Like them or hate them?
Do you have any?
If yes, how many and what are they?
Do you want anymore?
If yes, what ones do you want done?

I have my nose, belly button and a few crazy ear piercing...and i just got an abstract musicnote tattoo on my right side of my stomach. Its beautiful...painful but beautiful.

The nose piercing somehow makes me recoil

Pierced eyebrows nauseate me. I'm not philosophically opposed to them or anything, but they cause an involuntary physical response. Not sure why.

5 piercings in each ear -- including one in my cartilege

1 belly button ring

1 tattoo on my right hip -- the chinese symbol for "talent" with "Carpe Diem" (latin for Seize the Day) written underneath it.

I'd never pierce my nose, tongue or eyebrow... blech. And the one, small tattoo is enough

My best friend had a butterfly tattoo on her ankle. When she died, unexpectedly, I got the same tattoo on my ankle the next day in her honor. Three years later, I decided the butterly needed a habitat and added a couple of flowers and vines around it. I like to think that symbolized my coming to terms with her being gone.

I have my ears Pierced 3 times each. I had 4 on one ear and 6 on the other but I let some of them heal up. I also have my belly button pierced. I have nothing against it, Sometimes I see things that frighten me like the people who have baseball size holes in there ears. I don't get that, kind of creepy. But to each there own.

I have one small tatoo of a clover on my left ankle, which I love... But the one tatoo is enough, and I'm not going to get more. I also have my cartilege pierced, on top of two other piercings in each ear.

The baseball sized hole (if you are referring to the lobe of the ear) is a tear. It results from pulling an earring and it rips the earlobe. This can happen insidiously from talking on the phone with an earring on. The earlobe can be repaired surgically.

There are also a deliberately enlarged holes in the earlobes that are stretched by progressively larger disks. A couple of my daughter's friends have had it done. I don't really get the appeal.

two holes in left ear, neither of which has an earring at the moment.

pierced right nostril for a week in high school (technically i woke up with an earring in my nose and still have no idea how it got there and tried to keep it, but blew the back off one two many times blowing my nose)

two tattoos: 8-ball on right forearm (has absolutely nothing to do with pool) and skull in a knit hat on cap of left shoulder (whom one of my neices affectionately calls "peanut")

I have two piercings in each ear. I want to pierce the cartilage on top of my ear, but my parents won't let me. I would pierce my bellybutton, but I have NO tolerance for pain. Besides, *everyone* does it... that sort of takes away the fun. I don't mind tattoos. I'd like to get a small one, but again, I have NO tolerance for pain. I love guys with pierced ears, but pierced eyebrows, tongues and lips on anyone are horrible. I can deal with pierced noses, but not the ones that go in one nostril and out the other, like on cattle. That's awful.

Iflit, I learn something every day (usually from you!). Yuck, deliberately enlarged holes are gross (to me).

And you are digging yourself into one of them deeper and deeper by the minute there, papa.

[papalovesmambo]

yea I was talking about what iflitifloat described. I think that is so dumb. I have see ones that are like the size of nickel they arent so bad. But there is this one kid in town that has his earlobes to the poit where he can fit his hand in through it.

tee hee, maybe they are getting ready to go tribal and find an african tribe that practices earlobe enlargement...now if we could just get these kids started on neck stretching then we'd have so many less of 'em to worry about!
