Body ornamentation

[g-boy]

I have nothing so far, I think my brother has enough piercings and tattoos for my entire family tree. So first I'll give you an overview of what he has, then what I intend on doing. He's 23, a long-time punker, anti-everything, you know the deal. His hair has been every color on the spectrum, he's shaved it, mohawked it, dredlocked it, etc. He started with piercings, he got a bunch of holes in his ears, lobe and several other spots. Guess he discovered he liked it, so he then got a septum ring (the partition between your nostrils). He had to hide it for a while because he was underage and didn't want my family to know. After he turned 18, boom, he went all out. He got 3 lip rings, tongue ring, nipple rings, and god only knows what else. I believe he took out the nipple rings, but I could live with all of his piercings except for two. I wish I could remember what they are called, but you know those discs in the earlobes that stretch them out to a huge hole? He's got those, had them for years, and now they are about 1 1/2 inches in diameter, maybe more. It's gross, and essentially permanent without plastic surgery in his future. Oh, on top of that, I forgot to mention he's got tattoos on every limb and several on his torso. Dunno if this would count as jewelry, but he of course wears all of the punker patches and stuff. He actually dresses slightly more normal now.

Now for me. Like I said, nothing so far, but I plan on getting one or two tattoos. Nothing big, nothing nasty. My brother got a tattoo that intrigued me. Basically it's the crest of the MacKenzie family, a Scottish clan thing. I thought something like that might be cool. I also like the yin-yang and the philosophy behind it, so a tattoo of it is a no-brainer for me. Probably just put it on my back or upper arm or something.
