One is a shamrock and the other is a celtic design that I believe means 'mothers love' although the ironic thing is, is that I had it done just before i fell pregnant, I had no children at the time.

Mine is a dragon eating it's tail, it symbolizes eternal spirit or undying spirit. The idea is your body may die, but your spirit is eternal. It's also known as 'the circle of life'.

Really? I am so envious, I had piano lessons when at school, and can play 'fur elise' but that is all, I always wanted to play well. Do you have one?

VB - That sounds really nice, to be honest I forget i have them, I used to regret them because i would want to wear a dress and not show them, and they are visable, but hey ho.
I nearly had more, I wanted one of two peacocks accross the bottom of my back, and i wanted one on my ankle at one time too.
Smuckers - Someone leant me a piano once, I had it for about 6 months, now I definately drove the neighbours mad!, 'fur elise' over and over AND OVER again! poor things
VB - Is that like a proper harp? thats unusual isnt it?

owwwww silly me, I know what you mean, when they cover it with their hands and flap them about. I had visions of you with your tattoos sitting at a harp gently plucking away a delicate tune!

Good decision.
I once had my left nipple pierced, due to a girl I was dating at the time that had a huge nipple fetish. She begged, and paid for me to get it done so I did it, although I'm not a fan of body piercings.
A year later, I got in a fight and the damn thing was ripped out when the guy grabbed the front of my shirt.
Luckily, it healed clean without leaving a scar, but I've heard of similar incidents where huge scars were left, or the wound would take forever to heal.
You just don't know how your body will react to being pierced sometimes. If you develop keloid or infections easily then I definitely would advise against getting any piercings...or even tatoos.
The risk of complications is too great, although tatoos are far safer IMO.
As for tatoos, I have two. A big tribal on my right upper arm, and a smaller tribal on my right forearm.

VB, you know some guys get their Johnnys pierced? You might wanna consider that!
Alistair, OUCH!!!!, that's all what I can say to you. Thankfully it healed without a scar.

You see I always thought the opposite way. I don't like tattoos, I hate peer pressure and frankly speaking when I picture myself as a grandmother the last thing what I want to think of is being a tattoed one! I guess I just like the 'traditional' look! Posts: 30135 | From: The owner of this website killed ES....... | Registered: Feb 2004

I love to jump down flights of stairs. It’s actually part of urban sports now but my love for jumping flights of stairs started when I was a kid as I used to always jump from the top of our garage an onto the garden. And also playing manhunt as a kid – where we would run wild throughout the neighborhood, climbing fences and jumping stairs also.

Ouch.
Nipple piercings are so not cool IMO.
Belly piercing on girls looks hot tho.
A friend of mine had his tongue pierced and regretted it later because he swallowed like 3 pints of blood, took forever to heal. Yuk.

I always heard that tongue piercings were a bad ideal orally, that bacteria really gets trapped down in the incision between the tongue and the metal - talk about halitosis. Posts: 13440 | Registered: Feb 2006

No smucks thats not true,lol. I've had my tongue pierced for years and I've never had a problem with halitosis. I never lost blood either so I think it depends on who does the piercing and how much expirience they have. I have my nose and belly done to and never had a problem with those either but my piercer used free hand piercing, no clamps.
I have one tattoo on my right shoulder, a purple rose on a stem intertwined with tribal art. My sweetheart is designing one for my lower back. I have no regrets and I think body art can be beautiful and meaningful, especially when you get it done by a gifted artist..

I just returned home after a holiday where there were many American and English tourists. I noticed a lot of tattoo-ed men and women there. Don`t know how they look at it in the US/GB, but in my country it still is low class, and piercings are not hot anymore, that time is gone. I noticed a lot of being expressly present, with other words, in a group they were very noisy and tumultuous, AND...they drunk a lot. The more alcohol, the more noise, of course. So, I don`t know this was the lower class of American society, but it was a great lot of difference between the Europeans and the GB/US.

I think it depends on the tattoo to be honest, they can look cheap and nasty but as has been said already if they are done well and are away from the norm, they can be lovely. I have to be honest I would have never have got mine if my mum was still alive she would have been appalled!I think they are a lot more acceptable now.

Tigerlilly - Just to clear something up, I WAS joking that I wanted to fit in the nursing home, I cant say Biddie peer pressure was on my mind at all
I dont think my body likes piercings - I had a second one in my ear years ago, it didnt like that, it closed up, then about 8 years ago i had my nose done, my nose just swelled up so i took that out before i lloked like Frank Bruno, then I had my belly button done, but when you lie on your tummy in bed and pull yourself up it catches on the sheets - not much fun! so i took that out!
I am over my inflicting pain stage now! lol
Sei - jumping stairs? do you mean whole flights of stairs or just one or two?
The only thing that I ever collected was beer mats! when I was a child - I spent a lot of time in pubs...lol
I did collect these little tiny beanie things when i was really small, they were in match boxes and had faces like rabbits or bears, i think some were called 'sweet william' can anyone remember?

Indoors e.g. building stairways I could do 8 - 12 steps the limiting factor is because it is a spot jump and there is no way to build up speed and momentum. Outdoors is the challenge and it varies … mood, distance/space until the 1st step - 20+ meters is ideal to run full speed before a jump, also what I’m wearing e.g. shoes/kicks … shirt/sweater because scrapes are inevitable sometimes … but I could jump and I could run and if I see something enticing I might very well ask you to please hold my bag as I jump that flight of stairs Posts: 2079 | From: 'by any means necessary' - Malcom X | Registered: Mar 2007

That sounds pretty difficult, as Of_gold said, up or down? You could really do some damage jumping so many stairs! I watched a programme the other day about Tibetan Monks, they were going down the stairs on their hands and feet - head first, why dont you try that? It looks hard though Posts: 644 | Registered: Jul 2007

You got to give it to the monks they’re trying real hard to keep themselves busy waiting for the Dalai Lamai. But there is no adrenaline rush in that at all. And I’d don’t think I would feel any satisfaction from doing that. Jumping stairs can be a little dangerous and I’ve been hurt a few times but if the showoff element is eliminated then the danger of over doing it or trying to do something that might hurt you is eliminated. The thrill is jumping down and not jumping up. I’m sure we all hop several stairs going up but there's no pleasure in that - maybe a little bit. Jumping up stairs is very limiting and there is no goal. When you jump down a flight of stairs there is a goal - from point A to Point B. And stairs also vary a lot, some are short steps and some a long – some have obstructions and some like the ones outdoors don’t have walls hence you could use the open pavement to break your fall which in this case is necessary because you used speed for such a jump.
Next time you see a flight of stairs count 8 steps and you’ll see it is not that much – with each step after that then it becomes a little challenging. So try it out for fun – count 4 steps and jump. I’m sure you could do that.
Naturally don’t do it with high heels or with a nice outfit on – but put on a pair of sweats and put on your sneakers and do it Then go for 5 steps and so on. Once you are comfortable, do the same outdoors where you won’t have a wall to obstruct your landing. Do this with the same amount of steps (4) but of course this time you have space to run before you make your leap. See how far you land from the last step – this should give you an estimation of how many steps you could jump.
