I don't even dare say what I'm thinking (a very rare occasion)

I'll chime in with the earlier comment about pregnancy.

I'm a midwife, in practice for 14 years. Over the past 8 years or so, I've seen lots of pregnant bellies with a scar like this: ( then the belly button, and another scar, like this: ) The scars are sometimes an inch apart. I'm not sure, cuz I don't ask, at what point the women had to take out the piercing. But it's clearly much bigger than when they started!

I'm in the "better a piercing than a tatoo" camp. My right ear has three holes in it, from back in the 80s (only one hole in the left ear). Now I wish I didn't have those two extra holes, but they're not all that noticeable. I definitely don't want art on my body that I can't change! But that's me...

Keep us posted!

Lise - even a *bike* tattoo?

(I'm thinking about a chain-ring tat on my right calf. I get chain ring marks all the time anyway, might as well make it permanent!)

Ewwww, stretched out belly-button piercings! Not something I ever really thought about. (now, saggy nipple piercings I've considered. Perhaps there is a lower age limit to navel piercings, and an upper age limit to nipple piercings... not that I've ever thought of getting either, oh no, not me, uh-nuh. )

Yeah, babe, even a bike tatoo! I am too changeable!

Plus which, I routinely give myself my own chain ring tatoos! Also tire print tatoos--I rode the Bianchi yesterday , and had a total blank spot in which I unclipped right and leaned left. I managed to unclip left in a hurry, but somehow got grease and tire prints all over both calves! (Sorry for the brief thread hijack, SilverFamily)

But then you've got some handy hardware to attach a support to... just run a line from boob to boob around the back of your neck like a halter top.


I swear I'm not stalking your posts tonight.

I've also seen some pretty funky looking stretched-out navel tatoos. I see fewer of those these days, and a lot more stretched out piercing scars. Hmmm, what will be the next fascinating fashion trend that gets all distorted when you get preggers?!?

"NO!!!" **slams door**

**trying not to grin** The next time you slam a door on me young lady, I will remove the hinges AND the door (I can't wait to use this on my son - and I will take the door off...)

Or my new strategy, if you tell us what you were doing there, Knot will share one of her secrets Bwaaaa

[Mr. Bloom]

I will remove the hinges AND the door (I can't wait to use this on my son - and I will take the door off...)

One time I did this to SilverDaughter...she was grounded to her room, no phone, no Computer, NO DOOR. Taking the door off the hinges was the best punishment I could do!

I'm taking SilverDaughter for her new piercing tonight

well here is my story. My parents wouldn't let me get my ears peirced till I was 18 so one summer in the Bahamas I got my cartilage pierced at age 15 (you don't need consent there) I got my Belly peirced at 18 and I got a tattoo. I regreted the tat soon after getting it, and took the peircing out a year later. Now 5 years later the belly piercing still hasn't scarred or closed up. I can still put things through it, allthough I've only tried once recently. I know this all doesn't have a point but for some reason I just had to post.
