tattoos and/or piercings?

Post Reply New Topic

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 wouldn't trust myself to be sure enough of the decision to get something permanent.

If something extremely meaningful happened to me that I thought could be expressed by a piercing or tattoo, I might consider it.

I just hate the way they look. Though at times I get these moods where I want to get my face tattooed just to scare people off. I hate people too much for my own good. Just today I was thinking about burning lines into my cheeks to ward off humanity. I would prefer this to a tattoo cause it's free and I can back out at any time.

I don't have any piercings, or tattoos. I've decided at the age of 19, that I didn't want any of that, done to my body. I don't even have my ears pierced. I want to stay pure.

I currently have two tattoos - one of Jack Skellington on my left forearm, and one of a raven on my right forearm. I'm not sure if I'm going to get a third tattoo anytime soon, but if I do, I'd like to have the phrase "Cogito Ergo Sum" tattooed either on my arm or my back.

I also have my left ear pierced. I got it pierced when I was 13, and I mostly wore a stud in it until I was about 16. If I were to get more piercings, I'd like to get my cartilage pierced; and, if I'm feeling extra-adventurous, possibly my tongue or eyebrow. It depends on how I feel at the moment.

No tattoos, but my tongue was pierced for about 10 years or so. It wasn't noticeable and I really liked it. And I have three holes in each ear, but those aren't noticeable either. I usually only wear one or two pairs of earrings at a time.

Oh, and my bellybutton's pierced I have the prettiest, low profile sparkly aquamarine. It is one of my favorite body decorations (pardon my lack of clarity - just woke up) and times when I've gone without it, I've missed it. It also serves as motivation for staying in shape. lol I've had it since 1993 and never regretted it.

I have my ears pierced once and that's all I need. ^_^
