I like it.
Just wouldn't have it on myself.

Bring me my monocle. I want to look rich.

And I am getting my next tattoo on Friday!

I have been seeing a lot of utterly cliche tattoos lately, and it bothers me slightly. Why get something that hollow inked on you? I'm referring to the barbed wire round the bicep, or japanese calligraphy, or illegible shit written in those olde english letters, or nautical stars, or people who get animals and claim it's something to do with where they were raised... There's no individuality, no meaning in it, and don't understand why people do it. The only reason I got my tattoo work done at all was because it meant something to me, and it reminds of something I want to forget but also know I shouldn't. Ever.

That said, nose piercings. I need some opinions. I've got two rings in the left side of mine, and was thinking about getting another one in the right, but does that actually look good or what? I'd say it does, but I think I'm biased on the issue. Need some outside perspective.

The Polito form is dead, insect.

But I don't like nose piercings...

And I agree with you on the tattoo part. Expect that sometimes the symbols or whatever do have meaning to the person. Like, if they are Japanese for example, having Japanese writing on them makes perfect sense.

And it's never because the words meaning anything, it's just for the look. No one gets "love" and "prosperity" and so on tattooed on them in English, but as soon as it's translated into kanji or whatever it becomes cool.

I don't like when people go pick a symbol without research. And then it ends up meaning something else. Pick symbols because they actually have meaning to you and make sure you know the correct translation.

I mean...it is just hard to judge how much meaning a tattoo has to a person if you don't know why they are getting it.

I hate meaningless tattoos. But I don't think you can assume all symbol tattoos are meaningless to their owners.

I bet at least half of them, if asked, couldn't give a single good reason why they got it inked.

I had a friend in highschool who got the Japanese symbol for daughter on her because her mom died. But many people would assume she was just a stupid teen picking a random symbol.

I dunno, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt.

If she wanted to memorialise her mother, why do it in Japanese? Are either of them from Japan?

I would like to get one (now if I could, trust me) that has to do with what I'm into, people in my life, beliefs, my depression, etc.

These include some I like:

- http://i17.tinypic.com/4lzayq9.jpg (perhaps without the bible verse under it;haven't decided yet where)
- A H.I.M. sign perhaps on one of my fingers like Kat Von D has, or on my wrist
- Stars or a lightning bolt on my hip
- http://i14.tinypic.com/2zhpi7p.jpg (maybe along my hand / arm)

The only piercings I have is two ear lobe ones, and one of my cartiledges. I would like to get my nose and possibly my lip and navel pierced. I don't care much for radical piercings.

How painful is getting your nose (side;stud) , lip (center;ring) , and navel pierced? What would be the age restrictions on them?

Did you ever see that one person?
& the subtle way that they do these things and it hurts so much?
So much like choking down the embers of a great blaze
It's that moment when your eyes seem to spread aspersions
