So...I am getting inked with a brand new tattoo this Friday...I am like a kid waiting for Christmas lol....my back piece will be finished! Anyways I thought this would be a novel time to get everyones opinions on body art. Do you think its sexy? Why or why not? Does it turn you off or on? What kind of body art appeals to you? Tattoos, Piercings, Brands? Let us know!

I like it all. I am loaded with tats and have both nipples pierced. My wife however only has her ears pierced and no tattoos. She says I have enough for the both of us. They are rather addicting.

I only have one tattoo right now, which is a nine inch cheetah (my power animal) on my left thigh. I have several more planned: a belly dancing rat (I'm a belly dancer and I love rats), the Chinese symbol for rat (I was born in the Year of the Rat), a unicorn (I love unicorns), the White Horse of Uffington (to symbolize Rhiannon, one of my patron Goddesses), Brighid's Cross (another one of my patron Goddesses) and the BDSM emblem. The belly dancing rat and the rat symbol are going one on each arm and the unicorn is going on my right thiigh. The White Horse is going on my back between my shoulder blades. I'm not sure where the Brighid's Cross and the BDSM emblem are going.


As for piercings, I only have my ears pierced. What I really love are the back piercings with the ribbons that look like corsets on the back. That is just the coolest look and I would really like to have one of those. Now, whether I'd ever get up the courage to actually do something like that is another story!


I love body art myself. I have a BA in anthropology, so I have seen some wonderful body art that people have used on themselves: scarifications and brandings as well as tattoos and piercings, and other forms of body art as well. It's always fascinated me how many different ways people can decorate themselves.

When it comes to body art, for me at least, less is more.

I would agree that tats are addicting...I only have two right now, but have a couple more ideas that I will have inked in the, hopefully, near future!

I don't mind the long drawn out answer :)


I agree with your statement that on some people body art can look great and on others not so much. Those of us who are tattooed to the extent that DH and I are could definatly be considered a different breed. To us, it is a legitimate art form. Theres a quote that goes

Yes Ma'am!!! Tomorrow is the day!!! I am so exctied I can hardly stand it lol....


I hate your DH got upset about your tatt...I don't really understand why, I mean it's your body. DH and I don't veen tell each other what we're going to get befopre we get inked. He knows where its going and how big it'll be but thats it. My mother freaked when I got ym first tatt, she things I'm descrating the body god gave me, the way I see it, I'm decorating it in the same manner as my ancestors and I'm proud of that.


As for a tongue piercing on a man ~gets hot and sweaty~ oh dear lord honey....you have no idea.....~wicked grin~
