Do you have any tattoos or piercings? If so, where and of what?
If not, would you ever get one? What would it be and where?
Personally, I dont have one but I want one!! I wanna get the symbol for Capricorn tattooed on the back of my neck... I'm hoping that once Adrian learns how to tattoo, he can design it for me and tattoo it... That would be perfect.... And, I've always wanted my tongue pierced but I've never had the nerve! Maybe I'll do it this week before I have to start work! LoL

I know better than to get a tattoo because I know that I'll think it's cool atfirst, but them it will get old,,, I personally have never seen a 70+ yr. woman with tats, and really dont think it would be very appealling, so I dont want to be one. I admire others' tattoos though, but I know they are not for me. Piercings-I had my ears done at 11, they closed up when I was 12 and I havent had them redone since,,I need to though. I guess I wouldnt mind belly jewelry, but I could just as easily live with out it. I am one of those people who think that every body is beautiful naturally, short-tall-large-small, etc. I think the body is a masterpiece work of art all by itself. I think that well,,umm,, 'additives' take away from one's natural beauty. And hey now all you tattoo junkees and piercees, no one come beat me up,,that just the way I am<<LOL.

I have one tattoo right now.. of a Grateful Dead Terrapin (a turtle) holding a tamborine with the Steal Your Face Symbol on it.

I definitely want to get more and once I get some extra money I will be going for my second one. I want to get a paw print, a lady bug and a purple peace sign with white roses wrapped around it.

I'm not too much into piercings. I have my ears pierced and would like to get another hole in each. I also used to have my belly button pierced. I think tattoos are just so much more interesting and unique to each person.

i was very into piercings and tattoos when i was younger but not so much any more. luckily i still like my tattoos! lol

i've got three earrings in one ear and four in the other, though i only wear one set of earring at a time due to laziness.

i have my nose pierced, belly button and nipple too.

i've got three tattoos, a rosebud and butterfly which matched with my old best friend's tattoo (got it done at 15 and we havent spoken in hmmm, 4 years now. lol)

a lotus/lilly on my back to remind me to stay calm and focused.

a daisy and tribal symbol on my foot which co-ordinates with my bf's tribal symbol on his back.

i want to get a little leo symbol but have run out of space!

i have 4 eyebrow rings, 2 on each one. tounge, bellybutton, 4 in one ear, 6 in the other (the first 2 are stretched out to a 4 g for now) and i used to have my labret, i just took it out. (it was ruining my gums) and i have 3 butterfly tattoos one on my foot, a small one on the inside of my ankle, and across my upper back with some tribal stuff. now my sister wants to get chinese symbols for older sister and younger sister, so i guess ill be getting another one!! not sure where yet, maybe on the inside of my wrist or by my elbow on the inside. i dont think i will get anymore piercings becasue i dont really want them in anyother spots! and who knows if this will be my last tattoo or not i dont really plan them they just happen!

I have my ears pierced, but nothing more exotic as far as that goes. I'm letting the third holes close up and keeping only two in each.

I do have one tattoo on my lower back. It is in kanji (Japanese characters) and says "Yonsei", which translates to "fourth generation" in English. My great-grandparents came to the US from Okinawa and each generation has it's own distinction. They were Issei, my grandmother is Nisei, my mother is Sansei; my future kids will be Gosei. My tattoo is not only a descriptive piece of myself, but also honors those before me and those to come.


I would like to get another tattoo but my mom stole my idea for a design.
Yep, in her mid-50s she decided to get a tattoo! Go Mom!

3, soon to be 4 tattoos .. I tend to get keloid scars from piercings, so I don't have any (also, I'm allergic to metal.. my body rejects the rods totally).

Left Shoulder Blade: Leviathan
(Strength, Don't lose yourself to the tide, Water is my sign and symbol. I'm tied to it infinately. It is also a talisman)

Centerback: Butterfly
(it's actually my Maiden initials--I'm happy I got this one especially, now that I'm married. It represents my roots. No matter what happens, no matter who I meet, I will always be my parents child, and that's a part of them, as well as a part of me.)

Lower Back: Fairy in some thick tribalwork
(Maintain your innocence, bookmark of my first step in MY life)
I may later in life have the tribalwork removed and replace them with some more delicate vinework, as it is, it's a little to bold, but I still love it.

WILL BE on my right shoulder Blade: Gargoyle (To watch over me, To protect me)

here's the old tatt post. there were a lot of pics but probably most are gone now.

http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18750

I have a tattoo of the bacardi bat on my lower back. At time I think it's sooo cool and then at other times I'm sort of disappointed in my self for getting it so I love that it's a place that's easily covered. It was one of those college things and I get a ton of compliments on it because it's just weird.

I used to have my belly button pierced but I took out the piercing last month, just got tired of it (now I have a scar there, oh well). I have my ears double pierced.

As for tattoos... don't tell anyone (my parents still don't know) but I have 3. The symbol for happiness on my front hip, a butterfly on my lower back (waaaay lower back) and a pink daisy in the middle of my lower back.

As for regretting them... I actually kind of do - I dress so that I don't show them off because I don't like people seeing my daisy (the only one that can be seen) and I wish it was smaller and somewhere else. The happiness symbol is too small and doesn't look good, the butterfly doesn't look that great and the daisy I like... but it has vines that remind me of snakes. If I had the money I probably would get them removed but oh well. And I think when I get old I won't care - when I'm 80 I doubt I'm gonna be checking myself out in the mirror.

I have three holes in each ear (I only use two though, the third has probably closed up by now)

I have my belly button pierced, but I just took it out because I'm pregnant and it looked silly! I'll probably have it re-done once I'm done having kids!

I think it's really important to get a tattoo that has a meaning... and not something that will lose its important over time... That's why I want the capricorn symbol.. Im a Cappy to the core... and I want it on my neck because I dont want it to be totally visible... I think the most unattractive thing is a big ugly tattoo in plain site... My cousin's wife has a big firemans hat on her right shoulder blade and it was totally visible at their wedding... hideous!

I'm gonna talk to Nikki about possibly getting matching Chinese symbols for Friendship.... possibly on our ankles... That would be awesome... and the Big Sister - Little Sister idea is awesome... my sister wants to get a tattoo... maybe I'll mention it...

Oh! I am gonna get my father's shield and badge number tattooed on my lower back... when I was thinking of going into the police department I was gonna have a tattoo done of both our shields... I was hoping I could get his old badge number and I would have put "Like Father.... Like Daughter" encircling it... that was idea but so much for that... lol

I have my labret pierced (right below my bottom lip), I had it done last year. I also have one tattoo on my upper, right arm. It is a dragon done in black and white, with shading that nobody has seen before. It is a style of shading that is too hard to explain, so I will post a picture of it soon.

I have my ears double peirced ( yeah, I know.. no big deal). I used to have my tounge pierced, but I took it out right before I had my son Cameron. I've thought about having it done again though.
I also have a kanji on my right ankle that stands for love, and my name on my upper right arm (which I will probably cover at some point because I am tired of people asking me if I got it so I could remember my name. I got it when I was RIGHT out of high school.

My friend did a similar thing but she got hers on her ankle, and she's known for being kind of promiscuous so of course the remembering the name thing is a lot more raunchy.. haha.. But she's ready to cover hers up too.

I just got my belly button pierced in October, other than that I just have 2 holes in each ear, but I only use 1. I have a butterfly tattoo on my lower right leg and a 4 leaf clover on my back right above my left shoulder blade, but as soon as I come up with the money that one is coming off!
