I ended up getting my smiley piercing.... and got rid of it 2 weeks later. It was relaly bothering my gums when I wore a horseshoe barbell. My next mod will be my first tattoo in May.

a smiley is the piercing of the web of skin in front of your lower teeth. I used to have a frownie, which is the piercing of the web of skin in front of your upper teeth. They're quite bad for your gums, as my dentist told me. I started having damage on my gums from it, so I took it out. I haven't worn jewellry in it for 4 months and its still open!

SMILEY
FROWNIE
The richness I achieve comes from Nature, the source of my inspiration. |

My frownie, without the captive bead (I was putting it back in):

I really really want to get some kind of tattoo on my leg or my side of hawaiian flowers in a blue/green colour...maybe with a koi..
|

Ok so my next tattoo venture will be in a month and will be of two chinese characters that mean "wife" and I will be getting in done on my wrist. My husband will be getting the "husband" characters tattooed as well. This will be our 2 year wedding anniversary present haha.

Thats a really cute idea.

Just had three stars tattoo'd to left side...
No more piercings though....I'm starting to run out of things to pierce

I want to get an upper arm band of the tread pattern of a rally tire... think it'd be very cool, unique, and it definitely would suit what I do.
Also thought about getting the shift pattern diagram of my '72 VW Beetle on my right shoulder.

back to the original topic:
I used to have a rook pierce which didn't take kindly to being stretched to 6 guage and started growing out. The cartilage is torn (as is the cartilage at my tragus pierces [2 guage]) so I found a piercer who found a place with enough cartilage to hold a new rook pierce in the same ear. ...at 8 guage! :^)
next issue...$$$

I shoved a little (16ga?) ring through the old rook hole and have been wearing it for several months now. I think it'll not grow out if I don't stretch it, so I think I'll keep it.
I've been thinking about a big horizontal hole in my upper conch (flat). I believe I've seen it in the Masai tribe of Africa. definitely more of a "wish list" than an actual plan. May put jewelry back in my frenum holes (one's grown over...there'll be blood) and back in my apadravya (the top hole shrunk quite a bit, but I know it's still open if you know what I mean).
My wife got a tattoo gun, so I got my first tattoo. It's on the back of my left leg from a couple of inches below my knee to an inch above my ankle. It's blackwork cave-drawing style of an African deer-like creature representing our adopted son. It's mostly finished, the quality is kind of spotty, so she'll be giving my lots of free touch ups.
related wishlist (actual plan): She'll be doing a similar, yet subtly different one on my right calf representing our adopted daughter. Sometime in the hopefully not too distant future ($$$) I'll go to a professional and get the Patchwork Girl from the Wizard of Oz series on my right shoulder/arm representing our birth daughter and the patches can be flags/tartans/mini-images representing all sorts of things I haven't finalized yet. Then a professional (or maybe my wife) can do a raven/blackbird image from Marion Zimmer Bradley's book The Forest House on my left shoulder facing forward and one on my wife's right shoulder facing backward (by me or a professional).
More wish than plan would be a cartoon version of a cross between old Sinead O'Conner and new Joan Jett. Bald muscular girl, tank top shirt, rolled up jeans, combat boots representing my inner riot grrrl...heheh.
Another dream is actually a dream of my wife's of a back/body piece for me. A giant squid with tentacles wrapping around my legs, arms and torso. Probably not going to happen, but not ruled out.
Drains, tunnels, bridges and caves mostly.

Current:
Asian writing tattoo on left shoulder blade. The two words mean "vengeance" and "eternal"

Current: right nostril, two lobes on both ears, tragus on left ear, cartilage on right ear. two tattoos, one upper back, one left ribcage.
Retired: none
Wishlist: medusa. has anyone had any problems with the back of the labret rubbing against the gums too hard? i figure when i pierce it, i'd go with a bioplast/bioflex labret so it doesn't rub as roughly.
