I have nothing at all except pierced ears. I am absolutely terrified of needles, so I wouldn't be doing that voluntarily!

I once had my Eye brow and tongue pierced, i found it very hard to eat food and kept biting it.

They say it's good for other things tho!

Well I have two tattooes which were done quite a few years ago.

The very first time I went diving I was lucky enough to see a Blue Spotted Lagoon Ray. Went home and thought, I fancy one of those on my thigh. The tattooist had never seen one so I trawled the net and gave him a picture. He made a brilliant job of it. As I can move every muscle independently, I can make him 'swim'!

I also have a Scorpion on my left shoulder.

No body piercing except for my ears.

I have no tattoos myself but my daughter got her 2 little boys names done in Arabic on her wrist...it looks nice :)

Semsema is it possible for you to upload a picture of your Blue Spotted Lagoon Ray...its sounds really unusual.

BTW I'm a new member here also & see you have the same avatar as myself but I'm not able to upload it yet.

Which part of Scotland are you from ?? I'm from the N.E

Hi,

If you look in the album under Marine Life in the Red Sea you will find I have posted a blue spotted ray there.

I have seen some more amaing varying types of ray's but as luck usually goes, its when you leave the camera behind.

Don't do tats or piercings. I have seen some fab tats on people but I just think what will they look like when they are wrinkly old grannies and grandads :lol: My ears are pierced but haven't worn anything in them for years as I have an allergixc reaction every time I put something in, even gold, so it's just not worth it.

I have my ears pierced twice, but only ever wear one pair and my nose pierced.
I am considering having a tattoo. I had a couple of beautiful henna ones done recently in Zanzibar and really loved them, I'm starting a henna course next week, will try a few designs out before taking the permanent plunge.:)

You are absolutely right CC. I never had any tats and piercings are a more recent fad......don't really like either......something small and tasteful on a pretty girls shoulder or thigh is OK.

If I had Semsemas ray somwhere it would be a kipper by now :)))
:gg:

My ears are done three times - my Egyptian neice has recently become fixated by them - so I suppose she'll be going from one to three pretty soon!

Like Crazycat - I used to have real allergy proplems. They used to swell up get infected - turn black etc. I tried everything too - including gold - and all created the same problem. The only kind of earring I can wear is sterling solid silver. Have no problems with those at all. Even the earrings that were supposed to be for sensitive ears used to make the same problem.

Got no tattoos though - don't think I could stand the pain.

I have two tattoos; one off babs bunny on my shoulder (don't ask why, I was young and stupid) and my husbands name in arabic on my back with a heart. After visiting Tunisia two years ago I fell in love with the arabic writing, so went home and looked it up on the internet, did the translation, printed it out and got it tattooed on my back. Only problem is its back to front :oops:

This would have been ok, only we decided to move to an arabic country but it causes great amusement for the locals.

Mine at least is on my back but my husbands is down his leg :lol:

Goddess I also had to have sterling silver when I had my ears pierced. I told them I was allergic to gold (it goes black on me) & they said "This won't, come back & we'll change them for pure silver instead if necessary, but it won't be :) " Next day they changed them for pure silver :roll: & said they had never seen a reaction like that before.
However the good news was that after a while I discovered stainless steel posts & was fine with them as well :D

Just a close up of your tattoo will do, dont worry about the cellulite, I'm sure most of us can relate to it :roll:
