Just got a madison piercing

Um, Why? That looks nasty! No need for it...

Actually, that's exactly what my boyfriend said to me. He basically told me I "wasn't pretty anymore". But I know that's just the initial shock. Some people like them and some people don't. 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.

wow. that's pretty blunt.

of course there's no "need" for it...but individuality is a pretty cool thing in this country

Unfortunately though individuality in this country is usually prejudged. Most people especially in any type of business atmostphere (where I plan to spend my career) will look at you and never take the time to understand you. I personally dont like this type of thing but I can certainly understand why the previous person said what he said because of just that. Good luck with the piercing hopefully you can keep it clean etc...

My point being each person has their own opinion especially if the original poster puts herself out there for people to judge her from this one picture especially on a snake forum.

I like it. It is amazingly not red or irritated looking at all considering you just had it done! I really like the ones that you can get at the nape of the neck too. I don't like all of the piercings that are embedded in the skin like that (I know there is a name for them, but I forget what it is) but that looks pretty cool. Mostly I don't like it when they don't put them deep enough and you can see the bar through the skin--that just messes up the look.

mlededee - I also dislike when you can see the bar through the skin, and I'm thankful that mine came out the way it did.

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.

That does look nasty in a painful kind of way.

But to each there own i'm about to get a tat on my neck and head.

I don't think anyone called her anything. I for one think it's cool just looks painful.

[Mindibun]

lol - "don't tell her she's a troll or something". Thanks for standing up for me but honestly, I'm expecting to get a LOT worse than this from my own family. lol and I completely agree - no one has called me anything.

mlededee,

Your probably thinking of micro-dermal anchors. My uncle owns a tatt shop. They r anchored under the skin and you can change out the heads. Got a prince albert and lots of tattoos myself so I am no one to judge lol you go mindibun
