???, the question about tattooing over scars, and a bit about me

Hi! Plus two things, well, maybe three...

1. I'm new in here - as of yesterday actually. Does anyone
consistently talk about body art or mods? There are a lot of insults
flying around, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's an "inside"
joke between members, or simply the internal culture of this group.
And no, I'm not being sarcastic or facetious. I honestly want to know
if this community is a good "fit" for sharing a common interest in
body art/mods.

2. Someone had asked about tattooing over scars. I have seen it done
and have had my own surgery scars tattooed over. It hurts noticeably
more, but besides that I haven't seen or heard of any ill effects.

3. As for me: I have about 30% total body coverage at the moment, and
am currently working on a lower leg "sleeve." (Why can't they come up
with a more suitable name for full leg coverage? In fact, does anyone
know of one?) Kind of lost my interest in piercing, and only kept my
belly ring and nose screw, as well as letting my ears rest at a more
reasonable (for work) 000 gauge. I belonged to the BME community years
ago, but the internal politics (along with the general direction of
the group) began to make me uncomfortable, so I drifted away. No hard
feelings mind you - and as always, I wish them well. Everyone has to
choose their own path.

So... that's about it for me. Hope to hear back from someone. (And
thanks for taking the time to read this.)
