Tattoos, piercings, etc.

my ears are done and did have my tongue but I took it out. *sigh* I miss it

You took out your tongue??????

I'd miss it, too!

i have 13 piercings:
rook, tragus, labret, nose, 2 in cartiledge, industrial, both nipples, front lobes are stretched to 10 and back are stretched to 14.

i have 4 tattoos:
star on left wrist, my grandpas guitar headstock on right shoulder, a sailor jerry sparrow on left leg and this goth star chick thing on left shoulder.

i want more more more. i dont feel the addiction will ever end.

I use to have my nose pierced...parents made me take it out though. I am getting my belly button done by a friend, and my tongue. I want a tattoo when I get older, but a small one right next to my hip bone. Debating on what to get though....probably a puzzle piece.

I would only get those piercings done by a professional. especially the tongue one. both really need to be professional. those get infected easily. the tongue is painful! takes alot of care for a couple of weeks. feel free to pm me. I had mine done

im gettin my septum pierced in a day!!

Ok, I am showing my age here....

you said your front and back lobe are stretched...whats the difference between a front and back lobe?

showing mine too cuz I don't know what those are. any of them lol

i just meant my lobes are pierced twice.......i have 2 holes in ear lobe. front and back....woo hoo get the septum in 9 hours!

Bebop: my friend that is doing mine is a professional. I just get them done by her because she will do it for free at home for me.

that is great! good luck!

Ok just gotta shout out that I'm seriously jonsing for another tattoo. Its been YEARS. I have one drawn up that I want in honor of my mom. Someday I will get it, oh yes, someday I will get it.

Tee heeee!!!!

There's a new show coming out, LA Ink, this Tuesday at 10:00 p.m. Central. It's on the Discovery Channel. It's a sister show to Miami Ink, I think. It takes place in a tattoo shop. More info here

Yeah the LA Ink is Kat Von D's new shop , she had been working for Ami James and Chris Nunez in their shop, Miami Ink but Kat and Ami clashed too much and she was miserable... But she is one talented lady I tell ya.... I cant wait to see her new show... I still will be watching the guys on Miami Ink tho, they ROCK!!!

i only have 3 ear piercings, but im going to get more soon. i really want to get my lip pierced, lower left. i may have to wait til im 18 though. there are several tattoos i want to get, one specifically being a falling crow with the words 'deus ex machina' under it. on my wrist. theres others i want to get too, but they arent quite fully formed in my mind.

If anyone doesn't mind a non-tattoo artist, not-even-amateur, and inexperienced person tattooing or piercing them, I wouldn't mind. It's not a hobby, but I like poking holes in people, and poking them with needles and ink.

LOL! Any volunteers?

woo hoo got my septum a week ago!

Ok here we go...

To start ...
At the rip old age of 7 (lol) I got my ears done.
18 - bellybutton
18 - tongue
18 - second hole in hears
20 - first and only tat - simple black pixie upper right shoulder blade
25 - nipples *yes both of them hehehe*

I no longer have bellybutton due to pregnancy nor do i have the second holes in my ears.

Next I would like to get my lower back pierced. I love tats but I'm afraid that if i get another one that i'll be over doing it. don't want to tempt it.... I absolute LOVE what I have now so I don't want to get something that I would regret. After that I figure that I'll be good for a little while.

Don't you worry about things leaking out with all those holes??? LOL!

All I have are pierced eares....one on each ear....just the normal thing. When I had that done, I passed out from the pain....go figure.

From that point on, I honestly like my art on the wall.....oil paintings, waterpaintings, posters, sculptures, & other things that I can enjoy when I look at them on my walls.

I can understand people wanting to be self expressive....I have always been one who demands being myself & expressing myself, but that isn't the way I choose to do it. I enjoy my self expression in much more traditional ways.....maybe because I am such a chicken but I don't think it is that.....I just think I don't care for tattoos no matter is they didn't hurt. It's a personal thing.

Just because your parents have something or all your friends have something....doesn't mean it's right for you......that is why it's called self expression.

As for the nose ring.....always looked like a bull to me.....then I asked myself why did they put the ring in the bulls nose......so they can lead the bull around. I didn't want anyone thinking they could lead me around anyway....let alone with a nose ring. Everything has personal meanings to the individual.

I also didn't want to do the same self expressions as everyone else was doing.....everyone is doing the piercing & the tattooing......that to me looses the self expression when everyone else is doing it.
