Was just checking out the profiles of those logged on, and sheesh I'm way old!!

Anybody else in the 30 something crowd?

Yep, Im officially an old git, I know that because Niki told me so......LOL and I'm only 34

me me me IM 33 and damn proud of it

LOL, I'm still an older git than you future wifey.....hehe

When I turned 35, I felt old. At 38, I've learned to consider myself "seasoned." :rolleyes:
-MonkeyBoi

been told i get better with age hehe and then not looking my age defiently has its added benefits. gggrrr just wait till i lose 20 more pounds its so going to be on :p so ya being 33 dosent bother me at all. Plus im in my prime...but umm i think I hhave been in my prime for a very long time like 10 years or so

whew! monkeyboi ya got me beat. 36 next month. why'd i wait sooooooo long to do this?

LOL, sorry monkeyboi, but your comment got me thinking of a seasoned cooked chicken.

You're in Seattle? And you didn't invite me to watch you get your willy skewered? Damn!
-MonkeyBoi

ggggrrr now im hungry. i want seasoned chicken. Oh by the way future hubby. I make great seasoned chicken and pretty much anything else Im an awesome cook

mmmmmmmmm I love chicken, I'll be right over for some

wow thank god on your way may take a while. I have no chicken or the fixings in the house. hehe gives me tiem to go shopping

Well it may take me some time. As I'm broke at the moment, I'm gonna have to swim my way across the atlantic first, and then walk the rest of the way.....expect me in a couple of years.....LOL

Monkey, I was scared as hell walking into the shop. Ya think I wanted any witnesses?

To get back to the original topic...

I'm coming up on 41.

Oh, and... Off-topic. No offense.

dont lie!! youre at least 72......guarenteed!

Man, I'm just a young thing!! 26 in a few weeks.

I'm only 28 at least for 6 more months!

I frankly think it's GREAT that there are "older" folks here and still enjoying the whole body mod stuff. It's refreshing to see that it's not just the young and rebellous as people would think. Not that those of you that are younger are rebellous.

okay, skny's got us beat!

skny thx for moving the topic. still young to this.

Yah know, I've been trying to figure out what Sknydpr stands for . All I can come up with is "skinny diaper." Considering this topic, I'd guess we're talking Depends.
-MonkeyBoi

Considering some of the recent threads by snot nose youngsters :rolleyes: , an interesting topic would be how long people have had piercings.

My first lobe was in 1981, while a junior in high school. By the time I graduated from college in 1987, I had both lobes pierced a couple times and one helix. My right eyebrow (retired a long time ago) was my first "non-ear" piercing, in 1988.

Geez, I am old...
-MonkeyBoi

I only got 3 years and then I can join y'alls 30+ club...

My first piercing was lobes in '81. My first non-ear was my naval in '92. Long since retired though, damn kid made me not want to show off my belly no more... :p

I turn 20 3 months from today. I guess i'm just a baby.

sknydpr stands for skinny dipper i believe.

im 18 i gues sim barely lgeal

OI!

I was beginning to like you, too.

wow, you had your first piercing before i was ever born! :p

Quiet, you.

I had my first lobe in Dec. '82. Still early enough to have my sexual-preference questioned.

38 here, and proud of it! I agree, Jen, in our prime Besides having my lobes pierced since 12 & 18, I got my first navel piercing when I was 35, my carts and labia done at 37, my nips just shy two weeks of 38, and had my navel redone 3 days ago at 38! Oh, first tattoo two months ago - see, life does go on after your 20's - rock on!

As of last month, I can no longer be trusted. I'm 30. First pierced at 28, FWIW.

hehe... yours was about a year before i was born then :p

I never thought I would be the oldest to admit it. I have been 41 for a while now so just ahead of Sknydpr. I did have my lobe pierced in '85 and my cartilage in '88. I thought about the frenum a LONG time (over 10 years) and got that for my 40th birhtday.

