Tattoos and Piercing Fun

[Posture Moll]

I found a pic online of a guy, who's tatoo, when fully errect is a dragon, wings included and a piercing for the eyes. Wonder if he's a dragonfly when flacid.

I just googled 'dragon' + 'Tattoo' + 'penis' and found it.

Holy Hell! Were I ever to come across *that* IRL, I think I would need some serious counseling.

...My bf is a tattooist. I have to admit...

Some of his sucky customer stories are the worst I've ever heard, I feel guilty sometimes complaining to him about the ass I had come through my call que.. when he has to spend sometimes 5hrs with these people... on a repeat basis. Guarentee that they'll be back when he's not able to finish up the job in one sitting.

He loves his work, but he could really add some stories to the site for sure hahaha..

*shudder* I could and would never get any piercings or tattoos.... makes me wonder why I even read these threads. *blush*

I've had my ears pierced. Twice. You can't tell.

I'd love to have pierced ears, but they never close. If I had let them seal up around the earrings, they would have. *sigh*

^-.-^

*can't resist* No, my girlfriend's name isn't Wendy - it says "welcome to Jamaica have a nice day"

The guy who did my tattoo was old school and only took jobs on referal and wouldn't do flash unless it was his own - walk-ins got the newbies and flash.

I got my ears pierced when I was 11...my mom took me to the jewelry store and didn't tell me where we were going or why. I got a second set of holes when I was 12, on my own on a school trip to Toronto, but they have since closed up years ago since I hardly ever wear earrings in the first holes, let alone the second. Every time I get dressed up and put in earrings I'm reminded of why I have tiny studs that I bought for the purpose of keeping earrings in so it wouldn't hurt every time I get dressed up and want to wear earrings... (and I'm still not wearing them)

Funny story: I am notoriously difficult to get blood from...my skin is very light, which makes my veins very visible, and they always think it will be easy, and then it always takes them 2 or more tries to get it. (They once tried 3 times before they switched to the butterfly needle they usually use on kids, and it finally worked.) Anyway, I went to the doctor one time and they wanted to run some tests, so the tech came in and I was all prepared for a few sticks. He got it on the first try. I have to wonder if the fact that he was so good had anything to do with the sheer number of holes he had punched in his face...several in each ear, eyebrow and lip...

Ok, I just googled the dragon guy...on the one hand, that is seriously cool; on the other...

I finally decided to google that dragon penis. Thank God I wasn't breaking rule #1. That's freaking hilarious.

This is an odd story from the tattoo shop...

Last year, I went with a friend while she got a tattoo. Another woman came in and my friend and her got to talking...

Friend: You don't look like the kind of person who'd get a tattoo.

She and the two artists started to laugh.

Woman: And what kind of person looks like they'd get a tattoo?

Yeah, yeah, whatever. After everybody settled down, the woman looked at me...

Woman: What tattoos do you have?
Me: None. Not now, probably not ever.
Friend: Yeah, he's into that metal shit. Piercings.
Woman: Um... hum... uh... now it's my turn to say "You don't look like someone who'd get a body piercing."
Me: Life's funny, ain't it?

I'm a total wuss when it comes to inflicted pain, but I'm seriously thinking about that UV tattooing stuff.... I'm a huge glow-in-the-dark / UV Reactive collector.

I can just imagine getting leopard spots along my arms that only shows up when I'm near a blacklight. Some of the images I found were really cool. Like a regular tattoo of a stained glass window with UV ink so that it also lights up under the blacklight.

I have my ears pierced three times on each side. I had the first piercing done when I was 8, the second when I was 14, and the third when I was 21. I have a little quirk of the cartilage on my right ear that causes it to have a slight point near the top (it must be my elven blood!).

I've tried twice to have this part of my ear pierced. I think it's called the helix. The first time, I had done with a needle at a tattoo/piercing studio. It got infected, I got quite sick, and I took out the ring and let the hole grow in. Last September, I got the bright idea to try again, and this time I went to a piercing kiosk in the mall, where the girl told me that if I tried white gold (instead of stainless steel) and a stud instead of a hoop, it would probably work better.

Eight months later, and this sucker still bleeds. I don't think that's natural. I guess I just wasn't meant to have that piercing. Then again I am diabetic, with my own healing issues. That's what kept me from following through on the idea of getting my navel pierced when I get down to my target weight.

[Noelegy]

Whoever it was said that piercings hurt worse than tattoos...my mileage varied quite a bit. I had to have the second and third piercings in my ear done as cartilage piercings, because I have rather small ears. I don't really remember them hurting all that badly. The helix piercing hurt because it got infected (and I kept catching my hairbrush on it)

My three tattoos were all over the place, pain-wise. My first one, on my shoulderblade, felt like someone drawing really hard on my skin with a ballpoint pen. More uncomfortable than painful. My second, just below my navel, hurt because I had to take a deep breath and let it out very slowly while the artist worked, so my ab muscles were sore the next day.

But the big daddy, the third tattoo (and probably not the last), the one that's the size of my hand and is on my thigh, took two hours and I could barely walk the next day. But it was definitely worth it.

When my wife was getting her first tatoo, two girls walked into the parlor.

They see the artist working on my wife, they see the blood, they hear the needle, they see her squeezing my hand.

Does it hurt?

I went in Monday to have a tattoo finished that had been started back in January. I onlt have one other tattoo and don't hang out in the parlors but it struck me as really weird and inconsiderate when a buddy of my artist came into his booth and randomly started gossiping. I was sitting there topless (tattoo is down my spine) and he's just staring at me in the mirror. Starts flirting with me, telling me how pretty my design is. I was in pain and naked from the waist up, was it really approppriate to let strangers (to me) hang out and watch without my permission? I love my artist, but I don't think he realized how uncomfortable it made me.

[Andara Bledin]

Perhaps you should let him know? Some people can be utterly clueless and totally unaware that what they're doing isn't really appropriate and can make others uncomfortable.

But I know freaks. I'm friends with Dennis Avner, aka Stalking Cat. The pics on his site are a bit out of date, though, as he's gotten eyebrow whiskers to match the ones in his cheeks.

Ooh, Tiger Man! I was wondering what happened to him...

Farthest I've ever gone is a semi-pro gray wolf makeup job, ears and a tail for visiting-freshmen days. After the first year I did it, the stage makeup instructor asked me to do it every year as an "ad" for the program
