Had/have 4 holes in my ears, 2 each, but don't really get the chance to wear the earrings anymore, what with having a "respectable grown up position" at work. Have a few tattoos, nothing huge or intrusive though, thankfully. Thinking of getting rid of all but one or maybe two of them though.

MaxsBoy -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 2:25:48 PM)
Just the tongue pierced right now. I had my ears done (one each side) and a ring in my nose, but they're grown out now. I have one small tattoo on the back of my right shoulder - it's the Uffington horse layered over the Newgrange triple spiral. I also have a back piece in progress, which is just an outline at the moment but will be getting more work soon. It's a punk version of Kali standing on Shiva. Both my tats are very important religious symbols to me. I have at least one more in the works, but any new ink will have to wait until my back is done.

And piercings...well...I eat with a knife & fork so that should let you know. art doesnt have to be on the wall, art is an expression, and if a person wants to express it on their body then thats their choice. and i dont see how eating with a knife and fork has anything to do with piercings. Oh God, you're like a walking inspirational commercial. quote: Art should be in the soul and displayed wherever possible. So you're a klutz and that means you have your tongue, lips and cheeks pierced multiple times, right? You're right, art should be in the soul. I don't need some weirdo working in a roach-infested rundown building to visually express what I emanate already.

I currently have 4 tattoos (quarter sleeve of a branch of cherry blossoms, nearly a half sleeve of a koi, waves, and plumeria (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumeria) [photos: http://www.collarchat.com/m_3626223/tm.htm], 2 stars on my pelvic bone on either side, and a quote in latin on my left rib "Let them hate, so long as they fear") and i have 4 piercings. 2 in each ear- one in each ear currently stretched to a 0g.

XXMystiqueXX -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 3:03:28 PM)
Got my first tat over 30 years ago........ a rose on my shoulder because I was 18 and my mother threatened to kick me out of the house if I came home w/ a tattoo. LOL. A few years later I got a butterfly to impress the current boyfriend done below the pelvic bone. Third tat was done about 6 years ago... the kenji for "slave girl" on my right breast. As for piercings.... At one time I had 12... 5 in each ear and both nipples. It got to be a pain removing them each time I had surgery so that ended that. Currently I wear only a pair of earrings <G> Will leave all the other piercings to the young'uns!

I got my first piercings, one in each ear, in 1967. They were done with a needle & thread by an exotic dancer who danced with a boa constrictor. One had to be re-pierced in the dressing room by another dancer when the thread broke. I've gone as long as a couple of years without putting earrings in & they don't really close up. I shared a piercing in my right ear with my daughter, who got her left ear done. I got my first tattoo when the kid was 19, so 22 years ago. I have an affinity for flamingos, so it's a flamingo wearing red Lolita heart-shaped sunglasses. When I went to Hawai'i in the early 90's I decided to end the trip with a large piece on the back of my right shoulder, of a hibiscus vine & a multi-colored butterfly. When His Evilness collared me, he had me put an "M" on the back of my neck, surrounded by a little tribal & I got both nipples pierced at the same time. Last year, the ball fell off the left nipple jewelry & I took it out, so I'm kinda lopsided now. One day soon, I will get that re-pierced. I have plans for 2 more tats: One of a spider, probably a Golden Orb & the other a larger back piece, lower down on the left of a peacock with furled tail.

You are seriously sheltered/misinformed. Here in the States, tattoo artists have to pass a health inspection to get a license. Unless you're getting prison ink, most people go to a licensed tattooist.

Ink and holes,holes and ink,there is not better way to show the world what I think. Ears-six Tongue-twice Lip-snake bites Nipples Used to have one in my hood but for medical reasons it is gone now. Will be getting an anit-eyebrow done this weekend Dragon-left collar bone Dragon-left ankle Jaded heart and name by which most people call me-around the right wrist Rose-right hand Lighting bolt-right breast Star-left breast Star-upper right hip Son's name-upper left arm Am having work done on a phoenix now-lower left arm When your body carrys the kind of scars mine does,you turn it into art or you die.

While most people like to treat their bodies like sewers, I like to treat mine with respect. Tell you what, when you're 60 and all wrinkled out, we'll see how well that "self-expression" went for you. If I did get a tattoo, it would be a tattoo of directions to a laser removal center. Hahaha. Plus, they all look gross. It's such a turn-off.

SylvereApLeanan -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 4:41:47 PM)
It's a cultural thing for me. At least two branches of my ancestors (Aztecs, Celts) were pioneers in piercing and tattooing. As long as the body modifications are tasteful, I prefer alternative looks. They're just more attractive.

NocturnalStalker -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 4:43:50 PM)
And you striked me as such a classy girl! I am disappoint.

WinsomeDefiance -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 4:47:06 PM)
My ears are pierced, sorta. I have a strange body chemistry that seriously, and with a vengence, rejects damn near any metal I try to put into it (probably my Fae heritage!) For a short time I had my labia pierced - didn't last very long. I also had my upper ear pierced, as a requirement when I was collared to a house. When my ear swelled up over the piercing, they allowed me to remove it. Owie! No tattoos. I don't think I'll ever wake up with a hankering to have a bunch of needles power driven repeatedly into my flesh. Just not my thang, yanno.

TheShrew -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 4:47:58 PM)
5 piercings, 1 tatt.

Have you tried titanium or niobium? They work better for people with metal allergies or rejection issues. (Fae heritage, ftw!)

quote: ORIGINAL: LaTigresse I have each ear pierced once. Zero tattoos. I have no plans for additional piercings or any tattoos. I do not find the current trend of tattoos and multiple piercings attractive at all. What LaT said. Except... some tattoos/piercings i do find attractive and/or can appreciate the art in them. [:)]

NocturnalStalker -> RE: tattoos and piercings (4/11/2011 4:56:01 PM)
I think the smart person opts to not have their body disfigured. But I'll let you think about that when you're getting inked up by a gangly punk with a neon green mohawk and combat boots named "Carver." [;)]
