Congrats on that loss! You so deserve to be in an itsy bitsy yellow poker dot bikini!

On tattoo for me: There is no body part I want to particularly emphasize on the ice or ummm the beach..giggle.

Hers was so old, it wouldn't unscrew, and she didn't want to have it cut off.
well then, that settles that debate.

I think your opinion is well stated. How fortunate for your pairs lady to have you as the foundation in which she shines.

to be truthful, I really don't like pain. ...and I have heard way too many horror stories of tattoos and piercings gone wrong. Just like anything, I think bodyart/piercings can be done tastefully and it can be overkill. ( hmmmm....forget the navel ring, maybe I will just stick with my original plan of rebellion as I approach 40 that is less painless, topless, red and has a turbo engine in it.)

From Rob "To me, it is like throwing paint on a masterpiece."

How kind!!!!

I use to bring in temporary tatoos for the kids on my research studies, lots of fun and they come off. I also put one on a boyfriend while he was asleep (after he insited it couldn't be done). Ha!!

I lost 30 pounds and my reward was a naval ring. I've had it for almost 4 years now and the weight is still gone! To me it is a nice reminder of my accomplishment. I was almost 40 when I got it and some of my friends said it was a "mid-life crisis" Haha.

I would imagine tatoos and piercings are fine, as long as they're not excessive.

I very smart adult skater I know has a band tatooed around her upper arm and whenever she skates, she glues crystals onto it so that the judges think it's an arm bracelet! I thought that was brilliant!

I have a smallish tattoo on my upper arm and my coach asked me to use make-up to cover it for my artistic program since that dress is sleeveless. My freestyle dress on the other hand has long sleeves so the tattoo is already hidden from view.
