One tattoo on my left shoulder. Will probably get more... Had my eye on a cross I want on my back and the Rodolphe Salis Chat Noir on my right shoulder.
Never was too into piercings. Too much trouble to take care of them.

Well then.
I dig a chick with a tramp stamp.
It's one of the only "areas" I find tattoos on women to be attractive.

Funny that this thread got resurrected. My wife and I started talking about getting Tattoos this week end. Its something we have "been thinking about" for some time now.

A "Bull's eye" tattoo might not be to good an ide if you're going to Allentown.

After the scisors incident, I went and got a tetnus shot.
Mold should not be a big issue. It is unslghtly, and can lend to some funky flavors but should not be life threatning.
The scisors on the other hand were a definate no-no. I was opening bags of pine bark mulch and didn't have a knife handy. So I used one edge of the scisors. It worked great till I plunged the other blade about two inches in my thigh.
One of those things you do where you immediatly think "that isn't right". Biggest concern was possiblility of cutting a vein or artery. The blade slipped just under the skin and did no major dammage t the muscle.
Real "Dumb Fuck" move. So much for getting in a hurry.

Those are them thick 'n' syrupy shots in the ass.
I recommend keeping up on your boosters to avoid that one.

Lost the end of my little finger on the left hand while trying to remove a set of shackles from a 1952 pannel van in a junkyard. I was using a 1/2" extension as a drift and the shackle popped out. Little finger went into displace the space available. The end of the leaf spring snapped up against the shackle mount and pinched the finger off at the bone.
It felt like I had stuck my hand in a very hot oven without touching anything. Just Hot. No pain, just heat.
I could see the end of the bone sticking out, so I wrapped a rag aorund it, got my tools and the parts, and drove to the hospital.
The loss of half the digit on the little finger plays hell with q, a, z, and x on the keyboard. The rest of my typos are typlexia.

The last one of my friends to get one got it as a matter of personal expression.
And I think she got it there because she was running out of places for tats.
And what I noticed about hers is that the basic shape (an inverted triangle) creates the illusion of a slimmer waistline.
And with all the exposed midriffs we have in this area, I suppose it's a logical place to decorate.

I think they get it there because it's a place you can hide it when you want to, or show it off when you want to.
Personnaly, If/when I get inked it will be in a place that I can hide/show as I see fit.

My wife's friend has a tattoo there. When she leaned forward on the sofa, her shirt rode up and exposed it. I looked at it trying to figure out what it was. A spider web maybe? I look up and there's my wife on the other side watching me look at the tattoo. She seems to think it's a slutty thing. So I was wondering what it is really... A fashion statement, or something for her boyfriends to look at when coming in from behind (which honestly didn't occur to me until much later)?

For $10,000, Woman Tattoos Ad on Forehead
By The Associated Press
The Associated Press
Thursday, June 30, 2005; 9:40 AM
SALT LAKE CITY -- For $10,000, Kari Smith has gone ahead and had her forehead tattooed with the Web address of a gambling site.
Bountiful, 30, who sold her unusual advertising space on eBay, said the money will give her 11-year-old son a private education, which she believes he needs after falling behind in school.
"For the all the sacrifices everyone makes, this is a very small one," she said. "It's a small sacrifice to build a better future for my son," she said.
"To everyone else, it seems like a stupid thing to do. To me, $10,000 is like $1 million. I only live once, and I'm doing it for my son," she said.
Tattoo artist Don Brouse said he and his staff spent nearly seven hours Wednesday trying to talk Smith out of putting "GoldenPalace.com" above her face. When he did go through with it, he kept the inch-tall letters close to her hairline, where bangs or a hat could provide some cover.
Smith's eBay auction attracted more than 27,000 hits and 1,000 watchers. Bidding reached $999.99 before Goldenpalace.com, an Internet gambling company in the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake, CanuckyFuckyLand, met Smith's $10,000 asking price.

Goddammit Rimmy!!! It's going to be very difficult to beat your top poster position if all your posts are limited to emoticons and short, guttural, monosyllabic, insulting snatches! I like to think I put a lot of thought into what goes up on here, and I derive especial pleasure in knowing that the promise of entertainment my posts generate is a hollow fraud perpetrated on an unsuspecting and perhaps uncaring audience of perverts, freaks, drunks, and layabouts. And, of course, if these degenerates could participate in one unified impulse, it would be to drive me away from the Lounge, and every other literary endeavor, under pain of castration, for the rest of eternity. And I would maintain a sense of vengeful bitterness for the remainder of my existence against the brevity of communication popularized by Rimmy, the Lounge, and the Internet in general!!! My cabin in the wilds of Wyoming is awaiting me and my broken typewriter, where I will pen vitriolic manifestoes against easily understandable intercourse until the Feds burst in, shouting at me in short, clear, fascisistic commands!!!!
I've been wanting to truly contextualize that emoticon for so long now.
