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 currently have two tattoos, both white ink, on my forearms. On the right is a line going down the center made to look like a scar, acquired on the day my divorce was finalized as a reminder not to walk down certain paths again. The left I got 1.5 years later, an infinity symbol just under the crook of the elbow, sort of a wedding ring to myself -- a reminder to keep my needs and goals first in the forefront of my awareness and energy expenditure, when I'm taken care of I have a lot more to give others. I got them at a time when I didn't know what sort of job I'd be getting next, so got them in white because I needed the tattoos to be in a place where I would see them all the time, but wouldn't necessarily draw the notice of other people.
