Piercings and/or tattoos?
 
I'm thinking about having my earlobes pierced sometime soon. Yes, I don't even have those. Never got any piercings, even though I kind of wanted to.

Edit: I got them done, and they closed up a week after I took the pin out for the first time (after waiting six weeks). .___.
A friend of a friend who is a piercer redid it around the beginning of July. It's finally stopped hurting, I can move it around like I want to without feeling anything, and there's no gooey stuff coming out of it either anymore. Still, not going to remove it until the middle of August at first. I like it though, so that's okay - I have a big safety pin in it. ^^

Second edit: If you're thinking about getting your earlobes pierced, read this article first. Not to scare you, just.. needles are better. :]

Do you have any piercings? If so, how long have you had them for, and where are they? Do you like them? Regret them?
What about tattoos? Do you have any, of what are they, do you like them or regret them?
What are your views on piercings and tattoos?
Are you thinking about getting one, or maybe on your way to getting one?

:]

  • I have a tattoo of a tiger butterfly on my lower back, and I love it, but I won't be getting anymore done. I don't have piercings apart from earrings, I don't think its smart or cool to get pierced anywhere else.

I used to have both of my ears pierced, but because I had gym class and you had to take out your earrings, I ended up losing one of my earrings, and now I only have my left ear pierced. But, I've had them since February, and nah, I don't regret it. xD; I've always wanted my ears pierced. Now I've got to think of what gauge I'm going to gauge them to. :D

I want to get a tattoo when I turn 18. I'm thinking of getting a black swirly eye somewhere~

Anyway, I will never get my ears pierced. Nor stretched. I think I shudder just about every time I see someone with their lobes stretched. It can look really awesome though <3

Gabriel 05-02-2007 01:53 PM

Mm...I've none, nor do I really desire to obtain any.

I tend to view tattoos and/or piercings as disfigurement of the human body. I'm more than accepting of earrings, and as stated, I have no desire to obtain any, am accepting of any other form of piercing on any individual.

Tattoos, aren't all that attractive to me, as age will eventually overcome you, and that butterfly will look like a football.

Ah well, people may do with their bodies as they please.

I am most worried about scars. I kind of want to have my lip pierced, but I don't want to end up with a nasty scar for the rest of my life. Of course, not everyone gets a scar, but still.
I often wear a fake piercing in my lip though, I wish there were more of those. ;Ð

My mum put a safety pin through her cheek when she was younger, by herself. I kind of want to do that, just not by myself. :3

I've had me ear pierced but that was years ago and the hole is filled now :3

Starshine 05-02-2007 02:09 PM

I'm against piercings, of any kind, I just hate the thought of sticking something through your body.

Some tattoos can be very sexy though, but I'm too chicken to ever get any done XD

Zarq 05-02-2007 02:16 PM

Hmm.. I have one ear pierced two times, the other four times. I have my eyebrow pierced. And I have a tattoo of a dragon wrapped around my ankle.

I don't regret either my piercings or my tattoo, they are just part of me -- something I needed to do at the time.

I don't have a problem with anyone who has piercings and tattoos, but I do believe that waiting until you are at least 21--possibly older before having tattoo work done is the smart way to go about it. I was 29 when I had my tattoo done and I waited so long to be sure I wasn't going to regret it. I'm glad I waited, and I'm glad I had it done.

I have 6 piercings in my ears (2 in one and 4 in the other)
and I have my nose pierced...
and I'mma get a tatto on my ankle really soon C:

falling sanity 05-02-2007 02:40 PM

I have 4 tattoos.
My frist two are of the same thing and they are located on my forearms. It's a design that I drew up myself.
The next one is located on my chest. It's of a puzzle that is carved into the flesh with one piece missing.
The last one is on my leg, and it's of a Air Force WW2 pinup girl.

The tattoos look a lot better than what I could ever describe them to be lol.
I actually plan on getting another tattoo, this time a quarter sleeve, but I want to wait another year or so for that.

Ling 05-02-2007 02:43 PM

I have my earlobes pierced, does that count as two piercings? lol...I don't plan on getting any tattoos or any more piercings.

What are you going to get? :3
I've heard tattoos on the ankle hurt real bad though. D:

  • I have a trible tattoo on my shoulder. I love it. ^^

To tell you the truth... all tattoos hurt, some more than others LOL
You have several needles piercing your skin 1000+ times a minute. I forgot the exact amount of times.

sukishine 05-02-2007 03:08 PM

I have my ears pierced, but I still hardly ever wear earrings.
When I'm 18 or 19 I kind of want to get a small tattoo on my lower back. It'd be a heart with wings. I've seen the design I want and it's really pretty and doesn't look tacky. My twin and I want to get one together.

  • Yea. All tattoo's hurt. But if you get one with fat behind it, like on you stomach or arms, it hurts less than getting one on your ankle or shoulder blade.

The worst pain was the tattoo on my leg, part of the pinup girl covers my shin and the back of my calf. I thought the shin would hurt the most because it's pretty much skin and bone, but to my suprise... it was the muscle on the back of my calf that made me want to cry like a little girl LMAO. And getting the tattoo retouched hurts more than getting the tattoo for the first time LOL

Haha yeah, I know. But as SomeRandomRandomness said, it supposedly hurts more when there's just skin and bone. :3

You know, that's not the first time I heard that getting a tattoo on the back of the neck didn't hurt. I heard it's more like a comforting vibration or some thing.

Folken 05-02-2007 07:25 PM

I have a star on my back between my shoulder blades (just below the shirt line) and it felt like a bad sunburn feels on day 2. The ones on my forearms hurt more than that. :lol:

The one on my chest hurt the most, aside from part of the tattoo on my leg that touches the back of my calf. Because of my nipple being there on my chest and all the nerves tend to link up in that area, it was really hard for me to sit still lol
