I love going to Disneyland but because I have really big plugs I get stares, ppl that try to sneak pix, and I always get the eww wispers behind me. Now I understand that this was my choice and in my profession it's totally exceptable. Just wondering am I the only MWer that has such a body mod and have you experienced this and what do you do?
I plan to leave this world the same way I started out - wrinkly and unable to wipe my own butt. Thats it. - HotDiggityDogDaddy

I'm hideous. People snicker at me and they don't think I know. But I do know. I KNOW!! - BLG

I have a different story on mt stares. No body nods. But i use a mobility scooter and im only 27. People stare and i have even heard people say stuff like i use it because im fat. Which granted im a fluffy girl. That's not the reason. I have multiple health issues. That's why i have it. Regardless of body nods or disabilities no one should stare and say stuff if they dont know the back stories. Granted i might look at someones nods i wouldn't stare. I think some are cool. But would never do it to myself. - ImAlwaysCrazy

Oh Carmen! I don't mind if you're staring out of morbid fascination for my hideosity (is that a word?)! - BLG
1049.5 #81 12:28AM
@ zipity haha really I'm understanding that ppl aren't really used to it so that's fine it's just I have caught ppl trying to snap photos and then try to play it off @ImAlways I'm sry that you have to deal with that I'm a fluffy guy and I think that adds to what I'm talking about but the way I see it I just try to go about my day and have as much fun as possible - gabenieto86

I like to people watch and I like to see different types of people. Not all stares or comments are negative. When you had it done you knew people would look. If you've got it flaunt it. Not u Hd3 - Jessica

@CMBaloo that I know of no. @Jessica yes I knew that they would be a very talked about subject and I'm lucky that I tattoo and am a body piercer so I can keep my ears forever if I like - gabenieto86
9.7 #6838 12:38AM

Butter, look at his profile shot. Although I have to admit when you said plugs, I was thinking hair plugs... - Polkadobo

P.S. what is your profession? - deadmou53
38.6 #4031 12:38AM
Yeah spencer ani always make the most of our days at Disney! Im happy to be there with the mani love! We have fun regarddles of the stares. When people do stare i stare back lol. If they have an issue with it i will tell them what's up. I have no shame. Im disabled and its not my fault. So i will let people know what imperfections i have. Then may've they wont stare at the next person in a wheelchair. My faves are kids staring. They dont understand. Lol i had this baby staring at me this past weekend and i was looking at her and i would play with the scooter make it go forward and backward and she was loving it had the biggest smile and cutest laugh. - ImAlwaysCrazy
646.4 #166 12:40AM
Why would people stare? That's obviously a decision you've made. If you don't like, it stop staring, right? I wish body mods were more accepted in society. Then I could go through with my tattoo ideas. - craziemutant
109.6 #2904 12:43AM
I have tattoo's and I hear people talking all the time about how nasty someones tattoo is and of course I'm standing right next to them and they like to tell me my tattoos are amazing. Whatever it dude. People arent going to understand. 3yrs ago I had inch sized plugs, dread locs down to my butt and tons of tattoos. Now I still have the tats and my ears shrunk back to 1/2 and I cut my hair a 2years ago to look more professional once I lost my job. Now I'm a photographer and a mom. I wear shirts that cover up most of my ink but as an artist I can get away with some more thank others. People will always judge what they don't understand - Smart.tea

