I have a large tribal tattoo running from my left shoulder down to my forearm. I was planning on getting work done on the other arm or my right leg but I still haven't finished my current work. I enjoyed the sensation of the tattoo needle on some parts of my arm. The latest bit of work which was around my elbow and forearm though became unbearable and I haven't gotten the nerve to finish it. I may try in a month or two if I can find some work to pay for the time in the tattoo studio I frequent.

I have a tattoo representing two of my big special interests, done to look like a puzzle with a piece missing. That's on my left shoulder, and my wedding ring is a tattoo, as I don't like finger rings.

Piercings: Both ears at 3/4 inch holes, both nipples at 6 ga, and tongue (nothing in it now, but 2ga hole still there) . And one other major piercing that I won't mention in the forum due to mixed audience

ooooohhh, that makes me think of people who have their tongue split. I don't know anyone with that.

If I did though I'd be poking around in their pie hole like a dentist. I'm utterly mesmerized by how the two halves can become sort of independent. And I admire the nerve.

I got six tattoos. It's funny because I'm afraid of medical needles, but tattoo needles give me no problem. I also seem to have a rather high pain tolerance, so the pain of the tattoo doesn't bother me at all. Depending on the location of the tattoo, it actually tickles a little...

I have the Superman S on my left arm, the Batman Bat signal on my right arm, Creature from the black lagoon on my arm, Boo the ghost from Super mario brothers on my knee, an outline of a cougar paw print on my back and finally I got an umbrella on the same knee as Boo the ghost.

I also had my ears pierced so I would have something to play with when I was bored or stressed.

Nope. I don't like the idea of tattoos because the women in my family are known for getting terrible wrinkles so it'll ruin the design. Also, I don't like needles.

that makes sense. i don't have great skin for a variety of reasons, so i know a tattoo would look very unpretty on me! but i like hearing and reading about people's opinions all around. i wasn't sure of body modification is more or less common with aspies vs. NTs.

*shrug* I dunno. If anything, I'd get a tattoo of a quill and inkwell since I'm a writer. That's something I'm pretty certain won't change. But I'll just keep the idea in my head. My Grandmother and mom would both pass out if I came home with a tattoo.

I'm going to be getting a small tattoo somewhere on my back next march. I love piercings, but I'm allergic to most metals and plastic studs freak me out.

I have Chinese text saying "brotherhood" down the back of my right arm. My ex best friend has an identical one drawn from the same print. We got them before he went for his second tour in Iraq.

I'm considering having it removed. My friend made new friends in the army; lives with one of them in another state now that he's out; and hasn't given me his new contact info or called. I don't know if it was something I did, or if I just wasn't cool enough for his new friends to know about me. Having this on my arm is a pretty sucky reminder of someone I considered a brother that is now either ashamed of or no longer likes me.

And the moral of the story (one I heard before getting mine)... DON'T GET MATCHING TATTOOS!

interesting that plastic studs freak you out! do you worry about infection and that kind of thing, or is it just that they look weird?

hahaha! yes, my husband got matching tattoos with his 2 friends, and 20 years later they hardly speak anymore. plus, his friends got them on their wrists so that they always have to wear long-sleeved shirts in professional environments. husband got his on his shoulder, but he is totally not proud of it!

They don't look weird at all. I just can't handle the thought of a piece of plastic in me.
