My friend twoofdtm posted about one of her piercings, which got me to thinking.

I have two ear piercings, but I cannot contemplate getting anything more. Also, I am very averse to acquiring a tattoo. I think my feelings toward both of these are related, but it's visceral so it's hard for me to give a logical reason why I feel the way I do.

Do you have piercings or tattoos? If so, how many? Either way, what would drive you to get them or to stay away?

I got my first (and only) tattoo the first weekend I was living on my own after my first husband and I split up. It's an 8 pointed star on my left shoulder, and its easily hidden if I want it to be.

I have never had any desire to have any other tattoo, that one was just very meaningful to me that I "marked" myself when I became my own again after a terrible marriage.

I had some ear cartilage piercings but they didn't heal after a year and I gave up and took them out. I occasionally consider doing them again.
