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?

[Timsk]

Discreet tattoos I can see the appeal of, but going so far as Beckham has now (and JT too?) is too far in my opinion. And I guess my earlier posts already give my views on piercings... Each to their own though.

[goldengirl]

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

[Bexy]

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!! 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...

[goldengirl]

Don't know what the pain is like at different parts of the ear but I got the top of mine done and it was bloody agony!!! I got the top of my right ear done and that is the side I sleep on!!! Ouch, ouch, ouch!!! Took months and months to stop being sore!!!

[Bexy]

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!

[suzie_j7]

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

[Mafro]

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

[goldengirl]

Did they numb it beforehand?

Yeah I think they did, it wasn't sore at the time just when the freezing wore off

[Kelly]

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

Ew! I shudder at the thought!

[goldengirl]

I also saw skin implants on Miami Ink! The girl had a spiral thing under the skin on her wrist! Again, WHY???

[Mafro]

I hate those, they look bloody horrible.

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'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...

I didn't think that was possible :shock:

[Dynamoo]

I didn't think that was possible :shock:

Anywhere is possible. I'm not even joking

[Riz]

When you say 'anywhere' it makes me go weak at the knees...

Like the "Prince Albert Piercing" lol

People with weak stomachs should not google this

[Jono]

People with weak stomachs should not google this

Bless, Dynamoo the piercing expert didn't know of it

[Grace]

I think that's what a family friend had done. Ouch is all I can say.

[goldengirl]

lol, sorry folks, hence the reason there was no pic or link

[Lucinda]

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.

[Dynamoo]

Bless, Dynamoo the piercing expert didn't know of it

Actually Jono I knew what it was, I just didn't want people seeing it if they're gonna hurl because it's a bit... graphic. So shh
