Status: offline 		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.

Status: offline 		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.

Art should be on the wall.

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.

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.

Status: offline 		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!

Status: offline 		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.

Dude, you gotta get out more.  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.

Well you see, I go about my life in a different way.  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.

Status: offline 		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.

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

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.

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."

I'd love to see a sketch or a pic of the outline!

When I was a new yoga teacher and nailing down my music, I noticed that I was using predominantly Kali and Shiva songs.
