Great shot! Thanks for sharing it. There's something about water...

OK, actually, there's something about a wet woman...

Is this TITilating to you ROB and RICK?

And then some!

Ugh!

You are NOT right my friend. But that's OK, we like you anyway! ;-)

Michelle must be some woman to put up, er, ah, accept, that is, to live with you. :-O

(you must admit, the woman's breasts are more sensitive than most other parts of her body) I don't know, but I think it's obscure.

I say, BUCK THE SYSTEM!! If all you females were to start walking around topless, we could no longer see breasts as sexual! Yeah, that's it! All the ladys, throw offf your tops and let those things out! Let's see those bras thrown up in the face of the American system! GO GIRLS GO!!

I'll be there all the way!

What man doesn't?!!

I took this this morning. I used sunlight for my light source. I'm hoping my neighbors didn't see the show .... ;)

Now that's ART!

Very nice. I'm curious to know how you did it. Outside lighting means a large window or sliding glass door (at least that's my guess). The arm(?) has a funny look to it - was there a mirror involved here? Please enlighten us.

I agree with the otehrs - if the neighbors saw anything, I'm sure they did not mind!

"Won't you be my neighbor?"

Very nice indeed!

Did I miss something? Why wouldn't it fit the guidelines? It looks like you were covered.

Speed, I'm sorry but the secret is too precious to me.

Perhaps, someday if we meet f2f, I might be persuaded to reveal it. But not here. :cool:

OK, I'll respect your trade secret.

But if we meet, I do expect an explanation. Your secret will be safe with me. (I have a Top Secret clearance)

I believe in the phrase: "Give the people what they want!"

You threw down the gauntlet, and Paul picked it up.

"I'll show mine if you'll show yours;) :p :cool: (tastefully done, of course)

He showed his.

Ball's in your court.

I thought you knew better than to throw out a challenge like that to Paul!

:-O

YOU LEAVE MY (internet) MOM alone, She will post if she sees fit to.

But, yes she SHOULD know I have very few moments of shame......WANT MORE PIERCINGS PICS? :D

BTW.. that image isn't that good anyway (though I shot it to be overly grainy and contrasty)

Not to worry. I love Penny, and I'm NOT out to give her a hard time.

"But, yes she SHOULD know I have very few moments of shame......"

Exactly! I thought she knew you better than that.

;-)

ALL OF THEM????????????

no ;)

I am now past my youth, so most are gone.

tongue, nipples, and inner ears only, but I had a few more(ABOVE THE BELT, so stop thinking about it) in my "youth"

SURE WHY NOT? :)

I have two in each ear, and a navel piercing.

My nose is next... around the middle of the month! I can't wait!
Wanted to do it for a LONG time.

AH, but mine are 8 GAUGE :o

WHAT?!!!

WHY?!!!

Have you lost your senses? You are such a lovely woman. Why in the world would you do that to yourself?

Call me an old fuddy-duddy, but has the whole world gone insane?

give me a little credit!
Believe me, I'd probably be stretching my lobes and have a larger gauge in my navel if I didnt have kids that would inevitably yank it out, or if I were a few years younger as well.

here is an exspaination of "gauges"

Appears you replied WHILE I was editing ;)

So you are piercing the BRIDGE of your nose or the SEPTUM?

HEHEHE, I had both nostrils and the septum .....EYES WATER alot during the pierce. DO NOT put anything besides 18k gold or surgical steel(captive bead ring or nostril screw) in your nose!!

I have a friend with pierces from head to toe...... maybe he will share???

If you must know...... 6gauge tongue, 8 gauge nipples, 14 gauge tragus(piece of catalage in your ear hole...so to speak) pierces are all I have now. My youngest brother just got one done.... 15 years after I did ;)

Thank you Speed, that is sweet.
I honestly can't give a definitive reason as to WHY I want it... I am attracted to it I suppose. I love the way it looks. I've wanted one for a long long time.
I can tell you a few "Why's" as to why I didnt get it long ago... my dad would have flipped, for one. I waited until he passed away to get my navel done (when i was 21). The navel is like "standard issue" these days though. Its kind of addicting- Once you get one, you kind of want another. Second- I've always worked in a professional atmosphere up until recently. A couple of women I worked with were asked to remove their facial jewelry when they were hired or promoted to different positions with the firm.
Now I do not have that type of restriction.
A reason I do want one, is, my husband is Indian, and though he is not a very traditional Indian, some of the women in his family wear them still. From what I understand it is a sign of submissiveness and respect to the husband (any Indians feel free to correct me here, this is just what I've heard)... so I thought it might be a nice way to show my hubby I appreciate him, his family, and his culture.
He likes it, and he's all for it.

His opinion is the one that counts!

And it's your body to do with as you will.

But I just don't get it.

Guess I'm just a dinosaur.

OK, THE 70'S ARE OVER DUDE!!!!!

BESIDES, the first body piercing shop opened in I do believe 1979 IN SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA ;)


BESIDE bible bumpers will love this ......In Genesis 24:22 Abraham gave a nose ring to Rebekah, wife of his son Isaac.

THE BIBLE DEEMS IT OK, SO IT MUST BE ;)

nope.... left nostril....
only using a small stud/screw.
i'd love a labret or a cheek....*sigh* but that may be a bit much for the family to handle.
Im having hubby take pics while they pierce.

Thank God!

:-)

Dude, to each his own. I don't understand it, it has no appeal to me, but if it floats your boat, then go for it.

I don't know why, but nose piercings just seem nasty to me. I think I understand the nipple and genital piercings (OUCH!!!), along with the belly button. But the nose and eyebrows and below the lip are beyond me.

Like I said, I'm just a dinosaur!

;-)

Come on Paul... come out to CA, and we'll go shoot around Berkeley and SF, getting all the piercing shops.
