I was going to say that but I didn't want to offend anyone who might have one. :laughing:

At the moment, I'm entirely unspoiled when it comes to tattoos and piercings.

Piercings are a big fat no for me. Of the people I know, very nearly all of them are girls and so I guess I'm just not used to the idea that you get piercings to decorate yourself if you're a guy.

Some of my friends have tattoos and I would rather get one of those, but it would have to be something timeless. I don't do stuff like that because it's fashionable. I have been thinking about one or two tattoos for quite some time now, but I'm not that passionate about it so I haven't done it quite yet.

Interestingly, a couple of my friends have some really awful tattoos they regret getting.

My piercings:

facial
both nostrils
septum
snakebites
central lip ring
smilie

ears
both lobes @ 20mm
4 normal lobes
conch dermal punched @ 6mm
normal conch
4 helix

body
labia

I also used to have a scaffold, navel and vertical transverse lobe. I do most of my piercings myself as I have access to medical grade needles, so they come and go pretty regularly.. i think my lip has been done about 7 times in total.

I have 2 tattoos and I want alot more. unfortunately i cont do them myself though which means they cost money.. their cost is the only thing preventing me from getting a large amount of my body tattooed.


Obviously its something iminterested in.. i think its a great way to express yourself. I also have dreadlocks.. I love looking the way I do, I enjoy the fact that I couldnt get some crappy shop job even if i wanted to.. this is how i feel comfortable.

:banghead: Whoops

I ****ed up spelling so many words in that post, not to mention typed the wrong word twice. Now i here ashamed of it.

What do they know...?

So when do we get to see the pics then people? :D

^ I agree! this is a "thread is useless without pics" moment! :)

.

You want a photo?

this is my dermal punch, when it was 'fresh' and bleeding everywhere.

:D

I used to be in love with the idea of being covered in tattoos. All meaningful tattoos though, not stupid pointless ones. However, I grew up and realized that I cannot be a walking canvas if I want a real job. Now I am into strategically placed tattoos and piercings. Nothing visable is my motto. I have one on my lower back, one on my shoulder, one on my wrist and I will soon have one on the back of my neck as well.The end result will be a celtic backpiece.

As far as piercings, also stratigically placed, five on my ears and two elsewhere.

Traaamp stamp.

Ok forget what I said before... If I had to get a tatoo this would be it. Spacemen 3 FTW.

Here is my tramp stamp. I made it kinda hard to miss, haha. This was right after I got it like four years ago, but honestly the quality is still good, doesn't look like I'll be needing a touch-up anytime soon:

And treble clef on my left wrist. Have yet to get the bass on my right:

I will take pictures on the other two I have later and post those.

I dont have any jewelry in my piercings right now, or else I'd take pics and post, nothing special, just ears and nips.

I got a new tat today... 'no gods no masters' round my left ankle. It was fun :D

I think I've posted this before but this is my ink:

Bad quality 'cause it was taken from a phone.

Nice.

Does anyone have a stick and poke?

I'm thinking about getting my tongue pierced but I cant get over the fact that the tongue is a muscle, not tissue......

Are you worried about the pain or the general idea?

To be honest I'm getting tired of all this Miami Ink "you have to have a special meaning behind your tattoo" bullsh!t mentality that people have about tattoos. I mean I know since its permanent (not really but for argument's sake) you want something you're always going to like on you, but not everything HAS to have a story behind it.

I have a mustache tattooed on my finger. There's no meaning behind it. I just get a laugh out of it when I throw it up to my lip and look in the mirror or with my mates. I know I will, one of these days, get a tattoo dedicated to someone, but I also want certain tattoos because I like the design or the artists style and quality of work. Not everything's got to have a meaning.

/rantoff haha

yeah where i live piercings and tattoos are very popular, i surprised someone when they were told i have none of these, really strange. everyone is talking about what kind of piercing they want, or tattoo. come to think of it, none of my friends are without a piercing. stretchers are very popular too. of course im not against people doing this, i see no point in it, and do not plan on getting any.

I dont have a problem with pain. Im convinced nothing will hurt more than getting my nipples pierced. Its just the idea.

You don't HAVE to have a meaning but that's what they were originally intended for. The Maoris and the British have had a long tradition of tattoos as a tribal stamp (other cultures i'm sure too) and unfortunately that has been lost with the explosion of body art over the last ten years.

Both my tattoo's have meanings but it's not essential. However if there is a story behind it then it gives the art extra significance.

Oh right.
I was just going to assure you that it doesn't hurt to have it done. It hurts afterwards when your tongue's nice and swollen and you bite it all the time, but otherwise it's nothing.

How bad did that hurt? I've often thought about getting one there...

I actually just said this in the Body Mods Poll thread--

I believe that a persons skin is just a canvas and things body modification is a way to decorate your canvas, and express yourself.


I have an assortment of ear piercings, including 00ga lobes, both nipples, left nostril and labret done. I have a 4:20 tattoo on my inner lip, but other than that no others because I am indecisive lol

sheesus just thinking about gauging makes my toes curl... I dont give a **** about piercings you cant see, but a well-placed facial piercing can suit somebody, having a gaping hole in a dangly earlobe is just... not cool. For god's sake go and read a book or something

The only thing I ever had was a chin pin (for some reason its called that, just a stud through the lower part of your bottom lip) and it never stopped being a bit icky and I kept picking it and getting it caught in my bottom teeth whenever eating vigorously.. i had it for ages and took it out once for like a day and it closed up instantly, i do not particularly miss it.
Mutilating yourself is addictive, I wanted more straight away but luckily never got around to it. Plus i've got better things to spend the money i don't have on, it's like people think they have something to prove to the world or themselves, I really don't understand it, but then I don't understand why i spend so much money on tobacco, it's just compulsive and ultimately pointless

It didn't hurt initially the problem was that it didn't take and the tragus started to swell. Consequently the stud started to disappear and i had to rip it out with a pair of pliers :yikes: Luckily I'm a hard bastard lol

Ouch! Maybe I'll hold off on that. lol

My nose hurt the most I have to say. My eyebrow piercing was with a needle and was no bother- it's my favourite piercing.
