Piercings

[tRiP]

My oldest piercing is my eyebrow(started at 16g, stretched to 14, then went back down to 16 after a year) which I've had since 1999. Used to have my lobes stretched to 1/2", thinking of redoing them, also had my tongue done twice, labret stretched to 8g, septum @ 12g, 10g industrial.

I currently don't have much of anything pierced. Just the normal stuff for a girl: ears and bellybutton. I used to have what is sometimes called a "Maddison piercing" but it became infected and I had to remove it. Well, I was very stubborn about it and had to have it surgically removed by a doctor. It wasn't fun...

I wish I could have it done again but I work with birds and it was a constant battle to keep them from pulling on it. I can't have the back of my neck done either, for the same reason. The only other piercing I've ever wanted is a lip ring, but it's not allowed in my chosen profession. The Maddison was my dream piercing and I am so glad that I can say I did it, and wore the thing for almost a year before it finally had to come out.

(My friend wanted to practice henna on me; hence the snake thing)


Now I just have two badass scars there, and I make up all kinds of wild stories about how I got them when people ask me about it. It's totally worth it.

OOO I like that piercing lolz I dont know if I'll go after it though hehe

They really did turn out awesome. So wish I could get mine done
I also like the madison piercing that was posted earlier. I would just be afraid of getting it snagged and eventually ripped out. I'm hesitant when it comes to any kind of surface piercing or even the micro-dermals because of that risk. I had enough trouble with snagging my belly button and it now being slightly crooked after ripping it so many times in my sleep. And I caught my bridge a few times, but not enough to do any major damage luckily. I've also always been a little afraid of cartilage piercings, something about the idea of the crunch sound/feeling that I imagine just grosses me out. I was tempted to get a dermal punch in the top of my ear, but just couldn't go for it.
After a few days on antibiotics the swelling in my lobes has finally gone down a bit, enough so that they don't look monstrous. Can't wait for the healing to finish so I'll be able to wear my custom wood tear drops when they come in. I really prefer the way the tear drop seems to reshape my entire ear compared to the simple round plugs.

I had tongue for a long time, had to take it out for work. Had bellybutton...it got ripped out..never again. Had cartilage for only a few days before I had an MRI, for which I had to take it out, but it would not go back in afterward. So now I just have two regular piercings in my ears, and two tats.

inner ear indy aka a gate. worst pain ever! pain lasted for about a year.



used to have both ears like this:



i also had my nape done but had to take most of them out when i lost my job and had to get a "professional" job. i need to get some more done.

I currently have 12g base lobes and 2 left cartilage 14g, and two secondary lobes at 14g. My goal is to get my base lobes to 4g. We'll see.
Total of 6 right now. I want some kind of industrial in my right ear, I just took my boyfriend to get one a few weeks ago and he loves it.

i have 27... or around there. But nothing worth showing.

Took my lobes out, was close to 3/4 inch at the time for the lower lobes and had the ones above them stretched as well, but they were all encroaching and I was not willing to get scalpelled, but was at that point I was risking tearing. The others that I can show are upper lobes and conch.

The WORST were the conch piercings. I have 3 of them. They hurt like crazy and the cartilidge takes forever to heal. And the way they sit means they are always "rocking" to a degree (against your skull - and having them on both sides means you need to sleep face down or face up *grin*), so they never feel like they heal. You take them out and they heal up within a short amount of time.

That being said... they are still my favorite permanent piercings of any part of the body (when done right) as it looks like there is a silver ball just floating in your inner ear.

My other top favs are nape and trachea... and uvula. Not sure uvula piercing is still happening, but there was a piercer in NJ that was perfecting it years back and it was all shades of interesting.

Now that I say all that, I recall REALLY wanting to get my chin pierced, but never going through with it... really hot piercing.

I used to have my conchs' pierced. Those actually gave me tunnel vision and I love pain.
