Curious. Anyone into body-modification here?

I've been getting increasingly interested in bodymod, and was wondering if anybody here wanted to share their experiences (and/or problems) with tattoos, piercings, etc!

I have two cartilage piercings, one conch, and a navel piercing.

    Because she wants to know. She has the right to ask, that's why.

    Two cartilage piercings, one navel, four tattoos. More tattoos planned, and another piercing is under consideration.

    I guess I don't really think of those as body mod though. They seem so mainstream now. I think of it more as skull horn implants and gauges.

    just the one tattoo, for now. I'm getting the itch for another one

    on a related note: women w/ body mods are hot

    had my share of piercings way back when (nipples, webs, septum, tongue), but got rid of them all for various reasons. never got into anything hardcore like subdermals or splittings or scarification, but i've always wanted to suspend. ive heard thats an amazing experience.
    still have my ears stretched a bit (5/8" at the moment).

    sorry but why?

    past: bellybutton, eyebrow, labre, cart. (all closed)
    current: tongue and 5 ears + wrist tatt
    future: nosering. a ring, dammit. not a girly microscopic sparkle gem. METAL.

    Is there something wrong with it? I don't have any tats myself, but I LOVE seeing them. I really enjoy the stories that are usually associated with them too.

    I used to have my tongue pierced but I had to take it out :(

    Piercing my cartilage turned into major hypertropic scarring that was edging into cauliflower ear... so... just lobes now. I wish I could do more intensive piercings, but... alas.

    why do you want to split your tongue?

    not judging, just curious

    I have tattoos and a triangle piercing. I have a friend that I went with for her scarification and branding. She hope to do a hook suspension in April and I will be there. Can't wait to see

    I have:

    1 Tattoo (I want more!)
    4 "normal" ear piercings
    and I have my ears gauged, they were 7/16" but I had to take them out for an internship so currently I'm at a 2g
    I've also had my 3rd ear piercing gauged (hurt more than lobe in my opinion) but its regular size now and I've had my nose done

    I kinda want my septum done but I'm a chicken.. I've also wanted either snake bites or spider bites for a long time.

    All of my friends who have got their septum done said that it was virtually painless. You should go for it!
  • Anyone with nipple and navel/conch piercings? Curious about how the pain scale compares between the three.

    Navel piercing and double earring holes. I'd love to have more piercings but they don't really heal well for me and close up fast.

    I would love Tattoos but can't afford them right now. I am saving to get my first for my 40th birthday.
    I am always coloring my hair fun colours too :)

    I have snakebites, had the labret(took it out because it was annoying me and the stud I had in it dented my gum), and have one badly done tattoo. I want more tattoos when I have the money......

    Belly button was the worst one I ever had. Even worse than my lower lady bits.

    Isn't that interesting. I literally never felt my navel piercing. My boyfriend at the time was turning 6 shades of pale watching it happen but i watched it and felt nothing.

    Interesting!! Maybe cause it was my first? But all I remember is it being the absolute worst pain ever. I was so grateful that it was over so quickly lol! I am genuinely shocked I got more after how horrible the belly button was. Maybe I just have a sensitive belly button area.

    Love tattoos

    Piercings don't do much for me...


    I don't like nipple piercings on women, at all..


    But to each their own.
