I have one small tattoo on my shoulder that's scarred pretty badly and now I'm wondering if I had an allergic reaction like @For The Internet, albeit a mild one.
At one time I had 17 piercings altogether, but I've taken most of them out. I have 7/16g plugs, one set of regular earlobe piercings, and a tragus piercing. I really want a vertical labret and to get my septum redone but I'm holding off until I get some other stuff taken care of first. I'd rather not go through the trouble of getting them done and healing and everything, only to lose them if I have to have another back surgery. Or if I get that breast reduction I've been dreaming of since I was 14.

I've been contemplating to get me some discrete tattoos, but haven't decided, what tattoo and where.

I've wanted an upper ear cartilage piercing for ages and I got one about 6 months ago. It's still quite painful to sleep on to varying degrees and I feel like it's not going to heal. Before I got it I read that sometimes piercings high up on your ear fail to heal because there's so little blood supply. I know cart piercings can take 6 months to a year to heal 100% but I feel that at this stage there shouldn't be anything more than slight tenderness if I sleep directly on it.
I'm not sure what to do about it. What I THINK I should do is get a titanium piece (not sure if a ring or a stud would be more beneficial) and put that in and see if there's any improvement. I thought about treating it with salt water like you do with a new piercing, but there's no infection or discharge so I'm not sure that it would do anything.
Any ideas?

Keloids generally only form when the piercing becomes infected, so as long as you keep your piercings nice and clean they shouldn't be a problem.
I know a tonne of people who've gotten their ears pierced when they were older and they've never had a problem with it.

Switching to titanium is a good idea if you currently have jewelry in that's not implant grade, like sterling silver. Studs can also pinch on the ear and cause pain when healing, and not allow enough room for swelling.
I would ask your piercer what they think before doing anything though. For some it just takes longer to heal cartilage.

I've had a labret, tongue, and nose piercings (ears too, but those don't count). The labret I took out because it was irritating my gums, the tongue I took out because it was a hassle most of the time, and the nose actually rejected (tried two separate time on both sides, never would take). I have four tattoos, one on the top of each of my feet, one on my left wrist, and one unfinished one on my back that I'm planning a cover-up for.
The only ones that truly caused me pain were the feet ones. I have pretty much nothing on top of my feet fat or muscle wise, so they ended up hurting like a bitch. I couldn't talk to the tattoo artist or try to play my 3DS or anything at all, just grip my legs and clench my teeth for three hours (They are essentially mirrors of each other, so they had to be done in one sitting).
I would get a ring and go ahead with the salt water cleaning, I had a similar problem with one of my ears over the years as a kid, and that combination finally fixed it for me.

Getting a better piece of jewelry is always a good idea. What kind of jewelry are you currently wearing, though? It might just be too small. I had major issues with my cartilage piercings until I switched to larger-diameter rings.

Just a standard stud. I tried to switch to a ring about 3 months after the piercing but it was still a bit swollen and my 14ga ones didn't go in properly. I'll definitely get some titanium jewellery and work with some salt water and see if that helps.

Try 16g first, so it's not such a big difference and you'll have an easier time getting it in; going from a standard earring to 14g is fairly easy in your earlobe, but it'll hurt a lot more in your cartilage and the piercing is already irritated. And you'll want at least 5/16 in diameter, whether it's a bead capture ring or a circular barbell, to prevent excess pressure on the piercing.
Eventually you may be able to wear cartilage studs, which I would 100% recommend over regular earrings, but I would stick to rings for now, until you're fully healed.

Thanks so much for the advice, I'll definitely follow it.

I have an industrial, rook, and two conches. I used to have two lip rings, a septum ring, and my bridge pierced. I used to have my lobes stretched to an inch and half. I really regret doing that, because now my earlobes look like floppy vaginas. My big graduation gift is that my dad is going to pay to have them fixed. 
He loves to pull the 'I told you so' card every time he sees my dumbo ears. I'm getting my tragus (traguses?) done in a few weeks. Going to suck wearing my huge headphones, but it's super cute so it's worth it.
As far as tattoos, I've wanted one for like 15 years, but I'm so indecisive. I've thought about getting a few small ones, but I really don't like little tattoos. About a year ago I settled on this surrounded by the very geometric flowers that the artist I want (Katie McGowan) does so well. I'm planning on my inner forearm, as big as she can make it. My sister loved the jackalope, so she's going to get it done too. We're best friends, and we've always wanted to get sister tattoos. It just worked out really well
Hopefully this will happen this May, fingers crossed.

I really would like to get Yakuza like tattoos (in the sense of covering a large amount of my body but being completely coverable, not in style) but I don't know what theme I would want and I really want to be sure about it before I commit to it so I have no tattoos right now

I recently got my conch pierced, helix pierced, and got my lobes pierced at 8g. I plan on stretching those lobe pierces up to 0g and repiercing my second lobe pierces at 8g. Getting my nips re-pierced this weekend, and I also plan on getting my philtrum redone soon, and possibly a vertical labret. (I also want to get a conch piercing in my other ear and maybe a couple new helix pierces. I'm also toying with the idea of some other piercings, but who knows.)
I also have a tattoo appointment on the 13th that I'm super pumped for.

I would like to get tattoos but I am afraid because I have Bacne and don't want to get scars on them and I am afraid of getting bad ones

i have a tattoo
i want to get even more eventually, but not entirely sure what
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.
