I have 1 tattoo. Cost me $20 and took 15 hours in one sitting to complete. It is on my right shoulder blade and takes up about 1/2 my back. I don't think I will ever get any more.

No, neither. It's a personal choice. Some people suit them. Once someone gets tired of them, piercings are presumably easier to hide or reverse. Apart from the stretchy O-shaped earlobes that these guys who have taken to wearing washers in their ears will get. What's that about anyway?

$20 bucks? Are you sure you don't mean $200? I don't know much about tattoos, but I thought that even the smallest tattoos cost at least in the $30-$50 range. And that is by no means a small tattoo.

In regards to the question, I have neither. Probably will never get a piercing or tattoo, but I'm open to it.

$20 ???

how can it be?
in my permanent studio small tattoo cost 200NIS most because of the opening of new needles.

I just have one tattoo. I plan on getting several more, but they're so expensive.

I don't really care for piercings. I don't know why. I really don't like the spacers that people put in thier ears. It looks so gross when the spacers are out. Small ones are okay, I guess. As for body piercings, I haven't seen any that I liked, and my sister used to work at a piercing place, so I've seen a lot. Most of them I wish I hadn't seen. Yikes.

I'm not into piercings or tatoos

Larkspur · 10-01-2009, 03:13 PM

I have my ears pierced and my belly button pierced. That is all the piercings I plan on getting because I like to have the option of hiding them or not...with a facial piercing you can't really do that. I did consider getting my tongue pierced, but I dropped that idea pretty quick.

As for tattoos, I am designing my first tattoo right now. It has special meaning to me, so I want to get it as a permanent reminder for myself. One of the meanings of the image I am getting is to "be happy as you are". I think that is important for me to remember. Plus, I think tattoos can be really pretty if done properly. (:

I only have ears, but I want to get a tongue ring and maybe a Monroe.
As for a tattoo, I've been playing with that idea for so long. I want one, just not sure what to get.

TRENNER · 10-01-2009, 04:03 PM

My religion forbids tattoos. I've thought of getting ear piercings, but now at age 46, it's not happening. There is no way I'd pierce anything else.

Traci · 10-01-2009, 04:28 PM

I have just a basic ear pierced and I think I'm gonna get a celtic knot tatoo on my right shoulder blade.

Genelle · 10-01-2009, 06:31 PM

I have a tattoo, no peircings

Just Lurking · 10-01-2009, 07:14 PM

No desire to get either, myself. I think they can look great on other people though.

knuckles17 · 10-01-2009, 07:19 PM

I paid $20 by winning a raffle at the shop owners book party. He used to throw a couple a year and would raffle off tattoos of different lengths of time. I figured the total value would have been around $5,300. It took two artists 15 hours to complete. I won only one sitting so whatever they did they either had to complete it in one sitting or I would have to come back later and pay to have it finished. I couldnt afford to finish it and I didnt want a half completed tattoo so I sat through non-stop.

Your Crazy · 10-01-2009, 08:32 PM

I got both my ears pierced about a month ago, and plan to get them gauged. Small ones though, not the Blu-Ray disc sized ones.

Phibes · 10-01-2009, 09:08 PM

I have two tattoos. No piercings.

I agree with that logic and would add that putting another hole in sounds uncomfortable to say the least.

I read an article written by dentists and they said that they've almost never seen anyone with a pieced tongue who hadn't chipped teeth with it. Wow, what could be more cool than chipped teeth, dude!

Toad Licker · 10-04-2009, 07:05 PM

No tattoo's or piercings here.

DitzyDreamer · 10-04-2009, 07:21 PM

I've had my ears pierced since kindergarten. I'm an earring addict. I've been thinking about getting a second set of ears pierce; I set for studs, the other for drop/dangly earrings. And if I ever tone up, I would like to get my navel pierced.

As for tattoos, no thank you. One thing I like about piercings is that you can have them removed whenever. Indecisiveness is just fine. But for tats, not so much. The only tat I would ever get is a "tramp stamp." Easy to hide and super sexy!

The human body (both male and female, but especially female) is pretty much universally recognized as beautiful as it is. Why would you want to change that?
