At some point I want to get the skull with bat wings across my back...

as many times as ive stabbed myself willingly with many sharp objects, I think I can handle a small rapidly shooting needle... at the very least its like taking a diabetic test all over your body.

I've tried tattooing myself (as in, tracing with a needle and then rubbing ink into the open wound), but er, that didn't work out too well. I still have the scars but it didn't retain any of the colour after a while.

As for piercings, I have just five so far (two generic ones on the ear lobes, both nostrils and septum). I got my left eyebrow pierced a couple of years ago but after a month or so it rotted and fell out (I still have the scar), and I haven't done anything since. I do however plan on getting half a dozen more or so around my facial area alone. I also want three surface piercings on my chest -- something like this.

i had peircings when i was 16, if i remember i peirced my tongue, ear's, and eye brow. i got out of it when a few guys at my school said they were going to rip them out after class and beat the shit out me. well i took the beating, i just removed the peircings before hand. so after that, i figured it was to much of a risk running around with fish hooks.

That pic looks painful. Forget that.

You have clearly never seen the BME website.

And I don't plan to...

Oh, Samantha -- do you have purple/pink hair ?

I gotta agree that looks like it would hurt. Personally I'm not a fan of any needles that come nearmy chest or my face because those areas are important.

Well, of course it would hurt; that's partially the point. When my eyebrow rotted, I had a huge disgusting gaping hole in the side of my head for ages afterwards, and before the bar fell out completely I had to hold the skin together using scotch tape. =| So imagine what could happen to, er, certain other parts of the body.

Personally I dont mind pain but I don't really seek it. I'd do somethings that involve pain but I'd try to minimalize the pain. That just seems like more pain than is worth it.
