      This is the tattoo I got in memory of my mother. I lost her at 51 to breast cancer in 07 :o( I do want more ink, but for me it takes FOREVER to create one I'm happy with. I want one for my kids next. :o)

      I don't have any piercings other than the standard double ear piercings.

      I have a bunch of tattoos, but here are my favorites!

      (Note: It's really hard to take a picture of your own ribs!)

      "I've seen more spine"

      Who gets this reference?! (I promise it looks better in person, plus I've had it touched up since this was taken.)

      And my newest tattoo. Inspiration came from Beauty and the Beast.

      I will be looking forward to seeing it. Sorry to hear about your Mom.. I'm sure it's going to be an awesome tattoo..

      As promised, here it is! I'm so glad I had it done :).

      'Pommetje' was my mom's petname for me. It's derived from the French word 'pomme' which means apple. Mom loved my applecheecks. Her petname is perhaps one of the greatest gifts she gave me. She didn't call anyone else by that name and that made me feel special. It's in her handwriting.

      In college I had the following facial piercings:

      Industrial in Left ear
      Both ears, two lobe piercings, one stretched to 4ga, the other to 0ga
      Eyebrow piercing
      Lip Piercing (center, not offset)
      Tounge piercing

      Sadly, none of those are worn today. I work in corporate America, where it's frowned upon. I'm pushing it by wearing shorts in our casual dress atmosphere with visible tattoos.

      Other body piercings
      Both nipples (no longer have these either)
      PA

      I have 3 tattoos, and want more, just don't have time to get all the work done.

      I only have my ears pierced. I think all of this stuff looks amazing on other people but it wouldn't suit me :(

      i had my tongue pierced for two years (why do the rings never stay in?!) before taking it out in frustration. currently have triple pierced lobes, rook, daith and tragus. ink on my back, want to add to my shoulder!

      i kind of want a nipple piercing, but i hear it fracks up the milk ducts for women who have kids later?? maybe just an urban myth.

      I've got my nose pierced, a monroe, and my ears gauged to 2... I had two cartilage piercings as well as my nipples but have since removed them for personal reasons.

      I've had a lot of ink done, some good, some bad... I'll post them here for all to see....

      my back:

      I eventually want to do a 3/4 sleeve on my right arm, who knows when I'll have the time/money for that....

      I have snakebite piercings and a cruddy tattoo in between my shoulderblades of my zodiac sign. Will get that covered up with something better eventually. I had my labret, but I took it out last year because not only is it slightly off-center, but it got annoying, the stud on the jewelry kept falling out and the jewelry left a lovely indent in my lower gum.

      I'm coming to boring up your post YAY I don't have any piercings but my ears and I don't wear earings in them because I feel like my ears stick out weird and I don't like to draw attention to them. I have a peace sign/heart mixed on my right wrist with some other hearts around it for a tattoo as of right now.

      HOWEVER! I am saving up the money to get the masks of comedy and tradegdy, one each on top of each foot, which will 'connect' with a ribbon through the middle so that when I stand with my feet together they will touch. It's just going to remind me how much Drama club in high school really saved me from falling down a dark path and I eventually want to get Yoda's lightsaber tattoo'd along the side of my left forearm..

      I only have those two planned out I'll probably stop after that :)

      Have: 3 tats shoulder, back and left arm. The one on my arm is my fave. It is an ambigram of my daughters' names, Kali and Emma (in my profile pics) and 4 piercings in one ear and 3 in the other

      Had: both nipples (did not "mess up" my milk ducts but sometimes my daughter would get more flow and get choked up). and had my belly button done until I was fat enough that nobody got to see my belly anymore! haha!

      i had a friend in high school who had wicked gauges and i used to stick **** in the during class. i would never do it, on some people it looks decent but the REALLY big ones...i just don't understand..

      Used to stick pens and pencils and other random round objects through my stretched lobes. It was entertaining.

      I am all about tattoos! I can sit through a 3-hour tattooing session, no problem, but a piercing needle coming at me is a no-can-do. I have my nose pierced and the whole process made for 10 of the most traumatic minutes of my life. I currently have 4 tattoos (wrist, forearm, ribs, hip) and have at least 2 more planned :)

      Once upon a time, I had 11 piercings. I now only wear my 0 gauge plugs. I also have three tattoos.

      This one is my newest tattoo. It is located on my right forearm. I got it on June 1 to serve as a medical ID. The doctors recommend medical ID bracelets, I felt I needed something a bit more permanent.

      I got this one last October. It's on the bottom of my left wrist. For those of you who don't know, that's the Umbrella Corporation logo from the Resident Evil.

      And this is my first tattoo. It's on my back. It's four years old now. Thirteen was my softball number.

      I think it is a myth.
      I know they take forever to heal.

      I have the normal double piercings on my ears, plus a daith, tragus, helix and a set of auricles. I want a forward helix to even my ears out (5 in one and 4 in the other). My eyebrow was done when I was 20, but got ripped out at 21 and I have a nice scar. My tongue is still pierced.

      I have 6 tattoos. Going to be getting #7 this summer.

      5 piercings on my ears, eyebrow, two microdermals in my back, both nipples, nose and a tattoo that covers from my neck to my braline on my back (that's all for now)
