Graffiti, Tattooes, and Piercings

[Bakiryu]

I have uncountable body mods, sitting at... *counts* 12 piercings, 14 tattoos, stretched ear lobes (1/4 inch) and subdermal implants. I really think that people who shun those who are modified are extremely ignorant. Piercing, tattoo, etc, is not a commentary on somebody's intelligence or ability. It's simply a form of expression, and often a spiritual quest.

woah, you're actually allowed to do that? at your age?! *shocked*

I only have 8 piercings (soon to be 13) all self-made, semi-stretched lobes (nothing too big) and am still waiting to get a tat.

^I live in Ontario. Piercing is legal without parental consent at age 16, tattoo is allowed at 16 WITH parental consent, but I'm a legally emancipated minor so I can get stuff done XD. My subdermal work is a gift from a friend of mine who works as a piercer. He's pierced me so many times we've become really good friends and he knows I'm responsible, ergo the work he does for me.

damn, I envy you woman. If I want a piercing i have to do it myself. I guess that's why I haven't pierced my lip yet, it terrifies me.

it's so nice not having to worry about not being allowed to do something because of age...

I don't think people should be judged or discriminated against because of bodyart either... it is ignorant.. I see it as another form of art, bodyart, and a very pure and personal expression of self and spirit.. it is often very spiritual.. it's often a reminder, a memory... mine are...

I guess this thread is old, but I never saw it.

None of the poll options are appropriate for me. I don't have a tattoo and I don't want one. But it's not because I think they are gross and it's not because I'm worried what society will think (clothes usually cover most of me anyway, if I was). I highly appreciate nice tattoos that are creative and look good. I just don't want one myself. Just like I don't, I dunno, wear jewelry (I'm female, btw). I just don't (my ears aren't even pierced). They just aren't adornments that I feel like having.

Somehow a rumour had gotten out that i had a tattooed rose down my back... Very absurd. The rumour spread as far as other schools I found out when a friend of mine their asked me for confirmation! :O Regarding tattoos, i think some of them can be very attractive. I would have nothing against having one, but would really have to have a reason, as well as a well considered motive. If I were to do it, I would also go somewhere known, where the artists are well recognised for their skill.

Tramp Stamp? I haven't heard that before. It that the butterfly girls get on their lower backs just above the rear? I've heard it referred to as a target before...

[1n50mn14]

Tattoos I wish I hadn't gotten: my belated sweet sixteen birthday party, lots and lots of alchohol, and the numbers 1-10 on the back of my knuckles.

The one I don't regret, that I love dearly: little celtic seahorses on the inside of my left wrist.

Actually, any tattoo on a woman's lower back is a tramp stamp, it tells everyone you're easy. As least that's what all my guy friends say.

[Poetess]

I have no tattoos, and I don`t even think of having any. I am a piercings person - 12 piercings.

[Lily Adams]

If I was ever to get a tattoo it would be a barcode on the inside of my left wrist so the system could recognize me like in Idiocracy.

so three nights ago, having fun, just back from seeing a musical, I finally decided to tattoo the words "Ars Longa, Vita Brevis" on my body... I'd been thinking of it for quite some time... and well there is no time like the present, so I pulled out my calligraphy pen, my india ink and went to work on the inside of my left wrist, and after an hour and half or so of jabbing a pointed pen into my arm I was done... it is going to need a touch up to darken the lines but I'll wait for a couple weeks until it is fully healed... tattooing yourself, especially when you only have one hand to use, is quite hard... especially when doing the oldfashioned dip and poke... but it is an incredibly rewarding experience... it is creating art on yourself...

that's such an absurd notion... I don't understand why people have to judge others like that, just for placement of a tattoo... somewhat absurd...

they all sound nice... tattoos are another form of self expression, artistic creativity, whether your own, or anothers... I think they're amazing as long as they mean something to you.. I'm not really into the walk into a tattoo shop and get something you see in a little album because it looks really cool... there has to be some kind of meaning and importance...


Is it a tramp stamp for a guy to get something tattooed on his lower back... a girl I know told me it was... and I guess why shouldn't it be the same for male and female... so silly... I want to get a haida raven at the base of my spine, with a vine growing up my spine, and spreading across my upper back with blooming wild nootka roses... this one will mean alot to me... Now I just need someone who can draw much better than I to design it for me... and i haven't met a tattooist who I trust with this one yet...

anyone here like to draw????

[stephofthenight]

So I have multiple piercings, and I find them and tats. addicting. does anyone else share this sentiment? What Piercings do you have? and do you think that they are addicting?
