Body piercings and the like

[Jedthehumanoid]

I've just seen a young man with a huge hole in his ear with the most delightful purple object keeping his pride and joy intact. I know I'm getting older but can someone explain this form of self mutilation to me

Not a great fan of tattoos either

[Kazimiera]

I had a number of them in my teenage years but gave them up after a while. I had a smiley until last year and I took it out because I was afraid it would affect my gums.

Here is an example of a smiley (this is not me, by the way)


Other than that I have two in my lady bits:

• horizontal clitoral hood
• triangle piercing (as it is a highly specialised piercing which is potentially dangerous I had to look long and hard to find someone qualified to do it)

Not really my thing either--tats or all the piercings.

I find it odd, but who am I to judge?

I have had a smiley for 2 years now.



I also have a septum. I used to have my lip pierced and I used to have small 6mm tunnels.

I've got tattoos and a tongue-bar.
I love them and so does my boyfriend.

I used to have both earlobes pierced twice, my left ear cartilage, my lip, and tongue pierced. Took 'em all out when I was 20. Have two tattoos. I just liked the way the piercings looked when I was younger. Then I didn't. Not much to explain. lol

Having any form of "tramp stamp" and/or one of those ridiculous stretched-ear piercing things will instantly put you in my friendzone.

Tramp stamp = You're a slut.

Stretched-ear piercing = You follow trends regardless of how fucking stupid they make you look.

Now,that's a real tragedy

So, apart from tramp stamps and stretchers, you're okay with body mod? Is that what you're saying?
What if said tramp stamp was, say, a memorial to family members gone by, or friends that you'd lost? Because the back is the only area big enough to put such a thing.


Edit: Here's my ink and piercing.



Tongue bar.



Triskele: My first ever tattoo. Got it to represent what I've been through in my life, and how I've come out alive. Now, whenever I look at it, it reminds me that no matter which way life decides to throw me, I'll always land on my feet.



Voice of The Otherworld: My most recent tattoo. The nickname that was given to me after I appeared on the Eluveitie album "Everything Remains (As It Never Was)", on the intro track "Otherworld".



Celtic Sun: Second ever tattoo. Probably the only random tattoo that I'll ever get, even if it does represent how part of my family did originate Northern Ireland.
