Body Modification!

[Raccoon]

I know a lot of people that get tats to cover big surgical scars or even integrate them into the design. I'd shop around, talk to some tattoo artists, and let them give you some suggestions. If they have something you like, feel free to suggest changes to the designs. Most I've met are pretty easygoing but if you run into the rare one that's anal about their designs, just walk.

Only one piercing in my left ear. I had both, and one on my cartlidge on my left but they got infected from Lake Eerie (no suprise) or I just didn't care for the other. I've thought about lip and/or tongue, but I think I'm pretty set with my one. I've had this hoop and ball earring for some time, which is two gauges bigger than a standard earring. I do not like plugs or stretching at all.

 

As for tattoos, I have none. I have ideas for a few but can't seem to stick with a design. One I must design myself (A Masonic one), one that's a Pokemon one (yeah...-.-; and ), A Legend of Zelda one ( http://www.wickedwallets.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/z/e/zelda-wallet-outer.jpg -- that design and expand it somehow, then quite possibly a less serious one, like two and three-quarters heart meter).

 

I also want the Legacy tattoo -.-; if not, then the Meteor symbol somewhere.

 

Recently, my g/f said I'd look good with a script tattoo on my upper arm. While I don't have any daily mantras from my life, I'm wondering if there has been something that I've always said to myself to keep me steady, or something of the like?

 

Most importantly, There are tattoos that I'll absolutely love, but I just don't want to copy them. I'll think they're mostly perfect and have nothing to add or fix, but I just don't want to rip off a design. I feel that way about the Pidgeots but...I dunno, maybe I can take in the designs and have the artist make them a bit more differently.

Just curious to any other 'alternative' people out there. Piercings, tattoos, hell even if you have colorful hair, whatever! 

 

(I had teal hair for a while, but it's back to plat. blonde)

 

Anyways. Let's see.. I just got my second septum piercing (took out the first one to get it re-done lower), and I have stretched earlobes. (I'm attempting to get to 32mm ear size right now.)

 

No tattoos yet, probably will get some knuckle tats eventually *shrugs*. I'm planning to get my angel bites & bridge piercings done before Youmacon! 

 

If ARES GOD OF LOVE (!!!!!) is your signature, you will recognize my tattoo:

Hmm, my hair's been an array of different colors and lengths. I also have two piercings on each ear, been thinking about getting my tongue done, but little time, 'real' drive and hardly much money lol

 

I do have a tattoo I got from a few years ago though.

Love seeing this!

 

I have several piercings - my eyebrow being my longest (15 years now haha -wow I feel old), my lip, nose, tongue over the years. I have my industrial in one ear with my tragus, and my rook and conch on the other ear. My lobes are just barely gauged, 10.

 

I haven't dyed my dreadlocks recently, about 18 months ago I had the tips dyed a mix of purple, teal and blue - I loved it. Now they are just back to their strawberry brown color lol

I actually just stretched up to 10g today -__- It's gonna be like 4-5 months before I reach a 00!! And I want 1 1/2" in the long run.. :<

 

Anyhow, I LOVE DREADS. Been thinking of getting them myself. (Being half-black my hair dreads naturally). How do you like them? And do you regret them at all?

Love, love, love my dreads. My hair is pretty straight, so they took a while to look 'real' per se haha. This is my second set actually and I have never been disappointed. Taught me a lot about patience and how others may or may not judge you with a quick once over

If you abandon your anime hair I'm ICly dumping your character. :love: (Juuust kidding, maybe.)

 

ALSO. S'demyx got his angel bites.

Oh yes! I've always wanted to get a sleeve, but with my future career choice I'll have to keep it under a shirt. It's the same with piercings, but man, I want to see some cool picture of everyone's tattoos.

*so jealous* I had dreads when I was 12, right before I moved to the US. Needless to say, Chinese people do not give a fuck about personal space and they kept putting their hands on my hair. So I got rid of 'em.

YOU WILL DO NO SUCH THING.

I only have pictures of my new piercings, BUT TAKE IT ANYWAY *throws it up*

I have one tattoo - below my neck, on my spine in the centre of my back. It's a valknut. I have more planned but I want to design them myself, such as Thor's Hammer and a two-part one with my sister and a portrait of my cat. I also have two sets of ear piercings, a labret peircing and a nose stud.

 

Clothes wise, I am not very alternative anymore. I used to be a goth/metalhead/rockabilly but now I just wear what I like and don't really gravitate towards a specific subculture since I found out most of the people I met through that were arseholes. Not to say everyone is, but unfortunately that was my experience. Most of my clothes still fall into one of those catagories though.

I wish I had some cool ink I could talk about. But, alas, not yet. I don't have any piercings either, simply because they've never really appealed to me (that isn't to say I don't like piercings, it's just not something I want for myself).

 

I will say that overall, I love body modification, because I find it's such a cool, unique way to express yourself, more than just wearing an article of clothing.

 

I do have a couple tattoo ideas for myself:

I do plan to get a full back piece of St Michael, the archangel, casting Satan out of heaven. I also plan to get two sleeves, one based on Egyptian mythology (depicting Anubis and the weighing of the hearts) and the other based on Norse mythology (depicting Vidar battling the wolf, Fenris at the time of Ragnarok). Though, because I plan to be a school teacher, those will have to be half sleeves, so I can cover them up easily enough with a rolled up, long sleeve shirt. Perhaps once I have a stable job, I can add more to them to make them full sleeves.

 

I just had to chime in...

[Fates Skein]

My two pieces.  Both were photographed right after I got them so they're a bit angry looking.  Both done by the same artist.  I designed the dragon with the artist and the hawk was a design that I found on a flash site and modified to make it resonate with me.
