Bustin' balls, a pair at a time.
But seriously, I don't like tats primarily because I have zero patience and it would get old in like 2 weeks for me. I here that they have a 2 week tattoo like thing in India. It is an ink decoration thing. They do it for brides when they get married and they have places you can go to, to get it done. I'd do something like that, no problem...only because it'd go away after two weeks.

I could never tire of my tattoos.

That'd be Henna, right?
"Henna has been used to adorn young women’s bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations since the late Bronze Age in the eastern Mediterranean."
"In the Indian subcontinent, there are many variant words such as Mehndi in North India, Pakistan and Bangladesh. In Telugu (India, Malaysia, USA), it is known as Gorintaaku. In Tamil (South India, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka) it is called "Marudhaani" and is used as ground fresh leaves rather than as dried powder. It is used in various festivals and celebrations and used by women and children. It is left on overnight and will last one month or more depending on the plant and how well it was ground and how long it is left on."
I've had my tongue barbell since 1998, and it's still in there.
The actual piercing didn't hurt that bad. Just a little sting. The painful part is the healing process. Make sure you go to the store and buy one of those mini-bottles of Listerine, carry it around in your purse, and rinse, rinse, rinse every time you: eat, drink something other than water, and smoke. Your tongue will swell, and you'll have to eat shit like soup, jell-o, slurpies, etc, for a few days.
It helps a lot if you drink a lot of ice cold water. It really does help with the swelling. It should only last for about 3 days, tops.

Thanks a bunch! I didn't have the name for that. Now I have several!
