My Father HATED tatoos on women
and had VERY definite views about what was an acceptable Tatoo
and as to Names his Opinion was "Any an=me you have permanently put on your body better be someone you love from the day you are born till the day you die"
so after he died, I had one made of my Kids names
upper Right arm (bicept/tricept area)
I plan to have more, but not now
I M broke, and have not made any Definite Descisions

I have one piercing in each ear and no tattoos. I want a couple, though. But, like Doe, I am too chicken.

Speaking of Tattoos....My sister and mother gave themselves tattoos

I have five of them, one around my ankel, with roses. I have a five pointed star on my hip where people say I was kissed by the goddess. (but that's another story) I carry Inanna's 8 pointed Star on my shoulder and the inner third eye. I have a heart to represent my Heart Link to the spirit world on my heart. And I have an angel on my shoulder watching over me.

OH. and a Indian Tat on the back of my neck with feathers and a bear paw print.

The one on the neck was the most painful, but carries much meaning for me. And that's all folks... Love and Light Star*

MoonStone if you think the secent hole herts try a third hole in the cartlage yourself..took me like an hour. i use to have a belly ring but....like i said i scar weird and it took a year to heal after i took it out and now i have a huge ugly scare.

A lot of people get rejections / infections and bad scarring from bellybutton piercings, I know more people who have had an unsuccessful piercing than a successful one in those regions!

Anyway, I've had my ears pierced multiple times, but due to late-developing allergic eczema, all of them bar one closed up. So now I only wear one earring on one side, that's just the way I do things, and I'm used to it now.

I have no tattoos, and at this stage would probably only get sigils of the deities I am pledged to, like Vavale and Lesavny. But I am unsure, I am a changing and changeable person, and at this stage I'm not sure if it is wise for me to start changing my body.

As it is, I already have over 2 metres of surgical scars, and a few from ritual scarification also.

Only two holes in my right ear and one in the left. I had two in the left but, while sleeping, the damned earring got inside the hole, literally, and I had to go to a nurse to remove it because as soon as I started pulling it out, blood decided to come along *sigh*

I used to want a couple of tatoos and piercings but I guess I've grown out of it. Tatoos are a wonderful thing but I change my mind too easily and I'd get tired of them and, besides not having the money to make them or remove them, I don't want to be a 70 something year old woman with a frisky succubus/fairy/drow/any female fantasy being tatooed on her saggy skin. So I guess I'll just stay as I am.

In a fue mounths i will be 19 and i have been thinking very hard about a noise ring but like i said i scare so strange if i new it whouldnt leave a hige scare then i whould go right for it.

When i showed a woman my belly ring she said aw how cute! a fue minets later she chased me down (creppy ) and said just never get a tattoo! I looked at her confused and she said my sister got one when she was your age ( i was like 16? ) and she said anot now her cute little dofin looks like a big wale! so ...if you get a tatoo make sure it will still look cute if it streaches out a little...

That's another thing, women have to be aware that, if they intend to get preagnant, a tatoo in the belly will eventually stretch and you'll be unable to breast feed if you get a nipple ring. And then, like many people mentioned before, there's the scars, the infections, etc.

I've heard of a girl that her brow pierced and the piercing started to get inside of the hole and if she didn't get surgery as soon as she did, the piercing could've affected her sight.

That really put me off of doing a piercing in that spot XD

Also tounge rings if there done wrong then you can bleed to death i belive, there is a main artery that cose threw the toung and if its hit it will bleed a lot and if not taken to the hospital asap i have *herd* that you can bleed to death from it. Really i donno if thats true or not but it makes sence i guess.

I have 5 earrings in each ear placed in different places. I've got my nose, belly button and tongue pierced. There is something interesting to me about body piercing. I also love the rish you get after getting something pierced (as sick and sinister as that sounds--I guess if you aren't pieced, other than ears, you wouldn't understand). I'd love to get a tattoo one day (preferribly after I get married), but I don't know what I would want that would be there for life. I'd love to design my own tattoo. :P
