piercing- 1, ears. Tattoos- 4 and counting, including the memorial one for Spencer. Still adding one for Kenzie and will eventually get one for this little guy too. *tw* My tattoo for Spencer is this Giraffe one (pic is minutes after it was done)- Giraffes were pretty much my animal for him, and I saw them all over the place during his time and after. 43 is the number of days old he was.

I had a belly button ring before I got pregnant but it came out as soon as my belly started growing and now I have a super ugly scar.
I actually almost got my first tattoo this summer but the artist totally made it no fun. I’m already picky and am scared of it looking bad, but I want the experience to be fun too.
I have a tree on my back, a celtic knot on my left wrist and a little anchor on my ankle (in memory of my grandmother, who was a W.R.E.N. in Halifax in WWII.. she got transferred to Ottawa and never told us what she did there so I like to think she was a top secret code breaker since she was crazy intelligent). I want to get a dragonfly tattoo where the body of it is line art but the wings are watercolour and fade out, in memory of my Dad. He and I shared the dragon zodiac and when I did a run in honour of him a year after he died a huge dragonfly landed on my husband's chest and stayed there until I finished the run and could see it. I've wanted this piece for a good 3 years now, but I'm now waiting until after baby so I can de-puff.
I used to have my nose pierced and loved it, but I hated how much it clogged things up in there so I let it heal over.
What a fun GTKY! I love all of the memories shared in tattoo form.
I have one tattoo on my back of Jeremiah 29:11. I had it done right before college at a time when I needed reminding that there were good things in the future. I wanted to get a music related tattoo after completing my degree, but I put it off and now I feel like I would want to do it at a different milestone (like if I decide on graduate school someday.) My sister wants to get tattoos together, but we haven’t settled on a design.
I have a belly button piercing, which I recently removed. It will be interesting to see how much it stretches or scars during pregnancy! I also have two ear piercings in each ear (though I pretty much only wear one set of earrings these days), and I used to have a third at the top of my ear on one side, but I let it heal over a few years ago.
I’m lame. No tattoos and just the standard piercing of one in each ear. I thought about getting a tattoo to honor my grandma, but I was going through a lot at that point in my life and I didn’t want to make any permanent decisions.
I have about 22ish tattoos (maybe a couple more) and at one point or another in my life I've had ears, eyebrow, nose, septum, and tongue pierced, but now only my ears and my nose are still open.
I started off with just a couple of standard early 2000's tattoos and it was that way for years until I was 31 and my first husband passed away. I started with a couple of memorial tattoos for him and then fell in love with the art form and the idea of using my body as a living journal and canvas. Some of my favorites include a cardinal, stack of books, sun and moon, hand with flowers, old fashioned typewriter, plus a million more. The style is mostly American Traditional. I will definitely get at least a few more. Maybe more than that. ;-)
I'm also boring! I used to have a bunch of ear piercings but I'm down to one in each ear now. I also took out my belly button piercing in my mid twenties. Mine's not terrible after pregnancy. I just ended up with one little stretch mark going from the hole down to the top of my belly button. DH has a bunch of tattoos.
So I have no piercings (that includes ear) and no tattoos. I've always been terrified of needles. I've thought about getting my ears pierced lately but then I just cringe at feeling like then I'll need to buy earrings and that's just more money.
I took a bunch of my ear piercings out for nursing school, but still have 2 in each ear plus my conch and a little stud in my nose. I have about 10 or 11 tattoos... & can't wait to add one for our baby!
I have a couple holes in each ear. I took out my nose piercing earlier this year. I have 6 tattoos, that I've been collecting since I was 19. Including my son's bday in Roman numerals on my rib cage. Not sure what I'll do for this small bean, since the other side has a tatoo as well.
2 tattoos: 1 on my leg that is a heart with a rose together with 3 fav colors of purple green and black. Other on my hip of a butterfly with the Virgo sign inside of it. Current piercings have double pierced ears with a cartilage piercing on the left ear and 2 side cartilage piercings on the right ear. Took my belly button piercing out years ago.
@literatureandink Last year I started a big piece on my upper arm/shoulder that will eventually (hopefully) be a sleeve! i have the birth-month flowers of all my siblings, plus my mom's favorite flowers, so I'm thinking I will have to add baby's birth month flower (the first april babe in the family!)

First tattoo is a Pi symbol. I teach math and have a cat name pi.
