Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Piercing and Tattoos are a big part of body decoration but I can't find a thread dedicated to discuss P&Ts So I thought to start one. (If there is already a thread and I missed it somehow, please let me know and I'll take down mine). 

This is a place to show off your Tattoos and Piercing, share your good and bad experiences. Seek help and suggestions if you are considering to get one or two or more.

The piercings are cute, loving the red lipstick.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

I always enjoy seeing your little Bowie bolt in your swatch pics!  ❤️

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

😄 Thanks

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Oh, I love your little Bowie marking...so cute @malday 💕

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Thanks for starting this thread @fatimamummy! While I don't have many, I love tattoos and piercings. My lobes are double pierced, I have my right tragus, and my belly button, but no tattoos! I have many ideas though... maybe this thread will inspire me to get another piercing and a tattoo!

@sinfully - Beautiful!

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

These are so pretty. I wanted to get a tiny one on my ankle but I am too chicken to actually get one.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

So so pretty!!! I never know how colour will translate on my skin so I just stick to black ink. I heard it won't look the best on tan/olive skin.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

This is such a fun thread @fatimamummy!

 

I have my nostril and septum pierced, and used to rock a similar piece to the one in the picture you posted. I loved it, but it always got caught on things so I had to take it out lol. I also have my left ear pierced in three different places, but don't wear earrings anymore and surprisingly the holes haven't closed.

 

I also have a medium sized pretty intricate tattoo on my back of a turtle...which took three hours, an outline of three stars on my right side, a red heart behind my ear, and an outline of a tiny heart on my upper left rib cage. I really want a chest piece, some neck tattoos, and a sleeve, buuuuut I'm such a baby when it comes to pain and I'm having a hard time thinking of something that I'd want to get permanently drawn on my body lol. 

Cheers!
Nikko

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

All of your Tattoos sound so much fun @NikkoBT I live vigorously on others instead of getting one myself 😃

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

I like following IG/Pinterest accounts that have tattoo/piercing inspo because I don't think I'll be getting anything else anytime soon!

Cheers!

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Hi, everyone!  Great thread @fatimamummy!  Even though I'm basically a wimp, I do have both earlobes pierced twice.  About 13 years ago, I had one earlobe pierced a third time and the upper cartilage pierced too.  Coincidentally, not long after these two new piercing healed I had surgery on my head so I had to remove all my earrings.  I asked my mom to have the nurse put the earrings back in the two new holes as soon as possible.  I knew they would close quickly.  It wasn't until the next day that I was coherent enough to realize mom didn't do that.  By then, the holes were already closed!  Mom conveniently forgot because she didn't like the piercings.  Thanks, Mom!  BTW, 13 years ago I was 39, so it wasn't like I was a teenager or something!

 

A few years ago, I almost took the plunge to get both re-pierced, but just couldn't quite do it.  Don't know why.  Guess the excitement or thrill was no longer there.

 

Edit:  No tattoos.  I love tattoos, so I enjoy seeing everyone else's.  Like @MariekeBT, I wouldn't be able to commit to one tattoo in one location on my body for the rest of my life.  Not to mention what happens when it fades or your body shape changes.  😄

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Lol @Titian06 I gave my nose pin to my husband for safe keeping when they asked me to remove it in the hospital. He put it somewhere too safe that after 3 years, I still can't find it and he still can't remember where he put it 😂

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

@fatimamummy I have this problem waaayy too often. When I went to Cuba I hid away some of my car keys (my parents were also gone for vacation at the same time) and I came back and it took me a bit to find them! Luckily I don't drive to work, but I did need them to get food! 😄 

XOXO,
Marieke

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

Lol @MariekeBT Old habits die hard. He often leave his glasses or car keys at weirdest places and then get irritated when can't find them.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

I REALLY want to get my nose pierced but I'm really nervous about A) it creating a raised bump or B) it leaving a black mark in and around the hole. I'm a college student/future teacher, so I need to be able to take it out. Anyone know if these are preventable?

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

@emmarose24 My nose was pierced a few yrs ago and healed quickly without any problem. I closed when I took out nose pin for a month.

I just recently get it re pierced at the exact same spot. This time again it is going really well. I can feel it isn't completely healed yet, if I touch it but it looks all clean without any bump , mark, redness or an other unpleasant effects. 

I haven't changed the nose pin yet because I think it need some more time to heal completely.

Inshort I think it is upto your skin. How it reacts to the foreign objects planted in it. Choosing a goldnose pin instead of steel or silver can decrease your chances of getting infection. I do not clean the piercing separately because I rinse my face multiple times during the day so I guess running clean water keeps it clean.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

I just came across this thread and read your question. I had my nose pierced about 5 years ago. A few months after I had gotten it, I had an interview with Disneyland and took it out.. It closed up so fast. I was only there for 3 hours ish. Never had a scar or any trouble with infections.. About 2 years ago I got it pierced again and this time my body was rejecting it big time. I had a bump right next to it and after going to a specialist, I was told to take it out. My body was not happy about the piercing being back and rejected it, causing my skin to grow around the piercing. So, yeah. Needless to say, I took it out asap. It all just depends on how your body reacts to it. There is no guarantee you will or won't have a bump or scarring.

Re: Piercing and Tattoos , Discussion thread!

I love this thread! 

 

Funny story, I've never gotten my ears pierced because I'm slightly paranoid about what my mom said. She's not one to be very suspicious, but when I was a baby my grandma told my mom that I had long ear lobes which means I have a lot of luck/good fortune. According to some (weird if I might say) Chinese superstition, if you have long ear lobes and you pierce them you'll lose all of your luck/good fortune! I'm quite afraid that once I pierce them, life may go a little downhill from there, haha! I've debated getting an upper part of my ear lobe or something pierced instead, but we'll see!

 

I don't know if I'd ever be able to commit myself to loving one tattoo for the rest of my life. I can't even get myself to stick a sticker on my laptop without some guilt hanging over my head. Let's not even talk about how many times I used to change my phone case! I do love the idea of one and love seeing other people's. (:  

XOXO,
Marieke

I'm sure you guys have seen my nose ring a

million times by now!  I have had my ears stretched since I was  in my early 20s, I don't think I'll ever go bigger than this (00 g). I used to have a ton of cartilage piercings when I was a teenager but took them out, and just recently got my anti-helix done. It wasn't nearly as painful as everybody said it would be imo. I'm  probably going to get an industrial piercing soon!
