Hard to say I wasn't really clear minded at that time in my life, I was obsessed with body modification and uncomfortable in my own body. Some people around me and some of the circles I travelled in were into body suspensions and modifications. I still have subdermal implants in my sternum but don't think I'd ever go through something like that again at this point in my life.
It has been an interesting journey to say the least.

I am covered in ink from my ears to my toes. I got a lot of my work done when I was young, addicted to drugs, confused, and would splash whatever garbage I could on my body. Now I spend thousands of dollars fixing these mistakes. Make sure you know why and what you you want and if you aren't fully committed, don't. Good art costs, and good artists you wait to get into. Yes there are the rare exception but generally look for reputable shops, go through their artists catalogs and choose an artists who has a style you really like. Example: Don't take a realistic portrait piece to an artist who doesn't do portraits.