I felt my oldest when I was 25 and have gotten younger feeling ever since

Hey! Who let the young'ens in here?!? I thought this was just for us old folks. Oh yeah, I'll 33 in 4 short months

Hehe,

Well I guess, I'm one of the oldest girls here at 38. First lobe piercings at 15 & VCH at 38 lol, with a whole lot more to come I hope!!! hey Chris
Body mods rock, & so do the majority of people that I've met here, in our happy tribe family. Whats more, life begins at 40!!!!! so they say, Is it true DAN?????????????

I didn't want it to mean "skinny diaper," just couldn't think of anything else. "Skinny dipper" makes so much more sense! :p But hey, everybody's got their own thang... :rolleyes: Who am I to judge?
-MonkeyBoi

Could all you youngsters quit with the noise!

49 two weeks ago, first pierced in 1974. 1st tat in 86.

Not counting gunning my lobes at 13, my first real pierce was my navel in 1996 and my first tat was just before that.

I was just wondering, is there anyone here younger than 14, or am I the baby of Tribe?

Rock On! TJZ beats us all.

Since my PA was sort of an early birthday present to myself, what should I consider for next year?

No youngsters allowed. Not really, but you know what I mean.

Apy conversion? Scrotal ladder? Lorum?

Yep I agree with TJZ go for the Apa conversion, thats on the top of my wish list too. Like yours my PA was a birthday prezzie to myself, but its taken longer than a year to go for my next piercing, I just make do with stretches instead.....LOL

I'm an old fart too! 34 here!!

Hmm. lesseee... I had my first ear piercing done in 1975, then I had my 2nd and 3rd one done in 82 and 83 with a *shudder* gun! My third hole still hurts when I wear something in it too! Damn gun!

I got my first tattoo in 1990... had it reinked and added to in 93, then significantly added to in 2000. Now it rocks.

I got my navel piercing and my VCH done in May of this year!

I think my next work will be another tattoo... I'd like to have the black design work that runs underneeth my first tattoo mirrorred down the other side of my butt. I'll have to post pics. It's bad ass. (pun intended.)

Old is such a relative term, you are only as old as you feel and act.

Oh, please, guys--you think you're old? Hah! I'm 46. My first tat was around age 30 and my first piercing (non-lobe) was my navel at age 44. So there.

Actually, I think a lot about the whole ageism thing. Ageism, like any other kind of prejudice, really burns my bum. And anyway, how old do I feel? Sometimes pretty damn old--I got 4 grandkids, you know, and my youngest daughter just turned 21 (whew!). But the things I like are all "younger" type things. I find that I don't have much in common with most people my age. Most of my friends are in their 20s. And, anyway, I'm still pretty juicy, yum!

Had my first lobes done in '85. I was three..hehe.

I'm only 21 now.

you got pierced when i was born. thats cute.

Would love to see it!

one of the things i like about coming here is the fact that there are ppl of all ages, from all over the globe, who have had very different experiences, but we all get along great (for the most part :p ) there arent too many places ive been too that i can say all that about, so i think we owe our selves a pat on the back, so to say

i personally think we could be a little more excepting and a little less conservative but overall i agree with your post.

You can call me granny if you want to...I was 42 in March. I don't even think about it...

I'm 39! Life just keeps getting better and better!!!

Is that how you feel, or who you feel?

Aaaaaaaaaannnnndddd, I'll shut up now.

I'm 32

Yeah, I think you might take the cake for the youngest one here! YAY!

I'm 19...my first set of lobes were in 1991. :p

In my experience, who yer feeling often influences how yer feeling. :p :p :p

YAY! I'm the baby! *dances*

I am nearing 28... So, I am almost in my 30's. Unlike the gals here on this board, it totally freaks me out. I am becoming obsessed with lines, wrinkles, etc. I don't want to get old, I think I am the only person who was too busy crying like a baby on her 21st birthday to actually get drunk. I don't know why I am like this either. I think part of it is, when I was 7, I asked my mom how old she was, she said 28, and I freaked, I kept thinking "OMG that is so old, I don't want my mom to die!" And I guess it just stuck with me...
I try not to let it get to me, but sometimes I seriously get wierd about it. In person, people think I am way young, like in my teens, so that can be nice(and way annoying sometimes too though)but, once in chat some one asked how old I was, and I told him to look at my pics and guess... He said between 28 and 33, and I freaked, I mean, I was like "OMG I am sooo old, I look even older, OMG..." Then, I obsessed about it and asked others who entered chat later to guess, and one said "Wow, I dunno, but I like older women!" I was like----> , and ever since, I have been talking to docs about peels, botox, and face lifts... I think I am getting a bit of OCD over this...
I got my ears pierced in 1975. Then my nostril in umm... 1990 maybe, but I took it out, had it done again in 1995, then took it out... Just recently got it redone.

