Do you have any body modifications? Would you ever be interested in pursuing body modification?
My ears are pierced, but that's about it. I used to have a second piercing in my right ear, but that closed up. I had my belly button pierced, but my body rejected the metal (we tried everything...surgical steel, titanium, gold). I've had two pregnancies, which maybe isn't what people typically think of as "body modification", but it does actually change your bone structure. *wry smile*
I have considered a couple of different tattoos for years...serpents wrapped around my wrists, my children's names, a symbol of my faith, a mark from Beloved. I'd probably go for white ink, regardless of the design. I haven't done it because I've never found the perfect design that I think I could live with for the rest of my life.
I have also imagined a pair of branding scars on my back...not designs...just scars. They would be on my shoulder blades, right about the bra-strap level. These would allow others to "see" my wings and remind me of who and what I am. I actually know two people who DO branding and they have said they'd be happy to help...but I am freaked by the process!
While I have never really considered getting a tattoo before, a piercing does sounds like fun. The question is where...ear, bellybutton, nipple?
