Piercings

[Floyd]

What does everyone have pierced? Want to get done? Too scared to get done? Had in the past?

Me, I only have snakebites at the moment (ring on either side of my lip) but I want an industrial/scaffold, nose ring, bottom navel, conch, orbital, possibly a double tongue/tongue web.. And I'll maybe get my lobes done at some point in my life..

Everyone? Post pics if you like?

my mom had my ears pierced when i was 3 weeks old because people thought i was a boy baby. after that i think they just thought i was a boy baby with pierced ears.

i got the cartliege at the top of my ear (no clue what that's called) pierced in venice beach while ditching school my junior year of high school. but it just wouldn't heal so i took it out after about six months of infection and annoyance.

i got my tongue pierced when i was 21. hurt like a bitch, despite the fact that the people in the shop (and everyone i'd asked) said it wouldn't hurt and would just be "a bit" sore for a couple days afterwards. i was holding my exgirlfriend's hand when i had it done, and she had on a couple of rings. the next day her fingers were all bruised where i'd squished them together so hard. i couldn't eat for like a week, and once i was able to i cracked one of my molars while eating pizza. for some reason i kept the fucker in for another five years and then one drunken northampton pride night, i swallowed the top ball and couldn't find one of my back-up barbells so i just took it out and let it close up. i miss playing with it every once in a while.

i think i'm all done with piercings.

^I've always been told tongue piercings don't hurt that much as well! Weird. How on earth did you crack a molar?!

[Foomatic]

Oh, I feel ya on the tongue ring, ktv. My tongue was like a sausage afterwards, and for the first week or so I had a bottle of water and sea salt to wash my mouth out after I ate.

Mine fell out one night at work . . . when I finally took my break to put it back in, the hole had already started to close . . . so I had to shove it back in. Ouch.

I kept mine for about a year, and I miss playing around with it too.

Got my ears pierced when I was a wee baby.

[LesbianJedi87]

have fun with holes in your face for the rest of your life aimee!

get your eyebrow pierced and we'll talk! haha

[kisstheviolets]

How on earth did you crack a molar?!

after the swelling goes down you have to put in a shorter barbell (they put in a long one initially to accommodate the massive fatness of your tongue upon piercing). well i was eating pizza not too long after getting it pierced, hadn't put the new barbell in yet, and bit down on one of the balls while chewing and bam! chunk out of molar.

I've got my ears pierced when I was 13/14. 3 holes on the right, 2 on the left. And some years later, I suddenly couldn't stand metal.. No matter which one, Silver or gold infected me as well as surgical one. So I tried wooden ones, and it gave me a hard time. Plastic too. So I just finally gave up and let them close up. Sometimes I have my piercings hurting a bit as if I was still wearing some earrings, but I don't know why I suddenly became so intolerant to them.
I won't try piercing elsewhere for sure.

[Floyd]

That's really weird that surgical metal caused a bad reaction in you! You'd think it'd be fine for anyone. Did you try titanium?

ktv: That must have freaking KILLED. I bit on the bar in the my a lip times. It hurt. :(

New piercage I got today. It hurt. :( :

I've always wanted to get two piercings on my bottom lip, but I'm only 13 and when I told my mom that I wanted it she freaked and said "Never, never, never"

My sister pierced my belly button a few days after my 21st birthday, wanted that for a really long time but my mother didn't allow me, my father told me to get it done anyway, without permission, if my sister would do it for me ... she did, it was her first piercing (she's a professional now, she was in training back then, I was part of her training )

Soon I want her to pierce my nipple too, only my sister is allowed to do things like that I won't have a strange man do it!

(I got a tattoo too, which was done at Hanky Panky in Amsterdam)

[thiswomanswork]

I got my ears pierced at the mall when I was 28. I was terrified, because at the time I still had a terrible, terrible needle phobia. But it was fine.

Then last year I got my left eyebrow pierced as sort of a celebration of self. And if I hadn't already gotten past my needle phobia I'd have never managed it. lol. Got a ring in there; not a fan of barbells, really.

I've occasionally pondered nipple or bellybutton piercing... but I'm too chicken for the first, and not happy enough with my stomach for the second.

