Do you have a tattoo or body piercing?

Oh I'm sure many, maybe even most people that have tatoos like them, and that's great. I just personally don't know any.

At one point I had my ears triple pierced, but then I stopped wearing earrings. I also have 3 tattoo's with all 3 being on my ankles. The first is a heart that I got after my marriage broke up, because I still believed in love. The second I got is the tri-circle Mickey in black, because...it's Mickey. The third one I got this past weekend after thinking about it for a long time. It is a cancer awareness ribbon for Leiomyosarcoma which I was diagnosed with in 2010.

Three piercing, one in my left earlobe and two in my right earlobe.

No tattoos and will probably never get one --- not because of how they look, but because I have a rare blood type and am a highly recruited regular donor!

Late to the conversation, but I have a single tattoo of a scorpion on my right arm. I chose that because my wife is a Scorpio. I had always meant to get my daughters' names tattooed on my other arm, but now that we're all older, I'm not sure the impact would be quite the same, and I figure the money could be better spent.

I also used to have an earring in my left ear, but the hole healed over a looong time ago.

I have 3 tattoos, a sorcerer mickey head on the top of my right foot, the word believe with a small hidden mickey in the lettering on my left ankle and 3 small hearts that are my kids birthstone colors on my wrist! I also have a tiny nose stud!

...hey see that satanic skull I want that right in the middle of my back...

That sounds like my tattoo!


Just kidding. No tats here, just a single piercing in each ear.

I think that I've mentioned this on Intercot before, but a few years ago I saw a girl with small tattoos on the inside of her wrists, which looked OK, and I considered getting something similar. Well I didn't, and it's a good thing that I didn't because not long after I got pulled over because I looked exactly like a 'wanted person' in the town next to mine. I was picking up some Chinese food and when I went into the restaurant there was one police car nearby. When I got out of the restaurant, there were two police cars nearby and they followed me to the point where I would have crossed over the border into the next town before they pulled me over. Long story short, they knew that I wasn't the wanted person because she had tattoos on the insides of her wrists, otherwise I probably would have ended up in the hoosegow in Little Silver, NJ. Of course, when I got home, everyone was wondering what took me so long.

Anyway, if I were to get one, I'd rather it be in a place where you can't see it, even when in a swimsuit, but someplace that gravity won't easily affect. But I doubt that I'll ever get one - rare is the tattoo that still looks good after a few years or decades.

No piercing and No tats...

Never thought tats were all that appealing...

My mom may have shaped my opinion as a child...

"When your 4 you would want a tat of Barney but when your 7 you will think why did I get that tat of Barney that was stupid"

it went something like that.

I guess the moral of the story was just because you like it today doesn't mean you like it on your body for the rest of your life.

I guess that has always stuck with me...

so no tats for me

No piercings or tats...yet. I do plan on getting a tat and when I find the picture of what it is I want I'll post it.

I have one tattoo on my upper left arm in memory of my grandfather, and I'm thinking about getting another one for my grandmother who recently passed away.

At 55 I doubt that I'll have any regrets about getting it done. Mickey & the Corps will always have a special place in my heart.

Thanks for posting! Your photo link will probably be deleted 'cause links aren't allowed on these boards. But I found it by doing a Google image search of "Mickey shaking hands with Marine."

I'm 43. No tattoos, because I'm a little scared both of the process and that I would change my mind and regret it later. Also, only my ears are pierced.

When I was 16, I wanted to get them double-pierced but my mom said no. So, I did the second hole on my left ear myself with a thick needle and an ice cube, then felt a little head rush and never got around to doing the right ear. I never wear earrings in that second left ear hole, but I try now and then and I'm always shocked that it's still open. That's the extent of my rebellion. I was usually happy to let my older sister be the rebel while I got the praise for doing the right thing. My husband (47) and son (21) are tattoo and piercing free. My daughter(18) only has her ears pierced (when she was 8 and I told her it wouldn't hurt much and have never lived it down).

That is so funny, Sherri! I asked to get double-pierced and my mom also said no! So when I was 16 and visited my sister at Georgetown in D.C., I got a second hole in my left ear. My mom was annoyed with my sister and me, but she got over it. And that was the extent of my rebellion too. I never wear anything in my 2nd hole either, but it is still open as well.

No tattoos. I might have considered it when I was younger, but I've never felt so strongly that I needed a visual representation of something on my body. Plus I'm not big on pain.

That would make a super awesome tattoo!
