OK, just kidding

No tattoos or piercings here. I do though have a dime sized hole the doctor ground all the way through my skull behind my left ear so he could poke around in my "brain housing group". It's OK though, the doctor filled the hole back in with the bone dust from grinding the hole, medical grade "bondo", wire mesh, and 4 small self driving titanium screws. I hardly notice it.

For do it yourselfers here are the instructions:

I have a compass rose tattoo on my arm. It stands for my love of travel, exploration, etc.

Hmmm. I am using my iPhone and it shows the option to send a photo. It didn't work
Imagine a nice compass rose in black but filled in with red and blue.

Latest one.

Also Tux and binary on my arm and a flatline on my chest. The flatline is 20 years old, went from RED to pink and is missing parts of it now.

Dh, I don't think that made in U.S.A. ink will stay for long, and will hurt like Hell.

I was talking to a guy in Canada about the made in USA, said the only problem would be healing it, and finding somebody with experiance on the bottom of the foot. We shut down for a week at work, so I was gonna get it done and stay off my feet for 9 days. Just looking for the artist now, Going to Canada for a tat is not realistic. The hurt like hell is really the point. Same with the nape, have to find the proper jewelry, typical bent barbells tend to reject. If anybody can help in my searches, please PM me.

The problem with tattoos today is that people (especially the younger ones) don't think about the long term effects. First before i begin - I do have tattoos - got them over twenty years ago. You have to realize that these things are permanent and you often don't know what your life or lifestyle will be down the road. Mine are hidden and not usually shown unless my shirt is off (and you don't want to see that - believe me) I cringe when I see all those nice cute little girls with small of the back tattoo peaking out from behind the shorty shorts - yep, that's SEXY - until you reach an age where the sexy is now sagging! Some just don't think that far ahead!

I agree. they don't think before they get them.. I have one tattoo. And it is the only one I will have until we lay my Dad to rest. My grandfather was in WWII. and way back when he got a tattoo of a dagger on his left arm. He passed away many years ago when I was only 16. Years later the family was looking at some old photos and I seen one of him at the Christmas dinner table and you could see his tattoo. It brought back a lot of memory's... In memory of my grandfather I have his tattoo on my right arm. But I made sure then I got it that I could hide it with a short sleeve shirt when I need to. The next one that i get will be a copy of my Dad's police badge ( when he is gone ) When he retired after 30 years on the streets. He had to hand in his badge and was given a " retired officer badge" with the same number on it. My Dad has it with him at all times... but said I will get it when he is gone. I want to have a tattoo of it on my left chest... In memory of him. But I sure the heck hope that is a long long time coming..

Well not that its the best photo, but here is my tattoo
My friend that bought my vardo got this for me as a graduation present from college about 18 years ago. I got her nipples pierced lol. Technically religously Im pagan (not the motor cycle gang lol) Might explain why Im so into nature and live on a boat...I like living a simple life closer to nature.

My tongue was pierced about 14 years ago. Few years before that when my friend Katrina's kid was about 17, he wanted to get his tongue pierced and his mom said she wouldnt go with him to get it done. I agreed to take him and she said it was fine. Well 2 years or so later he gave me the original piercing for christmas cause he knew I wanted to get it done...so had it sterilized and got it done when I got downsized from the job I was at a few months later. The shaft is short so it doesnt move around in my mouth like most peoples do, so havent chipped any teeth or anything with it and doesnt interfere with my speach since most of my jobs involved me talking. Scarey how the years go past...

btw I found out saturday night that you can burn your lip... I had a frozen pizza with canadian bacon on it...tossed it in the oven till it was done, took it out waited a few minutes and when the crust seemed cool enough I took a bite, well I guess i didnt bite all the way through the canadian bacon, and under it was some bubbling hot tomato sauce and bam got a nice blister on my lower lip... Life truelly is a learning experience lol.

Ive wanted another tattoo for years, but its always the cost factor vs other things I want. Maybe I can put aside some money and get it for my birthday!

When I was a kid, my uncle had a black panther tattoo on his bicep, claws digging into his muscle. He could make it move by flexing. It was a powerful tattoo. When he got old, it looked like a sick cat holding on for dear life!

[steve smoot]

Cliff, My mom's oldest brother had that very same tattoo. Think he got while he was in service.
