the tattooing supplies and practice skin and build up new piercing or tattooing skills.In addition to all of this I it would be important for them to level up the painting skill being that drawing is very imperative for a tattoo artist.
There's probably lots of other things that could be added to game play on this but I think that this bit right here would be a good start. Let me know what you guys think! I'm very curious to see the type of feedback I get on this!
You mentioned the chemistry system from The Sims 2, but it also reminds me of the Hot Date EP for The Sims 1! 
I can see flirty Sims doing this, or doing this to other Sims who are flirty, but never to those who are not! 
Your suggestion should fix that!

Thanks for sharing, and Happy Simming!
