I don't like the thought of a tatoo. No ink poisoning for me thank you.

*shudders*
Luckily I was to sick to care at the time....but they stick like a 6 inch needle into you back to take spinal fluids for testing....but first of coarse they numb the spot, so you can actually only feel the needle popping in you back.....*cringes* Maybe thats why I hate needles so much even now.....

hehe.....no more writing notes on your hand then i suppose...eh?

*kyabetsu* · 03-21-2003, 11:09 AM

okay...

so.

FIRST. piercings rock.

jewelery... well... i'm all about it.

i've got three holes in each of my ears and i'm looking to get a nose ring on my nostril... not a septum (the middle part) piercing those just don't do it for me.

i've considered my eyebrow as a serious NEXT next step... heh.

SECONDLY
tattoos are the bomb.
i've got one the size of my hand on my lower back... took 5 hours and two sessions, but damn, do i love it.

I'm told I did when I was very young, but I don't remember. I DO however, remember the numerous blood draws, IV's and drainage tubes I've had stuck in me this week.

Still, I don't hate needles.

*Nickokapo* · 03-21-2003, 11:52 AM

I don't mind people that use piercing, i think it looks good actually, but im not a big fan of it, and i sure don't need anymore holes in my body

*kyabetsu* · 03-21-2003, 12:12 PM

you know what?...

when i came home w/ my tattoo, my grandfather told me that i'd "Defaced God's Temple"...

now alll debates about higher powers aside...

i see it this way:

if i was adding/changing/removing things to my body out of a sense of SPITE... to flip people out, or to offend the world on both a spiritual and secular level... well, hell...

then yeah. that would be sucky of me and a waste of a perfectly normal body.

but you know what?
i do it cause i think it looks beautiful, because i think ornamentation and decoration of what your born with is not only your CHOICE, but if it makes you happy, it's your RIGHT!

so is god pissed? are the neighbors whisperring? will i feel bad if someone w/ less earrings than me gets the job we're BOTH interviewing for?...

i say that the higher power (if there is one or more) likes pretty stuff, as evidenced by the stuff he/she/it/they/the unfeeling and non-personified cosmos has generated... puppies, butterflies, sunsets, Ferraris, latex body suits, flowers, rainbows, and more compact engery efficient dishwashers...

are MY neighbors whispering?... uh... they've got more piercings and PROBLEMS than me. let'em.

the job market? ... if the employer judges us on our performances and whether we best fit the criteria for the position?... then HELL YEAH i'm gonna be bummed. but i'll get over it.

wouldn't you?

and i get to go home and look at my tattoo again anyways.

*Nickokapo* · 03-21-2003, 12:18 PM

I totally agree, it's your body and you can do whatever you want with it...just because it's yours.
I dont think religion is bad but there's gotta be a limit

*kyabetsu* · 03-21-2003, 12:24 PM

heh.

i'm just saying. if there is a god, i bet he thinks my tattoo's cool too.

**HorseTechie** · 03-21-2003, 02:33 PM

*kerplunk*

Nope. I don't have a problem with needles of anykind either. IV needles.. such interesting things they are, yes.

What I do have, is this annoying little commitment called a husband. He also thinks percings and tattooings are disgraceful to the body. Thus, he forbids me from getting anything beyond pierced ears. *sai*

Oh well, that's what made up characeters are for. *has fun designing body art on her TMNT characters*

Shadow · 03-21-2003, 06:54 PM

yeah all my made up characters (including shadow) has a tatoo or percings.

Not my body no way no how. Needles scare me. I have to have some one come with me to hold my hand if I get a shot...and they have to tie me down to take blood...and I'm 21!!

Yes a baby am I.

*Voltron* · 03-21-2003, 08:12 PM

I'd never waste my money on Jewelry, piercings, or tatoos. I don't care if people get them, in fact I applaude the way they demand to stand out. That's right, stand out by following in everyone else's foot steps. It used to be back in the day you only got a tatoo or piercing other than your ear if you could kick anyone's ass. These days everybody has them. And I see no real perks in getting these things. As you age tatoos become wrinkled and ugly. A tatoo of a dolphin in time becomes a whale. And piercings leave holes in you. Good luck trying not to look like a low life at a job interview when it looks like your last job was a target in a shooting gallery.

My favorite however, is gauging. I feel like throwing poodles through the giant holes everybody has in their thinks are so cool anymore.

*Jade Green* · 03-22-2003, 09:42 PM

Ignoring Voltron's usual disagreement on topics.

I generally agree with Kya, though I think they look better on other people rather than me.

