Do you have any peircings or tattoos? I was just thinking this might be a good thread. I have my left ear peirced.

My left ear is peirced. Did it in 1974, and still wear a ring once in a while.:fire

If this wasn't such a hellhole area i'd have my eyebrow pierced too.

None to speak of.

Nor do I plan on it.

In 1979 I got my ear pierced. Mind you back then it was not as common as it is now. I was in a band and we all went and did together as kind of a bonding thing. I don't wear it anymore because now it doesn't mean anything as everybody and their grandfather has one. Never had a tatoo though I have been tempted a time or two.

Nothing. No piercings or tats.

Tattoos don't interest me very much. Piercings are a different matter. Before I go back to college, I'd like to get a piercing on the top of the ear.

Piercings really aren't supposed to have a meaning, unless you have a Prince Albert.

Ears are pierced, once in each ear... that was done when I was 5.

Belly button is pierced... that was done for one reason: I wanted to see if I had the guts to actually go through with it.

Got a tattoo... the 24th of May last year... geez... not real sure why I did that... my reasoning was because I didn't go to prom, I had to do something memorable in place of it. So I got a tattoo... but that was the day before prom, the day I found out I had mono... what a great day. it's the celtic symbol for trinity.

/me shuts up now....

ohh and for you who dont know--- 420 is a number tht has somthing to do with smoking Marijuana

One piercing in my left eyebrow that I have had for 8.5 years. I have a nice, curved barbell in it that is probably 14 gauge.

I had my septum pierced, when I was about 20, for a few days before i realized that massive allergies and an object imbedded in my nose did not mix.

That is it... I am anti-tatoo for the most part as:
1) They fade
2) they are permanent
3) They go out of style
4) They affect your future vocational opportunities (i.e. on your arms, neck, face, etc... they limit your job options to dishwasher lol--sorry, I have known too many dishwashers with tats that they could not cover up)

BTW Undying Wizard NHD, thanks for the heads up on "420;" I always thought that it was gang code (or perhaps the police code for drugs).

--Edit: added reason #4 why not to get a tat. unless it is this one --
