I think I've built up enough body modifications that I can have a page just for them. So here they are.

My first piercing was my eyebrow. My mom took me to get it a couple of days after I turned 17. Isn't she down? Yeah. I only had it in for 7 months before it migrated so much I had to take it out. Here's a picture of me with it in:


After I got my eyebrow pierced, I caught the piercing bug! About 3 months after my eyebrow piercing, I had the area under my lip pierced. This piercing is called a labret. It was a lot more painful than my eyebrow, but I still have it in:

(This is the day I got it done...nice blue hair, huh?)

(This is me now, all toned down, labret very subtle under my huge bottom lip)


My big adventure was stretched my ears. I'm not going to post the pictures cause there's too many, but i'll provide links. My ears started at 8 gauge and that stretch hurt even though they look tiny to me now! I then stretched to 6 gauge, then to 2 gauge (yes, skipping gauges hurts and is not a good idea). I finally went to 0gauge and that was the worst. I had to tear my ear a lot for that one. I thought I was done, but I was wrong. I went to 00 gauge, then 1/2" where I've been for a year and think I'll stay.

My favorite piercing came the day after I turned 18. My friend and I went into DC to Perforations. I had my conch dermal punched (dermal punching can only be compared to a hole puncher). It didn't hurt too much, and I love the way it looks. Here's a picture of it with my 00 gauge ears:


The other piercing I got on the same day was my tongue. It hurt a lot because I have a short short SHORT tongue and it was a trouble to get it out. Now I like it though:


That was my last piercing, but I've since gotten two tattoos. The first is on the bottom of my neck/top of my back. It's kanji and it means energy/spirit. My roommate also got one on the bottom of her back. I know it's kinda played out for people to get kanji tattoos, my mine's meaningful to me in so many ways:


My second tattoo was a lot bigger and a lot more original. I though up the design and had the tattooist draw it. It took about two hours to complete, and it was fairly painful. I really love it though. It goes all the way across my back, and extends about 1/3 of the way up. It's hard to tell the exact size from the picture:


That's the end of my body modifications for now...
