i have a tattoo along on my wrist

it's based off anime shit. it's a rather minimalist design so most people wouldn't know from looking at it, but i kinda blushed when my artist asked me for the name of the series so he could look up pictures real quick to get a better point of reference.

i want to get even more eventually, but not entirely sure what

What series was it?

Homunculus?
 
I've been thinking about getting a tattoo on my arm for awhile now.

Problem is, I just started lifting a few months ago, and am trying to get big. If I get a tat on my skinny arm now, it'll probably stretch out and look retarded by the time I achieve my fitness goals. :\

Then I'd suggest you just hold off. Sometimes it's worth waiting for it.

I've got a couple of piercings I'm waiting to get as I want to get a breast reduction and I don't want to lose them. My piercings close up FAST so even if it was outpatient they'd be gone by the time I could get my jewelry back in.
 
Holy fuck, people are not exaggerating when they say rib tattoos hurt. *_*
 
My ears (since I was six), and I have a a small stud in my nose. I'd like to get a tattoo, probably on my right ankle. (My name is Kat, plus I absolutely adore Art Nouveau)

I've also considered getting one of those ear piercings that's supposed to help with migraines. Not for looks, but because migraines fucking suck.
 
I had a magnetic implant put into my finger so that I could feel electromagnetic fields and do a neat party trick with beer bottle tops. It works really well, but you look like a huge dork waving your hand around common every day objects trying to feel how big their magnetic field is.

Side effect is that I fucked up the compass in my phone and need to recalibrate it every other day.
 
I have an industrial piercing, 12 weeks with studs and had it changed to the bar a couple of days ago. The actual piercing and aftermath was fine, just a bit sore, but holy fuck buckets it hurts with the bar in. Anyone know if that's normal? It's swollen and throbs. Cleaning it three times a day etc.

Not my first cartilage piercing so a bit surprised by this unwelcomed development.

I had a bar in mine right from the start, and it fucking hurt for days. I've have like six other cartridge piercings and none of them were as bad as the industrial.
 
The one piercing I've ever considered that I thought would be kind of cool and useful is a piercing through the bridge of the nose to house a bar with magnetic attachments at both ends for prescription lenses.

Any opinions on that?

I think the idea is cool because any facial cartilage piercing is kind of intense, but it would be a real pain in the ass in the metal screenings in any federal courthouse. And actually getting the magnetically attachable separate left and right lenses done would probably be an expensive custom job.

I had an industrial done way back in 2008 and that was one of the most painful ones I had done. Worse than nipples. I had my industrial done with a barbell and definitely had to readjust during the healing period.

Is it maybe the angle of barbell? I know some piercers advise going with a barbell first in case something migrates a little and heals off center. I also know that mine was pretty tender for longer than any other piercing. I had some throbbing going on but not like "ear is going to explode" bad. Does it feel like open wound tearing pain or something else/

In the meantime I'd recommend cleaning it less unless it's something to stave off an infection which doesn't sound like the case here. I feel like that might be a little excessive but what helped out my angry piercings (especially cartilage ones) over the years was to soak the thing in warm sea salt water. Granted it's not the easiest area on your body but what I did was mix maybe a quarter to half teaspoon per cup of warm water. They're something I would do every night before my shower and they would help in calming down the site.

And if all else fails, maybe contact the shop for advice? I'm sure they've heard all of the questions before.

@AnOminous -- I've actually heard of that before. Can't remember if it happened but I can envision it. You'd need some pretty strong magnets unless you enjoyed accidentally popping off a lens every now and then. I think even more frustrating than going into a Federal Courthouse would be the practicality of the implants. Surface piercings have a higher rate of rejection as do some implants--things like silicone under the backs of your hand, dermal anchors, etc. Wherever there's a lot of muscle movement means more movement that irritates the implant. This can cause the body to reject it which is as pleasant as it sounds. There's a chance that it wouldn't heal properly should it heal and you'd run the risk of having to have it removed, which depending on where it is in the healing/rejection process, might need some fun scalpel action.

I usually just took a paper towel and soaked it in the saline solution I'd made. It's easier than trying to soak your ear in a container of water, for sure. Saved my life when I got my tragus piercing.

@Fresh Grown Breasts I had a lot of issues with my cartilage piercings, too, so I feel your pain. Mine eventually developed keloids and I had to give up on them, but mostly that was down to me being stupid and getting pierced somewhere that used a gun. I wish someone had told me how dangerous that is for cartilage piercings, I'd never have done it that way.
