Tattoos or Piercings?
The age old question...kind of. Which do you prefer? Neither? Both? Or one or the other?

Before you judge, I have a few of both...and I'm no different today than I was before I had any holes in me or color on me that isn't supposed to be there. As anyone who has any will probably tell you; they're addictive. Once you get your first one, you'll probably want more (unless you just have your ears pierced...then you're probably fairly tame and have no desire to get anything done anywhere else). I've wanted a little stud in my nose for quite some time, and I've also within the past couple of years started wanting a little one in my eyebrow as well. I'm not much for gauging up...I'm not that hardcore.

Anyway, another Q'er you all may know as sports_schmorts, shmortypants, sporty mcschmorty, mrs randompants, or whatever else you guys may call her, is coming to see me in a week. A WEEK! Last year when we originally planned this reunion, we had planned on getting tattoos together (no not really matching...just go in together and get something). We've since started reconsidering. I think it might still be fun to do something though - what do you think? Tattoos still, or piercing instead?

I have been into body piercing before they even did it here had to make an appointment, And a guy would come from out of state to do it. Now we have them on every corner. I haven't started getting into the ink yet because I know I will be addicted.

I've thought about that a lot actually, which is why I only get stuff that means something to me. I think I'll look back in 40 years and think the same thing I do now about my pieces...they'll bring back memories of a specific time in my life that meant something to me :)

I have one on my back of two dolphins that some dear friends bought me for my 25th birthday. They were my strength when I got a divorce...two friends who were there whenever I needed anything that will always be a part of me.

I have another one higher on my back of a very important religious symbol to me...I'll never regret that.

My third one is on my foot - a dragonfly. Two reasons in particular; 1) dragonflies signify embracing change/new beginnings and I was leaving somewhere very comfortable to me...going someplace far far away from anywhere I'd ever been, much less lived. 2) It was a common bond between me and my belly sisters...they all have them.

So no..I don't think I'll ever regret any of them. As for the piercings, they can always grow back but so far I haven't wanted any of mine to. And if they don't, oh well...I don't gauge up so it's no big deal.

Just have my ears pierced for my lovely earrings, in Mexico this is done to most of girls when we are babies, because it's supposed it doesn't hurt too much, what can I say? I can't remember No tattoos.
#14 | 1055 days ago

None, but I have my ears pierced from when I was 12, but I haven't worn an earring in 12 years.

If I did get a tattoo, it would be somewhere I could easily conceal it, can't have that type of thing exposed at work.
#15 | 1055 days ago

None of the above. I don't think any different about those that choose to have them - I just don't like them.

Oh,  just for the record, no men should have nipple piercings! Looks gross!

I have quite a few of both. It's all good.
#25 | 1054 days ago

To each his own, I say. I only have one tatoo, but my wife has like 16. They are all done well and are tastefull, and I think they look really sexy on her. My favorite is my name over her left breast. I think nose rings are sexy on a girl, too.

i have my nose peirced and i think it looks awesome.  most of my co-workers have tattoos and peircing, and i think it looks really cool.  and my sister has two tattoos on her ribs, a cross for my nanna and a cross for my papa.  i think they can look cool, but some people over do it.  so if you get any, just don't go overboard and i'm sure it will look cool :)
#27 | 1053 days ago

I used to be a damn pin cushion.  There is very little I haven't had pierced at one point or another ... now it's just the ears (granted, a few in each ear    but nowhere near what I used to have).

I've thought about getting a tattoo, but don't know that I ever will.  I'm going to say the odds are stacked against it.  But I do think tattoos and piercings can be quite attractive on others, depending on the person, what they have done, where, etc.  
1. I prefer piercings...they can grow back  2. I can take either or leave either  
#28 | 1053 days ago

I have a tattoo on each arm and one on my calf, and I have both ears pierced twice

As far as my taste in women, I don't mind most piercings, prefer others, and I do think tattoos can be damn sexy on a woman, depending on what it is and where it's at

 I have one tat on my upper right arm and I have 5 piercings, all in the ears. 3 in the left, 2 in the right. Haven't worn any earrings in like 7 years.

i have two tattoos, two ear piercings on each and and tiny nose stud. i day dream about having the money to have my tattoos removed. one was a rebellion the other was a very...very drunken mistake. and i got it free of charge if you catch my drift. not exactly a badge of honor...

i don't like either on my dudes, though they aren't deal-breakers.

I have 12 tattoos, but 8 of them run up the right leg to make one really nice tattoo, and  tastefully done. When someone first meets me, especially when I wear jeans, they have no clue that I would have any tattoos. Never let it change who you are, use them to express who you are. And Yes, they all have meaning. Have ears pierced 5 in left ear and 3 in right.

#33 | 1032 days ago

I have 4 tattoos (5 if you count them individually) all placed just right. I am good with both. I have 3 piercings in each ear. (used to be 5 in each) had a navel ring but took it out about 2 years ago.  


 

 great poll.
