How Do You Adorn Yourself? ~~LadyPhoenix~~

  Author:  31765  Category:(Discussion) Created:(4/1/2002 7:58:00 PM)

Since the dawn of man, we've been adorning ourselves. Piercings, tattoos, jewelry, body modification.

So which, if any, of these do you have? Pierced ears? Tongue? Unmentionable? ;) Tatoos?

As you can tell I have succombed to boredom and have decided to relieve myself with nosiness. Tell me about your adornments. :) Are they spiritual? Are they pure vanity? Tell me. :)

As for me, jewelry. And by some standards, a lot of it. Also a few piercings and eventually I'm getting a tat. I'm interested in what y'all are into :)

Date: 4/1/2002 8:23:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    CARDS...what did you choose for your tats?  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:24:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    He! he!he! What do you think Lady Phoenix! Yes! It hurt badly, especially the next few weeks. You never realize just how often you bump your nose untill it is pierced. LOL! My son pierced it for a birthday present 10 tears ago.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    See, I have a thick nose and everytime I bumped it (and I bumped it alot), it felt like all my body was coming out thru that little hole in my nose. And when I would wash my face, I always forgot... Maybe I'm just slow to realize that hurts... LOL! I'd do it again tho.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:28:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    lol I thought so Penny...I was just sitting here thinking how sensitive the old snoot is and thinking...sharp thing going through it....HOLY OUCH!!! lol....but I bet it looks very cool. What kind of jewelry do you wear in it?  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:28:00 PM  From Authorid: 24924    I'm a jewelry freak. I especially love gemstones: Pink Sapphires; Tanzanites, Citrines and this new one, Moissanite! (5 times the refractive qualities of diamonds). I collect 18K, 21K, and 24K Gold jewelry. I also love HATS; and I'm always switching the scarves, pins or flowers on them to get different looks. Today, I found some gorgeous Tomatoe Red, suede platform shoes, and a bag with red and white beads sewn into the fabric. Oh yeah, I like all the "adorning", yes indeed. :)  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:29:00 PM  From Authorid: 30421    I wear the same jewelry all the time..BORING I know but I can't wear anything but real gold. LOL But anyways I have 2 rings, a necklace, and earrings. I have more than one pair. I just keep my diamonds in :o)  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:31:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    I just wear a little bitty stud in it. I have to wear 14 carat jewelry because of allergies. I did wear a little diamond stud in it and I did try an emerald one too. The emerald stud looked like a booger tho! LOL!  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 30421    LMAO@Penny! I have the same allergy! It sucks too b/c I can't wear all the pretty silver jewelry :(  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    sounds pretty Angel Baby :) I have a major metl allergy and can only wear gold too. I'm into opals and diamonds right now...one pair of earrings is opal/diamonds....ring on my right had is opal/diamonds....pendant is opal/diamonds...lol..I have the whole set. Between my mom and signifigant other, they adorned me well...lol...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:35:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    ROFL Penny!!! oh my goodness, I hadn't thought of an emerald looking like a nose goblin...lol...and this leads me to ask...the indelicate question...what happens when ya sneeze with your jewelry in? I mean...do you have to take it out right away to give it a good cleaning? I know, I know....gross...but I really am curious...lol...and I feel for you with the metal allergies. Same here. But at least then men can't sneak the fake stuff past us...lol...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:35:00 PM  From Authorid: 30421    Ohhhh I love opals. My grandmother has this beautiful ring with opals and diamonds and I WANT IT!! It was my great grandmother's so she is still kind of partial to it but I am working on her :o)  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:37:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    I have a thing for opals too Angel...all the fire and brilliance just fascinate me. Of course, my s/o says anything shiny fascinates me...lol...and one of the reasons I wanted opals so much is my mom has a beautiful opal ring and I couldn't talk her out of it...lol...so she just got me one of my own :) ya gotta love mom's....lol...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:39:00 PM  From Authorid: 46800    My tats that I have are batman and a panther's head on my hip(ouch)**** now that hurts getting a hip tat........oohohohohohohhoh never ever to I recommend that!!!!! ewe.. I still feel the pain!!!!!from a couple on months ago..LOL iT ITCHED FOR A MONTH!!!!!!!CARDS  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:40:00 PM  From Authorid: 10534    I don't have anything pierced...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:43:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    lolol CARDS...no pain no gain huh? I've heard a really painful spot to get a tat is at the base of your spine. So of course I decided I want one there just to see if it's true...lol...I'm thinking the oroboro...do you know it? it's the symbol of the snake eating its own tail. But I'm afraid it'll get halfway done and I can't take the pain any more...and have half a snake on my back...lol...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:44:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    Actually the nose ring doesn't come out too much when I sneeze. But yeah, it has to be cleaned afterwards. :D OPALS! Wow! QVC had a thing on the weekend with opals! Maybe it was HSN? Anyway, they were beautiful! It's also my son's birthstone! I bought Leana an opal ring last year.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:47:00 PM  From Authorid: 9130    I currently have two tattoos and my ears are pierced. But I have had my tongue and my eyebrow pierced.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:49:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    does anyone find that their taste in jewelry changes? goes through phases? I love silver too, but can't wear it. one weird thing with me though <among many weird things lol> is turquoise. I love to look at it...on someone else...or a display case. And I have a few very nice pieces. BUT...I can't stand to have it on my body. Mom has a theory on this...do you? If so, share with me and lets see if the theories match up.