Tattoo or piercing?

Background first:
Ive had my earlobe pierced before, and that was fine. Nothing went wrong with it, and everyone said it looked good. Had to take it out because I was working for an agency and was working at restaurants (quite classy ones) and places like Silverstone quite often, so I just left it out. Also had my eyebrow pierced, but that hurt like fuck. People said that looked good on me aswell, but it was a bitch taking it in and out all the damn time. Plus, I think my body rejected it, as even with massive doses of TLC it kept going all gungy for several months. Got a tattoo on holiday last year, the Chinese for 'Cancer' which is my Zodiac sign. Size of a 50p coin, and it didnt hurt, but that could be down to the fact that I was pissed.

So, do I get a piercing again or a tattoo? I know that a tattoo will hurt, but if I get a piercing it will be at the top of my ear instead of the lobe. And hell would have to freeze over before I got my nether regions or nipple pierced.

well, piercings DO have the benefit of being non-permanate...

Lol, dont worry, Ive been thinking about this for a long time and Ive decided on that design. Or a marijuana leaf to prove my devotion to Mary Jane.
I could always be like a chav and get love tattooed on my left knuckles, and hate done on the others. Offense fully meant to anyone who has this.

i have about 10 tatts, no more ink for me....but i would like a brand...just got to get up the balls to do it

A brand? You mean like having 'Nike' tattooed on your arm?

he he, not that kinda brand. the hot iron type of brand, as like branding cattle. you are quick, that made me laugh be cool

Tbh, id say tat. I got one of a skunk leaf on my top arm

Yeah I think Im leaning towards a tattoo. Gonna have it just below my shoulder on my left arm (so if I do hate it later in life, its easy to cover up). I forget what part of the body thats called. Im torn between the designs though, Id draw my own but Im shite at doing that. Maybe Ill pick up a tenbit later and draw while Im stoned.
I like the boldness of the last one, whilst I like the waviness of the first.
