I really want more piercing on my ears like conch punches, daith, helix etc but i have to wear iem and headphones alot and I have recently decided to start playing hockey:rolleyes:. Don't see alot of ppl with heavy piercing playing hockey, here's to hoping my 0g lobes stay intact lol

Go silicone, when I got to work I just pop the silicone tunnels in. They're high flared to stay in and really light weight. Exotic colors too. ;)

Can't say for airports, but I don't set off the metal detector at the court house lol

i have not but I only have lobes.But i have found my tattoo and lobes to be good dectectors lol.

In regard to sillicone, think it will stay in after a few body check and possibly getting snag by helmet straps?

I doubt it. Unless it could fully heal first. Getting hit and whatnot is just asking for rejection.

of course i meant full healed. Havn't skated in since i was 14 gonna need a at least a month or 2 to get back on my feet and stick and puck before I put on a helmet for a real game

Future Facebook Status Quote, thank you.

Lol lol.

My ears are at 32mm, 2 lip piercings(they are not called snake bites) septum and PA. Love all the names people have for piercings now adays lol. Snake bites, monroe, angel bites, dermal piercings. That is not thecorrect terms lol. But I guess the same goes for jewelry, the names just come out of no where lol.

I though those were the correct terms? at least according to bme wiki. unless they mis label them?

It in theory, should stay in. Mine haven't ever fallen out, period. The flares are pretty big, but they squish down to get them in or out. Takes effort to do it.

I like sturdy, with silicone ones they can fall out and go unnoticed till the end of the day. Plus they never make the silicone ones wide enough!! Just not for me :/ I've tried at least 10 and all 10 failed.

Buttttttttt, I am a larger size, I can see the silicone's working very well for smaller sizes.

I got my ears done back in the 90s and got up to 9/16s. My right lobe got ripped a couple of times until it was just a thin little piece of skin. A couple of years after that I just cut it in half with some scissors, got sick of it. :)

After all those years I can still get a pencil in my left lobe.

My buddy's at the size below one inch and he still wears silicones successfully. I can see at like inch+ it not being as effective.



That's too bad 3skulls, the best way to thicken your lobes is to go back down a size and then back up. Or, if you can make it, go up and then back down. It's best to do this at smaller sizes, like below ½ inch.

I still have my lip pierced twice but I took out the tongue frenulum because I got a tongue frenectomy in preparation to have my tongue split (which I never ended up doing). And the smiley fell out one night while I was sleeping and I couldn't get it back in the next morning. I've thought about getting it redone.

Why thank you! I need more tattoos. It's been too long and I have too much free space for them.

I now have to add septum to my collection hahah

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/28/re7e9ysa.jpg
Does that count?

So I finally got my nipples pierced! 12g with teal anodized titanium curved barbels. Hope this pic doesn't upset the mods since it does have a tattoo in it too. ;)

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/03/12/erysyre4.jpg

I feel the need to comment given my user name.. hah..
I currently have 20; I had to take my eyebrow out and i ripped out my top and bottem navel ones.
I still have 5 lobe on each ear (first set are gauged) then helix and tragus and on the other I have an industrial.
On my face I have snake bites and a medusa, as well as both nostrils and septum.
Eventually I'll probably get my navel done again and some more on my ears but for now im more focused on getting my tattoos finished up.

Really want someone to explain gauging to me.

Its like using your best judgement to estimate something. For example:
Kodieh is gauging whether or not Mike is beautiful.

The answer is yes, yes i am.

What you just described is stretching. I have my first holes stretched out to 8mm. I still want to know what gauging is...

Gauging is an incorrect term for stretching. A gauge is a form of measurement for wire and piercing jewelry. For some reason people have started to incorrectly use it to describe the process of stretching or enlarging the gauge of their jewelry.

I like gouging.

Gouging could be a very painful and violent way to give yourself a piercing. :D

What do you mean "someone"? I'd do it myself! Or let kodieh do it ;)

Ooh, super cool! Where did you get those?

I just got my second holes repierced in my earlobes just for fun, probably gonna get a third set done sometime this week just 'cause I can. I'm super mad that I can't get an earring through my cartilage piercing though, since I went through so much pain for it. :taz:

I haven't really taken many pictures with all of my piercings in (work in the ER as a nurse and on the ambulance as a paramedic which doesn't allow them), but the ones I currently have are:

Left ear:
x8 normal piercings (all the way up the side of my ear)

Right ear:
Industrial
Helix
Targus
x3 lobe

Facial:
x2 right nostril piercings (I've had these since I was like 13, got them done back home in italy. My cousins and I all have it haha.)

Navel:
Belly button

Other:
x4 clavicle microdermals, two on each side
x2 microdermals on back, that are part of a tattoo.


None permanent past piercings:
Corset Piercings

Retired piercings
Nipples
Eyebrow
Septum
Snake bites
Monroe

Future piercings:
x4 microdermals near my hip
A specialized orbital
A unique industrial in my left not exactly like them but similar (working with my piercer and the supplier about this):
http://www.isbodyjewelry.com/wp-cont...ontestants.jpg * picture 1in particular.
http://i.imgur.com/cixLu7D.jpg Pic 1 and 3
http://i.imgur.com/qUZuObR.jpg or this one, which is my favorite.


Future non permanent piercings:
4 point suspension hooks in my back.

** note about this. I was very sick for a very long time and diagnosed with cancer, which I have since recovered from. I had so many regrets about my life and not doing more things and being adventurous. When I got better I made a huge list of over 100 things I want to do before I die. Participating in a human suspension was on the list. Why? Human suspension scared me until I saw one in person and watched a friend do it who was laughing and playing around the whole time she was hanging. I realized just how mesmerizing it was. I feel in love. I have steadily been crossing things off of my list it for the past 2 years and this is my next item to cross off.


Pictures to come in the future!

I did a flesh hook suspension. It was an amazing experience and I've been wanting to go back up for awhile. There's something so powerful about being able to confront your fears and push yourself past (what you think are) your pain limits. I wish you the best of luck with getting your feet off the ground!

I got them from a kiosk at the mall =P I've been eye balking them sense I got my ears pierced and when I was there the other day this was the last set and they were 20% off because they aren't going to be selling them any more... I'm glad I snagged them lol

Thank you so much! I went to a tattoo convention earlier this year and part of one of the performances was a 2 point chest suspension. It was my first time ever seeing one live. Up until now I have only seen it in documentaries and in pictures which made the whole ordeal look scary and excruciating. Seeing it up close and personal though... I can't even explain how it made me felt. It was actually very beautiful and I couldn't look away.

Afterwards, they let non performers who had signed up earlier in the day get suspended by the 4 points in the back. I was too late to sign up but I got to watch my friend do it. She was cheesing the whole time she was hanging and doing funky karate chops, laughing, and letting us all push her around like a swing haha.

I am so stoked!

suspension look interesting but i dont think i will ever work up the courage to do it. I have 2 stretch lobes and i'm horrible at getting pierced. I would rather sit for a 10hr tattoo session than get pierce lol. Suspension hook looks to be at least 6g maybe even bigger, i had one of my lobe pierce at 8g and one at 0g both hurt so bad i dont think i can subject myself to such non permanent large gauge piercing again

What's the point of the suspension thing...? I'm not hating on it because i always say do whatever floats your boat but i don't get what you'd get out of it. It looks like it'd hurt a lot lol. Wouldn't parachuting or something give you the same sense of flying? If its a "because i can" thing, then thats cool too lol. Iwas just curious.
