Body Art (Tattoos & Piercings.. Got them? Not got them? Love them? Hate them?)

I don't have a photo yet - but recently I got my first tattoo. I thought about it for a long time then decided to "just do it." I have an ankle bracelet of heavenly blue morning glories. I really love it and it's gorgeous. It hurt rather a lot and I wondered about people getting many tattoos or very large ones but even as soon as this tattoo was done, I wanted another. At some point I'd like to get a morning glory vine on my forearm.
Aside from my ear lobe piercings (2 in one ear, 3 in the other) I have my eyebrow pierced with a ring. Lately I've thought about getting a second piercing next to the first but haven't decided yet.
I'll post a photo of my tattoo as soon as I have one. :)

Well tattoo's seem to be a family tradition for the men in my family and it seems to be secondary to military service. My paternal Grandfather had 2 on his right arm, my Dad has 1 one each breast and 1 on each upper arm and my Brother has one on his forearm. I've passed on the ink but I do have pierced ears, 2 on the right, 1 on the left. I do think that a lot of thought needs to go into the choice of a tattoo because it will be with you forever and it changes as your body changes. The blue birds on my fathers pecs with his and my mothers names under them have definitely blurred with age. I remember how vivid they were when I was a child.
I find the Japanese style of tattoing beautiful but the gang stuff and anything on the face is a big turn off for me. I agree that ear loops look great on the Buddah but are gross on most people and split tongues are revolting. I also am disgusted by people who file their canines down to look like fangs and safty pins through the cheek. ::shudder::

Know what though, IF I ever got a tattoo, I get it right here and I'd have a 2 small playing cards, a 2 of hearts and a 2 of spades for Jack and Ennis, a pair of deuces looking for work who found so much more. ;)

Since when did patience become not a good trait to have...I think it is a necessity to have. I salute you Kelda for having the
courage to do as you wanted, in spite of the way you think others might think about the term.....
