Just got a madison piercing

Woo. Well I think it looks pretty cool. I'm such a wimp when it comes to piercings, I don't even have my ears pierced...and yet I have 4 tattoos. Go figure. Evidently in my brain someone drilling into me with a needle for 1 hour+ is not as bad as one quick jab. :confused:

One piercing I do like but would probably be too chicken to get is the corset type piercings...I vote you get one of those next, so I can live vicariously through you! :gj:

Oh and I feel you on the boyfriend thing...my hubby doesn't really like my tats (they aren't "girly enough") and he hates the one I have on my bicep because it's "manly." My body, my art, my choice...I had em when you married me, so you knew what you were getting, buddy! :)

Awesome! Piercings are sweet. I only have my ears done (10 gauge) but I want to stretch them more. I always liked madisons.

uhm... wow! all I can say is ow. I looked at the picture and could feel it in my own skin and just said ow ow ow. kudos to you for getting something that you've wanted for a long time. its not something I would personally do but as long as you like it, and you have no problems healthwise with it.. then thats what counts.

::walks away holding her own throat muttering:: ow ow ow ow ow ow

Everyone at work today was just, in shock. No one knew what to say and people started talking to my neck. LOL They couldn't even hide the fact that they were staring. I started covering it with my hand and made it look like I was just rubbing my jaw or ears or whatever while they were talking to me. I didn't want to gross anyone out, even though it's not red, puffy, or otherwise disgusting. People just don't know how to react to it. My boss was the only one who thought it was cool. Go figure. :rolleyes:

KJlegend - I wasn't looking to be judged, just thought that the people on here would appreciate this kind of thing whereas most people in my "real world" do not. Also, as far as the job thing goes, I am completely aware of that, and feel that this piercing can be hidden easily enough, or otherwise disguised so that I will still be able to find a decent job. I have refrained from piercing my face for this exact reason.

To everyone else, thanks for the comments and kind words. :)

No I assumed you most likely looked into and thoght of every aspect of how this would affect your way of life, with work and how people look at you and treat you before getting this done. I was not trying to attack you in any way what so ever so I apoligize if I sounded harsh. My whole point was to defend the person who initially commented on it, because they werent trying to be rude-at least from my point of view- but they were just stating an opinion and thats all it is, is an opinion which only matter so much. But again I will apologize if you took it personal at all because that is not the type of person I am.

That one's not for me, although it looks like it took to you very well and without too much trouble, looks great for a new piercing.

A lot of people gave me similar responses when I got my nipples pierced.

And Connie automatically jumping to making troll comments... way to be.

Oh I love it...absolutely Gorgeous!

I am dieing to get my Nape pierced...that picture/thread just makes my patience thin :rolleyes:

Wanted to post an update.

After the initial crusting over period I ended up stretching one hole (I like to pick at things...) But it's finally healing back now. Should be completely clean within a month.

I completely understand why you would say that because there are some piercings I feel the same way about. But this was just something I wanted, and since *I* like it, that's all that I'm worried about. :gj:

that is the best responce to a person who does not like what some one does. i have had piercings but had to take them out for work reasons and have since started passing out at the sight of needles ( go figure ).. i think if you are brave enough to do it and you like the way it looks on your self, all power to you!!
