I have just one piercing, my left earlobe.
as for tattoos, I have 3, I got each one rather recently, and each one means something to me.
The first one I got, I got when I started my diet and exercise routines, I was at 285lbs, and 46in waist. I had decided that I wanted to make changes. Also, even though I had been out for some time, I was beginning to accept what it was to be a gay man, and so, I got this tattoo on my left arm....
Celtic knots on either side of a pink triangle, which is a gay pride symbol.
For my second tattoo, I decided to get it when I reached the mid point of my diet/exercise routine. I had lost 50lbs by that time. I got 3 Kanji on my right arm.
Reading from the top down, they say "Pride", "Strength", and "To Endure".
My last tattoo, I got after traveling to NYC, Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, MD, to meet people from DCF. Brokeback helped me get a lot of things in perspective, and I wanted to have a tribute to that movie, and all the wonderful things that have happened to be because of it, so I got the 3rd tattoo on my left arm, just above my first one.
