ive contemplated a tattoo but havnt gone through with it yet.


I do have some questions
How much DOES it hurt? Does it just numb after a while?

and if you plan on losing weight in the near future, is a tattoo a bad idea? (as for malformation of the tattoo)

A British company is developing small computer chips that can store music
in women's breasts.

This is considered a major breakthrough since women complain about men
staring at their breasts and not listening to them.

I bit the Bullet when I was 18 and got 3 :)
2 of them are a part of one, its a dragon looking thing jumping though my back and coming through the front Will get some pics soon and the other is good ol chinese symbols on my right ankle meaning 'Courage'

The pain, well its bareable depending on where you get it, my ankle hurt like crazy because its a bit closer to the bone, back was great sure it hurts but not the sorta pain you break down in tears to(keeping in mind its my upper right back) and the front, the closer it gets to your nipple, the more you know about it :)
Then you wait a few days for it to settle down as it tends to be a slight burning snsation for a while.

Im the same not a piercing fan.

I don't see it happening, but I dig that mantra that you had, Blue_Muppet. I once toyed with the idea of getting Boba Fett's skull symbol tattooed on my forearm, but I'm not big on the whole "rest of your life" commitment to one of my geekisms.

As far as piercings - no chance, no way, no how.

I have a shamrock on my arm, and a celtic cross on my neck. The cross was done with a home made gun and a guitar string.

I also have two piercing in my left ear.

I still want more of both.

I believe that BMs Mantra is this....

oM ma Ni padme hUM

THere is no real correct translation so i have heard.... or read...

but something like...

meaning, "Hail to the Jewel in the Lotus." The Jewel in the Lotus: a fairly simple phrase, but as with most Eastern philosophies, there's much to be learned from this. The Jewel in the Lotus basically means that wisdom and compassion are within us all, like pure seeds blossoming and unfolding within our own tender hearts.

at least that i swhat i found out.

I'm thinking about getting a tatoo someday... I don't know. I'm just afraid that I'd pick something that I would regret later (thus making the permanent aspect of it a bit scary). As for piercing... meh. Both my ears are pieced. I really don't mind piercing and could go for an eyebrow or lip ring (I'll pierce pretty much anywhere EXCEPT my tongue... that's just disgusting IMO). Bah, just more things on my To-Do-In-Life list, lol.

I dont currently have any(tattoo/piercings) right now, but I plan to get at least 1 tattoo this summer.

I'm still working on my idea...it will most likely have 1 or 2 monkeys in it, and I'm debating whether or not I will have my sign on it (Libra)

I am also not a fan of piercings...so I will never have any :)

got me ear pierced back in year 12 (2001) as an expression of rebelion. I was going through a fairly rough time and it was my way of expressing myself.

got my tongue pieced back in 2002 cuz it seemed like a good idea at the time :P
still got it, gf likes it, it aint going no where at the moment ;)

Now what happens if your g/f gets her tongue pierced too and the two of you kiss? Answer: It clicks.

great stuff guys, i was hoping that there would be some freaks here, and i was right baby yeah! :D

Pik: man, it hurts, but lots of shit hurts, so its not like you'll be screaming in agony. its mroe like a cat scratching sunburn for like 45mins +.



Firewiz: pretty much what Boss said is spot on. it says:

Om Mani Padme Hum

QUOTE
"There is not a single aspect of the eighty-four thousand sections of the Buddha's teachings which is not contained in Avalokiteshvara's six syllable mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum", and as such the qualities of the "mani" are praised again and again in the Sutras and Tantras.... Whether happy or sad, if we take the "mani" as our refuge, Chenrezig will never forsake us, spontaneous devotion will arise in our minds and the Great Vehicle will effortlessly be realized."

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
Heart Treasure of the Enlightened Ones



QUOTE
The six syllables purify the six realms of existence in suffering.


Om: purifies bliss / pride in the realm of the gods
Ma: purifies jealousy / lust for entertainment in the realm of the jealous gods
Ni: purifies passion / desire in the realm of humans
Pe: purifies stupidity / prejudice in the realm of animals
Me: purifies poverty / possessiveness in the realm of the hungry ghost
Hung: purifies aggression / hatred in the realm of the hell

QUOTE
"Thus the six syllables, Om Mani Padme Hum, mean that in dependence on the practice which is in indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure body, speech, and mind of a Buddha."






so, um ,yeah...there ya go :)

um, spidey, dont get one in summer. You gotta keep it out of the sun and out of salt water for at least 3 weeks after you get it done, and then protect it like hell from the sun for the first 3 years, lots of suncream etc. :)
