Tattoos and piercings.

Who has them?

I have over 30 tattoos and at one time had 11 piercings and a dermal. Now I have two holes in each ear.

I managed a tattoo shop for a little while :-)

Random post!!!

6 tattoos, and and 8 piercings left, 3 are in each ear. I went more wild with piercings, but eventually took them all out except a couple small ones.

I have 7 tattoos, and ready for another. I only have my ears pierced.

Back when it was cool I had my tongue pierced. I will say this- I later wanted the cartlidge at the top of my ear pierced and it hurt 10x worse than the tongue.

But I removed the tongue ring and the cartlidge got infected so that didn't last.

I don't have any tattoos. I like them fine on other people but, I'm always afraid I won't like it later if I got one. I debated on getting one after my dad died to honor him somehow but, my dad would probably roll in his grave no matter how nice the gesture. So I didn't want to get one in fear of displeasing him. If I did it would probably be the words "all the way" which is the motto of the 82nd airborne and also the words carved into his headstone. But I like the motto because I feel like it means "don't give up"- ya know?

Okay - sorry for the cheese.

I have a very small star behind my left ear.  It's about the size of a nickel and I forget it's there because I can only see it in the mirror when my hair is up.  Someone once said he'd never met a person with only one tattoo and I totally surprised him.  I got it in college and don't mind it, but DH has asked that I not get any more, so I won't.  I have the cartilage at the top of my ear pierced as well as my lobes.  But I always forget that one's there, too!  

 

If I were to get another, I would get a white ink tattoo of lace, not sure where.  But I've seen some on Pinterest and I think they are beautiful.

I have three tattoos and had6 piercings including my belly button (took that out when I was pregnant with DD#1 and never put it back) and only kept 1 in each ear.

I have 2 tattoos, one on each foot, both rather small. And only 2 piercings, one in each ear...I have had them since I was 2. I always wanted my belly button pierced, but don't have the body for that anymore.

i have 2 tattoos, at at one time had 6 ear piercing and nose as well. now i just have two in each ear. the nose piercing was fun when i was younger but i soon got tired of scraping boogers off it.  not sexy.

@freakyfast‌ may I ask what you have pierced? If not it's okay. I'm curious

I've got 7 tattoos, and one piercing. 

At one point I had my tongue pierced, my lip pierced in three places, 8 piercings in one ear and four in the other, and my eyebrow pierced twice, but when I started med school I couldn't have any piercings on my face, so the lip and eyebrows piercings closed up pretty quick, and then I removed the tongue piercing when I started seeing XW because she said they only suited women. I kept the ear ones a lot longer, but in the end all of them came out, except from my Daith piercing.

Sure you already know what's up with my ute.    :-*

I have 6 piercings total in my lower lobes, 3 on each side

I have an industrial which is two piercings, (and I count them as such because they are two separate holes) but holds one piece of jewelry, left ear

Also in my left ear I have a tragus piercing 

In my right ear I have a rook piercing

My nose

My tongue

Both my nipples

Belly button

For some reason, I always pictured all you ladies like this: 

But now, after this post, I picture you all like this: 

I don't even know why I assumed everyone was so conservative looking! Lol.  I'm guessing reality is somewhere in between, no?

freakyfast

LOL @ GraceyandTroy 

Nice comparison.  I am no where near conservative.  

Jodee37

@GraceyandTroy LMFAO!

I looking at getting a tattoo after baby stuff is done. My skin keloiys and my mom had me convinced that if I got one it wwould turn out lumpy and misshappen. Well played mother, well played.

KC1212

@freakyfast‌ some of your piercings I don't even know what they are?! Lol
:-/ what's a tragus and rook??

freakyfast

Here is a diagram @KC1212. This is obviously not my ear.  I could show you my ear but I tried to take a picture of it and it isn't working. LOL 

ETA: Posted before adding picture.

Keloids don't normally happen with modern tattoos. However, piercings do.

I had to look up a diagram on google, @kc1212 and @freakyfast.  I didn't know those terms either.  But, now that I know what they're called, I think the tragus is a really cute piercing.  I mentioned that to DH one time, though, and he said he would prefer it if I didn't get any more piercings.  He's kind of boring about these things. 

KC1212

@freakyfast‌ I've seen them before I just didn't know what they were called lol. I've always thought the tragus one is cute. But the rook looks painful... While I was at the salon the other day there was a girl in there with her face pierced. It was a small rhinestone in the place a beauty mark might be located...

CeCe8579

I had my tragus pierced twice but both times it rejected.

freakyfast

KC1212 - the rook didn't hurt much at all. The tragus you feel pressure and hear A LOT of crunching. LOL

I had a Monroe, labret, both dimples and my nose just on my face but I got tired of them. I still have my nose piercing.

I have 5 tattoos and love them! I used to have my tongue pieced, but that has closed up

sarahjeri

@GraceyandTroy‌ I had the same impression!

I have three holes in my left ear, two in the right all in my lobes. I used to have my tongue pierced, in college, but my mom bribed me to take it out with a shopping trip. no tattoos. I've thought about it, but haven't had the courage yet.

I have two tattoos.  One was a mistake, the other one I got last fall.  It's this, but in black ink.

I have my ears pierced once now.  I have 2nd and 3rd holes that are blocked off on the back end.  I also had my cartilage pierced a few times, but it kept getting infected.  I had my belly button pierced when I was younger and skinny.  It got ripped out when I was at the office one day, I reached up and behind a copier to grab something, my shirt lifted too much and it got caught on the copier :-(

@jaminjeff i just got the chills reading about your belly button piercing removal! :::cringes:::   and i love that tattoo btw.

jaminjeff

@jodee37 it was awful!  Sorry if it grossed ya out though :-)

Thanks, I love it too.  It turned out great and I have LO's initials and his birthday under it.  I already have my next one picked out for my next LO.
