Piercings and Tattoos

[Jellybeansoup]

What was the most painful place for tattoo / piercing? None of mine were too bad, it was the length of time one of them took that aggrivated me moreso than the pain

I’ve had my nose pierced three times (never thought the placements of any suited my face so constantly let it heal up and get re done in another position) and to me that is the worst pain

previously had my septum done and have my ribs tattooed which were a breeze in comparison! For some reason nose piercings just reaaally hurt for me

 

[Geranium]

One wrist tattoo. 7 lobe piercings, 1 cartilage, 1 Tragus (all except the lobe piercings done in my 50s)

would love more but after nearly dying from sepsis the family won’t let me take the risk!

 

[ilikelamp]

I really want a tattoo on my ribs but I'm afraid of the pain. My other 2 aren't on boney areas

 

[Gym&Tonic]

One shoulder tattoo, two ear lobe piercings and a nose ring, I used to have my belly button and the top of my ear done as well, but that never really settled because I had it done with a gun in Claire’s.

I've got loads of ink, most painful was probably my chest piece and a half sleeve cover up that we did an eight hour session on the first siting, was horrendous! One of my favourite and most complimented pieces now though and most don't even realise it was a cover up so I guess it was worth it have a lot more on my upper body and only two on my leg so need more coverage there!

Piercings I've had about 20 over the years but just stick to nostril, septum, lip and lots in my ears now. Have retired a fair few. Have an industrial/scaffold in my ear which took FOREVER to heal when I was a youngster, then I lost the jewelry and like an idiot left it, repierced it a couple of years ago and took forever to heal AGAIN so that one I take extra care of. Last one I got was my daith and it was a great little healer

I have the usual ear piercings, a tragus, nose and belly button.
I had a clitoris piercing ( removed it )
A nipple piercing ( rejected)
A forward helix ( rejected)
Nipple piercing was by far the most painful for healing . .

Had tattoos on my boobs, lasered off now, again, extremely painful, worse than having them done.

 

[Saddlesoap]

I want a tattoo similar to this. Was all psyched up to have it last year round blood donations.

I just can't decide whether to have it on the top of my thigh, just below my knickers, or on the side of my ribcage

Oh and I'd like my nose pieced, but wouldn't be able to wear it at work, so I've got a fake

 

[Charsior]

I have 13 ear piercings! ^ in one ear and 7 in another. I have my lobes done 3 times in both, a triple forward helix and conch in one and 2 cartilage (top ear) and also my rook done. None really hurt but the triple helix was a witch to heal as i had all 3 done at the same time. My conch got infected a fair bit and my rook has been a dream I was just scared to touch it!
I would love a small tattoo to tribute my horse of a life time, but I only want it when he is no longer around

 

[Cunderthunt]

I've only got my ear lobes pierced once. I had them redone 3 times because they were uneven. And they're still uneven. So I haven't worn earrings for about 10 years, and they've semi closed up. I can't get an earring through but they exude pus occasionally.

I would like them redone, but how can you ensure a piercer will do them symmetrically? I had them done by needle.

 

[violet.moon]

I've got 14 tattoos, plan on getting more.
Piercings: 3 lobe, bottom ones are stretched, conch, and helix on both ears, and I have my nose pierced. I did have more piercings when I was younger, but I've took them out. Only new piercing I want is a daith.

 

[ChloChlo]

I have two piercings in each ear (I very rarely use the 2nd) and my nose pierced, just a standard stud. I would love more tattoos and have a small one of my eldest sons names, it's quite a delicate and modest script and size. My other arm I have a cover up of an ex partners name, it is again quite small. I've never really been able to committ to anything bigger for some reason. Anything I like the look of ends up very faddy not long after so I've always been happy I haven't.

 

[Ceebee]

I have 8 piercings in total and only 2 tattoos (so far). For the piercings, I have both earlobes which are stretched to 10 mm currently (struggling to size up to 12!) Both nostrils, my septum, a lip piercing on the left side, a dermal anchor under my left eye and my belly button. I would love to get another dermal anchor under my right eye to even things up, and I'd love to be covered in tattoos but money stops me

 

[Pink_Flamingo]

I have two small tattoos, I’m thinking of getting another one soon.
My ears are pierced, but I only wear earrings occasionally.

 

[Smushy]

If I had it my way I would be covered in tattoos head to toe! . 8 tattoos before I had my hand & a sleeve started before the first lock down, so need to get that finished. I want the top of my shoulder, side of neck done too.

 

[Koakes]

11 tattoos and zero piercings. Definitely want more tattoos tho. Thinking about getting my nose pierced but worried it will look dumb or ill have an allergic reaction haha

Inside finger most painful followed by inner elbow

I’m covered in them , couple I regret and have been reworked but the rest all have sentimental reasons for me , I have my daughters ashes mixed into some of them .. granted that’s not for everyone’s dinner some may find it strange but to me it is something healing

 

[Amyx1518]

I’ve got three tattoos and currently only wear my ear piercings; lobes x2, tragus and cartilage. Over the years I’ve had tongue, bellybutton x4 and a surface piercing on my outer wrist. The name of it escapes me! I’d love my nose pierced

I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter! My best friend did the same thing for her daughter who passed. I think its a wonderful idea

 

[Blurp]

I've nine tattoos and eight piercings - three in each ear lobe, my nose and left helix.

I really fancy my tragus and anti-tragus next for my 60th birthday, again in the left ear as I sometimes wear a hearing aid in my right. The helix piercing was no bother and the nose had me swear under my breath and grip the chair arms but was fine after the jewellery was in. My eyes streamed too!

The tattoo around my ankle and the top of my foot was ok; I just drank tea and chatted to the tattooist. The longest and most painful was across the bottom of my back; there's a lot of nerves at the spine there and it is very fine and detailed, including delicately coloured wild flowers. There were two or three chocolate breaks for that one! The inner bits of my arm band were a bit sore too.

Just piercings for me. That Jema Lucy woman is enough to put anyone off tattoos!
