I am very conventional in my clothes, hair and such...but every now and then I wanna go crazy...
pink hair
nose ring
or such?
I won't because I get all weirded out when my clothes don't match and if I had on something that didn't match the pink it would bother me

and
I don't like pain and a nose ring, well, my hubby would have a heart attack

but I think I might get this:

or maybe I will just go and paint my hall way orange!
 
that looks SO very painful ... but very cool. love the heart. (sadly, i can't wear any earrings at all. my ear lobes go nuts and get infected. even the good stuff. i miss being able to ear them!)

i say paint the hall way!
 
I can't wear earrings either @jenn mccabe.

I thought about coloring my hair purple one time, but I'm like you @AnneofAlamo, it would drive me nuts if my clothes didn't match the purple. I'm too conservative... I'm a pretty plain Jane girl. I don't even wear makeup most days. I usually only wear it for special occasions.
 
A tattoo?
Sadly my hair is too dark to dye any color and after chemo it reacts weird to strong chemicals so no bleaching it. Tried a piercing in the upper ear but it got infected. So guess I'm not too wild and crazy. Unless a tattoo...
 
oh no, no tattoo for me...
even in my wild days
I used to be a bit hmmmmmmmm on the dark side, and went to a motorcycle rally(I will call it that for lack of a better word)
and every woman had a tat.
I did not.
I had one lady want to fight me because of it.
humor and honesty has always been my best defense.
so I told her of my Dad's tiny anchor on his arm.
I mean miniscule. He got it done when he was just 17 in the Navy.
My whole life he told of it being a huge mistake.
He is a big man now. Big arms and that tat is misshapen and looks like a blob in an anchor shape.
HE would make me promise all the time.
NO TaTTOO.
she was so mad, and then laughed so hard. I held her hand that night as she got a tat of a tiny tattoo...lol
so no tats on me!
 
You could always do some wash out color streaks just to feed your rebel side Anne! :) I'm with you too, I always kinda wanted a tatoo, but I can never decide what would be meaningful to me now and FOREVER. I don't want anything that everyone else has and I'm not clever enough to think of something new, so this skin canvas stays blanks. Lol.
 
However...I have been really tempted to color my hair!! I thought of pink, but I don't want to look like an albino and I don't want permanent ...roots!! you know. Maybe some streaks for Mardi Gras?
 
I feed my occasional wild side with different bold clothing choices. You don't have to wear them every day - just when you want to be different. I love red and purple and wear them often.
 
I think at this stage of the game, I'm going to forgo getting a tattoo but it's something I've thought of often and almost got one on my foot a few years ago. I also like the idea of a meaningful symbol or word above the inside of the wrist. I'm a big baby when it come to pain and I cringe at how it would feel to have it done. Also, I hate tats that get misshapen and I'd worry that would happen. My daughter had a big one on her belly, huge mistake....being pregnant stretched it all out. She really regretted that teenage decision she had made years ago.

So, as cool as I think it would be to have one....I won't.
 
my oldest son just got a HUGE one of his wife's name.
She hates it, hates tattoos and was not impressed,
he wanted her to get one, and she told me the funniest saying she holds too...
you don't put a bumper sticker on a Lamborghini.
I know why my son picked her, but sometimes I wonder why she picked him..bhahah
bhhhahhaha
 
Oh @AnneofAlamo you're so funny. Sounds like that boy got a good one.
I'm finally entering my rebellious teenage years so you never know what I'll do. My son keeps encouraging me to get one and it would be a solidarity thing in an issue we share.
 
lol re the bumper sticker. My friend had permanent eyeliner tattooed on, she seems to be happy with it, but for 20 odd years or so ,every time I see her I want to take a hankie ,and just get rid of that tiny little blob, that sits in the inner corner of her eye... I have never told her, because she is stuck with it, and if I make her conscious of it she will be self conscious , but boy is that annoying ! So nothing that can not be washed of or removed for me.

:giggle Love it!!! And I agree, especially since I won't even put a bumper sticker on my '03 Toyota! (On the glass, yes, but on the actual paint? Heck no!)

When I worked in a corporate environment, I was always tempted to get just one chunk of my hair dyed hot pink. A chunk that was underneath, so it wouldn't show unless my hair was in a pony tail or bun (which it is 99% of the time).
Now that I've quit that job, I have no desire to have hot pink hair in any quantity at all. I think that particular urge was more rebellion against corporate culture than actually wanting to do something crazy with my hair. :)
 
I adore the way nose studs look but am going to get a magnetic one just to be safe.

My bestie & I are going to get matching pilcrow (the editing sign for starting a new paragraph) tats sometime next year. It has all sorts of meaning for us including the fact that we are big ol' nerds. :giggle It will be my first one. She has a bunch already.

I am seriously considering getting a streak of 'unicorn hair' (rainbow) for my 37th birthday in January. It would be on the underside so it could be 'hidden' if need be. 37 is my favorite/lucky number so it is a big deal for me.

My mom is going to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie. :evillaugh

This! My husband wants a baseball (for the Giants) with my signature on it, near his heart. I am not a fan of sports or cartoon tattoos. He has a tattoo of the Chinese symbol for husband with our initials on his hip. I have the matching one for wife. Mine didn't heal right, so it's missing ink in the middle. I keep saying I'll fill it in, but it's been 15 years so I'm guessing I won't.

I also have a cross with a heart in the middle on my shoulder to remind me of St. Mary's College. My grades fell & I lost so my scholarship. So, I wanted to always remember not to waste chances I'm given.

I have had pink hair (for breast cancer awareness) & 2 eyebrow rings. That's pretty low-key for San Francisco.

Anne, an earring can "close back up" if you don't like it asap, so if you get that piercing, it isn't as permanent as you may think. Just saying. :)
Having said that, I have 2 tattoos, one of which I got soon after my 18th bday and one around my 21st (after then-fiancee, now DH, said "don't you dare get another tat!" heehee!) Anyway, the whole "don't put a bumper sticker on a Bentley" argument is, in my opinion, flawed: women wear clothes and makeup and we curl/straighten/color/cut/otherwise change our hair. We wear shoes (high heels are truly bad for our health!) and lotion and jewelry--like earrings, where we literally shove a sharp object through our flesh in the hopes of continually aggravating that flesh enough to create a permanent wound--so to act as if a tattoo is a BAD THING to do to ourselves completely ignores all the other stuff women (and sometimes men) do to ourselves.
OK, hopping off my soapbox now! IMO, painting your hallway is a lot more work than having someone else paint a few semi-permanent streaks of color in your hair rotfl, so I'd say to color your hair. But that's just me. :) Actually, I take that back: I paint in my house all the time. So do BOTH! :banana:cheer:carryon
