The lady with the lace up back looks a bit like Poet!

 

Anyone seen the body mods where they put 'shapes' under the skin, like a heart on the chest or horns on the head

[Griffin]

Horns! Yep that was the other thing she mentioned him training to do

 

Goats have horns. Humans do not

[chickencam]

I am definately with the yuk brigade on this. I didn't have my ears pierced until I was 40, I went with ED who was 14 at the time and we held each others hands. She hardly ever wears earings now, and i just wear the same studs most of the time but do have a couple of lovely pairs for special occasions. YD wants her ears done too but I feel that she should wait until she is 14 too, I will hold her hand but won't be getting anything else done.

 

The back lacing is silly and looks nasty sore and infected, why would a pretty young girl with good skin do this

our next door neighbour has both nipples pierced, and insists in walking around shirtless in summer. it's very hard to have a conversation about how the veg are doing with someone whose chest is pierced... I make very strong eye contact throughout these conversations.

 

You dont actually say, but i hope your neighbour is of the male variety!

I dont think the 'what about when people are older' really holds up in argument, as there are plenty of more mature people with heavy tattoo coverage and piercings. Im in my 30s and Im pretty much covered with tattoos (Im a tattooist by profession) my partner is 40 this year and also has heavy coverage as do many of our friends. There is a big difference between people who jump on trend bandwagons and get their little stamps, which have little artistic merit and are just names, stars, designs picked of walls etc, and serious collectors such as myself who attend conventions and travel around to collect custom pieces from a number of artists, then its more than a fashion thing as your talking about a serious financial commitment and a lot of time.

 

Piercings dont really interest me as its not art work, its just bits of metal stuffed in skin, but each to their own, I have stretched ears and thats all, and thats just cause I really like a lot of the stretched jewellery, there is some lovely pieces made from stunning materials, to me its not any different from having your ears pierced normally which about 90% of women do anyway.

oops!!!! YES, he is a he. he also has rather extensive tatoos, and designs pornographic pottery. he's not your usual neighbour!

Personally, I don't mind tattoos . No one in my family has one, and I don't particularly like them, but I just find them much nicer than piercings. If I WERE to get a tattoo I would probably get a very small one that would be hidden under normal clothes.

 

Am I the only one who doesn't have any piercings at all My mum can't understand why I don't want one, because she was desperate to have her ears pierced when she was little! I don't really see the point because my hair covers my ears. Also, I have a l o w pain threshold

 

Also to add, there was an article about this bodice piercing thing (they called it 'Corset Piercing') in the Metro today. Some guy had it done on his NECK. **LINK**

A girl at work had a nape piercing & it migrated while she was on her till - never seen so much blood in my life

 

The daughter now wants a hip piercing, apparently.

I am holding her Passport hostage as I know she can't get it done without it.................

Oooh dear , I dread to think where it migrated to wherever it went, it sounds like it needs a passport to get there?

[Cinnamon]

They just popped out - left her with nasty scars too.

Silly girl...she is very pretty & didn't need these adornments in her.

She has her tongue done a few weeks ago,which makes her lisp like anything

[Alis girls]

Nape as in neck? Poor person having to clean up after her

[j00lz_12366]

the back piercing has been around a while..i remember seeing them nearly 10 years ago, so probably a good while before that, but i know it as a corset piercing. I used to have a couple of 'hidden' piercings but these are long gone-my o/h has a real needle phobia and found them quite hard to handle...so to speak..

[sadietoo]

In a previous incarnation my OH worked organising transport for bands on tour...I'm glad to say he managed to be rock and roll without a single piercing or tattoo...but told me about one manager of a very well known band who had started out as a guitar tech, and had loads of tattoos completely covering his arms. Great at the time, but when it came to negotiating deals with top record labels, he had to wear long sleeves, even in the hottest weather, or no one would take him seriously...

 

My DS friend has dreadlocks, no piercings and no tattoos....I think he looks fabulous. and I would always encourage and extreme hair style to show individuality rather than anything permanent

 

My daughter has her ears pierced (just conventionally) and a tragus piercing, which, after her year in France she now wants to take out but no one can shift it at the moment. Also her experience of French girls is that they don't wear makeup and dress very modestly....it has certainly changed her opinion on what she would and wouldn't wear, because as she said herself, they were just so authentic....her aim now is to be naturally gorgeous, and I am so pleased

 

Cinnamon your daughter is lovely....but just perfect as she is...

[kerryegg]

Boring I know but on my daughters 21st birthday I told her that I was very proud of the fact I had reared her to 21 without piecings, tattoos or filled teeth. Not all my doing she left for university at 18. Slight discussion about a pierced nose at 17 but fortunately she decided against it.

....

 

 

I wish I had her figure! (without the corset thingy!)

[BarbaraJ]

i too are of the opinion any other piercing than the ears does nothing for me. Don't even like to look at my DD's belly button piercing which she loves to show me both girls 20 & 24 have tattoos, both have them just black and on their sides thank goodness. Son 21 hasn't got anything though he fancied an eyebrow piercing once but was too young at the time and outgrew the idea I always tell them think about,nothing too noticeable until you are established in a job.

[MammaT]

It says in the article on the link that LuckyChickenLover posted that those corset piercings are temporary but leave scars. I wonder how long before some brides think it's a nice idea to move on from a lace-up, corset backed wedding dress to just the lace-up corset back???

 

All leaves me cold I'm afraid.

[patsylabrador]

I can't help imagining how horrible that would be if she got caught up on something or someone thought it funny to give it a little tug.

[craftyhunnypie]

Oh my god - all this horror! I have my ears pierced twice. The back ones usually have small diamond studs in & the normal ones my dangly earrings. I also have my nose pierced with a tiny diamond stud in. That's it. Once had belly button done - but body rejected it - it grew out?!

Do people want to look like demons, aliens & vampires or what? A lot of people are into witchy things & ' the dark side' these days - but why show it through your body?

What's next?

[clootie]

So hows about subdermal implants?

 

I've already got natural horns so don't need the added expense ............

[The Dogmother]

 

I have horns and a tail.... for informal wear only

[clootie]

[craftyhunnypie]

So who on the forum has got something unusual / wierd?

Emma.x

[Chickvic]

I have my one ear pierced 3 times the other ear 4 times. Tragus piercing and about 20 tattoos mostly on my upper arms/back. I do have an ankle tattoo and one on my foot, the only one that is usually on show is the one on my inner wrist.

A friend of mine has had 3 studs put in a line down her chest - that does not appeal!
