Got any body modifications?

I LOVE bodyartforms, I have a collection of their stickers from all the times I've purchased there. I have one ear gauged to 5/8ths but the other fell out during gauging process when I got it to 00, but since it was my trouble ear I didn't bother trying to do it again, because it was a PAIN and I got tears when I was doing it before =[ So I just have the one. I also have my lip pierced that I wear a tiny star in. I had self pierced a monroe and next to where my normal lip piercing is now but I took them out, the monroe due to it swelling(cause I was dumb), and the normal because my mom found out (I was 15 when I did it) and then for my 16th birthday she took me to get it done professionally. I also pierced my septum but i pierced it with a sterilized safety pin and couldn't find a ring small enough to fit in it, so I took a picture of me with a safety pin in my nose and then took it out, wish I had the picture still. I also have 6 tattoos so far, I've mostly been sticking to 1 a year since I turned 18 but for my 21st I got two tattoos.

I plan on getting many more tattoos throughout my life. I also hope to get my septum professionally pierced and get my ear that isn't gauged pierced up with a few other piercings since it's just a normal hole now. I know for sure I want an industrial, but don't know where else on it I'll get pierced, I like to keep a "symmetry" to my body mods.

Your stretched ear is one size below mine :D I stayed at 5/8 for such a long time. Had some really cute jewelry, too, but I love the size I'm at now.

If you want to stretch your trouble ear (I always called it my b**ch ear xD) then take the largest size no flare plug you can fit in your ear (double flare steel tunnels also work, just make sure the wearable area is wide enough not to pinch your ear) and tape up. Taping up is where you use PTFE tape (the white, soft teflon tape plumbers use to seal leaking pipes) and wrap one or two strips a week around your jewelry. The tape doesn't have any kind of adhesive, and it's non-porous, meaning it won't harbor bacteria that can cause infection. This method provides a very gradual, painless stretch (waaaaaay better than using tapers to stretch up) and I used this method for stretching up my last four sizes :3

You can get PTFE tape at wallmart, lowes, home depot, or you can order it online.

i have a small black feather tattoo on my left wrist if that counts as body modification. i wanna get another small cross tattoo on my right wrist too.
 
Pain isn't my favourite thing, so I'd rather not ever.

Not every body mod is painful, though :3 If you stretch your ears the right way, for example, it should never hurt. As for tattoos and piercings, I guess everyone's pain tolerance is different, but if you like something, don't be afraid to try it. For piercings, there are always numbing creams, and I'm pretty sure they use a kind of numbing cream for tattoos, too (of course, some areas will always be more sensitive than others like your thighs, inner arm, scalp and ribs).
 
I currently only have the right side of my lip pierced, I'm tempted to get snakebites and stretch my ears, but I think my lobes are too small ;.; but eventually I want a few tattoos:3
 
Just pierced ears but I don't wear earrings. I tend to think people look best the way they are naturally. I don't even like jewelry.
 
don't ever want to get my ears pierced, but i'm planning to get a tattoo when i grow old enough. no other body modifications, but i want to get some type of galaxy (moons, stars..) tattoo on my back or my wrist, i have loved space ever since i was little. still thinking about it since i have 3 years to be legal.
 
I have 7 piercings, six in my ears. Two lobes on my left ear, an industrial on the left, two rooks on right, a lobe on my right, and an inverse navel.

I am also getting a tattoo on the 21st of this month. I am super excited
 
I got my ears pierced, planning to get tattoos once I am old enough!
 
i have both my lobes and both my traguses pierced - i want more ear piercings and kind of want a lip piercing (medusa i think?? the top center one) plus then tonnes of tattoos. i might get a tattoo for my 18th birthday, but i also want a coffee machine, so we'll see how that pans out
