Piercings or tattoos, anyone?

Now, you see, I know what it’s like inside a pornographer’s trousers. I enjoy the conversations around and with the ‘patient.’ I am very, very, overly protective of those that I love (not, never, horrors, ‘possessive!’). Willing to take the bullet, ya know. Making sure that the colors don’t run.

I know what I want on my right forearm, I’ve seen photos of other tats of same, but I don’t know how to say ‘this!’ when I’ve no photo or illustration. I want a delicate tat of barely open labia/vulva. I don’t do porn but maybe there’s a website specializing in genital pornography? I’d like it to be so realistic that no one would have to ask, ya know?

I am old! I don’t have the crepey skin, yet. No fat or hanging/sagging parts. I’m guessing that I’ll be dead long before that! Perky tits/nipples! Funny thing, that. As I grew older my partners were younger - at forty I was with a 19-year-old - but, at 58, with my primary partner having just turned 59, I find her slender body even more interesting now than I did at 16! We parted - I left her behind - but we stayed in touch with one another. Last night I found a letter from her, “Sunday nite, 1978”. One of the few surviving. She kept all of my letters (I went to college armed with an Underwood and Selectric but I purchased a sleek Olivetti upon arrival so I have no letters-by-hand at all) but won’t allow me to see them. She is, rightly, afraid of my purple editing pen. She teases me - Nancy is an eternal tease! - reading me paragraphs over the phone.

Um, christ, O can’t stay on-topic. Oh, yes, tats and aging. Mmm, no, that doesn’t worry me.

And the old-folks-home? Been there, on the mental ward. Nurses, aides, etc., helped me take care of my ear and nips. They thought it so cool. Gosh, same for three years in real-life mental hospital.

The older I get, the more mentally stable I become, the steadier my sense of well-being, the fewer regrets I have.

Mmm, Kentucky. I have two ex-girlfriends in Kentucky. The freckled redhead followed me to London but tired of the scene and moved back to KY and married and adopted her husband’s three children. I lost touch with the other. I wonder, though, if, in their dotage, they would disapprove of tats? Neither complained of my piercings.

Tattoos/Piercings/Sex. Is there anything sexual about a wolf howling at the moon? Anything sexual about the coast of my beloved homeland? Er, maybe. I don’t know. I’m no Freud and this is no Fellini filming a train entering a tunnel.

So, vulva on my right arm and do I simply pose with pride for the inking on the left? Hmm. I’m gonna do the nostril... that’s easy, something that I’ve thought of for years. And my queer-pride symbol is a go.

But other tats? Where in the world does one shop for nice vulva???

Ooo... gotta have a snack, now!

No, never had a cold. Never had the flu, I guess. What I described as ‘flu’ was a stomach virus, I think. I ate what I pleased until I was diagnosed with diabetes. I ran when I had legs. Lucky? I dunno - I’ve all these other genetic diseases!

No, I meant nostril. No cartilage there! Both of my ear piercings are high cartilage - no lobe at all.

My experience with ‘clitoral’ piercing is that it’s ALWAYS a hood piercing and, yes, it’s arousing, of course it is! But I don't have any hands-on experience with actual clit piercings. Clits are like penises - they vary in size and sensitivity. I’ve had to use magnifiers to find some and some greet you with a handshake. I think that there must be more bundles of nerves there than in any other part of the female body (although sex-legend Sez the **** is a bundle of nerves, too).

So, to close - look into hood piercing, if you like. Ask around. It was very popular decades back. Like Pubic Hair. Although, I’ve been told, Pubic Hair is making a comeback.

I don't know where you find a vulva for a tattoo (but good for you knowing the difference between vulva and vagina! So many women don't!). Best of luck!

Not sure I'd want a realistic vulva tat but I'd love a Georgia O’Keeffe version

Thank you for the info! I'm not planning on more piercings (although I wouldn't mind a couple more in my ears for the set of seahorse earrings I have... It's 4 different colors in a set, so they're purposely mismatched), but you never know. I just don't like how the heavier ones tug my earlobes. I use LobeWonder, but it's still kind of a pain.

And throw the Weston Peppers in the rubbish bin?

Whattaya think?

I had ‘cold-like-symptoms’ when going through the cold-turkey-withdrawal from opioids. Had to blow my nose a lot.

Did you have a center-cartilage nose piercing or a soft-tissue nostril piercing?

I’m convinced, now, that I’ll get a right nostril piercing.

Just wondering if anyone here has body piercings or tattoos? And if you’re willing to share your experiences.

I have four piercings but no tattoos. I have an appointment this week to get my first tattoo and I’m excited about it. A symbol/logo on the back of my neck.

Anyone?

Hey, yeah. Tugs and pain, cap-in-hand.

Small seahorses, I hope? All in one ear or mix-and-match? Plaids & Stripes = mismatch! Not differing colors! Unity of Color.

I have 3 tattoos, and tragus pierced both sides, 5/8ths of an inch earlobes, right nostril, septum, right side of lip, left cartilage, and my 2nd and 3rd holes in my ears though I don't wear anything in those

My ears r lopsided. On purpose. 2 on one side & 4 on the other. I won't do cartilage bec I heard it's painful.
I have 4 tats. One is over 20 yrs old & I don't even notice it anymore. It needs fresh ink but I won't do it bec of where it's located.
I love tats! I'd have more if my SO wouldn't say they make me look like trash!