Oh gee, thats great. So I am officially old enough to retire.

Cloudlb - I completely agree with you. There's a difference between how old we are chronilogically (sp?), and how old we feel according to our "inner clock". Even though I'm almost 36, I still feel about 24 (younger on some days).

Wray I'm not saying this to make you feel better but I've always thought you were a little younger than 28 anyway.

Awww, shucks planetred !! You are a liar, but thanks anyway!!!!!!!!!

I always thought that when you hit 30 you're officially an adult. Well, in my eyes at least since most people are settled into a completely independent and self-sufficient life. At 30, no one can really deny you're an adult. I'm 22 and I doubt my parents or anyone older than I am would really think I'm adult unless they were talking in the legal sense of the word. Plus, there's no way I think of myself as someone who's experienced a whole lot outta life yet.

Also I work with people in their 40s-50s so my definition of "old" is like anything past 60.

Hmm, could be that I have a crazy perception of "old" though! LOL.

wray, darlin', you are absolutely lovely!

*much hugs to you!*

She is awfully immature, isn't she?

. . . and some people never grow up

To be truthful, my motto for years has been "You're only young once, but you can be immature forever."

Great. Now, not only am I old, but I look older than I am(thanks chat!Grr), AND I am immature too....
I'm going to bed now... for a week or so at least ...

I heard old ladies required alot of sleep.... But a week?

LOL j/k with ya Wray (and you know it!)

Pr0s

Oh yeah, and I am 27, thank you all who said I was 28(on other threads too I believe) ... See, everyone thinks I am older than I am these days... Waaaaaahhh

* Runs off to get a bottle of chamboucin, a few bars of chocolate, a box of kleenex, and hide in her bed*

Old, immature, and apparently hormonal.

Just kidding, you know I love ya, sis.

well, just a note, and it's probably counter to the majority thought anyway--

see, I wanna be a latin professor, which is also not normal

but there's one woman on this earth who I want to BE when I grow up... I would consider myself unbelievably accomplished and wise and wonderful and-- if I could be just half of her. she's one of my latin profs herself, and my frosh year of college, she turned sixty. she's absolutely in her prime, and she's SO energetic, and wild, and crazy, and just... worldly. she can empathize with anything. so I see the peak of my life as being at the point she's at-- wonderful family, time to do as she pleases, enough money to be comfortable, and just... that's what I want. I would hate to be twenty for the rest of my life, and have only experienced what I've experienced thus far. so sixty... sixty's young. I don't know what all of you are talking about.

:hugs:

d

*Sniffle*

Come back. You forgot your bedpan... that's also the first time I've seen someone run with a walker! Wierd.

Pr0s

lmao @ pr0s

Nope she isn't, I have to agree with Red, that I would never have thought you were 28 either, sorry make that 27......hehe

*Smacks Pr0 upside his pierced head with her super cane*

No seriously I'm not! You look younger than 28, or 27, which ever one it was!

good grief, you miss alot when you have to go to work. :p

You guys all rule! Heck, we're all sexy, attractive people regardless of how "old" we are. All attitude, right?

wray - you're great.

Dammit myparox! I just stopped crying, and you go and say somthing nice ... Well, at least they are the kinda tears you get when you see a touching long distance commercial, and not the kind that I had earlier, ya know, the tears that wont stop and you feel like you have just been told your ass is too big for just one airline seat...
So, thanks myparox!!!
Only one problem. My attitude stinks smothng awful!

wray, honestly the first time i saw your pic, i thought u were about 20, maybe 22 tops. definately not 27 or 28.

that was either someone on crack or a diff pic. in your current pic i would say mid early twenties.
