Alright ladies...Tattoos or piercings? What do you got? If you have any, how many do you have and where are they and what are they of?? Share with us! Feel free to post pics too if you like 😁
I'll start! I have had many piercings throughout the years (tongue, eyebrow, nostril), but I'm down to ears only. I have 12 between my 2 ears. I have 9 tattoos (3 on my back, one of each wrist, one on my thigh, one on my calf, one on my ankle and one on the top of my foot). I will definitely be getting more tattoos, and plan to get my nose re-pierced after this little guy is born.

Super boring, I just have two holes in each earlobe. However I barely use the second because some infections years ago made it painful to wear earrings in them unless the posts are super thin. In college I briefly had a nose piercing, which I miss, but was stupid and removed the stud too soon so it closed up. No tattoos, I'm terrified of needles (I can psych myself up for a piercing because it's so fast) and could never really pick a design that I wanted permanently. However...
*TW losses mentioned*
I am debating getting something small to remember my losses. I didn't get foot- or handprints, which I sort of regret (I wanted it over as soon as possible and wasn't thinking straight) but could probably find some generic measurement somewhere of what the usual size is at 15 weeks. Would probably be on my wrist or ankle if I ever figure out a design and get up the courage.
I love tattoos! MH has quite a few, I’ve got 3 and have ideas for at least 2 more to get after this baby. I don’t have anything I can’t hide yet but plan to eventually move further down my arm. I actually don’t have any piercings anymore. I had my ears and bellybutton at one point but they’ve been out for probably 10 years lol I got lazy and don’t usually wear any jewelry.
My ears are pierced and I have 2 tattoos. I love tattoos but I would get both the ones I have removed. I had my tongue pierced in my early 20-mid 20s. I had my belly button pieced for 23 years and took it out in 2019 when pregnant with DD.
Just my ears pierced...I used to have a 2nd piercing on each ear and my nose pierced when I was 18. Had too many boogers to want to keep the nose ring in LOL
No tattoos but had a ton of piercings back in the day. Had my nose pierced for about 6 years -went a month after my 18th bday- and loved it. I think about getting it redone all the time lol. Had 9 piercings in my ears at one point but only 4 now, and usually only wear single earrings. Not a big jewelry wearer now due to kids/work lol.
My ears are pierced a few times each but I only use one piercing in each ear. I had my belly button pierced in college and took it out several years later.
I have a very 90's butterfly tattoo on my back. My mom had a fit.

@Maggie1202 wow that's alot of both LOL you must have alot of piercings on each ear.
I have ZERO tattoos lol Im terrified of needles and couldn't sit for that long to have it done. I do however LOVE piercings cause there cute and are quick! I have 11 in total all over my body. I have 2 earrings in my lobe on my right ear, one Tragus peircing on the right ear and one in the flat part top of the ear. I have 2 lobe earrings in the left ear and a one helix as well. I have one in my tongue, one in my belly button, a dermal piercing implanted in my right hip and one bar bell through my va Jay jay 🤣 (i have the vertical clitoral hood peircing)
@mindyb2019 I have 6 in each ear, but to be fair, I don't wear earrings in any of my 3 lobe piercings on either ear, so I wear 3 earrings per ear. (That was a wildly redundant sentence, apologies lol) - have my rook and 2 helix piercings on the left side, then my tragus, daith and forward helix on the right side.

I am boring and just have my earlobes pierced now. I had a cartilage piercing and my belly button pierced in college but they have both long closed over. No tattoos ever because I never was into something enough to permanently put it on my body, and good thing because my husband is staunchly anti tattoo (for religious reasons) and probably wouldn’t have dated/married me! I’m terrified our kids will want them to rebel now and it will break my MIL’s heart 😬

😲 @mindyb2019 I need to hear more about this clitoral hood piercing!! I’ve always wondered what that must be like! What made you decide to get that one? Sorry if my questions get invasive lol just tell me to stop lol
@sgrn18 no your ok. Not being too invasive haha. I dont mind answering questions. It was a random thing to get one. I got one when I was much much younger. Lol I used to work with this girl who became my best friend and she had one at the time and I was curious about hers and thought it was cool so I said to her one day" I want one too!" she said ok let's go then. I said ok and then that day we went after work together to this peircing/ tattoo parlor and walked in and had it done. BOOM just like that 🤣 and I've had it ever since. Im glad I got it done though cause I LOVE it!! 😊 no regrets lol Mines a little barbell with a cute sparkly gem in it and so I think it adds some bling to my va Jay Jay 😆 I love having mine. It adds to sensation down there if you know what I mean 😉 It def adds pleasure when it's touched or licked or sex etc LOL It hurts like a SOB having it done but its really quick and over with. Its weird cause I've had it for so long that I cant imagine not having one now haha. Sometimes it gets super tender to touch or when it rubs against stuff but its good.
I have 2 tattoos. A water color pansy on my shoulder and a black and grey turtle with floral background on my shin. The pansy has a mockingjay silhouette in the middle for my deceased SIL, who drowned at age 18 and loved the Hunger Games. The turtle is for my eldest, who has a turtle shaped birth mark in the same spot on her shin. I plan on getting something for each of my kiddos on that leg. And would like more water color on my shoulder.
Married August 2010 DD1 August 2011 DD2 August 2013 DD3 February 2017
I had both ears pierced 3 times each and a nose ring. Now I hardly 1 set of earrings. 🤦🏽♀️
I have 6 tattoos. I had planned to get 1 in between my son and this baby but Covid. So afterwards I plan for 2-3 more. Tattoos are ankle, hip, ribs, upper back, and both wrists.
Um... lemme count... 17 piercings and 16??? tattoos... I think... unless I'm missing one somewhere?
I have 3 lip piercings (snakebites and philtrum), a septum piercing, and lots of various ear piercings. I pretty much have a full sleeve on my right arm, a bicep tattoo on my left arm, a 3-part chest piece, an upper back tattoo, both of my feet and both of my ankles.
I’m boring too! only 1 piercing in each ear. I don’t have anything meaningful enough to put on a tattoo but if the day ever comes I would totally do it.
I just have one piercing in each ear. Wanted a nose piercing for years and my mom always said she would do it with me, but we never did. I do have a tattoo designed that I might do some day. A nod/remembrance to our losses and IF journey/s.
I want a tattoo. I just haven’t had a chance to get it because of being pregnant or nursing. I heard you shouldn’t get one while doing that. I want one with my dogs paw on my wrist. I’m also scared to get it thinking I won’t sit still thru the pain! I know, I make it thru pregnancy and child birth, but not a tattoo lol
i have my ears triple pierced, with a 4th piercing on one bottom cartilage and then a top cartilage piercing, my nose, and my belly button was. Not anymore. So in total 10 piercings
I have my ears done twice plus my tragus. I had my ears done a 3rd and once at the top but they’ve since been removed.
My belly button was my all time favourite piercing but it grew over my first pregnancy after having my appendix out, they went through my belly button and by the time I recovered i couldn’t get my barbell back in.
I have 2 tattoos, one on my hip and one on the inside of my ankle.
