I’d like to get rid of mine. At least I can’t see the damn thing.

The fact I know it’s there bugs me.
I have a few, not loads tho, got them long before they became 'trendy',
would like a couple more tbh,
Don't regret them, all represent different stages in my life, and were all thought about,
The only one i wouldn't have again is lower arm, as it's visible, my tattoos are for me, not for showing off, as many trendies seem to think.

I think these days you're definately a minority if you don't have any tattoos.
problem with 'ink' is it looks great to start with, and s***e a few years later
I'm generally pretty much in favour of any body modifications that people
want to do, but I did see something on telly the other day about a girl who had her belly button removed. Not that the belly button has much of a function, but why on earth would you wanna remove it? :shakehead

That's girls for you.
May I point out that I have never considered having mine removed. 
Had it pierced for a while, but removed - no!

Body piercing I have no problem with :innocent
of the vanity of youth! Why on earth would you want you belly button removed :slap
Can't be bothered with any of this stuff, though I nearly got a tat done when I was younger and into motorcycles. Only didn't get it done because I couldn't think of anything I would actually still want permanently etched into my skin at 60. Had the Celtic banding stuff been around at the time, I probably would have got that done. It's simple and doesn't look crap after 5 years.

My only problem with piercings is that mine take forever to heal! So far my triple forward helix project has taken over a year, and my conch took nearly two years. My body doesn't like metal...
Both of those are tricky areas SSS, stick with it, they'll get there

As I understand it the primary healing takes 6month and full healing takes approx 18months. So you're not that abnormal (although steps may or may not wish to confirm that :innocent )

I have no idea,
I'm not even sure I'd want to know, :|
I'm pretty covered with ink, and with steptoe in that I don't regret a single one. Even got one or two on my legs that I did myself and don't look great, but I love them as they each represent a time in my life, and I'm able to look at them and remember. I don't wear a wedding ring as I react to the metal, so just got the palm side of my finger done - it's hidden to most people, but it's there for me to look at.
I would like to try PTFE just to see if that makes a difference, but I don't think that would be suitable for a forward helix.
I got fed up with my never healing conch so I put my ptfe bar in from when I had my tongue done and that worked
