Tattoos and Piercings
« 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.

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. 

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!

17 tats I don't wear any earrings plugs or body jewelry anymore as I was a correctional officer for 3 years...but pierced I have nipples , tongue, right eyebrow, snake bites (one on each side of bottom lip)4 in each ear and the bottom ones were a 2 gauge.....I did an apprenticeship at a tattoo studio but found out it wasn't a job for me... I want to put the nipples back and stretch my ears back out ...maybe one day
