Bodymods

[Scarab]

I'm a huge fan of different bodymods (mainly tattoos, piercings, implants and scarification), but sadly I haven't been able to "mod" much of my body (purely due to money issues). I do have a tongue piercing and stretched earlobes. My earlobes are currently at left: 10mm (00g) and right: 12mm (~1/2 inch). My goal is 12mm in each and then I will probably stay there for a while, but I do have to say that 14 or 16 mm is quite tempting. Before I started stretching I had a total of 10 piercings in my ears, but I took them all out when I came up in around 8mm/0g. I thought it looked a bit strange for some reason.

At the moment I have a lot of plans. I have two full sleeves in mind, a back piece, tribute/memorial tattoos, maybe an implant or two if I ever get enough courage, an industrial piercing and some anchors. Sadly I don't know how many of these I will be able to get since it's still pretty hard to get a job if you got visible mods.

Do you have any bodymods? If so, how many? Do you want to get one/more and what would that be? Let's talk!

I have 3 rings in my left earlobe and 1 on the upper part of the conch. Then I got a lip piercing which I did myself...

I've got a few piercings, but would like some tattoos in the future. I had my lobes done when I was about 15, but I never wear jewellery in them as they swell slightly and itch like crazy and I can't afford to buy, and don't like the look of, solid gold jewellery since everything else irritates them. I've also got my lower, right side lip done, and an industrial bar in my left ear which is my favourite. I'd also like to get an upper cartilage piercing on my right ear and my belly button done.

I don't like "home made" piercings, but I'm not much better myself since I pierced a friend of mine at the age of 15. Pretty stupid now when I think back on it.

I miss my Industrial piercing so much. *le sigh*


I have 2 tattoos and I am going in for a consultation tomorrow about tattoo #3, my beloved chest piece. Cannot. Frigging. Wait.


I have many more tattoo plans, some that have been "in-the-making" for years. I want to do sub-dermal implants, but I don't think hubbs would go for it.

I love industrial piercings. Only down part is that I've heard from a lot of people that the healing process can be very long and annoying, some of them even had to take the jewellery out in order for it to heal properly. Did you have any problems with your industrial?

I had a helix many years ago, but it never healed and when I couldn't sleep on that side of the head I took it out. Now I have a small hole with skin over it in the cartilage.

I have 3 tatts (between shoulderblades, left ankle, right foot), 3 ear lobe piercings (used to be stretched, got tired of them and let them shrink), 1 tragus (left ear), tongue, and belly button (belly button was my first mod ever).

I used to have a you know what, you know where, but took it out because it didn't do anything for me or my husband.  I felt hardcore while I had it, though!   would never get anything like that done again. o.0

I have 3/4" tunnels in my ears and a fused (read: can never remove) helix piercing.  I've had a septum piercing for many years that I occasionally wear jewelry in.  I have others that I won't talk about, and many that are no longer with me.

I am tattooed on my back, both arms down to the elbows, stomach, ribcage, chest, and my right calf.

I had a belly piercing and ear piercings (don't know the right word :$) but had to take it out because I am alergic for all kinds of metal pierced in my.body including gold.

The only thing I have now is a tattoo on the hip on the right side. It has a lot of meaningad I got it to represent a new step in live and to remind me to never go.back and I am.beaitifull just the way I am

And I.would like to have a new one but.my parents hate tatoo's

Ouch at that last one! I bet it did hurt really bad.  I want to pierce both my nipples, but whipping my boobs out at some random guy/girl just don't feel right, can't imagine what you felt like while whipping something else out.

I have my ears pierced. I'd have more but I am terrified of needles and my body physically rejects piercings every time I've gotten them (my ears were pierced 3 times before they were able to stay).

The things youths do. lol
I wouldn't redo that tho, but I'm fine with my li'l spike in the lip.

One day I may get a tattoo, but with the tat-hype I may reconsider it.

If you want a tattoo, find a nice shop that understands your fear of needles and will make you feel comfortable. Bring a soda or something light to nibble on, too. My husband is so phobic of needles he has to leave the room while doctors put my IVs in (I have to do a lot of IV meds and he still can't watch) and he passes out/throws up whenever they draw blood from him or give him a shot.


He got a tattoo almost 3 years ago now on our first wedding anniversary. He was white as a ghost and he nearly passed out in the middle of it, but he loves it so much he's actually planning on having another one done. The thing about tats is that it doesn't look like you're being jabbed with a bunch of needles, but the pain takes some adjustment.

I have three holes in each ear and three tats. One on my right calf, my left foot and an ugly horrible thing on my inner right ankle which I plan to someday remove. I plan on getting another tat this fall, from The Last Unicorn.

I'll admit I was an absolute *slave* to my industrial piercing! Both sides of both holes were throughly cleaned with a mild saline solution and plain water 2-3 times a day with a LOT of cotton buds, and I was nearly constantly wiping off any 'crusty' bits that worked their way down the bar. The whole healing process took around 3 months, or at least that was when I realised I could sleep on my left side without discomfort or pain! To be honest, I don't think you can be too careful when healing piercings, and I'm pleased to say I've never had a single problem with mine. I've had it for about a year and a half, and there's no visible scar tissue, never had any infections or nastyness, and I've never had to take out the original jewellery. My ear looks just like it did before, but with a pretty bar!
