Tattoos and Piercings

[Christopher]

Isn't the septum all bone? Or is it cartiliage?

It's various things.

If you're thinking sternum, thats the bone/cartiledge in the rib cage. I'd get my nose pierced, but it'd just make me look like an orc.

But with a piercing there it'd probably be rather difficult to scent man-flesh?

True... true.

But i've got a man, so i'm not too worried about that. I'd really only ever go for a stud though. But still, it's not for me.

Piercings- for guys, none. for girls, ears are fine as long as there aren't too many. I've got mine done once, although I haven't worn earrings in ages(they keep getting infected). A simple stud in the nose is fine as well. As for lip, tongue, eyebrow, navel- no.

Tattoos- They're all right if they're relatively small and well thought over, a couple months at least. And no names. I don't think I'd ever get one, but I do rather like some such as some sort of swirlyish design or chinese symbol on the ankle or shoulder or such.

Basically, both are all right in moderation, but not if you go overboard.

I don't get the deal with Chinese characters. Sure, it is nice and mystical to have something than means love or friendship or something on your ankle, but to any Chinese person it just looks like people are butchering their language.

How many Chinese symbol tattoos have errors in them? I bet it makes people fluent in Mandarin either frown or smile in amusement.

I'm kinda up in the air about piercings. I like some and not others. I don't like tongue piercings. I think it is and was a fad and alot of people will regret it in a few years. (and I also heard that the hole will never completely heal once you take the stud out, don't know if thats true or not)

I myself love tattoos if done respectfully or they match your personality. I have 2. I have a tribal dolphin type thing on my shoulder and a gemini symbol on the inside of my right wrist. I am also planning on getting a small silhouette on the top of my foot (small). My fiance has 3 now and is in the process of getting from the elbow to the shoulder done. I think they are great on him cause they match his personality. Alot of thought must go into your tattoo because it will be on your body for the rest of your life. I have not regreted any of my tattoos yet nor do I think I will. I am still in love with the one on my wrist and look at it all the time. I'm proud of it. My 2 cents.

I think having the Chinese characters are cool. My ex had four Chinese symboles done on his arm, and I totally forget was they were.

But me, I have "Trust No One" written in Kanji on my right forearm...and I work in a workplace were there are many different races coming in and out, and it's mostly the Oriental's that ask me if I know what my tattoo means, and when I tell them, they say that I'm right, but in their words, it means "Never Trust One". So, if you do your research well when wanting to get another language tattooed on you, you definatly won't look like a fool, lol.

I suppose, but you did say mention that Asian people said it really meant "Never Trust One", and that definitely means something different from "Trust No One". Not trusting digits is a bit iffy, if you ask me.

When I meant, errors, I didn't mean a misunderstanding of meaning, just the way it looks. The tattoo artist might get the symbol slightly wrong, and part of the symbol is the wrong length, or at a wrong angle. It'd just look silly, but still recognisable. Hence; butchering.
