I don't see the point in them. Earrings, sure, I can see that (not on myself, note). I just never really got the point.....

The point? Personal preference really. I like them, I think that tattoos are a great way of expressing yourself, and piercings, often times are very sexy. I've gotten my lip pierced, my dad co-owns a very classy tattoo and piercing shop. It's huge, bigger then any hair salon I've ever seen. Very elegant. It's really weird, because when you go to get a piercing or tattoo, you expect it to be done by a huge hairy biker or something, and it's not like that at all. Anyways, yeah those are my thoughts .

I wonder what you were watching after that. lol Anyways, I don't know how I feel about body art. Henna seems cool. I'm not a big fan of tatoos unless it looks good on you. Me? I'm not sure if I'd get one. Piercings, all I have are earings. Would I get more earings? I don't know. I'm more of the type to stay with the "natural as possible" look. But I don't have a problem with others doing as they wish. I've even seen people with the horns screwed into their head and all. Very interesting indeed. How about you guys, what do you have regarding body art?

How about you guys, what do you have regarding body art? Currently, I have 4 piercings in my left ear, 3 in my right ear, 1 in my nose, and 1 just below my bottom lip. -- I used to have my tongue pierced, but I got annoyed with it and took it out. -- As for tattoos, I have 1 of a serpent on my left ankle, but it's small. I prefer Henna 'cause the whole needle thing is a creepy experience for me.

Well, mumsy made me take out the lip Otherwise nothing actually. I guess it's kinda weird that my first piercing was as drastic as my lip.

I think it is okay as long as you don't go over board like some do. I have a tattoo of a black rose on my right ankle, and did have a belly ring till it got infected, and had to take it out.. I don't go for the tongue, chin or lip rings though.

and did have a belly ring till it got infected, and had to take it out. That happened with my cousin's eyebrow piercing...it was really gross.

I know one thing it really made my mom angry..Wow she was fuming when she saw it, and when the dr told me I had to take it out she was praising God.. I wasn't happy, because at age 19 I thought it looked awesome. I told her it was only the skin at the top of my belly button that was periced..LOL she didn't care she said it made me look cheap. I only walked away and laughed..I wouldn't be upset if my dd had it or a little nose ring, or her ankle, tatooed, but don't know what her dad would say..

My Grandparents encourage me and my cousins. My Grandma says I should get yellow contacts...and my Grandpa says that if I dye my hair half bright orange and half neon green, he'll pay for it. ;D

oooh Tiger, you should get cats eye contacts. They look so cool! I've seen it on this girl a few years ago and it didn't look that bad. And you should dye your hair stripes black and orange... I also saw someone with this crazy eye contacts design. It was like a gate, but apparently it loked good on her. The general color was hazel and she had her hair crimped and she was brunette so I thought it looked nice. :shrug: highly eccentic in looks. I like that, but only if it looks good you know?