@deadmou53 I'm a tattoo artist an I also to body piercings - gabenieto86
9.7 #6838 12:46AM
Ok, I love starring at peoples tattoos! If you don't like it, do t get them! I love tattoos and often try to figure others tattoos out! Usually I will say " nice work" or something. But one time, a guy looked Like he was gonna beat me up for starring! Whatever dude! Go for it! Hahaha!! - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #923 12:47AM
Forget them! They don't matter. I had plugs once not big ones but I believe a size 2 or 4 n my friends would make fun of me. I would always say "it's mind over matter I don't mind and you don't matter" lol. - CMWalker
323.3 #506 12:48AM
ya cuz you don't get tattoos to be noticed - cesium55
529.7 #215 12:49AM
I have a bird tattooed on my chest. As a lady I probably should've also included - I understand your just staring at the bird. - Smart.tea
205.4 #1546 12:50AM
Awesome. That's what I need to do and by need I mean I've wanted to ever since I started drawing but I have no idea how to get started. - deadmou53
38.6 #4031 12:50AM
I'm still worried about poor butta, did he ever understand? - mochamistie
272.8 #798 12:52AM
Yes he did. He has a needle and a couple of nickles in his hand to get started. - BalooTBear
904.3 #97 12:56AM
smart tea!!! Sorry for starring!!!!I promise I was looking at the bird!!! - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #923 1:01AM
@ deadmou53 ibwould be more than happy to help you get in the right direction - gabenieto86
9.7 #6838 1:02AM
That would be great! Would you rather email or something else? - deadmou53
38.6 #4031 1:05AM
Gab, where are you located? Do you have website with work on it??? - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #923 1:08AM
I used to work at a record store. Trust me plenty of people have stared at the bird. Lol. I'm not naive so I knew putting a big picture up there was going to bring more attention but I love my bird so I don't care - Smart.tea
205.4 #1546 1:10AM
@deadmou53 my email is gabenieto86@yahoo. @zipity I'm in long beach and I have some work on my Facebook I've been tattooing for a little under two years while I go to school - gabenieto86
9.7 #6838 1:13AM
I'm going to email you too! I'd like to see your work! I have alot of work I'd like to have done! - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #923 1:16AM
I love people watching! Also, being a nurse it's a habit to "assess" people. I can't help it, its in my nature lol. But my family always tells me to stop staring!! hahaha But I love to look at the art or the amazement of whatever it is good or bad. Like the lady in my post office....umm she shaves or waxes off her eyebrows and colors in HUGE ones up on her forhead and you can see the red marks from where her originals are. I can't help but stare. No judgements just may not be for me but amazing art whether it is tatoos or piercings. One of my daughters has many tatoos and many piercings. I would just look back at people and smile. Not everyone is going to like the same thing. - SupremeLeader
393.9 #338 1:18AM
First off I would like to thank everyone for the support and for letting me know about all of Ur experiences and @ zipity I u put my email into facebook you should be able to find me but feel free to email me - gabenieto86
9.7 #6838 1:19AM
Thank you. I emailed you, now I will look for you on face book. I've been
Looking for a new artist, not happy with my current guy! - Zipitydoodahdad
258.1 #923 1:25AM
I don't get it. You know u stand out in a crowd so enjoy the attention. If people try and snap pictures, I say pose for them. Don't be surprised if you hear eww wispers, I'm sure your family has said worse, I am sure you thought eww if someone before. Lol It is human nature to be curious, as long as people aren't hateful. If a man in a 3 piece suit came into your place of business you would probably stare too. Lol if I see u in the parks, I want a picture with you and Mickey!! - Miki

When I read this, the first thing that came to my mind was your hair, or lack there of. But now I know your talking about those giant things you put in your ear. Which I think look very painful. - MagicalCaprice
480.6 #246 9:03AM
Hey whatever floats your boat, but if you go out of your way to make yourself physically stand out don't be surprised when people take notice and react. I mean, that's the point isn't it? - Zooter
1361.7 #58 9:07AM
@gabenieto86 Where in LB are you? I've been wanting to get a Disney inspired tat for my kids. Do you do/draw custom work? I could give a list of things I've gotten stared at for, I usually say something sarcastic to whoever's staring and my LB side comes out. lol - LBChica
1499.6 #51 9:14AM
Awww don't worry about those people!!! YOU love it and that's all that matters! Next time they snap a pict just say stand next to me I want one too! I got super bright pink hair and tattoos my ears are only a 0 I'd love to go bigger but I'm not up for the stretchin burn haha it's always been positive but looks from the older folks are always funny I just smile! - rachyboo
72.7 #3358 9:15AM
I've been guilty of staring, for me it's fascination. I've got 20 questions, none are judgementally intended. I'd never try to sneak a photo though. I've been known to ask for photos of tattoos though!! My kids hate it when I do that. I have 6 ear piercings and a tattoo. So I'm not "normal" (not the correct word, but i cant think of the correct one) either. - JenAnneWho

People are people we all look and comment out loud or to ourselves. It could be the head to toe ink girl or the little old man getting his groove on. It's what we do with the comments that makes us who we are. I say love yourself and embrace who you are. Who cares what anyone else thinks if your happy. - PopcornYeti
377.6 #359 9:26AM
I use to get them for my plugs and septum! But now I have taken out my plugs and am getting my the holes sewn up, kinda have to in order to be a CM lol. Just wait another 10 years and nobody will think anything of them! - hXcDisn3y
