Rebellion/piercings and tattoos

I was never a massive fan of tattoo's till I started watching Miami Ink on Discovery Real time which is all about tattoo's and it is amazing!

Still don't think I'd actually get one but it does show a whole other side to tattoo's. Think in a dreamland I'd like a rainbow ending in a pot of gold don't know where I'd put it tho?

I don't mind discreet tattoo's on men but wouldn't be instantly attracted to man covered in tattoo's that would be very off-putting to me. Piercings too, I have my ears pierced in the normal place and once in the top of my right ear but again wouldn't be instantly attracted to a man covered in piercings, I think that would put me off too. I certainly couldn't ever take him home, my mum would have a fit!!! lol

I think someone else has said it, but I don't like colour tattoos at all. Small, plain black tattoos are okay though, on some people and in the right place. I think that somewhere 'hidden' is much better, personally, I don't think it's something that I'd want to be visible all the time if I were to get one.

But I won't ever get one, because the words my friend said to me after she had hers done were "Don't ever have a tattoo, that was the most painful thing ever." Saying that, she wants another one now!

Right, now, back to me!! :P I'm still deciding where to have my next ear peircing. I quite like the look of the rook (I think that's what it's called, it says 'Inner ridge') in this picture. http://www.body-piercing.co.uk/800by600/access_pictures/piercings/inner-ridge-&-tragus2.jpg It looks like it could be quite painful though. :(

One final thought from me on tattoos: ever seen an old person with them? They move and sag and change with the elasticity of the skin (as well as fading)... What once might have been a beautiful motif probably won't be by then - and the thought of burning it off with a laser doesn't really appeal to me. I've said it before, but each to their own I guess...

Did they numb it beforehand? I had the top of my ear peirced they numbed it with some sort of freezing spray stuff and it didn't hurt at all. I didn't even realise when he had done it, I could just feel him tugging on my ear and was waiting for the pain to start when he told me it was all done! :)

I had my left ear peirced because I usually sleep on my right side, but for a few weeks afterwards I kept on waking up and I was lying on my left side. I never sleep on my left side, it was weird!

Ha that's kinda like me Bexy. When I got my eyebrow pierced I got the left one done,cause I always sleep on my right but then as soon as I got it done,I found more comfort lying on my left side! Just paranoid about it getting ripped or pulled in my sleep,but no my body decides to feel more at comfort on the piercing side ha ha

One of my mates got the skin on their wrist pierced, it's just asking to be snagged on something.

My friend had an anti eyebrow [ http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewImage&friendID=61550648&albumID=0&imageID=3622735 ] and it got ripped out by some drunk guy waving his arms about, she's got quite a nasty scar there now but want's it re-done, it's gonna hurt so much more if she does.

i want my lip pierced

I'd say do it but I'd a "bad influence" apparently. Would you parents/work/anyone else be cool with it? If they would be then you're so lucky, took me about a year to convince my mum

Ahhh I have so much to say on this topic...

But I'm not convinced and your hopeless hearts won't stick. For the first time I know, this is now who I am.

I've never had a piercing. One of my mum's relatives had an earring ripped out while fighting with her brother as a kid, so my mum said I had to be 16 before she'd let me. It's just never really appealed to me to get anything pierced.

    • I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.
    • Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them. 
    • Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter
    • Oh I though they were nbh studios   
    • Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.  
    • Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.
    • Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...
    • I assume it's meant to appeal to a TikTok generation
    • Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.
    • I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
    • He does what the show needs regardless of how annoying some people may find his presentation style is like. I feel and very much do hope he is in for the long haul and could atleast do four years where his energy may into be as always as bouncy. But he has the knowledge, passion and interaction and not so overbearing but very much so sense of confidence that you need. I think he could easily have a good Zane Lowe like era. Just hope that they consider doing a new late night live music show as I do miss that something of what he had in the early days of the indie show and when Huw Stephens was on live at the after ten slot
    • Speaking of the sessions, they've been renamed Live Gigs for any forum members not listening to the show & reading this later
    • I’ve found the jingles are annoying and going to grate on the listener quickly. It’s a good opening week with big name hottest records and sessions
    • With the effects I'm half expecting a massive whoooooo soon
