all started... well, I've been vaguely obsessed with wings as long as I can remember. I've wanted a pair for a long time, but I've seen wing tattoos and didn't like most of them, at least for me. I'm a bit of a purist, I guess, and know I'm not going to sprout any. What to do? Why, ask Tony DiTerlizzi of Magic and Dungeons and Dragons Planescape fame to draw mechanical-looking batwings for me. I emailed him, and he knows who I am, at least vaguely, so he said "as long as we're talking doodle here, it'll take a ...

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, out of sheer boredom I went to get my septum pierced. l've had a tattoo in mind also. But wasn't planning on getting it anytime soon. So I drive on down to Body Art in Mesa, AZ. They are the nicest guys in the world there! It was a very comfortable environment and I would recommend it to anyone! As I arrive I waited for about 10 minutes. I started looking at flash art. My former idea for a tattoo left me when I saw a pair of angel wings. They looked fairly big, ...

everyone. I've been reading BME religiously for quite a few months now. It is definitely my favorite site on the web! I've wanted my tongue pierced for as long as I can recall. Well I turned 18 last October but my parents were heavily against me getting a hole in my tongue so I simply got 4 more piercings in my ears to make 11. Since then I have watched practically a fourth of my senior class get theirs pierced and my brother. However when I told my mother I would just go and do it one day she threatened ...

was time to add to my collection. After the first tattoo (a lizard on my left chest), I had a newfound appreciation for tattoos. In other words, I was hooked! I called Keith on Thursday, April 1 and got a quote for the next piece. It's another lizard. He said about $125. He said he could have his apprentice do it for half price -- but I said I would prefer if he did it. He understood and said OK. I'm also going to have some green put into the lizard tattoo on my chest. He said that would cost ...

I'm addicted to tattoos and moons... Being the youngest of three, and being subject to the peer pressure, I had to get a tattoo. My older brother who was in the Navy at the time had a few, and my older sister had one, I couldn't be left out, so they twisted my arm and made me get one! Ok...so I'm exagerating a bit. The fact was I went with my sister to get hers, and while she was getting it, I fell in love with this tattoo of an eye with foliage surrounding it. And one day I said, ...

Dear BME, My name is Walter Terrell, and I have been checking out your web page every now and then to get ideas of what kind of tattoos and piercing I want in the future. Well the weekend before v-tines day '99 I finally went through with it. I went to my friend's house in Brockport, NY and decided to get my tongue pierced. Well a few days before I went up, I had an allergic reaction to some tomatoes and my tongue swelled up and blistered. Well I went around with my friend and checked out a few places. ...

nter> Beautiful Friend Sophie This is a story about my tattoo. It is also a story about something that is very dear to me. It's still hard for me to think about it because it's such an emotional subject. I'll start with the story of my tattoo first. I had my first and only (or so I thought) tattoo done at a parlor in the town of Marengo, IL. The shop is called Visionquest Tattoos & Things. After 2 years of "the what to get" debate, I decided on my Pisces sign. My pisces symbol means a lot to me, ...

lo...some of you may read my infrequent posts on the Whatever and piercing boards...I've never posted an actual experience, but here goes: I grew up in Reading, UK. When I was 17 I got my nipples pierced by a sort of hack piercer. I moved to America when I turned 18, to go to college in New York. Two years later, one nipple pierce was ripped out...unfortuanetely, but actually kind of nifty, that nipple is always hard now. Anyway, since then I've gotten a vert. clit hood, tongue (just got it repierced in England after 3 years of it not ...

et pierced fairly often and rarely take a piercing out, but I realize that they are temporary things, that my body can choose to reject them whenever it wants to, and that one day, perhaps, I might choose to take the majority of them out or might have to. But a tattoo is a permanent thing, unless one goes through the pain and discomfort of a tattoo removal, so, a tattoo is not something I get very often. But I have friends, or rather vague acquaintances that used to be friends, who know I like body modification, so, when they ...

all started as a joke really, my Uncles and I were joking on how we were going to go out and get a tattoo together, Of course at this time it "was" a joke, but weeks and eventually a month later, I actually was beginning to think about it. I only just turned 17 at the time and like the look of a tribal design, basically ever since I saw Pamela Anderson's, bare Wire tattoo, I knew that's the kind of design I wanted. I finally asked me parents, about what they would think of me getting one, for real. ...
