OMG I can't stop thinking about tattoos and piercings since I because single (I always wanted them done I guess but refrained because of Eddy)... mmm where do you get your inspiration? You seem knowledgable.
What kind of piercings have you been thinking about? Here's where I get most of my ideas:
http://www.bmezine.com/ (http://www.bmezine.com/)
I mostly searched around here http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Main_Page (http://wiki.bmezine.com/index.php/Main_Page)
I just looked around until I saw a piercing that "spoke to me". I don't know how to phrase it, I just kind of felt complete when I saw it. The second page is great, because it shows the risks and stuff associated.
The best thing to do is just research, research, research the piercing before you get it. The same goes for tattoos, except for even more research. Most piercings you can take out and go back to normal (the exceptions are stretched piercings and dermal punches), but tattoos are forever. The removal process is usually more expensive and painful than the actual tattooing.
Do a lot of research on local tattoo shops to make sure you're not going to get fucked over. A good LJ community for finding shops is bodymods. You can also read through their tags for experiences relating to different piercings and such. I also read stretched, bmezine, and _modified. There's even communities for "what piercing should I get" opinion stuff. I don't know any of those offhand though.
Another good site if you want to ask questions and stuff is http://forums.bodyartforms.com/forums/ (http://forums.bodyartforms.com/forums/), though I think it's down right now.
Sorry this turned into a novel, but this is a pretty big interest of mine, lol.
That's exactly what I need though, thanks a bunch! Not sure I would really go to a forum to ask other people what they think I should get haha but the other comms look great. I'm not gonna do anything crazy I don't think... the idea of one single cartilage piercing scares the hell out of me (1 year to heal, really, 1 year?!)
As for tattoo, I'm up for it, but I just don't know what yet, or where. And you have to be able to say you're happy to have it for the rest of your life...
