None. Not a fan of bodymodding, I don't get why people do. I'd love to get an animated l'cie brand when organic circuitry allows though.

I originally wanted to get a septum piercing too. I did have both nipples pierced before, but I took them out because they weren't healing right. I also had a total of 5 earrings in my left ear (full circle). I also did my own Prince Albert, and designed my own tribal tattoo that's barbed wire that transforms into rose branches, then back into barbed wire. That's on my left bicep.
As of right now, I only have a P.A., and... I should get my hole stretcher and see if I even have 3 of the 5 holes in my left ear... I'll do that today.
If I had the money, I'd also do metal implanting, and I was extremely interested in getting horns bolted on to my head once I saw it on TV one day. I also want more tattoos, and want to get my nipples pierced again, and also want to get a Jacob's Ladder (I'd describe it just in case my terminology is wrong but I don't wanna get banned).

Scarification is when you cut out patterns deeply to make them scars. Google for images.JokerCrowe said:I've been cosidering a tatoo, but I'm too big of a coward. I haven't even considered getting a piercing and I don't know what it is, but like the sound of scarifications and stretches.. :s
Of course ebing natural might be considered strange in a short amount of time, so maybe I'll just stay this way..
Also, I usually don't like nose piercings, but yours made you look kinda cute.
And I'm not sure it is the correct term but stretches you can do in almost any piercing but it's most common in your ears - basically you just stretch out/make the hole from a piercing bigger.Thank you! I didn't like the idea of this piercing at first, but it kinda grew on me, still is.
I might get a tattoo, but I have no idea what to put there. If I did ever get one, it had damn well better mean something and not just be a girlfriends name or something.

Anyone here good at drawing that can make a hi-res one?
Maaaaaaaaaaaan. I thought this would be about becoming a CYBORG.
I've got none of your modern modifications.

Yeah I keep hoping to find a decent artist to draw my design for me.Gulleko said:When I find someone who can make a good picture of a Hell Bovine for me, I'll tattoo one on my shoulder.

That sounds good to me, why don't you message me with a more detailed description of what you want exactly? c:Gulleko said:Since I'm unemployed and poor at the moment, maybe 200 SEK / 20? at the most...MassiveGeek said:How much are you willing to pay?Gulleko said:When I find someone who can make a good picture of a Hell Bovine for me, I'll tattoo one on my shoulder.

ouch, SEK means swedish, even if you manage to find someone to make a good pic for you, you are gonna have really trouble finding a tattoist in sweden that is capable enough to make anything more advance look good, if possible, go to denmark instead.Gulleko said:Since I'm unemployed and poor at the moment, maybe 200 SEK / 20? at the most...MassiveGeek said:How much are you willing to pay?Gulleko said:When I find someone who can make a good picture of a Hell Bovine for me, I'll tattoo one on my shoulder.

chances are you might even get it both better AND cheaper there... - . -
There are a few things you should worry about with tattoos, but they're pretty obvious:JokerCrowe said:I've been cosidering a tatoo, but I'm too big of a coward. I haven't even considered getting a piercing and I don't know what it is, but like the sound of scarifications and stretches.. :s

1. Make sure it's a tattoo that is meaningful for YOU, make sure you want it there forever. Don't do something dumb like 'oh I like this thing at this time but my interest in it will fade in a couple hours' and get one of those tattoos. Have it mean something to you, something you never wanna forget. Because you won't.
2. Check out the tattooist's work. I can't stress this enough. If you need further encouragement to listen, then just google bad tattoos. Someone who is a terrible artist is not someone who should be tattooing.
3. Make sure your tattooist of choice runs a clean shop. Watch if its possible when s/he tattoos someone else. Make sure they use clean needles and throw them away each time. You don't wanna catch blood-borne diseases because the tattoo parlor is dirty.
4. Your tattooist should point this out themselves, but they should make sure you are NOT drunk, and have eaten and slept that day. The ink could make you sick if your health is jepoardized.
5. Ramifications. Make sure that the location you've chosen on your body for your tattoo doesn't impede your ability to get or keep a job. The United States Government says that soldier's bodies are government property and you will be charged for desecration of government property if you get a tattoo while in service.
6. Your nerves. Not your emotional nerves, but those matter too, of course. The more sensitive the nerves are where you want to be tattooed, the more it will hurt. A good tattooer digs deep so the tattoo doesn't fade hardly at all after many years. You won't want the tattoo directly over bone or sensitive nerves.
7. I'm not trying to turn anyone off off tattoos- I love them. I want more, and like seeing other people's. If you've taken especially preaution 6, then the tattoo won't feel any different than a soft paint brush gently rubbing against you. Unless it goes on for hours on end, which detailed tattoos and big tattoos kind of require.
Unless I'm wrong, "scarification" is an old type of tattoo. The skin itself is carved out, instead of ink being needled in. The resulting depression in your skin is the design. The body heals itself pretty well, but scarification can't heal. Think of it like when you carve wood with a chisel- but it's your skin.
Labret--I will remember that if the time ever comes.MassiveGeek said:The lip piercing you mentioned is called a labret. Not to be confused with a vertical labret.Slash Dementia said:
I don't think piercings take away from beauty, nor add to it, personally. If it fits it's cool, if it doesn't then it doesn't. -Shrug-
In the end it is having a piece of metal stuck to your face, if you like or don't like is up to you to decide.
With the piercings, I think it's okay to try them and, like you said, if it fits, it's cool, and if it doesn't, well--meh. They heal and close up if you don't want them. It's the tattoos that I have stronger feelings against. They just stick with you unless you pay to get them removed (or hack the skin off like some movie that I saw).
I've worn a tongue bar for years and I'd recommend it to anyone. Once you get used to the feeling of it you won't even notice it, as won't others unless you go out of your way to show them. It also has a multitude of, er, 'practical' applications that in my experience are always warmly received.
Thanks! *swoon* back at ya. Yeah, nerdy me, I even called some plastic surgeons in my area when I heard of the metal implanting and asked them about that, but they said they didn't do it. I kind of want to find an anesthesiologist to work with the implanter... Anyway, so the lady on the phone sounded really weirded out when I asked her about getting horns bolted on, and in her weirded-out voice, she asked why I'd even consider that. I blatantly lied but she couldn't tell that in my voice. I just said something about a girlfriend and a rough action and requiring handlebars. She was silent a moment, then said that if I ever find someone to do that for me, to call her back. I could tell she was blushing.MassiveGeek said:
