We understand that you don't like tatoo, and for you they are a waste of money, time and life. But they are valuable to us, more so than most of the things you value yourself perhaps. You could quote some of the things you spend money on and I could argue "hey I'd rather spend money on tatoos than on this". This is once again totally subjective sir.
Kissing and geting BJ from a girl with pierced tongue was a very good and fun experience.Other than that i am like most people here tatoos generaly ok, piercing ok if done with moderation. Scaryfication-hell no.
1. Piercing: The only thing I've ever wanted to pierce are my ears. 2. Tattoos: I'm a very indecisive person and I would have to think really hard about getting one but to be honest I think a paintless body suits me better. 3. Stretching/Gouging: Doesn't appeal me. 4. Dermal Implanting: Just why? I think this looks uncomfortable as fuck but whatever to each his own. 5. Scarification: I personally feel like this is some kind of fake art. I can't really explain it but that's just how I feel about it.

Eh didn't like it too much tbh, metal on dick felt weird. Looks kinda trashy too, not sure why.
Stretching and dermal implanting makes me cringe more than scarification.
I wonder what kind of mental state a person should be in to do that to himself and what causes that state. Childhood trauma? Or is it just the ultimate form of attention whoring? Maybe he just loves the way it looks so much that he has to do it? Wtf.
Anyway im having a hard time convincing myself that someone who is "normal" (for lack of better word) would do this to himself.
i didn't expect the subject not being touched yet on such a vast comunity like TL! I have the inner side of my left upper arm tattooed and my front right thigh tattooed. even if i usually wear t-shirts 24/7, i don't think that more than 30 people that i know are aware of the first one, and i had it for 3 years. i got them done for myself, not for them being shown to random ones. Had earrings for a couple of years, then moved to a 1 cm gauge with one of the holes, got bored in half a year. now you barely notice the cut. Finally, both nipple pierced. it's been 3 years since i got them done, haven't had the slightest regret up to now, i'll take them down then i'll get bored of them too.
I never had any problem with the idea of changing your body. i can accept most of the things i see done, even if i wouldn't have them on my skin - whether it be because i don't like them, because it's too painful, etc.

I don't think it is being done except in the "this is what I look for in a partner" sense and the vast majority of posters are heterosexual males.
At least I didn't see any "if she has a tattoo, she's a slut, but if he has a tattoo, he's a cool guy" posts or anything ridiculous like that.
I prefer battle scars myself. You know getting in street fights, skate boarding accidents, sports accidents etc.
You know marks on your body you can actually be proud of, because you got them doing something passionate.
The whole concept of altering your body for some kind of identity to show the world, is a bit to shallow in my opinion.
Scars tell a story. Paint jobs or piercings are kinda forced, and usually lead to people misunderstanding what you're about. Or maybe it's a mask or something.
I have a scar very close to my left eye for example. Looks badass, in my opinion.
Too bad so many people are so ignorant and offensive to people with tat's in here. I myself don't have any, but that's because of the fact that i think to myself i'd need a good reason (big thing in my life) which means a lot to me and dedicate a tat to that. But wtf how can people call other people stupid for having tattoos or generalizing in any way What the f. Then say see you are stupid cause u react like a kid. Stop the fkin abusive kid comments allready hahaha. By the way OP your first tat is AMAZING dude!
Strangely i'm not against the idea of scarification. It's a permanent tattoo that hurts more and that's all. Maybe i'm masochistic but the harder something is the more rewarding it is. If one day I visit one of these tribes that practice scarification, I will try to make them do one to me.
Piercing and stretching and dermal implanting seem weirder to me. You had something exterior to yourself and rly change ur body. I'm okay with earrings but not rly with other things.
I'm not a huge fan of tattoos generally, but there are cases where it can be done well (like those tastefully located and in memory of a loved one/major event/etc).
The thing that makes no sense to me, and I've heard a number of responses that make equally little sense, are those who say they want a tattoo, but don't know what they want or why they want it. There are certainly cases of "I want a tattoo to commemorate <x> but I'm not certain what it's going to be yet," but also a lot of "just doing it because I can/people think it's cool/whatever else."
Perhaps some of you have insights into it. It just strikes me odd that a (semi) permanent modification often is entered into lightly and without any real justification.

I can agree with that sentiment, though I've got an old scar from a gunshot wound that I don't particularly like...guess it at least makes for a good story from time to time.

Honestly kissing felt kinda weirder, with metal hittting my teeth.
I got a womanizer scar over my left eye from backl when 3 guys tried to rob me :D... Getting one on purpose? Hell no.
Tattoos... I'm totally ok with it, i don't have one myself but thats mostly because i just can't decide on what kind i could/would get. Tribals and most of all SCORPIONS make me actually judge people, it's like a "retard stamp" (+Stars which just shout "fashion victim" at me)... not everyone with one is a retard, but the chances go up the more of these a guy (or girl) has .
Piercing: Guy --> Ears and yeah, thats pretty much it. Girls --> Ears, Nose, Lips (but just ONE and not Nose+Lips+Whatever)... In general i like piercings as long as they are done in moderation...
I find it very strange that the validity of other people's strictly personal choices are apparently up for evaluation in this thread. Some shockingly judgemental people in here.
Personally I am not very interested in any of this, but for the sake of balance I will say that I find women with alot of proper body art VERY appealing for some reason. Some cutesy little tattoo I could take or leave.

How you present yourself to the outside world is hardly a strictly personal choice, your appearance represents you to the outside world, how you look is all that most of the "outside world" will ever know about you... Calling this a strictly personal choice seems really damn naive to me.

Wait. You're telling me that how I want to be viewed by others is not my personal choice..?
