Piercings

[Brenda Starrr]

What do you have pierced?

Do you actually know the technical name for them?

Where is the best place in your area to go for a piercing?

On a scale of 1 to 10, how much did it hurt?

[Brenda Starrr]

I have:

My ears (1st hole stretched to an 8g)

My nose

My nipples

My navel

I had others, but took them out.

I don't actually know all of the technical names.

We have Stikky Fingers, Harm City, and Saints and Sinners here in B-more.

Ears, nose, and navel did't hurt. The nipples were enough to make the piercer scrape me off of the ceiling with a spatula.

[Fierce Critter]

I have 3 piercings on my earlobe on each ear, and an additional piercing higher up in the cartilage of my right ear.

I had all mine done at places like J.C. Penney or earring stores at the mall. Have never had a single problem with any of them - and all were done gun-style. Back when I had them done, piercing studios as we know them today were not well-known. The most exotic piercing you'd see back then was the nostril - and that was only seen pretty much on East Indian women.

Scale of 1-10: I dunno. Too long in the past to remember. But I know the cartilege piercing wasn't half as bad as people said it was going to be.

[Guest MsMaldoror]

I have 6 ear piercings that didn't hurt much at all. Then again, I'll admit that I had the 1st two piercings when I was 10, and they did sting a bit. I'll give those a 4 on the pain scale.

I pierced my nose when I was 17 with one of those ear piercing kits that F&M used to carry back in the late 80s/early 90s. I tried not to think about it when I did it. But, I'll give it a 6-7 on the pain scale. A thick stud went through my nose flesh rather than a hollow needle.

Finally, I got my tongue pierced, which wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated. But, the week following the piercing sucked. My tongue SWELLED and THROBBED, even though I sucked on ice and drank lots of fluids. What can I say--I can be wimpy...

[squee]

i have my ears pierced 2 times each

with the bottom one at a zero i have

the cartilage pierced on both sides(soon

going to get an industrial in both sides

and i want both of my little nubbies done)

i have my eyebrow done my septum

my nipples and my tounge... so 11.

i think my nipples were the worst...

but that could just be because they

are the most recent done. my septum

was definitly not as bad as i expected.

and none of my ears hurt i did all them

myself throughout middle school.

and no i'm not big on technical names

hint* little nubbie things

-angie

[TearSandrille]

I have both sides of my nose done, my bottom lip, and my septum. And, I honestly can't remember if they hurt. The only thing I really remember is that I could feel the needle going through my layers on my septum. Which was a bit weird. When I got the second nose piercing I made the big mistake of not eatting much before I went and almost fainted twice. My piercer was really great though. I thought I'd be alright if I just stepped out of the room while my friend got hers done, and she followed me out there and made me eat some glucose tablets. And, when I left walked me out to the car and everything.

The nipples were enough to make the piercer scrape me off of the ceiling with a spatula.

I was just about to ask how the nipple piercings where, but I guess that answers that. Hmmm....I've been thinking about getting a piercing lately, but I don't think I'm allowed to visible ones. Which doesn't leave many options.

You guys have recommended piercers in the Detroit area? Maybe that should be a whole different thread...

[paradox]

no piercings, though ive considered doing the nipples on and off for a while now. im just askeered of having them get ripped out at work

[torn asunder]

i've got 9 - eyebrow, two ears, and three in the top of each lower forearm - going to get the back of my neck re-pierced soon, and probably both nipples as well...

[Brenda Starrr]

Nope. It's part of this one, SDG!

Where is the best place in your area to go for a piercing?

[Brenda Starrr]

I'm considering the mortician stitch

WTF is that?!?

[Vater Araignee]

WTF is that?!?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

5 to 7 piercing between the upper and lower lip

when healed you you drop to a smaller gauge with a larger diameter linking your lips together in a zigzag stitch pattern.

[Brenda Starrr]

Whoa. Sure makes eating....stuff really hard!

[Ginevra]

What do you folks think of more extreme piercings such as pictured below. (I'm mainly referring to the one on the bridge of the nose.)

[Vater Araignee]

I want them but I can't keep it straight and I'm not paying to get them crooked.

[Brenda Starrr]

Holy cow! That guy has some serious stuff. I've seen 2 piercings on the bridge of the nose before, though.

[torn asunder]

that guy's got nothing on my piercer... i'll see if i can get a pic of him to post...

[Brenda Starrr]

Do that, TA. I'd love to see it!

[squee]

i want my back pierced...

i've decided. but i just think

about how much it's going to

suck, and how much it would

catch on shit. plus i'm really

rough-if you know what i mean

and imagine that snagging.

ouch

[torn asunder]

i could see how awful of a decision

that would be

mine are freshly done and ive been

moving out of my apartment and they

catch on EVERYTHING! every time i

friggen pick up a box or a couch or a

dresser it kills. i've been doing the

braless thing and i'm not sure if i'm helping

or making it worse... it sucks

[Aralis]

I have my eyebrow pierced. I can wear about a 12 gauge in it.

I have my ear gauged out at a 2 gauge plug and then the other two holes are 14s. My other ear is just a 14 gauge.

I would get more but i cant wear them to work so. I would love to have a labaret piercing and a lip piercing.

[FarrIL]

Well, let's see here......

I have 5 piercings, but they're all in my ears.

In my left ear I have 2 lobes and one cartilage. Hole #1 is stretched to a 10gauge. 2nd hole is an 8gauge. My cartilage piercing was done at a 16gauge and then I had stretched it to a 14. But when I bought my 8gauge, I stretched the cartilage, THINKING it was a 12gauge. Actually, I accidentally gauged my cartilage to a 10.

Right ear has a 14gauge in the first hole and a 10 in the second.

As for pain...... when i got my first holes done, I was 3 weeks old, and from what my mom said how I was screaming of bloody murder, it must've hurt. I was ten years old when I got my second holes, done with a gun...... as far as pain goes, I'd say about a 5 or 6 out of 10. I gasped when the gun clicked but I didnt cry. As far as "exotic" piercings...... it took many people several years to notice that I had 2nd earring holes and they were like "Oh!! Tara! You have 2 holes?!" and I go "Yeeeaah......so?" I remember one time I even wore a mismatched earring and people that was interesting.

As far as pain on my cartilage piercing, nope, no pain. I was working as counter help at a local tattoo parlor and got a free piercing. I didnt even flinch when the needle went through. No pain ;D It occasionally feels a little uncomfortable if I tug on it, but not a big deal.

[lullaby1031]

I sadly only have 4 so far - 3 on the ears - all very slightly stretched - and my lip bottom left side. All of which didn't hurt, though I was expecting there may be a pinch - thats all it was. Nothing serious. Can't wait to get a hell of a lot more thats for sure! And they where done at Eternal Tattoos. I also have 2 tattoos but thats for another thread! :grin:
