Body mods are definitely addictive. Just over a year ago I only had my two lobe piercings, and a rose tattoo. Now, I've added a helix, nostril, tragus, and conch piercing, and a tattoo on my right side/rib cage. I think in a month or two I want to get a daith piercing on my right ear, maybe third lobe piercings, and really really soon I'm to get that world map tattoo that I've been wanting for awhile now.
I feel like my street cred gets a few points :P
I also have to thank my friend Alexis for exposing me to body mods and things, not that I wasn't before, but when I was able to be friends with someone who's really into it, I definitely got more into it. Yay friends! :) She's super rad.
Anyway. I love body mods now. I also like looking at tribal tattoos too, and old vintage ones from Europe and the US (particularly the US Navy).
If I can come up with a good theme, I would do one sleeve of tattoos. I never was really a fan of them, but if they're done right, I think they're fantastic. So far I'm thinking it'd be a water-y theme, or some sort of vintage style, like roses and other old tattoo symbols.
I definitely have a list of tattoos I still want to get, and a lot of them are visible so I'd have to wait until I don't live with my parents anymore. Part of me is kind of curious as to what would happen if I just started getting the visible ones. Would they make me laser it off? Would they never talk to me? Would they disown me? I have no idea anymore. Maybe 5 years ago they would have never allowed me to have the piercings I have. Especially my mom. Now I have a very obvious nose ring. The ear piercings I feel are more "acceptable", since they can be easily hidden with hair, and they're not on the front of the face.
If I don't move out in a year or so, I think I will just go ahead and start with my visible tattoos. What can they do, really?
Ahh my crazy thoughts and plans.
Hope things are well with you :)
