Tattoos & Piercings (body art)

They are also always temporary, as your skin will always reject surface pierchings. So you have to pay every time you want them to be done.

I've also been told by several piercing folks that eyebrow piercing will always reject, though it depends on the person as to how long it takes for it happen. I know one of my friends had hers reject after three months or so, but for some others they've had theirs for a few years before they start rejecting. Apparently it's too close to the bone for it to be permanent or something like that.

Hahaha. I knew a girl with one in her mouth up infront of her two front teeth. It was pretty gross.

I could have sworn I posted here? Well, whatever.

I have my nose and ears pierced. I got my ears done when I was 5 (I believe), and it hurt. For me, anyway. And I got my nose done 2 years ago, it didn't hurt badly. Except I think the guy did it wrong because the stud kept falling out, so I had to get it re-done and that one kinda hurt.

I'm thinking of getting a tattoo when I'm older, but I don't know what to get yet.

There was someone who posted they were a big nerd and had a Myst tattoo on thier lower arm. Not to fret my friend. I too am a nerd (coolest nerd you'll know!) and would love to have the Trifroce tattoo'ed or scarified on the back of my left hand. Unfortunately I work at a bank and my boss has already sort of shook her head at my beard.
I'm going to test the waters by giving myself a tantoo. I'll gauge thier reaction. I figure at worst they'll ask me to cover it with a bandaid.

Nah. They dont always reject. I had a friend who had one for years and years. I guess it just depends on the person and where exactly the piercing goes in the eyebrow.

I have some tats planned.

this on my arm some where


then my wifes name on my other arm and our children's names below hers.

^ What if you two get divorced?

Ew, that reminds me of a picture I saw once of a tongue piercing that was a bar across the length of the tongue, instead of just poking through the middle. It looked painful and just ridiculous.

So it hasn't rejected yet? :P

Unless you're already married with kids, isn't it a bit early to plan that?

so what if I am married already? nothing wrong with that though I am only 19, I love my wife and I don't mind getting a little ink for her, or my kids.

cand, its ok alot of folks around here are young. Its a natural reaction.

Also yeah i can totally see people getting their kids names or something relating to them as a tat!

I would never get a piercing. Maybe a Tattoo.

And I would never date a girl with a bunch of piercing -_- Have you seen those nasty ones where there is like 10 rings with a string going through them?!?!

Good god.

That's why I said unless, dude! I don't know anything about you, didn't know if you were married or not.

oh come on I knew you were just joking I know you that well

how about a tat of stevo on my back? I am in no way making fun of ValaVarda in this post >.> I promise.

I don't think I would ever get a tattoo or a piercing but I have nothing against them as long as they're somewhat tasteful. A girl in my school year got her hip pierced.. just completely pointless, imo. Just ugly, if anything.
