Piercings

I have both of my ears pierced...once. I've had my right upper cartilage pierced before and it was sooooo irritating. They give you this crap to keep cleaning it with which I used at least 4 times per day... and I sware my piercing hurt all the time. I eventually got pissed and let it close up. It was too much of a hassle. I've heard that isn't one of the greatest places to pierce and can be easily prone to infection because of the lack of blood flow that the area gets....so I don't plan on ever having it redone.

As far as what I've wanted to get pierced..I used to want to have my navel pierced back in High School...but I've heard horror stories about having them if you are an athlete (runner especially) ...about a tearing feeling that you get when you run (and I happen to like to run)... and I forgot about it after I heard that. Plus I know I'd have to pull it out if I ever got pregnant. I'll keep it simple with just my ears. Anytime I think about things like piercings or tattoos the first thing I think about what about it puts me at risk for any kind of an infection...as well as how lovely its going to be when I'm 80...most of it doesn't mesh well on you as you get older.
 
Got my scaffold done, the piercings themselves weren't too painful but when he slotted the bar through and tightened the ends it stung like a motherfrickner. Didn't get any cleaning ointment stuff so I'm just going to use sea salt and hot water, still throbbing though. Heading to bed now for what is bound to be an incredibly awkward sleep.
 
I used to have piercings years ago...eyebrow, labret, tongue...they were cool for awhile, but I think I just got tired of them or grew out of them.

Watch out if your planning on getting your labret pierced. I thought it was the coolest, but I had a flatback for 3 years and it rubbed my gums the whole times, and now my gums have receded..be careful!
 
Ear has swollen massively in the last day or two and is causing serious amounts of pain, don't think my piercing has become infected though. Either way I have kept it seriously clean today and am pretty doped up on solpadine.
 
Some piercings I look at and think, 'that started off as an accident into a trend'.
Anyway, I used to have my ears and bottom lip pierced. :B
 
I did have both my ears laying host scaffold piercings, but i removed them and replaced the one in my left ear with an ear ring (and actual hoop) and i am currently wielding a 6mm hole through my left ear lobe.

the lobe i have had pierced for like Ever, parents got me it done when i was young, and stretching your ear doesn't hurt as much as everyone makes it out to be, as long as you do it at the right speed and make sure it has plenty of time to heal before going up in size again

i did used to have an Eyebrow piercing that didn't hurt when i got it pierced, but some guy started on me in a night club, and hey prestow, no more eyebrow bar, i will admit it hurt more when it was ripped out than when it was pierced.
 
I don't plan on getting anything of mine pierced. I just don't see the appeal in sticking a bit of metal in myself, even if it would be 'trendy'. The numerous horror stories and health risks also contribute to putting me off the idea.

Furthermore, I can't help but think things have gone a bit too far in terms of what is available. Ear, belly button and nose piercings? Fair enough, each to their own. Yet when it comes to piercings in terms of the reproductive organs, I just don't see it as anything other than glorified mutilation.
 
The new fad of piercing seems to be those God awful earrings that make giant holes of the lobes of your ears and I can't for the life of me remember what they are called. But they are just simply NOT attractive at all. It's a very dumb thing to do to your ears. I'm sorry to anyone who wears them, but it's just not attractive...
 
They're called plugs. I don't care for them myself either. I'm not sure how it caught on as a way to be a rebel/dumbass but it's a part of some cultures (mostly tribal African).

Personally, I don't have any piercing but I've thought about doing a triple lobe piercing once I finish Uni.
 
I have ear piercings. Nothing over the top, just studs.

I'm not really too big on piercings (other then ears) unless it's the naval. They are a major turn on :kinky:. Don't really mind tongue piercings, they are sort of neutral to me, but I don't like any other piercings too much.

I'm a bit more traditional when it comes to these things.
 
You know what else I don't get? Unmentionable piercings. I mean really... Who else is going to see that shit? Who are you trying to impress? Your sexual interests? Mutilating your junk with metal isn't that attractive :/

I don't think it's attractive at all. In fact, it's quite the contrary in my opinion.

And
What if it gets *snagged* :rage:
