I never really cared for piercings. Hell, I don't even like having a belly button opening; I'm always scared that the thin layer of skin will split and all my guts will spill out.

As for tattoos:

Left peck: Japanese characters (Fighting the Sea)

Stomach: artisticly warped tiger paw

Left shoulder to elbow: Japanese character (Demon) on shoulder, snake eating it's own tail with Japanese characters (Satori Plague) in the circle on the bicept and tiger stripes filling in all of the empty space from the shoulder to the elbow.

Right shoulder: Very small Japanese characters (Tree Becoming Light). This is actually the first one that I got.

Right bicept: A tribal tigers head with the root of a tree for a spinal cord. The root has the words "Original Echo" in it.


All of them I designed myself. 'Demon' was a marking that the character Tamahome had in the anime Fushigi Yuugi. The snake eating it's own tail is a symbol for death and rebirth. 'Satori Plague' is sort of like the opposite of ignorance is bliss. Satori is the Japanese word for sudden enlightenment or kick in the eye. Tigers? I'm just a cat person. The other's would take far to long to explain, but they have to do with my philosophy on various things.

Piercings: both nipples

both ears

I used to have nose and eyebrow piercings, but I had infection problems with both due to the type or work I do.

Ditto on both. It wasn't pretty, either. :(

[~labrat]

I'm scared to death of needles, so I don't have any. I'm pretty strange as is, which means there's already have enough holes in my head as far as I'm concerned :laugh:

[~Efreak]

They say, if you wanna be unique -- don't get a tattoo. EVERYONE has them :)
Jamie

[~Jupiter 4]

Yipes. I guess that I must be old school!

I've got two tattoos, Phi Gamma Delta on my ankle (from frat days in college) and a runic cross on my bicep. Yikes, many many piercings=much pain!

[~eurotic]

I've got both nipples, 2 in my right ear and 3 in my left.

Just 2 ear piercings in both ears. One set is closed though because a dog bit me when I was 3 and the right hole got all scared up.

[Dizzyduck]

wow...so many hours of pain...thumbs up to all of you!
I'm terribly afraid of pain. I want to get a belly piercing but I'm still scared because all my friends who'd done it got infections for at least 5 months . And also you need killer abs, on which I'm still working :-(
I have 6 ear piercings (used to be 9), 7 of which I did each time I visited London. And I'm dying to get a tatoo, but cannot find an original one. Any suggestions anyone? At the moment I'm thinking either a comet's tail made of tiny blue and silver stars, or a swan with blue wings, but still can't decide.

[~Provision]

i have my tongue and right eyebrow piecred...but i plan on gettin both nipples and a PA done...

i have 2 tattoos..one on my back that is Japanese symbols for honor and glory..and one down my right forearm thats a tribel skull mask type thing...kidna hard to desribe... but i plan on getting alot more tattoos..

[~megaes]

No, i have not. I think, it's dangerous. Because many people can wrong understand the meaming of tattos/piercings

Wow!!! I'm impressed, thats a serious list of piercings you have there :)

[~schalana101]

I have 4 piercings on each ear (3 on each lobe, 1 on each outer ear, the cartilage).

Nose piercing (right side).

Belly button piercing.

I haven't had any problems with infections. I'm not getting anymore though. These are enough to take care of.

No tattoos.

[~SFARAH]

I think this was discussed a while back

Me no piercing....very scared....

Tatuajes:

My name in Arabic caligraphy from my heritage
A Maori sign from my years in NZ
a version of VNV logo so I wouldnt forget

Planning to get two more...I find it hard to find somebody to do a good job and trust on this one.

[~SynthezObserver]

Tat of Alphaville's logo on the shoulder!!

so always give'em a shoulder in that sense :)

[test]

i have The Crow symbol (the bird with the eyes in the wings) from the 1st movie underneath my right forearm and The Crow symbol (the bird with the skeleton inside) from the 2nd movie underneath my left forearm ... 2 piercings in my left ear

[~Tal`liyne]

I am clean...(tatooless..surprising really!!) ;)

I do admire however, the Maori tribal tatoos from New Zealand! I think a lot of their designs are brilliant! Also some Celtic designs are quite wicked as well!

If I were to get a tatoo though, I believe that it would be of the Corpus Delecti symbol in the small of my back...that or some Elvish verse...also the the small of my back!

Naught wrong with tatoo's in my opinion..just I'd be a bit fussy!

[seraphim]

<u>Piercing:</u> 3
Labret and 2G eyelets in ears. I had one other but my body rejected it and so it healed over.

<u>Tattoos:</u> 10
Neil Gaimans character of Death on my left bicep (Black and White).
Biohazard symbol on my right bicep (Black and White).
Einsturzende Neubauten Mensche on right forearm (Black and White).
Pfil from Bondage Fairies on my right shoulder blade (Black and White).
Pam & Pfil from Bondage Fairies being, well, friendly with one another on the back of my left calf (Color).
Descending Angel - Tribal on the outer part of my left calf (Black and White).
Anime/Hentai girl on the inner part of my left calf (Color).
Tribal band just above left ankle (Black and White).
Harley Quinn from the Batman Animated Series on the inner part of my right calf (Color).
Tribal work up the outer part of my right calf (Black and White).

