No tattoos yet, I'm having a little bit of commitment issues in that area. Someday, though. Sooner rather than later.
But piercings! I have my earlobes twice, and then the upper cartilage on the right side. My two favorites would be my navel and my inner helix on my ear. That one is definitely unique- as far as I know, I've never seen it on anyone else. I love it!
(This one is a random google one that was just done- I swear mine doesn't look as bad or red!)
I prefer piercings over tattoos just because they aren't so permanent. When I'm working in hospitals I know I can take them out if I need to. If I got another one it would be my nose, I think. Although I don't think I could just because I'll be in a hospital (Brigham & Womens in Boston!) this semester, and I'd have to take it out. Otherwise I'd be all over that.
From a Moms point view, forget the tattoo! It is forever because the removal is very expensive and painful. Also, have you ever seen a tattoo on an old person? How did it look? You are so young now with such beautiful young skin, but aging is inevitable.
ReplyDeleteGood to think twice about the piercings due to your chosen profession.
