Plugs, Tattoos, & Piercings Thread

i used to have orbitals at the tops of my ears and my nape done. had the labret for a bit. but now all i have is 2g lobes and my gate. every time i try to strech my lobes, they bleed. i plan on getting my nape done again soon.

Mine didn't hurt at all, but I admit to a few cocktails beforehand... not a recommended practice, fyi. ;) Most people say the tongue doesn't hurt anyway, since it has few nerve endings in the middle. It also heals pretty quickly, as after a week of swelling it's usually feeling fine. Most will say it closes quickly too, but mine is still open after not being worn for 12 years! :confused:

It's a piece of body jewelry worn in stretched piercings, among other things...

Tiff,
It didn't hurt that bad at all when the needle went through. I garlged with Listerine before the guy stuck the needle through and it really helped to numb some of the pain.

Ohhhh

Umm, uhh...

I have only one naval piercing but have been thinking about more. Kinda hard because of work so I can't get anything that really shows on a day to day basis if yall know what I mean...kinda sucks but oh well

Thought about getting some tattoos, but saw some friends get some (that I designed btw) and kinda got discouraged. I'm a kinda a wimp and they all blead a LOT.

I do make some (mostly tribal) tattoo designs though, and do henna. Kinda cheating but thought i'd mention it. Hard to find a friend that's a good enough artist to do anything on my back so I mostly do ankle designs on myself of dragons and snakes...

I'm not sure about most people's experiences but with both of my tats I barely bled at all, and I am a bleeder. From what I have seen, when it comes to good quality tattoos you shouldn't bleed a ton, just a bit here and there maybe. It usually seems the only time they bleed a lot is if the artist is going too deep, which usually results in a very blurry or faded tattoo by the time it has healed. But overall I don't think you should be bleeding a lot during the process unless something isn't right.
