Piercings Vs Tats

i prefer tattoos over piercings just because they can be so much more expressive of what you have expierenced throughout your life. piercings can be expressive aswell but just not to the same level. piercings only take a minute to do and can be removed but a tattoo takes time and the fact that it cant be lost is symbolic itself that you cant get anything done unless you make it happen

piercings. i have 10 piercings, and 1 tattoo. i love them all! piercings are definitely my thing! the tattoo is nice but it hurt so BAD! i wanted to cry so bad! i love piercings and i plan on getting more. but the tattoo. OMG NO! i cant! it was too much pain to ever go through again! i love to get piercings tho!

I have a few piercings (eyebrow and labret), and I do enjoy having them because I love expressing myself in artistic ways (what better than to make the body the canvas-but I believe that there is such a thing as too many .. for example.. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3162/2869157848_5316e7c9e5.jpg ...hehe. Plus, playing with the labret with my tongue 'is' a little addicting.. lol I don't think I have a strong personal preference for either, since haven't got around to getting a tattoo yet, but it's on my list of things to do. I definitely want one, but I want it to have meaning. I want to make sure that I get the right tat in the right place so I won't ever change my mind about it. But the 'look' of a piercing just appeals to me more visually-and it fits my eccentric personality. Tattoos are so common and less exciting to me. Piercings are nice because you can always remove them when you need or want to..although I don't agree with the policy of some work environments that don't allow piercings, or force you to remove them (or cover it with a band-aid as one place had me do with my eyebrow because I refused to remove it - yea, like THAT'S not noticeable lol.

I actually love both. I dont prefer anuyone because i have piercings and i am going to get a tattoo soo i dont really know what to say.

I like both. My piercings are more for my own vanity than anything, but the tattoo are symbolic of the people I love. The idea of using piercings or tattoos to make milestones is very fascinating.
