anybody want to share about their body mods? i'm speaking broadly, including any piercings or tattoos. current, planned, or retired, i'd love to hear about them!

for me, i just have a couple facial piercings and one pair of lobe piercings. i'm starting to stretch my lobes and it's very exciting! one of my ears needed a couple extra weeks to go up to a measly 14g, so i'm ready to be really, really patient.

I'm generally a vanilla person, so i haven't done anything yet.

I do Roller Derby (play and officiate), so at this point, I know more people with tattoos than without. I've wanted something for a while now, but generally haven't because of the fear of commitment.

I've found an idea I really like, have started talking to people for recommendations for an artist.

In derby, bruises are extremely common because it's a full contact sport. You can be kicked or grabbed or hit the floor, or fall on someone's wheels, and these bruises can be beautiful, changing all sorts of colors and shades and patterns. There's a gallary of example "Derby Kisses" where a photographer recorded some stunning examples: https://riikkahyvonen.com/roller-derby-kisses

I want to get a tattoo of a wheel bruise with it blending into a galaxy, since space has been another long-term obsession, would get it outside my right thigh where I've had bruises just like the ones above. I just really like this concept, and I'm hoping I can find someone to realize it for me
