My dad didn't know til quite a while after it was done, my mom wasn't around.
It was a present I got myself for my brithday, you didn't need ID back then but you needed to look old enough and I looked old enough I guess.

Photos, I do not feel confident enough to do this at the moment.

Nah, no tattoo's yet but I do have a piercing on my left ear, it was a weird style I had back then. :lol:
But here we have my *imaginary* tattoo.

Hence my new tattoo.

People like to say Oooooh, it must hurt! It doesn't!

I thought for a minute you had a piercing, but I can't imagine what that would be like having that done.

I got a tattoo wedding ring rather than a metal ring. It did hurt a bit, but not as much as I expected from all the stories I've heard.
A solid band over the top half of my finger (the bottom half cannot be tattooed because it would fade too quickly), and below is the initial of my husband's first name.
In the unlikely event that we should divorce, the rather swirly-looking "C" can be altered to look like a stylized black hole. (my special interest for the past 6 years), or I can add other letters to my other fingers to make a word.

I don't have any other tattoos, although there is a possibility that I will have more done in the future.
I don't have any piercings at all, and I never want any. I used to have my ears pierced when I was five, but they closed up. I was coerced by my mother into having them re-pierced when I was 12. The earrings kept getting tangled in my hair. I still maintained them fine and everything though. One day, they fell out and the holes closed up.

Since then, I have refused to get any more piercings, much to my mother's dismay. She insists that EVERY girl should have earrings. It's just unnatural not to! :roll:

my ears always closed up too. i've had them re-pierced twice, but i don't bother now, because i can't wear metal anymore anyways. that's the second reason i don't have a tattoo - with a metal sensitivity i am not sure what could happen, as some inks are metal-based i think.

the tattooed wedding ring is s good idea. hard to remove in case of divorce though (i bet everybody says that).

do you have any? i wonder because so many aspies are sensitive to fussy things like body jewellery, maybe?

i'm allergic to all things metallic, so i had long ago let my ear piercings grow in. but maybe a year ago i became semi-obsessed with getting a hand piercing (web between the thumb and forefinger), so i finally did it about 4 months ago.

i have to clean it religiously and it gets lightly infected every week or so. it will probably take a few more months to fully heal. it doesn't actually bother me, and it gives me soemthing to fiddle with (hence the infections lol).

i don't have any tattoos. my interests change too fast and so it's too permanent. but i like how some tattoos look and i enjoyed watching someone get one done.

how about you?

I used to have lots of piercings including my nipples but I got bored of it all after a while and found the metal a bit itchy and so got rid of them all and now I dont even wear earings very often.

I sometimes think about getting them all done again.

Thanks CleverKitten.

I thought I just see what I would weirdly look like if I decided to go for the Mike Tyson look. :lol:

(Not too sure if I quite like the idea?)

It seems very unlikely. I'm just not creative in that way. I don't really have a sense of self-image to the point where I would ever want to decorate my body. My body is just a vessel anyways. It doesn't represent the true inner "me". When I look in the mirror what I see disgusts me and I don't truly recognize or identify with it.

i think i know what you mean. if you don't find yourself worthy, then i could see wanting to avoid ornamentation. i hope you come to appreciate yourself someday.

I don't really hate my physical appearance or feel like I'm horribly ugly. I just don't feel like the image I see in the mirror matches who I really am on the inside. That's what triggers the disgust. I just cringe when I see myself in pictures or on video. I don't see "me".

If I want to have an artistic medium to work with I'd rather it be something I have more complete control over. I can appreciate that other people might want to decorate themselves with tattoos, piercings, or other body modifications though.

I have my ears & cartilage pierced.

I'd like to get a tattoo, but I'm very indecisive about what I want and where I want it.
