Have you ever gotten a tattoo or piercing on a whim?

This is how I got my tongue pierced, one day I randomly decided I wanted it, and the next thing you know, I was at a shop having a big needle stuck through my tongue (didn't hurt TOO bad though!). I thought of this discussion because my sis randomly just texted me, "Feel like getting something pierced or a tattoo tonight?" I asked, "What do I have left to pierce? Hardly anything lol". And I'm a little afraid of getting a tattoo (plus I'm not sure on what I want yet..) Have you ever woke up one morning, and said 'I'm going to get a piercing/tattoo today'?

Back in university I had an ear pierced. Being the rage back then, I think I did it on a whim. Back then I used to sit on an Alumni Board for my fraternity as a resident representative. I remember feeling rebellious having a ring on my ears while I sat with stuffy old men deciding on serious matters.

I've woken up several times and said I'm going to get some weird tattoo, but never have. I've gotten two tattoos, one on my left and right shoulder, and I carefully planned those out. Getting a piercing on a whim is not as bad as getting a tattoo, because for a piercing you can always just take it out and the wound will heal up just fine, but with tattoos they are permanent unless you get them removed via laser, but that is expensive and the outline of the tattoo is still always there. If you are going to get a tattoo if you already haven't had one, then you should plan it out. You don't want to regret the tattoo later.
