How many do you have? Where? Did they hurt? What do you want to have done or is it way to freaky!?

I'm probably one of the odd ones, BUT...I don't like tattoos - for myself, anyway. I don't care if anyone has them or likes them, but it's not for me. Piercings are kinda cool though.

Had my eyebrow done twice...first time was September 99...kept it in till June 00 when I was forced to take it out because I had surgery (pretty dumb, since the surgery was on my gallbladder, nowhere near my EYEBROW!). Anyway. Second time was February 01...only had it in for about 2 months, because it got infected and I got a nasty tumor looking lumpy thing on my eye, and took it out. Grrrr. Both times it hurt a little bit, nothing major, less than my ears did. The first time hurt more than the second, only because the guy was a major MORON and didnt know what the hell he was doing. I would like to get it done again...3rd times a charm :)

Oo tattoos!! I have one on my upper back, sorta between my shoulder blades. It's a way cool fairy, and she is flying between some purple flowers. :) I love it.

right nostril pierced. i'm going to (someday) get my bellybutton done because i think they look really sexy (mrowr) . i'm also going to get a tattoo of the hebrew phrase "ein sof," which means "infinite" or "endless," on my shoulder blade.

I had my nose done about 4 years ago along with my belly button. I took the naval piercing out as it wasn't done propery and was close to tearing. I have a nasty scar from it, but I hope to get it done again. I got my nose redone about two years ago as it had grown over due to my laziness. I've wanted to get my tongue done for quite some time but never got around to it. I was quite close to getting a labret peircing way back when, but realized it wasn't for me. I have a few earings, but like, big deal.

Mmmm...I love everything about getting pierced-- the antiseptic smell, the endorphin rush, the giddy anticipation, admiring my new and improved body part, the pain, the pleasure, the cute tattooed girls who have worked on me, the feeling of control it gives me...

I've had my nostril, my upper ear cartilege and my clitoral hood (vertical)done. All were painful, all were worth it, even if the hood piercing didn't take. After five weeks it was still sore and irritated even with sea salt soaks so I took it out. I miss it like hell. I loved the way it looked with the dark blue ring with the lavender bead.

I've been craving a new piercing. Hmmm, what to get? More ear? Tongue? The hood again? Nipple? So many choices!
