I'm glad you stopped there. Besides nipples, I've known people who've had other things pierced that should not be pierced, vulnerable things.
One time in Berkley I saw this guy who had a chain running from his nose ring to his cheek to his ear AND then (several feet of chain later) over to his boyfriend's ear to cheek, to nose ring. With the amount of space between then and the busy sidewalk they were just asking for someone to walk between them.
Since I was in the Navy I've known lots of people who've made mistakes with tattoos. I've seen some cool ones too. I'm not a big fan of the tattoo "sleave"(wrist to shoulder) just because they are usually too busy. If you can find a good tattoo artist and something you really like then go for it but definately think it over first. Alot of the bad tattoos I've seen usually involved people getting drunk before they decided to get a tattoo. Getting drunk while you are getting the tattoo can help with the pain but it might be a good idea for you to have a friend along, who's sober, to make sure you don't get carried away.
Also, be careful about color choices. One guy I knew tried to have a brown bulldog put on his calf. Because it was brown you couldn't see the black outline so it looked like a big brown blob (or potato as he liked to call it.).
Placement is another thing you should think about. A cartoon character on your calf is going to be visable quite often if you like to wear shorts. Something on your chest or shoulder blade isn't going to be seen that often. One guy I knew had a very good color tattoo of Mighty Mouse on his calf. The only problem is he felt like a dork when he wore shorts. Another guy I knew had a drunk version of the Pink Panther on his shoulder blade, not as good as Mighty Mouse but at least it wasn't visible all the time (some friends of his got that for hime while he was drunk).
By the way, tattoos on thin skined areas over bone (shoulder blade, ribs, ankle) hurt more than say getting one on your deltoid or forearm.

The helmet on his little soldier pierced?
I've never understood that one. You have to wait quite awhile after doing it (months I think) before having sex again and then there's the risk to erectile function.

had pierced ears, but they've grown over. I can't afford 14K earrings.
I don't particularly find piercings or tatoos attractive. On men or women. Pierced earlobe is fine (not any further or multiples). One little tatoo isn't horrible, but it has to be tasteful.

i like pierced women as long as they dont seem overloaded. a couple of piercings in the ear on in the nose and a lip or tongue piercing is great. navel piercings on women are nice as well. genital piercings and nipple piercings on women look great as well.
i dont like piercings on men though.

I'm working on a tribal-like design for a tattoo on my arm. I don't want to get those ones that are in the books and catalogs because their not original. Anyway, I can live with something I design with the rest of my life.

No piercings or tattoos, and I plan to keep it that way for the rest of my life.

I have a Prince Albert and if anyone tried to rip it out they'd have to know me very well to get that close to the "wee man"

Likelyhood though I probably won't get one, it would ruin my hunky demeanure

Exactly.
I have a tat of an ankh on my inside left ankle that I gave myself. I have my left ear double pierced because I did that myself too.
I'm not too into piercings, but I love tats. I'm working on designing my own sleeves and some ankle-wraps, and a back mural thingy too. But I'm gonna wait a few years (say...20-30) because I don't have the money. In the meantime, I've designed a couple of small ones that I'm gonna get within the next couple of years.

Personally, I have two tattoos: one of a dragon on my back, and a kanji of evil on my neck. I also have my tongue pierced. I want my labret pierced and some ear/cartilage piercings, and MAYBE nipple piercings (if/when I get a better body). I will only get any other piercings if someone buys it for me and calls it a gift.
You missed an option:
NONE OF THE ABOVE.
That's right. There are people here who have no piercings or tatoos, and don't want them either.

Err, do you mean that you made the ankh design and had it put on or you put the ankh on yourself?... If you did it yourself then you've got some... (well, can't say balls now...hmm) major masochist pride and courage! But really, I tend to draw on myself when I'm bored and it never seems like me to have a tatoo. And piercings... one word... no. I will only have holes put in my body if I A) Stab myself by accident, B) someone shoots me by accident C) someone shoots me by intention D) medical purposes. The only body change I think about really would be my hairstyle... maybe I'll start parting it to the right instead of the left.

arn't I one who makes his own fashion...

I prefer not to have more holes in my body than I have right now, and I don't especially want a tattoo...

I carved into my ankle with a razor and put india ink into the wound. I made the design and gave myself a tattoo. And you can say balls. They might be proverbial, metaphysical balls, but they're mine.

Wow, now thats something to admire (or be scared of, pending how awake one is). Never could do to much self mutilation. I did push a high E string from an electric guitar through my hand... that was fun. Past that most self mutilation occured due to stupidity. But still, major balls.
