Body ModsThis week we hand the honours over to DippyFi, who asks:
"Got your girlfriend stuck on your Prince Albert? Had an argument with your tattoo artist mid-tattoo? Piercing mysteriously dissolved the cartilege in your ear? Or worse: decided to pierce yourself while you were drunk? Go on, I wanna hear all the gory details!"
The closest I've got to body piercing was when a friend stuck a sodding gardening fork through my right hand. It wasn't a good look to be honest.

Various body modsOver the past few years I have had 7 body piercings and 4 tattoos that were done professionally and a fair number of body piercings that were done after drinking too much and it seemed like a good idea at the time. The worst of these was probably the branding that I gave myself with a gas-powered soldering iron. After far too much to drink I decided to carve a pentagram into my left upper arm with said instrument. I have vague recollection of the living room smelling of barbecue and of going over it twice to make sure that I had done it properly. Oddly enough it didn't hurt- the combination of alcohol and seared nerve endings saw to that. Next day I woke with a sore arm and a lovely red mess on my left arm. In fairness it turned into a dark scar of a pentagram which later washed off as it healed to leave the white branding scar- but it still looked pretty fucking stupid. I had it tattooed over with something much more tasteful a few months later.
