Thread: Pierced?

You are never too old to get steel!! You might think you are though. To which my response is "You're as young as who you feel!" Shame on you both!

"soliciting for a career in Law enforcement"? Sorry chief! I think that would be more likely to put you in a cell than holding the keys outside. Surprised you would have to take them all out though. Surely below the shirt is nobody's business but your own?

I have seen a few supensions done & was hugely impressed. Teh endorphin rush must be outrageous. I would like to try it. The only problem is the one guy I asked about it advised me that it would not be a good idea because of my diabetes

the job-factor was the final drop.
I used to bite my tongue piercing a lot, resulting in some broken teeth.
And my nipple piercing often got caught while working (construction right now) and I wouldn't want some jerk grasping for it in the future.
The lobestretchings are a no-no for joining the Police, so are tattoos lower than summersleeves, no worries there, still enough skin on my chest, back and legs.

I have 17 so far. 7 in my left ear, 5 in the right (a mix of titanium rings and gold plated studs). A spring ring in my right nostril, a barbell through my tongue, labret in my lower center lip and both nipples done with barbells. The right nipple has been stretched but I can't remember what size the bar is at the moment.

I'm getting the ink itch more than the piercing one at the moment which is in direct conflict to my RAD!

Chief I used to work with plenty of Police officers who had tattoo's below the elbow, granted the only one able to get away with a short sleeved shirt was the Superintendant. If you want to keep the nipple piercings how about taping over them before work? That way they are less likely to get caught on anything or be ripped out.

I took them out already some months ago. It felt strange removing my piercings, some of them I've had for 15 years. Especially the one in the tongue, I've seemed to grow some habbits, like playing around with the barbell, and now it's gone it felt weird at first.
And in Belgium the lower arm tattoos are forbidden when you're joining the police, maybe it's different in Brittain. All my tat's are in other places so that's safe.

No it's same. I have an application right in front of me and it's def the same. (sister is applying)

Infact in northern ireland, if you have anything which might represent sectarianism, you wont get in either.

I had 3 - Ear lobe stretched to 10mm, Tongue and right nipple. But I took out the tongue a couple of years ago.

In my youth I nearly got a PA but Fred is incompatible, so I nearly got an RPA but chickened out.

I've not got any Ink at the moment but I do get huge cravings for a back piece or at least over my shoulder but I can't decide on a design, so for the moment I'll just have to satisfy my cravings in other ways

I have in my life had both nips, nose, below the belt(s), tongue and multiple ears, now I just have the two lobes stretched to 00. I could still put one BTB in but I rarely do. Most came out when I became a Sergeant in the Army, I'm (honorably) discharged now but never put them back. You mentioned steel, oddly enough I only wear glass now.

Well I'd known of the Ampalling, but not the name. learn something new and all that.

No piercings here or ink, but i've been tempted to get a tat... I even have what I'll get (it'd be two at once) if I did.

As for the steel, not very tempted, but I think that's more for wanting to act than anything else.