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:50:00 PM  From Authorid: 46800    I really thought I was gonna fly out of the chair.... I did..... my husband said every time he did the ears I would make a face...ewe.....lol after so much pain I guess I just got used to it... But no more tats for me anywhere..... Sounds like an ouchy process for you....ewe......pain pain..lolCARDS  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:52:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    LOL...thanks for the info Penny! I wasn't being facetious...I really was curious. FOr some reason I had teh vision of a super sneeze and the jewelry flying across the room...you could put someone's eye out...lol....I missed the QVC thingy...they sure have some nice stuff at good prices though...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:53:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    lol CARDS...they may have to strap me down but I'm determined to go through with it. I also want one on my inner thigh and ankle....I'm a real masochist...lol...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:53:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    I used to love turquoise and silver jewelry too, but gold and gems are my first choice since I'm older and then also, they use hypo-allergic posts on the earrings instead of pure silver. I can't do it. :(  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    No, I didn't think that at all. Honest curiousity is great! My son does these big sneezes and well, I always have to turn my head! UGH! LOL! Messy!  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:55:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    Penny does your metal allergy give you those hive type things? Horrible itchy rash and swelling? It's awful. And my allergy arrived from one day to the next, which I've heard is common. It's usually an allergy to nickel.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:55:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    I have my ears pierced 10 times(in each ear) I have my lip pierced,and im planning on getting my ears pierced a few more times,my eyebrow,maybe my belly button,I want to get a few tatoos,a dragon on my shoulder blade(i looove dragons) a pentagram on my lower back (the reason is obvious) a black rose (its a thing with my best friend) and another dragon.  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    oh men can be so nasty....we as the gentler, kinder gender NEVER do anything off color *coughs* lol....I know my s/o could clear a room, but not because of a sneeze....i think the honeymoon is definitely over...heheh...  
Date: 4/1/2002 8:58:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    oh Moon Angel the tats you plan to get sound very cool too. Aare you going to design them yourself? And I bet that lip piercing must have hurt BIGTIME...lol...did you have to use ice for the swelling?  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:00:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    Oh yes! and itchy and oozy too! Sorry about being graphic, but even the thought bothers me. I almost have to have a jewelers loupe to make sure what I'm purchasing is for real! I even have broke out from surgical staples. My mom was the same way and so is my daughter and Leana. My son tho can wear any cheap jewelery. Isn't that a hoot?  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:04:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    yep...that's exactly what I get Penny. I'm itching just thinking about it...lol. And yanno, it's annoying because I see cute stuff...cheap stuff...lol...and I want it but know I can't wear it. My cousin has the allergy so bad that metal button on her clothes make her break out...  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:09:00 PM  From Authorid: 28946    The buttons? Oh my! She does have it bad. Yeah, so many pretty pieces of costume jewelry that will never be worn by people like us. Think maybe the gold makers are doing the conspiracy thingy? LOL!  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:10:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    actually lol it hurt more to get my upper ears pierced than it did getting my lip pierced,the only part that hurt about the lip was a very little bit when he pushed the needle through,when my nephew kicked it (lol)and last weekend when i accidentally bit my lip lol,for the swelling,i used a bit of ice,but it bugged me to much lol. and im thinking of desining them myself,but im not to sure yet:D  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    oh yikes I just noticed we're talking about metal allergies:( hate that  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:15:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    oh my!!! yes it must be a conspiracy Penny...lol....imagine all the money they make off of us. and a doc told me to get used to it, because once you get the allergy, it's for life. and yes, my cousin, bless her heart..had to have fabroc sewn over the inside of her jeans where the buttons/snaps touched her skin. she got the rash just like we do.  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:18:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    oh yeah Moon Angel...teh metal allergies are awful. do you have it too? and when you mentioned the cartilege piercing...yanno...the anticipation for me was SO much worse than the actual piercing. Just wondering how bad it would hurt...but when the needle went through, it just felt like a pinch. No sweat...lol...and...did you go to a pro body piercer?  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:27:00 PM  From Authorid: 26452    yea,I have them,but lucky for me its not as bad as my moms,she cant even wear gold.but I can sometimes wear those sensitive earring,and that titanium stuff,which is a big pain in the butt lol...oh yes,the actually waiting was soo much worse,it was about a month ago i just got my 10'th and i was sitting there sweating all nervous,i always forget how it hardly even hurts lol.and I pierced my 1st - 2nd,and my 9th,but the rest (including my lip) i got professionally pierced  
Date: 4/1/2002 9:38:00 PM  From Authorid: 49742    I don't have anything that exciting except four piercings on both ears a total of 8. Got my first piercing when I was five the old fashioned way. My 16 year old aunt did it with 3 other adults holding me down. Used a sewing needle with the potatoe and ice cubes if you know what I mean. It was traumatic never forgot it. But it was worth it cause no one else could get theirs done. I was very popular because of it. Got the other six at a beauty shop all at the same time in my 40's. Angelfollower  
Date: 4/1/2002 10:05:00 PM  From Authorid: 30200    my mom pierced my ear when i was 12,i pierced my nose in 1991,i have several tattoos, and i am getting my eyebrow pierced 2-day!!!they all r special 2 me..oh yeah..penny44 is my mom:~)

