Tatoos are the same deal, they look great if they're discreet, but if they're really noticable, or if they depict something really tasteless, it just looks trashy. Also, if you have a tat, it has to have some personal meaning to you, not just some picture in a book that you thought looked cool.

Ah, cool. Well, I was thinking of getting one of these two tattoos done, and had been for a while, but my ex-girlfriend was dead against it. She's not around anymore so I'm thinking about getting it done again. What do you think of these two designs?

Just the crying figure from the Radiohead cover for Amnesiac, or:

The four symbols of the four members of Led Zeppelin from their fourth album. At the moment I'm pretty undecided about them, I like them, but I don't know if I like them enough to wear them for the rest of my life.

^ I think those would be cool, the first one is my favorite out of them. would you just get one of them, or all four?

I'd probably get one at a time, just to see how much it hurts (low pain threshold) and if that went ok then get the others at a later date. The first one is my favourite of them too, thanks for the input.

it apparently doesn't hurt too much, but then everyone has different pain thresholds, so i guess ya just have to try it out and see

I have a nipple done(now out) my nose (now out) and my ear (now out).They didn't hurt me,and i had no ill effects from them,keep them clean and they are ok.

someone said do you fancy people with piercings. I like eyebrow and lip (sometimes) and i like those earrings boys sometimes wear, i dunno what they're called, the black ones that make a hole in your ear.
I think they look pretty cool.
i might be getting my nose done in about a week, it depends. My mum said i'm allowed if still want it done in a week but i will cos i've wanted a nose stud for ages i think they look wicked.

I was gunna get the sublime sun and all the **** inside it, but they artist said it would have to go all the way across my back and i didnt like that.

I wanna get the CO CA dragonfly on my forearm...

And I pierced my ears myself, and I would not recommend doing it, it was a bit painful but more out just agonizing...its hard to get through your ear... now they are guged not too big, but only a 4. i wanna go to a 2 or 0...

Those black things boys put in their ears are called Plugs (they can be any colour though). and in order to stretch your holes that big to get a plug in you need to use spacers. Dont do this without researching how to, because it is painful.
