Hey guys! Wondered if we could have a thread on body mods? I've got 3 tattoos so far and I'm booked in to get my fourth on Thursday (can't wait!!! ) I also have stretched lobes, and in the past I've had my lip pierced (both sides), as well as an eyebrow and a septum piercing. Just wondered if there's any other members here with, or into tatts + piercings?

Do you have pictures?
I'm not really a fan of tattoos, my housemate has two that I love though - a cherry blossom tree going up her side/ribs and a Harry Potter lightening bolt on her foot (done when she was drunk).

Only pic I have is this little low-res collage I did for one of my earliest blog posts haha The 'Pain is Inevitable, Suffering is Optional' is my most recent, that's on my bicep (I eventually want to get like a parchment/scroll border surrounding it) Heart is on my ankle and was my first Funny li'l story - The star on my wrist was originally the 1UP star from Super Mario I kinda regretted getting that done though haha. Wasn't happy with it (aside from the outline, it really wasn't done that well) so I got it covered up. On Thursday I'm having this done on my right calf. It's from the concept art for Alice in Wonderland. I played the white rabbit in the school production of it when I was about 10 and it's one of my fondest memories. I've wanted this tattoo for ages

Mario star, haha! That's cool but I can see why you got it covered up. It looks much better now but the inner geek in my loves the before picture!!
The white rabbit is beautiful! You'll have to let us know how it turns out.

don't have any tattoo's.. i'm more into piercings. i have both my earlobes (pretty standard), my navel, a venom (double tongue piercing) and my latest one is my lip (which i got before then removed and now, re-pierced!) i'm considering getting my nose re-done again but i'm not the best at aftercare. lol. so maybe just leave it at that. considering nape, too though? i hear it rejects easily..

Ooh double tongue piercing, sounds cool - I'd love to see a pic of that! Yeah I've had friends with nape piercings and they reject quite easily from what I hear, same with any surface piercing really I got my new tattoo done today and I love it Photo just after getting it done (quite sore) And here's one I took just on my webcam (it's in black and white because it's very red at the moment from where I bled and looked a bit nasty lol) Cost me £120. Very happy with it, worth every penny I reckon!

It came out great! I would have been so worried that it wouldn't have looked like the picture with out detailed it was!
How long did it take to do?

I was! haha But I went to a really good tattooist who's work I'd seen a lot of beforehand, so I had faith in his abilities 2 and a quarter hours - which is my longest tattoo yet (also most painful >.<)

2 and a quarter only! I thought it would have taken much longer!

I've (had) 10 piercings but I tend to only use 4 of them now! but I did have:
3 in my left ear, 4 in my right ear 2 in my tongue belly button
(I only use the ones in my ears now!)
I decided I would only get a tattoo if it was something that had a meaning behind it. I'd like to get one whilst I'm living in Iceland to symbolise it though I'm not sure what to get tattoo'd yet but I'd like to have it on my foot.
My husband went crazy with piercings - he had snake bites, two stretched lobes, a big bar in his left ear going through 2 piercings, his tongue and his septum. He has had to take all these out when he finished Uni to get a job so he has a couple of saggy(ish) ears now!! haha.

I'm getting my first tattoo soon! I'm so nervous but I've wanted one for a long time and it's for my grandmother so I'm super excited it's just going to be two Scrabble tiles on my left wrist with the letters S and P - her nickname was Super Peg. And she always whooped my ass at Scrabble I don't have many piercings, just my ears and nose! Love the nose though this is before it healed - I don't have many recent ones because I've been wearing a teeny stud that doesn't show up well in pictures.
