Body Mods

I love body modifications and have done for a very long time.

I have always wanted tattoos and although I only have 4 at the moment I have plenty more planned. 

So far I have;

Infinity symbol on left wrist

I had this done on a whim but it is something I wanted tattooed on me for a while I just hadn't planned to get it done on that day and by that artist. On a scale of 1 - 10 for pain I would give it a 5 as it hurt but wasn't the worst. I had a rough time healing this one too, took around 4 months as it just refused to settle down. I believe I had a reaction to the pink in (most people are allergic to colours made up of red). 

"Breath" on left forearm

 I love the placement of this one, it does need a bit of a touch up but it'll do for now. On a scale of 1 - 10 I would say 5 again. Again was a bit annoying to heal and took longer than I would have liked but I think that's down to placement, being in a high movement area and all. This just reminds me on bad days that everything will be ok and to just breathe through it. 

Dandelion and birds on right shoulder blade and neck

This tattoo has a very sentimental meaning to me, to do with family and being free. On a scale of 1 - 10 for pain I would rate this one a 7, mainly because of the birds on my neck, they hurt and burned like a bitch. I do adore this tattoo and it's exactly how I wanted it. It also healed beautifully and was no bother at all. I know this design is not unique but I have loved it since the day I saw it and still do. 

Bird in a cameo with a pocket watch on left thigh

This one shares joint favorite with my dandelion. I had this done on my birthday (14th Jan) as a present to myself and also because when I saw the design on the artists Facebook page I instantly fell in love and had to have it. This took 3 hours (1 sitting) and towards the end it was definitely a 10/10 on pain. Healed beautifully again, was a little awkward due to placement when it came to wearing clothes but I managed. I am planning on having the same design done on my other thigh but with a cat in the cameo and a compass in place of the pocket watch.

I also have 3 piercings;

Left nostril pain level 8/10

Septum pain level 7/10

Right side pain level labret 2/10 (had this one done twice now)

Ear lobes pain level 7/10 but I was really young and had a bad experience with a piercing gun. 

Other piercings I have had are tongue, middle labret, left side labret, medusa, naval.

I don't think I will get any more piercings but I have many more tattoos planned and I have plenty of skin to cover ;)

Do any of you have piercings/tattoos?
