I want a pop-kun on the inside of my bottom lip. Maybe. The place I wanna put it is still up in the air...Cup-kun also seems like a pretty solid choice :3

lol I dunno if cup-kun would fit in with my other tats. I was thinking of DJ Raijin or something similar.
Anyway, here's some photos of my current tats.



You can see the variation of Bishamon from darkstalkers here and suzaku to the right of him. It looks kinda wierd now, but I'm hoping to get a collage of various Asian themed stuff going there.


There's my grim reaper. I need to get it touched up to make him look a little meaner. I'd also like to get some sorta bg going there, too, but I'm not sure on what I would like for a bg yet. Maybe some gray clouds and a clock tower or something.

Hahaha, yessir, the nature of your tattoos might be a bit different than Cup-kun xD

I had part of my lungs removed in September. The staples obviously aren't there anymore but the scar pretty much looks the same.

God, fuck that. My parents double pierced mine when I was a toddler and I fucking HATE IT. I did not consent to that. They have never closed. I had a doctor reopen the wounds after years of no earrings in, and they still did not heal together. Eventually I gave up and now wear plain silver earrings because the naked holes look worse.

I'm a girl. I fucking hate earrings. Thank you for blanket gender statements that apparently make me abnormal.

ps I'm not that hostile, it's not to you, I just really hate the fact that parents do this shit to kids who cannot reasonably consent to a permanent cosmetic procedure.

I can understand, to be honest. I got mine pierced when I was young, didn't take care of them and they closed, then got them re-done. I NEVER wear earrings now. In a sense, I DO think I'm somewhat abnormal for not wearing cute girly earrings, lol. But I wouldn't ever randomly pick out another girl in a crowd and be like "oh god, what a weirdo, she isn't wearing earrings. Freak."

I didn't want my navel pierced until very recently, I got told I was strange for it all of the time. "But you're a cute girl with a flat tummy, get your navel pierced!". I guess I'm also weird for not bleaching my hair, getting a fake tan and buying boobies.

Oh stereotypes, you make me lol. Just remember kids, anything slightly straying from the norm, is WEIRD!

I had my ears pierced when I was about 7. I have little to no tolerance for pain so of course I cried. They closed up on me a few years later (I took the earrings out for a few days and the holes closed up). I kind of regret not having them pierced now but I'm too much of a wimp to get them redone.

On top of getting my ears redone I would also like to get a real naval piercing. I tried doing it myself last year but didn't make the hole big enough for a 14G ring I had (I was using a decent sized needle too....) and again, I have a low tolerance for pain. Is there anything to ease the initial pain or get over the worry?

First of all, piercing yourself is always an awful, awful idea, especially for someone with a self proclaimed inability to tolerate pain very well. I'm not your mommy though, so anyways, to my more helpful comments...

I don't think you could accurately judge your pain tolerance now, based off of how you were when you were 7, however, I have a high pain tolerance and navel piercings hurt me (I have 2)...but if you really want it done, I think the best approach is a mental one; Don't try to trick yourself into believing it won't hurt...just accept that, but instead, talk yourself into the fact that even though it'll hurt, the long term gain is so worth it. It only hurts for seconds, and pain goes away. It works for me, so hopefully it'll work for you, too.

I asked my mom to get my ears pierced in second grade, but sometime in high school they closed up because I was playing a lot of sports that made me take the earrings out, and after a certain point I just got too lazy to put them back in.

So when I went to Japan for a year in high school, EVERYBODY had earrings, and I really wanted to wear them too, but you can't get your ears professionally pierced unless you go to a clinic/hospital. They have these spring-loaded gadgets so you can do it yourself. I stood there for about 10 minutes for each ear, telling myself to just squeeze the box and do it. It wasn't that bad, really. It was the anticipation that killed me. I then did it again for second holes a few months later, but the second holes closed up on me =/ at least the primary ones are still good, even if I don't wear earrings that often. I asked my mom for a pair of cubic zirconias for Christmas and a matching necklace so I've been wearing those a lot.

also, I used to be terrified of needles but after donating blood it stopped being such a big deal.

Yeah, I can understand WANTING them, I've seen plenty of cute earrings and all, but they just don't seem worth the effort. With having so many piercings, I know how annoying it is to change jewelry...at least it's annoying to me. I have so much navel jewelry now and I don't even know why; I rarely change it out.

I thought about guaging my ears just a bit (to about 10), because they're still small, but noticeable, and I don't think I'd feel so inclined to changing the jewelry if I had them guaged. I probably won't do it though, because I'm lazy and guaging has always been icky to me, even though 10 is still a fairly small hole.
