I have the standard ear lobe piercings and they used to be stretched to fit a 2 gauge but I let them shrink back to normal and now I don't usually wear earrings. I'm thinking of getting an industrial in my right ear, but I'll probably just save my money up for some ink.

This. I love my tattoo :)
Yeah, you love your tat till your 85 and it looks more like Texas :D
just joking, but for real, I'm always going to keep a "clean" body (devoid of tats or piercings) I'd just end up regretting it later. But what is your tattoo of?
That's what everyone says. If I regret it in the distant future, so be it, I'll enjoy it 'til then :)

It's a tribal-style armband on my upper-left arm. It's hard to explain, since there are many other similarly-styled ones.
By the way, I wasn't insulting you, I like tats, I was just saying, not for myself. And your tattoo seams cool. Idk what kind of tattoo I would have if I got one...

I like tattoos. I don't imagine I'd ever get one, but if I did, it would probably be something tribal, on the small of my back...

I didn't think you were. I don't really even get offended if people insult it; I don't have it for approval, I have it because I personally like it.

I've seen very practical tattoos. I've seen one that was a written request to not be put on life support if brain-dead. It was complete with signatures from four witnesses.

My old science teacher had something similar done, except it was to inform doctors that all his organs were on the wrong side of his body. Like if he ever had appendicitis or something, they wouldn't cut the wrong side...

That's strange that all his organs were on the wrong side of his body.

It's a pretty rare condition, called "situs invertus". I don't know what causes it, but it usually isn't a problem, unless doctors go incising the wrong place :p

An update on my scaffold piercing (if anyone actually cares...):

I went to the place, but the piercing guy (piercer? piercist?) says the helix (curvy bit) of my ear is the wrong shape. It's too flat (story of my life), so he can't put the bar through without making my ear bend round, which would make it heal poorly, and scar. So I can't have it done.

I'm trying to come up with an alternative, involving a custom-made stud with a loop on it to substitute for the hole in my ear. It's difficult to explain, but basically, the stud can go in as normal, and then the bar feeds through the loop on the stud instead of passing through my skin. I just need to speak to the piercer/piercist and find out if its viable, and find a jewellers that can make the stud.
