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?
