Right now, I have four tattoos. All but one are friendship tattoos; I have a misspelled version of love on my left inner elbow, an old typo turned inside joke with a friend, a heart design on my right inner elbow, which was a symbol created and shared by two of my friends from my only other significant fandom.
Behind my right ear I have the word "Valentine", because this is the name I have long attributed to my writing muse, and behind my left I have a pattern designed my one of my very dearest friends from school. She always drew typical swirly tattoo designs everywhere, and she happened to draw one under the note she wrote in my leavers book, so on a vacation I took in 2007 to Virginia, where I met up with some other friends from the aforementioned fandom, I got it tattooed to remind me of her and the trip.
As for piercings, up until very recently I had nine, now I have eight, a conch and a lobe in my right ear, and three lobes in my left, plus three facial piercings; a septum and two on the left side of my lip. The septum was by far the most painful.
