Yer wee Morakins is on the brink of getting her next tattoo and decided to be nosey and see who else was into piercings and ink?

What you got, where and why? Any pics?

If not, what would you get, where and why?

Here be my list (current):

Pierced -

Nose
Tummy Button
Ears (5 holes in total)
Girly Area

Tattoos -

Shoulder
Foot

Am about to get my ankle done and I have an ongoing project on my lower back (which isnt anything more that my tattooist drawing on me and erasing it again until he decideds the wingspan is *perfect* )

I should stop soon but its getting addictive!

I have pictures honey, but they cannot be shown And when you say "girlie area" are you talking about upper or lower? Mine is upper. As to why I decided to get poked because I had the overwhelming urge to do something just for the hell of it. I didn't and couldn't pick a more conspicious location because of my job. However my teenaged clients are extremely curious as to why I know so much about proper care and cleaning of piercings I wish I could get my belly button pierced, but it is an outie and my piercing dude said it was a no-go. So as to what else might get pierced on me, we will have to see how the spirit moves me.

I would love to get a tattoo but since I have never been able to decide on just the perfect design, I will probably not get one. All that I know is that I would want it to be something small, less than 2 inches square, and only in black ink.

I've got my ears and belly button pierced.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for a while but never actually done anything about it... although I did nearly get a small version the white tree of Gondor put on my lower back when I was touring New Zealand last year.... the tattooist was closed though, so I remain ink free.

I have my ears pierced, but I want more ear rings, the two I have can get bigger gauges...I also want my tongue and eye brow pierced.

I'm drawing this large winged dragon with chains wrapped around it, and thorns too with a rose that's going to be placed somewhere, and a crystal ball is hovering between its clawed hands, and in the ball is Elvish script circling around it, and in the middle is my name in Elvish. I'm hoping to get it on my back...it's gonna cost awfully a lot, but its worth it. I'll probably won't have it finished until the end of this month since it's a very detailed drawing. My hand hurts just typing about it.

I have nothing at all, save my ears (two piercings) and I only had those done when I was 21. I just don't like the idea of it (on me, I mean. I don't have a problem with other people doing it).

I have thought about getting a tattoo, however, but I can't decide what I want, other than I would like it small and not too garish or silly. I did fancy getting something done on my ankle, but I was told that was one of the most painful places to have it done, since the needle is hitting against the bone or something.

I can't see me ever doing that though. I'm not very into beauty and stuff like that (hardly ever even wear make up), as I am naturally quite ugly, and usually when I try to alter something about myself, it just makes it worse.

Sind, my belly button piercing got ripped out so i re-holed it and it tore out again. Now I have an interesting scar that has a wafer thin dent awaiting more re-piercing! The lesson? Dont pierce it in the first instance.

Im toying with the idea of getting a labret but I hate facial piercings and am worried about scaring. (Nose dont count)

I think I shall stick to the inking. It took me years to perfect my first 2 designs. You'll get yours!

MistressBucky - my new one is tengwar! yay for Tolkien tats! Go get your tree, hen!

[mistressofbucklebury]

I'm am so seriously considering it but I'd only get it down if I could get a recommendation for a good artist.

A few friends on my tour borrowed someones Noble Collection Elvish Leaf Brooch and used that as a sort of template thing. They even managed to find the tattooist in Wellington who gave the Fellowship actors their tattoos, and he opend up early on Premiere Day just for them.... grrr if only I'd known

I'm am fiendishly addicted to piercings. A recent thing, admittingly, but... it's growing.

Started with my two lowest lobe piercings. Got another two lower lobes. Didn't really care and let one close up. Evened it all out so I had three in either lower lobe. Got to college, realised that all uniforms and whatnot could go to hell, so I left earrings in permanently. I liked this look, and after six months or so bit the bullet and got my right nostril pierced. Best buzz EVER and the reason why I'm never going back to using a gun for piercings. The adreniline was fabulous and I found a lovely piercer who's a star and explains everything quite nicely and tells me how to look after it.

That was the real start. On an impulse, I got my top rim on my right ear pierced. Mistake. Hurt like a bitch, took forever to heal up (although got a lot better when I took out the sleeper and put in a stud) although I've grown to quite like it now.

My last piercing was my tongue. It has... certain advantages, shall we say. It's very nice and fun, and hurt the least, as the needle goes through the membrane and he did numb it first. Hurt like a bitch a few hours later though. I was expecting not to be able to eat, and for the first 24 hours that was pretty true. After that, though, it was just a case of getting used to eating again. He put in a pretty big bar to accomodate the swelling, so it was a little weird, as when I shut my mouth I could feel it on the top and bottom of my mouth. I got it changed after two weeks (by the apprentice piercer, lovely lady) and it was much smaller and lighter. Apart from occasionally grossing people out by playing with it, it's never uncomfortable, food NEVER gets trapped in it and it's generally pretty. All the horror stories you hear about infections and stuff are true - and they've been pierced by an idiot. I got lots of aftercare stuff, about how you shouldn't drink (yeast+nice warm open space in tongue=basically thrush in the mouth, lovely) and shouldn't eat certain foods for a little bit, and I had no problems.

So, nine so far. I'm contemplating more ear work. It's the most painful place I've had pierced, but it looks really pretty. I'm contemplating my tragus or a diego. I'd love to get a medusa or a madonna (middle and offcenter top lip respectively), but... same as Mora, I'm worried about scarring. Weirdly enouh, I'd quite like to go into something in the public eye, and I don't want piercings to get in the way. Belly is also a big thought - I'd love three piercings or even five around it.

I'm not inked, yet. I can't find any design I want badly enough to be drawn onto my skin FOREVER. I'd like one soon, though.

I have no piccies of my piercings, weirdly enough. Not specifically of them. Alas!

[artanisoflorien]

Currently, all I have is my ears...three piercings. But someday, I plan to have my belly button done. I've promised myself that, as a reward, if I can lose down to a goal weight, I'll do it.

And then, I plan to wear absolutely nothing but low-ride jeans and midriff shirts for the rest of my life!

Actually, I've always wanted a tattoo, but I'm a chicken and my husband would freak. My sister-n-law has one that I really, really like. It's ivy twining around her ankle. I'd hate to copy her, but that's what I'd want if I got one.

[inglor]

None and none.
But I do have a peircing question for the group. I have heard about the "advantages" of tongue piercings. Do women realized the same "advantages" when their partner is similarly pierced. And what about male lower piercings, any difference in the experience? And do lower female piercings enhance the experience for the male?

Just curious, its something I've been wondering about

[Hathor]

Yes, girls like partners with tongue piercings. So I've been told, anyway.

I have my ears pierced (only once each), done when I was about 11. I then discovered that anything "plated" caused an allergic reaction, which put me off wearing jewellery in general (let alone getting more piercings).
I would like to get a tattoo, but I'm a total wuss and haven't found the courage yet. Here's a pic of what I'd like to have (should be black but the original was done in pencil):

Pretty tame here, just my ears pierced, though I've thought about adding more.
I do have one tattoo, which I designed for myself (very simple), which is on my left leg just below the hip, and it barely hurt at all (nice and plump right there ). I really want another one on the opposite side, and maybe even one on my back... Tats are totally addicting, though I would never get one that was clearly visible in normal 'work' clothes.
Saving up my pennies...
