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:rolleyes:

Not a great fan of tattoos either:cool:

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)

[Allenson]

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.

[Mechanolater]

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.

[Behemot]

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.

[Wonder]

A 'normal' ear piecing is one thing, but those huge gauges that people have are gross. Basically I find any piercings other than on ears gross. Tattoos are ok for some people, like if you go all out with them like Kat Von D, but I don't get why girls get little stars tattooed on their feet or hands...

Yeah tattoos and piercings are fine as long as it's nothing ridiculous.


Also who the hell would get a tramp stamp to remember a deceased relative?

Because not everyone spends their entire waking life criticising and belittling others, and are actually unaware that some judgemental people (mostly bitter men) are calling it a "tramp stamp".

Hey I'm not trying to insult anyone, I'm just saying I wouldn't want a relationship with someone who has a tramp stamp.

If they got it to remember a deceased relative then I guess that would be fine but I've never heard of anyone getting a tattoo on their lower-lower-back/ass for that purpose.

I would. And plan to very soon.
It wouldn't be just one person I'll be remembering.
It'll be all the friends and family that I've lost, even the family members that I never met.

I don't think you quite understand why the majority of people get tattoos. It's not just for the Hell of it, and believe it or not a lot of thought goes into a tattoo. Like I said. The back is the only area of skin that's big enough to have a memorial tattoo. It wouldn't be just names I'll be putting on my back. It'll be a proper tattoo design which I've already worked out and just waiting to get enough money to have done.

[rhiannon]

I have my earlobes pierced and that's all.

No tats, either:)

However, I don't really care what other people choose to do, even if some of it strikes me as pretty odd.

I wouldn't have a problem with that.

[Talvi]

Well, the back would be a good place to get a tattoo. Nice wide empty space :D

I would like to get a tattoo, but I would need to choose something really beautiful. I kind of know what I want... but I just need to find the right kind now.

[Arthas]

I've always wanted to get this tattooed somewhere on my body. It's simple with a strong message. What do you all think?
