Title: Tattoos and Piercings
Post by: DOC_OSMC on January 17, 2014, 10:47:59 AM
Some have tattoos, some have their ears pierced, some have other things pierced, some have tattoos and everything pierced.   Who's got what?  What combinations do you all have?

I have both tattoos (right chest, right shoulder, half-sleeved right arm, and upper left arm), and my ears pierced (2 in the left, 1 in the right, but currently wearing just a silver stud in each ear).  I've always wanted to have the area under my bottom lip, where the soul patch grows, pierced and have a spike going through it.  Sadly, that time has come and passes.  I'd love to sleeve both arms, but the work I do, at least right now, keeps me from doing it.  The chest tattoo I can still hide with a button-up shirt so that's been a non-issue.

I've had both ears pierced sense I was like 12. Atm i have black half hoops that have little spikes on the ends.. Although I lost the spikes that twist on, but it still looks alright. I have 3 tattoos. All 3 on my left arm. The first one I got is a bull's head on my upper arm/shoulder, due to me being a taurus. Then on my forearm I have a Horde symbol tattoo from the game wow (probably weird to most who know/play wow, but it was a big part of my life). Then where the muscle is on the upper arm I have a treble cleff, but designed awsome, which I got to show my love for my sister. Music was always a big part of both of our lives so it works. Eventually I'd like to find some way to make it all into a full sleeve.

Personally I think pierced ears and a shaved head are a perfect combination.  I like ink, but I think at 62 I've left it a bit late.

I'm sportin' 11mm gauged lobes and on the way to 12mm (1/2") soon.

You mean like this?

Um, no!  That is a little too extreme!  Good Lord!

I wonder if they accounted for the drool factor?

Stud under the bottom lip I think looks good, but suspect it would be a step too far for my employer

Three tats so far with plans for at least 1 more, probably lots more.  I had a PA at one point, but I ended up not liking it an taking it out.

I'm 64, been getting tattooed since I was the ripe young age of fifty. Most recently, on January 16, 2014, I got some more ink on the front of my scalp. I am inked from the top of my head, down and around to my fingers and toes and everywhere in between.

My ear lobes are pierced at 5/8 inch, septum at 2 gauge, nipples at 00 gauge, PA at 2 gauge.

I think that might be enough for me, but then I occasionally get an irresistible itch somewhere which nothing but a needle can satisfy!

And Red, being 62 years old is not even a very good reason. It is definitely NOT an excuse!

I have no piercings, my work doesn't allow any jewelry on the job (railroad repair). I do however have a multitude of tattoos, starting when I was 15. I have a tribal half sleeve on my right upper arm, left upper arm has a bull and tribal band. I have a dragon on the back of my neck and my last name on my lower back. My daughter's name in script across my chest. Matching symmetrical skulls and stars on my forearms, a memorial on each calf muscle and my wife's initials on my ring finger since the no jewelry clause lol. Nowhere near done.......  :)

Some have tattoos, some have their ears pierced, some have other things pierced, some have tattoos and everything pierced.   Who's got what?  What combinations do you all have?

I was in a profession where such would be frowned upon, however I had the desire.  So, when I was forty I got a tat, a full bathing suit tattoo, a Japanese style that all a brief does.  As others know it is hard to stop.
So over the years since until my late sixties I continued with mods, still not easily visible.  Forearms tatted. Then pierces, at one time I had more than thirty that were within me brief, many of them stretched. Due to medical problems I no longer have any of pierces, but of course the tats and cuttings remain. I am now eighty two.

Having short hair was my first interest as a mod.  I buzzed very very when I was twenty and shaved head first in 1979.
