I'm definitely more of a tattoo person than a piercing person, but I do have 2, besides the regular ear piercings. I have my tongue and my belly button... NEVER AGAIN! NO MORE PIERCINGS!! ugh... both experiences were horrible! My tongue took WEEKS to heal. I lost so much weight cuz all i could eat were popsicles and ramen as long as I didn't try to chew it. It was terrible!! And my belly button... I got my gecko tattoo on my pelvis and my belly pierced within 5 minutes of each other. The piercing went fine, but when he went to put the jewelery through, it got stuck and he had to force it through... I had blood coursing down my stomach, I was holding my then-gf's hand, with HUGE crocodile tears rolling down my face. I was miserable for months! It was only last year that I was able to change the jewelery cuz I was chicken.

I think i'll stick to tattoos, thank you.
