Thanks for the advice! I'll be sure to remember if I do end up trying piercings again.

I've not quite decided yet, but probably on my back or one shoulder. Given the career I'm wanting after uni, I figured it would be best to have a tattoo where I can easily cover it up at work. I'm wanting something kind of steampunk-y that looks like I have cogs under my skin if that doesn't sound completely weird. I'll probably be in pain, given that I am the biggest wuss ever, but it'll be so worth it.
