Body Mods? :3

Well since Alex has been on my case constantly for weeks, I will finally do an update. As I've previously stated, I'm so bad for keeping up with blogs.
So, you might know by now that I have a passion for getting my body altered. I started with piercings (we wont include ear lobes in this because people get that when they're 6 years old) on my 13th birthday, when my sister paid for me to get my belly button pierced. My first tattoo came not long before my 17th birthday, illegal, I know. Ooooh drama!
I was the height of cool when I got my belly button done, as I was a bit of a reject at school and for me to have my belly button done at that age shot my reputation up for a while. It started me down the road of addiction to body mods...
My next was piercing was my left tragus. It caused a stir in my family as no one else really has any piercings. I loved it, and cared for it very well and it helped me realise quickly that piercings were my new favourite thing.
Scaffold came soon after. And might I quickly add, the link for this one is actually my ear. I had my photo taken by the piercer for their website. This is still one of my favourite piercings of mine, though I fear it will soon start growing out more than it already has. But I love it, because it freaks people out slightly when they see it as it's still not a very common one.
I can never really remember the order after this, so I'll just list them as I remember!
I've also got the rim of my ear done twice. (The photo here is my friend's ear!) But that's not very interesting.
Anti-tragus is another slightly strange one I got done years ago too. I got it done as a well done to myself for doing quite well in an exam when I was at summer school.
I got my nose pierced at a strange faerie shop with my friends...I doubt you need a photo for this, we all know what nose studs look like!
I also got another belly button piercing because I was bored with just one. Double! I do enjoy this as one belly button piercing looks rather boring, and well...chavvy. But two is awesome! People do a double take (no pun intended) when I show them.
Not long before my 18th birthday I decided I wanted a more out-there piercing so I got my nipple done. (again, you don't need a photo of that) It was mighty sore getting it done, but only for a split second when the needle went in. This healed so quickly and didn't hurt afterwards like other piercings do. I recommend this one for people who like cool piercings but can't be bothered with constant aftercare.
My most recent piercing, and my current favourite, is my vertical labret. This is my most recent photo of myself - taken to show off my recently dyed red hair. I love my vertical labret as it is a really cool twist on the bog standard lip piercing...which I've had before but had to take out due to it wearing done my gums. But yeah, it's another not so common piercing so people do love it.
I was going to write about my tattoos as well, but I think that will be kept for another post...so that I've got something else to write about.
