- What does your tattoo symbolize? (Ex. dragon, barb wire, heart etc.) Why? What motivated you to get that symbol? i have an ankh and an eye of horus on my leg.i got it because to me it represents my family.the woman who adopted me lived in egypt before she started taking care of me.its like a tribute to her
- 1. My first tattoo I got on a whim same with the piercing but I have never had PS. 2. I have too many. Here is info on my last one. I have a name written in Arabic outlined in stars on my wrist, I got because I wanted to. My prerogative. 3. Wrist, things, chest. Each one had a different reason. First one was a whim like I said before and each one after that was done because I wanted a new one. I cant describe the reason. 4. Chest and Private parts. Freaky I guess 5. I had the simple barbells nothing fancy. 6. NA 7. Of course. We are talking about someone piercing a needle into my skin. Money is not indicative of cleanliness. HB is not worth it. 8. NA 9. NA 10 No I lead 11. Tattoo = all were 0 The piercing were 100 for the chest and 100 for the private area. 12. Why of course. See number 7 13. I walked in sometime with a design or not and went to see my main man. We talked, he tried to re- sketch my design and I signed my body away. The piercing...I asked him to refer me to a co-worker and he did.
- I was motivated to get my piercings, (i have 10) because I loved the way metal looks against my skin. I felt that they enhanced my beauty. I absolutely adore my piercings. I have snakebites. 3 lobe piercings in each ear, my cartilage (also called helix) and my tragus. I am not done getting piercings, but I chose these because every time I saw them on someone, they were impossible for me to tear my eyes away from. I had to have them, and I wanted all of them, so that hopefully when someone looks at me, they see the beauty I'm trying to pertain. I went to this one tattoo parlor for my cartillage because my girlfriend knew the guy who owned the shop. For my tragus, I went to guy who was going out of buisness, and was selling everything cheap. The place wasn't real clean, but my tragus has actually healed incredibly fast, faster then any other piercing i've ever gotten. Ironic. I was under 18, and got parental consent for both my cartillage and my tragus. I had a friend do my snake bites with a professional piercing needle. I didn't get parental consent for that one. :) I'd say all of my piercings were in the 1 to ten range. Lobes=2 tragus=4 cartillage= 7 snake bites=6 The steps for my thre lobe piercings were all by a gun. quick, easy. For my snake bites, tragus, and cartillage, it was all the same routine. Clamp the skin, push the needle through, get the hoop feed it back out with the needle, screw on the ball. Done. Pay. Ready to go. If you have any more questions, I'll be happy to answer. You can I.M. or email me. :)
- 1. I liked the idea to do stuff to my body like that, not necessary to impress men but more for myself, because I am an artistic person. 2. My tattoos symbolize things I believe in, living for the moment, loving, strength, pride, beauty, etc. 3. Both are on my back so I can hide it if I have to look professional or conservative for something. 4. Belly button, thought it was neat 5. Belly button, I thought that one was cute 6. None but I want boobs, because bigger boobs fit into sexy dresses, fill out bathing suits, etc. self confidence. 7. I created my own designs. Unless my artist kept the patterns, I am the only one with those tattoos. 8. I did my research in finding a potential surgeon. 9. I got parental consent for my bellybutton piercing when I was 15, they wouldn't let me get a tattoo so I waited until I was 25 years old. 10. Yes I met a random guy in the bar for 2 minutes one night from another country who I will never see again. Never went home with him, never touched him, just a 2 minute chat. That was enough to inspire me. 11. Tattoo - upper back - 1 (not at all) Lower back - 3 (a little painful) Boobs - heard it's a 7 - 10. 12. Safe and reliable and licensed. 13. Consult, then the procedure.

- I can't get my tattoo for 46 more days :( but I have my bellybutton pierced. 4&5.belly button. I like those piercings? 7. I went to the most popular one in the town I live in. I'm also going there for my tattoo next month. 9.Yep. My mom went with me. But my dad still doesn't know. haha 10. well i haven't gotten a tattoo yet, but i'm getting one in memory of a very close friend who recently passed away. 11, honestly i could probably say zero, no more than two or three for sure. It really didn't hurt at all. 12. Not really, but everyone goes there. 13. For a bellybutton piercing they just put a clamp on your stomach, stick the needle through, and insert the ring. :)
- I got my first tattoo at 18 because I wanted a tattoo of two small tigers on my back, My next tattoo was one of a shroom that represented my brother and then one of a fairy that represented my friend that had past away, that is on my hips. I also got a four leaf clover on my wrist to tell my boyfriend that he was what made my life so lucky. I got a piercing in my belly button cuz I thought it was cute. I got breast implants because I wanted to feel more comfortable in my clothing. No I didn't go to a specific one, I went where the prices were affordable and the work was done well. I did go to a specific surgeon. Researched it quite a bit. I didn't do anything under the age of 18. No one influenced my tattoo. Pain from tattoo about 10 Pain from surgery about 80 yes I made sure they were both safe and reliable. Tattoo, pick out what you want, find where you want it on you and where you want to get it done. Same for piercings and surgery, it's all about what you want.
- 1: Cause it felt right to get piercings without my parents acknowledged it proves that i'm not always obedience & their okay...But my dad totally hates my nose stud. -_- Old fashion Dad. 2: I'm getting an 'Alice in Wonderland' quote, "Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop." (it has an awesome meaning to me & I am hoping to get it inked just near the ribs, a bit higher though..) 3: As above.^^ 4: ears & nose. Reasons as same as question 1 answer. 5: I have 7 studs on me, 3 on each lobe, one nose stud. I was originally going to get my lip pierced but UNFORTUNATELY! It become an effin trend when I turn legal! (I was originally inspired to have one cause my fave singer, Davey Havok (afi lead singer) had one.) I pretty much answered the reasons behind the piercing in question...1. 6: I had a plastic surgeon to stitch a wound on my cheekbone after being whacked full force with a golf club at age 7. He did a dodgy job of it as it is visibly & my mother was not pleased cause well of bullying reasons I think. 7: I am thinking of wheather I should get ink down the coast where my brother have went to or to one with my cousins. It's difficult but I must always check with the parlor if they follow all rules & keep it hygienic. 8: I have no idea if this surgeon was based at the Emergency hospital or a private one. 9: Yes, clearly. I seriously doubt a 7 year old could get away with a plastic surgeon to fix her wound up. & no for the piercings apart from nose stud (was 18 when i got it done & around 16-17 years old for the lobes.) 10: Apart from my passion for books, no. 11: lol! Piercing is such a breeze, just make sure the piercer is qualified & uses a needle. Tattoo, I have no yet experience & I was too young to really remember much of the golf club incident. 12: I know what I should expect in a tattoo parlor so I hope that the one I go to will be reliable & deffinately good. I doubt my Mum had any clue of the plastic surgeon guy though? 13: (don't really have steps towards these kind of things..Best advice is to remain calm.) 14: I naturally already have a problem with job hiring since I can't hear well. (deaf/hearing impaired.) 15: got none.
- I have breast implants, lip injections and a navel piercing. 4) I think navel rings are sexy. I have a nice stomach so it was a natural choice to augment my enlarged breasts. 5) Other than my ears, I have no other piercing desires. The navel ring is so sexy. 6) I have had breast implants. I got them because I wanted a large C or small D cup. My results are impressive. I have had lip injections. Again the boys say the results are impressive. 7-8) Yes. I did my research and found talented people. 11) Not scared. Wanted it to be over with. 14) No its not hard to find a job and I get the attention I want. 15) I am a teacher.