[She_is_the_strangest_girl]

my mum only let me get my ears dont when i was 15! that was after 8 years of begging since all my friends got theirs when they were like 7/8,

then i got the top of my ear pierced when i was 16 which i have since removed as my ear was attempting to grow around said piercing,

at some point i got a second hole in my left lobe, but it was too close to my origional hole- thus made earings hard to wear, so i took that one out & got re-pierced a bit futher away which i have kept in- that took like forever to heel up too, like nearly a year!

i got my lip pierced, but after a seriouse argument with my mother & step dad, it got removed as i would prefer to live for free under their roof for just a little longer, plus when i go top uni i can get whatever i want:D

although ive put my name down for giving blood & you cant give if youve had a resent piercing, which is annoying, but i do understand why

ooh i stretched my ears, i regret that, i had my right one to 1cm & my left like 6mm but now if you feel my ears (mainly right) you can like feel where theres a hold in my cartilage- its a little unplesant & if i wear heavy earings for a long time my ears begin to resemble a bloodhounds

i kinda want a surface piercing on my hip & although my friends joke that it will pop out coz im skinny, i think id probably forget about it & catch it, still thinking about it tho

Sweet topic! lol, its nice to see all the body mods everyone has. Currently I have my lip, left nipple and 3 ear piercing. I had my eyebrow pierced but I took it out. I miss it a little. I am planning on getting my bridge pierced after Christmas but we will see if that happens. I have 3 tattoos and perhaps getting my fourth also after Christmas. Two are leaves, one on my colar bone, the other on my foot. And the third on is a name of a character from my novel that reminds me of just the messiness of life and love and all the light it brings. Id show ya all but I have no idea how to put pics on here!

[Dorothy]

I'm still arguing with my sister, she doesn't dare to pierce my nipple since she hasn't done piercings for months now.
She did my first without any expierience so she might as well do this one too.

[Kessari]

I got my ears pierced when I was like 18 months old...
When I was 17 my best friend and I wanted to get our eyebrows pierced. In the end (since I was not of age by then) my dad paid me like 150 bucks so I wouldn't bug him anymore with that stuff lol. My friend got her nipple pierced and well I'm 22 now and still considering to get my left eyebrow pierced, but I'm scared of needles. Need to get drunk first!

[mmmh-Hot-Sauce]

I have two peircings in my left ear one above the other. Another one in my right ear. I also have the top of my cartalige peirced in my right ear. I have the left side of my lip peirced and thinking about getting snake bites. Along with all that I have both nipples peirced and thinking about getting a surface bar between my cleavege since I dont really have any. lol.

I got my ears pierced when I was 5/6 I want to say. Wore them for a while but getting me to wear jewelry is next to impossible. So I don't even remember the last time I used them. There's still a hole but I bet if I tried now I would have to kind of remake the hole. Haha. I just say that non gold makes it infected, which is true, but more importantly I just dont like jewelry

[BentBrokenTheory]

the most outlandish piercing i have is the industrial. Its painful for a few seconds but then afterwards its good to go. It healed really quickly for me even though, most people told me thats not common.

[JustSkipIt]

I have three holes in my ears (1 right, 2 left). I got the first two when I was eight. My mother had a rule that we kids could get our ears done when we were ten but she decided to get mine done a year early. And then I got mine a month before I turned nine because we lived in a really small town and were driving to a city for new school clothes anyway. I've gotten 3-4 other ear holes done and let those close or switch ears or whatever so I don't even remember when I got the one that I still have.

4 years ago I got my nipple pierced. We kind of talked about it and then did it a little spur of the moment. It hurt more than I thought. Also it just didn't ever fucking heal up. I thought ok, 8-10 weeks or whatever. But I washed it like I was supposed to and it just never healed. I wanted to play with it but every time we did, it hurt for days afterwards. Finally after 9 months, I woke up one day and it was just gone. I found the jewelry in the bed and went looking for my wife. We had company so it was about an hour before could try to get it in and by that time the hole was completely totally absolutely closed.

I really miss it and I've been thinking about it a lot lately and wanting to get it done again.

Ive Got My ears done and my tounge

But i have had in the past

My lip
My eyebrow
bellybutton

but latley been thinking about taking my tounge peircing out

[Yours]

Well my current piercings are my ears and my nose.
I had my belly button pierced for years but then for some reason it just decided to reject, I have no idea why.
I REALLY want my nipple pierced but it supposidly hurts like hell.
I can handle tattoos but I'm not good with piercings at all!

[CrazyTaraWitch]

Awhile ago my sister and I were talking about getting our belly buttons pierced, but she's only 15 (and was 14 at the time) and so she couldn't without permission which my stepmom wouldn't give her. I still think about doing it myself, but I'm not sure I'd be brave enough on my own. Maybe someday...

[Dorothy]

Better not do it yourself, it's allready kinda hard to do right on someone else and if you don't dare to push it through in one quick movement you're going to be in a hell of a lot of pain.
And additional danger of infecton *blahblah, anoying preaching thingy*

I waited 10 years before I could get mine done, but it was worth it.

[singgirl]

What I currently have:
left nipple
3 12 guage carlige piercings in each ear
tongue

What I've had:
right nipple
several more in each ear
labret
*sigh* I miss the labret piercing, but it was slightly off center and was dragging down my gums, I had to get rid of it.
