We've been talking about it in other threads... now you can talk about your tattoos/piercings here.
Really, I just made the thread so I can put up pics of my pretty new purple jewelry. But I guess the rest of you can add stuff too.

This is from a few days ago, I just switched to plugs. The holes are bigger than they look, the swirly color is just skin toned.

My tramp stamp. I got this a a pretty cool shop in St. Louis, MO. And I didn't pay for it either.
On my left shoulder blade-ish area. I'm not happy with this one because the guy who did it, obviously, f*cked it up. I have had it touched up, but I doubt there's any other way to fix it. Too much scarring.
I'd like to get another tat before the year is out. But time is short and I have no idea what I wanna get. I've got some ideas, but none are really stickinig for too long. :/

It's a 4. The plugs look a lot bigger, although I think they've got a 2 g flare...

^^ What's so bad about the one on your shoulder? The lines don't really look that straight, but the style kind of lends itself to not being perfectly straight lines, yanno?
Mine:
Capricorn sign
Parents' coats of arms
Paw print and bindrune for 'wolf'
EDIT: 4 doesn't look so big. Maybe I can just start doing it and Todd won't notice?

^^ I was 18, it was my first tattoo, and I wasn't paying attention to the jack ass who did it. I later found out he was pretty much wasted the day he did mine. Like I said,the scarring is horrific and talking to one artist, he said it'd be hell to try to fix.

Thanks. My friend designed it for me. She's doing her very first tattoo tomorrow... I wish I lived out there so she could tattoo me, but ah well.

I want to one day get a bunch of tattoos all over my left arm that look like arm joints and finger joints and wrist joints.... basically make it look like a mechanical/doll arm.

Right now I'm visiting Miami and I walked passed Miami Ink and never wanted a tattoo more. I think I want Autumn leaves falling down my forearm and when I'm older I want some lyrics around my wrist, but I don't know which ones yet.
Love!
I shall not love,
yet I'll still sing about it.
I hope it covers the ocean in slime,
the drama and drool.
I'm leaking the blood of a fool.

Fall and winter are my favorite times to get tattooed, seeing as I'm a FREAK about aftercare and you're supposed to keep them covered for a couple weeks and not submerge them in water. My wings were started in the winter, but the sessions were spread out and they were not completed until June (2006) for many reasons, stuff kept coming up. Not being able to swim or wear tanktops after that last session made me insane. I'm a fish.
I yell at my sister all the time for not sunscreening her back tattoo when it's exposed. I even BOUGHT her goddamn sunscreen. Well since I'm the big sis here too, remember kids. Take care of your tattoos! I am watching.
I'm curious, what does everyone say when people tell you you're going to regret it in 68064058 years (so to speak)? I tell them that I think NOT having done something I wanted to do in my 20s because I was too worried about that would be infinitely more regretful and tragic. Life's too short, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow. No one's really been able to argue that.
so right so wrong, another winter's coming on

^ I pretty much say the same.
And these are my plugs. I took a picture just for Heather
EDIT: Sorry it's blurry, I used my mom's ancient digital camera.

My tattoos are pretty much hidden so the only people that really see them are my family. My mom was so disappointed when I got my 3rd tattoo. It upset me a lot, actually. I mean, here I am totally excited and in love with the new piece of art on my back and she's looking at it like she's disgusted.
Then there's my husband. I get all nervous every time I want another one because I know I have to go through him... and he really doesn't like them. So I'm constantly torn between doing what I want to do and trying to make him happy too. I mean, he's going to have to look at the tattoo for the rest of his life too and I think he has a valid say in it... I wouldn't want him doing something hideous to his body, ya know? Plus, they're f*cking expensive!
But I have two huge hurdles that I can't get over right now.
1) I really want a tattoo that's more visible -- I have a great design for one right on the ball of my shoulder. But I'm still apprehensive about it... like, how is it going to look when I'm wearing a cocktail dress 30 years from now? I guess I'm still buying into the whole "you're going to regret that" thing. But I can't get over it yet.
2) Every tattoo I've had has meaning to me... something to do with my family. My husband's letting me get another tattoo done for my birthday. I've been in love with day of the dead skulls lately. My friend drew up a great design for me and I LOVE it. But for some reason I'm all freaked out because it's got NO meaning to me whatsoever. It's just cool looking.
Gah. I'm indecisive and I've promised myself to never get a tattoo unless I'm completely positive about it. If I'm going to get this done, it's got to be over Christmas vacation because I'm doing it on my foot and it's going to be VERY uncomfortable to walk on for a few days... so this way I won't be working.

Another question for people who have tattoos:
What kind of aftercare do you do?
I always went by the "let it breathe" philosophy and only put a light layer of A&D on it once or twice a day for a few days.
My friend was visiting from London when I got my last tattoo though & she said they do aftercare completely different. At least at the tattoo shop she's apprenticing at. They keep it moist 24/7 by putting a layer of A&D on it and then wrapping it with saran wrap. The saran wrap stays one 24 hours a day (you have to change it when it gets all nasty) for a week.
At first, I thought that was a horrible idea... not letting it breathe at all. But I tried and and I've gotta tell you -- the tattoo was big and had a lot of black in it and I didn't need a single touch up. Plus it didn't peel as much and I never got that really uncomfortable, tight feeling.

Like Heather, mine are both on my back. People wouldn't know I had 'em unless I said so or my shirt lifted a litte over my back. And even if they did, that's why I have two things I know I'll never regret. I'm Irish and I'm Christian. Simple enough, eh?
Which is also why I'm having a hell of a time deciding what I want next. I want something that is so completely me and will still mean something important to me. I've toyed with the idea of a band tat of some sort, but am kind of sketchy about it (no, Heather, I won't get a giant deathbat across my chest). And I'm definitely not going to get any army sh*t. That's like seeing a bunch of kids wearing the same band tee to that band's concert.
Honestly, I get a lot fo inspiration from my dad. Even if he is a hypocrite about tattoos; the man has like, 15 and was upset when my sister and I came home with 'em....I got the shamrock idea from him and since he has a Zeppelin and Stones tat each, I think it's kind of cool to get something like that done; they're his two favorite bands.
But again, I don't know. I could go with more celtic, but then I'd start to see it as overkill.
I just don't know. :/
EDIT: ^ My cross was exposed, my shamrock was covered. This is probably another reason why the shamrock looks as good as it does.

I design my own tats.
I'm going to get a coffin with chains and a padlock holding it closed with a broken skeleton key under it and it's going to say "Live Forever."
Also, my friend got the Decemberunderground logo on his left shoulderblade and he wants me to get the same thing on my right shoulderblade, except outlined.
That way, it's the same, but different.
Time for a spot..

The CTTS merch girl at the show I went to a week or so ago had a big guillotine on her chest... I wouldn't put it there, but it looked awesome. I'm trying to figure out where to put it.

It looks really cool.
Anyway, this is sort of what I want to get done all up my arm (this was done with sharpie, which bleeds all over, so it doesn't look that great. plus it's faded.)

have this
getting these:
and possibly some lyrics somewhere
I am the horizon.
I have dreamed of tracing rings around this world.
My arms are stretched to forever.
My fingers shake with the fear of control.
The fear I know you all know so well.