I prefer myself o-natural!! Although I would consider maybe getting a very small tat someday...maybe!! lol!! Much love, hugs, kisses, and very best of luck, hopes, and wishes your way and to ALL!! -KQ a.k.a.

Date: 4/2/2002 7:58:00 AM  From Authorid: 21155    You know what else I like?? I like to wear long dangly earring...not big mind you, just long dangly ones..I have long hair and studs and smaller earrings tend to get hidden by the mass of hair I have hanging down. Hoops don't look right on me because I have tiny ears and they don't lay right or sit right..however you want to put it...they just don't look right!! Hee hee... I also wear a few rings on my fingers and I have a necklace that I never ever ever take off as it was a special gift to me from a very special person!! I also will wear other necklaces on occasion with this one, I have one gold bracelet that I wear on my right arm and a watch on my left. Guess I didn't read through that as well as I'd thought I had the first time...missed the whole jewelry thing....*smacks self in forehead, then shakes head in an effort to wake up* -KQ a.k.a.  
Date: 4/2/2002 11:50:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 31765    lol...not to worry KQ....I tried to write this post so that nearly anyone can share their chosen adornments :) My necklace never comes off either...it has special signifigance. I also wear a gold bracelet....gold anklet...gold toe ring...lol...I like my jewelry :)