Once I get my ears to a 0G, I'm pretty much done with piercing but as for tattoos, who can say when that will end. Heh.

[~cliffwalk]

My god, I am dilbert.

3 piercings, all in my ear, haven't had anything in them for EONS and don't plan on changing that.

Nothing against it. Self expression is self expression and I'm not qualified to be the fashion police.

I usually wear either jeans and a T-shirt or Khakis and a button down with short hair, clean shaven. My wife prefers me that way and I never really liked sleeping with my earrings in.

3 14g in lobe of left ear

the reason i asked is that there is a poet named nicloe blackman (that I am completely in love with) that has a poem that keeps repeating that line..she also did the poem with recoil...she's recorded with kmfdm, golden paliminos, skatenigs, etc...i highly recommend her if you like darker, powerful writing...

Now this is funny: http://www.angelfire.com/pa3/toplesscarwashdoc/tattooartist.html

Good for him! I hate the japanese tattoo trend. All of my Japanese tattoos are self designed and lines from my writing. They are all personal and have philisophical value. The idea of just walking into a place and picking something off the wall seems cold and non-personal to me.

[~rustcwc]

i have always found that odd...just walking into a parlor..pointing at the wall and saying "i want that on my body permanately, even though i just picked it off of a wall"....my tattoos are not meaningful to anyone upon looking...they all require more explanation than is probaby wanted...lol...

[~zoe]

I've always thought that way. The place I go to doesn't even have stuff on the walls, it's all custom and shtuff :)

That's awfully mean to put "prostitute" or "small penis" on people though :)

OMG!!! He's gonna get his butt sued, but I love him for it anyway. I dunno, I think it might be a hoax, but it's a good, credible, topical one though.

Who the hell is this guy to be judge, jury, and wrongful exocutioner over someone wanting his language on their bodies??? This isn't a case of him pulling a prank, he's blatently being racist in what he's saying about these students getting the ink done...I hope he does get sued, and lose his license (provided he even has one)...To me, if you dislike what people want on their bodies, you shouldn't be a tattoo artist to begin with...Anyone has the right to have what they want put on their bodies, rich "white" yuppie kids or not, thats irrelevant...Tattoes are a sacred somewhat spiritual thing to some people, myself included...If I get something on my body for the rest of my life I want it to really mean something...Every tattoo artist I've ever come into contact with takes their job very seriously...It's easy to see this guy is far from the real thing...

DAN

[~labrat]

OMG...I can't believe that guy is getting away with that sort of crap! :mad: You'd think someone would have at least kicked the stuffing out of him by now. I can't read Japanese, so I don't know if those characters are really derogatory messages, but I think this sort of falls into the "don't get someone's name put on you" category. If you can't read it yourself anyway (which would make the Asian characters more about the symbolism of the words), why not get something non-verbal which means the same thing to you?

[Avil]

Hm...I only have a very short list...

2 righ ear, 1 left ear
1 navel

And that´s all. I want an Alphaville-sign somewhere on my body...

And for the Prince Albert...(and everything else down there)....DOESN`T IT HUUUUUUUUUUUUUURT??????????????????????? And how about the S-E-X?!!!

[7red7]

I 've heard from both men who have their areas, and women as well that it can in fact stimulate them even more now, and sex is a lot more enjoyable...Then again it all depends on the location of the piercing...A few milimeters off, and the target zone is missed making it just another body piercing...Personally I can't speak from experience, I'd never pierce myself below my chest to find out if it really works :laugh: OUCH!!!

DAN

[Avil]

ooooooh SCARY!
Not that I wouldn´t mind doing one, but I just don´t feel like I have the time taking care another one.

[~rustcwc]

My Prince Albert didn't hurt..it was actually one of the less painful piercings (non of which have been unbearable, but my septum was the most painful)...as for sex....BIG BIG GRINS......adds an interesting aspect to things......

Yeah, I haven't spoken to my nipples since they rejected the piercings. Heh. And I had them done twice! Those ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤s!

Meh. I have all the piercings I want now as soon as I get my ears to a 0g. I think I'll stick to tattoos.

I talk to my nipples regularly, they love their piercings...I started at a 12g, but I've slimmed down to 16g now :p

But hey Chris, why not just derma-punch like I did, get straight to the 0g right away???-he he he!!! I've stretched already since too, I'm at 00g now!!! :D

You're a crazy man. Yup. Well, I thought about it a long time ago but the problem with derma-punching is that it's perminant. God forbid I ever get sick of my piercings and want to take them out and have my ears return to normal. Heh. I say that like it's something I'll ever want but I guess you never know.

[Avil]

Could someone please explain that 0g, 00g thing?????+

[seraphim]

0g = Zero Gauge
00g = Double zero gauge

Its the size of the jewelry. The smaller the number (gauge), the larger the hole (jewelry).

Thanks!!! I think I just may have reached a stopping point though...... minus a few surface piercings that I'd love to have..... right now I'm concentrating on *slowly* stretching my ears and saving more money for tattoos....


You guys are making me soooooo jealous with your 00g+ ears. Right now I'm taking it slow, just to see what I can get away with until I get a "real" job.... and until I decide just how big I want to go.... so far I'm thinking 5/8 inch??? Not sure..... but anything overly big would *not* look good on me....