As of tattoos; the 'defacing gods temple' thing is really in the bible (my dad being some kind of religion buff showed it the passage to me once, cant remember for the life of me where it is now), it talks about how every one's body is their mortal temple to god.. He said that Tattoos were like tagging the side of a church or cathedral...

I still like them anyways... on other people. If I ever were to get one, it would be someplace not easily seen by people, like on my thigh or on my back or...

on the back of my neck

I wanted to get a Barcode for a long time.

*Voltron* · 03-22-2003, 10:16 PM

I've alwasy wanted to get beaten in the face with a sledge hammer! I'm sure everyone in here would volunteer. But I'm afraid of needles. They hurt and make me punch the damn doctor and or person who does the piercing.

*kyabetsu* · 03-22-2003, 11:13 PM

See, that's the thing i tried to explain to my grandfather, Jade... I KNOW it's in the Bible... but...

i dont' see it as a random tag... i think it's more equivalent to hanging up the little kid's sunday school Arts and Crafts projects in the church foyer. It's not DEFACEMENT of the body; it's meant to be an enhancement. It's not NEARLY on par with the stuff that "God" is responsible for... it's not NEARLY as complicated or FUNCTIONAL (like my EYES or my HANDS...) but it's put up with the genuine thought that it makes the temple/church prettier... and more PERSONAL...

This is what i did WITH the "temple" that "God" gave me, because i LIKE the "temple" ... not b/c i'm trying to mark it up or hurt it...

and Voltron?
that whole argument against getting Tattoos because they look gross on old people...? that just doesn't make SENSE. OLD PEOPLE just look GROSS. end of story. whether they have tattoos or NOT... if you're 80 years old, then PLEASE KEEP YOUR SHIRT ON!

so... since we're all gonna look like Moose Poop ANYWAYS, what does it matter if you had a fun childhood? so you've got a whale now instead of a dolphin? so what? you've also got cellulite bags, vericous veins, liver spots, and hair growing out of your ears.

i mean... there are PLENTY of perfectly good reasons not to get body art done. (just plain NOT WANTING ANY is perfectly fine.) but if the only thing stopping you is a fear of what it'll look like LATER? then dude... screw that... a tattoo isn't gonna make old age any WORSE than anything else.

Shadow · 03-22-2003, 11:30 PM

TRUE STORY!

guys i hate needles so much when i was about five i had to get stitches...and i had four nurses and my dad hold me down. one nurse let go of my leg and i kicked the male doctor right between the legs.

at least i got him to stop.

*kyabetsu* · 03-23-2003, 12:05 AM

way to go, Shadow.

the only thing i've got that even comes close is barfing on my gym teacher's shoes. he didn't think i was sick. heh. but ... uh... that's not really on topic. and it's not really much of a story either....

yup.

that was it...

the end.

~~Tokka-B~~ · 03-23-2003, 12:57 AM

Tattoos and piercings are the demise of modern culture, it shows how stupid humanity can really be

It was something that just had to be done. Ya know. LOL

*kyabetsu* · 03-23-2003, 07:13 AM

actually, piercing and tattooing are hardly a "modern" innovation. And since techniques, equipment, hygiene practices, and medical treatment and procedures are VASTLY improved since the days of "numb it with ice and stab a needle through it"... well, i'd say that it's a whole lot more reasonable NOW than it used to be.

Here's a link to the University of Pennsylvania Museum... they STUDY this stuff and know WAY more "History of Piercing" than i do or ever will... but they show a number of statutes and artifacts that date back as far as 9th century B.C....

http://www.upenn.edu/museum/Exhibits/bodmodpierce.html

yeah. i'm SO glad that i live in an age where they sell PAINKILLERS in handy, easy-to-swallow caplets. i dont' think i could have done my piercings the "old-fashioned way."... let alone TAKING CARE of my piercings in a world where LEECHES are considered viable medical treatment.

*Duke* · 03-24-2003, 06:39 PM

I'm not a real big fan of piercing or tattoos. I would never get either myself and am not a fan of guys with any piercing but i do know some guys with their left ear pierced. But i don't even like that. And girls with a ton of piercing are a major turn off for me. I don't mind girls with pierced ears at all and i can live with a belly button but after that i just don't like it. But i know plenty of my friends who don't mind it at all and even some that think its attractive. Thats what makes life interesting people have different tastes. And as for tattoos, i just wouldn't ever permenately stain my skin. I mean what if your interests change and you no longer like it. Then your stuck with it unless you pay the big bucks for laser. I have a friend who did that and she said it wasn't the most pleasurable thing she's ever done. But thats just my opinion.
