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.

Oh dear . . .I must admit I don't have a thing for tattoos/piercings, but I have noticed a couple of things over time, in those who come in for surgery:
1. Tattoo on belly: unless that belly is not going to sag (and it's never symmetrical), bulge or otherwise follow the laws of gravity . . . don't, just don't.
2. Tattoos on arms (the tribal circumferential ones) - if I have to cut into that arm to fix a break, I ain't going to make sure I sew the ends together so that the tattoo lines up, OK? Swelling and bruising make this a wee too much after spending a couple of hours plating a bone.
More observations:
Babies with earrings - why oh why? Did bubs ask for the piercing? Was it their first request on emerging from the womb? "Hi Mum and Dad - nice to meet you. Could you put a couple of holes in my ears please - I'd feel so much better . . ?"
Pets with the same - don't get me started, I'm already sounding like an old fuddy-duddy . . .
