Member Advice on Body Piercing

Piercing. The one word that, to many parents and parents of teenagers (particularly girls), causes massive arguments and shouting matches, protestations of independence, and replies of “over my dead body.” Ok, so the scene at my house wasn’t quite that drastic, but my mother had made it quite clear to me that the question of my getting my bellybutton pierced was out of the question. She didn’t see the need for it, and thought that getting any parts ...
...it’s a cultural thing), unecessary and tasteless. So we argued, but I figured it was all in vain, since I was too chicken to contemplate the pain invovled. Then, last summer I went on a study abroad program to France. I made friends with two girls who both had their navels pierced, and they assured me it really wasn’t that painful. Gradually, I got talked into the idea and plucked up the nerve to get it done. I wasn’t willing to lie or not tell my ...

Review of Member Advice on Body Piercing

Bodypiercing, where to begin. This thrill of a new piercing is overwhelming as a teenager. After one, you want another and another.. until you run out of places to get pierced. Once you hav gotten this far, or have grown up, the cheap thrill seems to evaorate, forcing you to move onto bigger and better things to acheive your thrills, such as tattoos and going to overage clubs etc. ----MY PIERCINGS---- I was an avid piercer a couple of years ago. ...
...I liked having more done than anyone else. I even did my own piercings on my ears (about 4 on each side). I pestered my mum for weeks at the age of 14, and eventually persuaded her to take me to get my belly button pierced. I was exstatic and was the first in my year to have it done. This however, did not satisfy me and instead pushed me to bigger and better things. Just after my 15th birthday I sneaked out with my friends and got my tongue pierced ...

Review of Member Advice on Body Piercing

Until Saturday 17th July 2004, I only had two pierced holes in my body and that was simply one on each ear. I actually tried to have a second hole pierced in each ear when I was about 16 and wanted to be young and trendy. However, a second hole was added to one ear with a gun; I was a total wimp, screamed in agony and refused to have the other one done! This hole then went on to become severely infected and eventually I gave up and let it close over. ...
...additional piercings to my body. I can’t even tell you when or where the first idea began that I wanted to do something so drastic to my body. Perhaps it’s indicative of determination to stay young at heart and in mind since turning 40 in August? For several weeks I’d been casually mentioning to my husband that I would really like my nipples pierced. I didn’t think he’d been listening or taken me seriously at all. But whilst shopping in Croydon ...

Review of Member Advice on Body Piercing

Naval Piercing also known as "belly button piercing" is very common with teenage girls. Ive always liked the naval piercing ever since i was 13 but i was also very scared of getting it done as i was told by many friends that its painful. A few people also commented on how it hurt to walk after the piercing as the pain was so bad. Now being 18 i thought it was about time i went for it and got my naval pierced! My boyfriend also wanted his eyebrow ...
...to walk into the tattoo/piercing shop. Walking upto the shop i had a nervous feeling inside my belly and my hands were cold, my boyfriend was also feeling a lil nervous. When we reached the shop we stood outside and looked in for about 5secs, it looked busy but we decided to go in just to have a look at the jewellery. We were asked whether we were ok by one of the tattooist and we just said that we were looking. The shop had a certain smell to it, ...

As a child I desperately wanted to have my ears pierced but alas my daddy said NO!! Howwever after successfully mithering the life out of him for years, and very craftily waking him up a 6am to make him promise I could have them done (crafty but effective as dad's never break their promises!), I eventually got my ears pierced at the now popular body shop, Vogue. I was 15 years old back then and it cost £10.00 as I am allergic to anything but gold ...

I never had any trouble with my first piercings, didn't hurt, never got infected and healed well. At the age of 16 I went to live in leicester with my nan, cut off long hair, bleached it blonde and generally rebelled against everyone (except my Nan she was amazing) and everything. So one night in our little bathroom I decided ...

****************************** CONTAINS NATURE OF EXPLICIT SEXUAL NATURES...well doh, this IS my opinion about genital piercings! Expect the worst. ****************************** First things first, you are all probably thinking to yourself that I must be one hell of a crazy girl to be writing about GENITAL PIERCINGS! And the first question(s) which is probably on your lips (excuse the pun) is: What sort of genital piercings has she got? *all ...

While all the other girls at school wanted their ears pierced, I was the one who was desperate to get my eyebrow pierced...I wanted to be different, I wanted to experience the pain, pleasure, the look, everything. I just had an natural and healthy interest in ...

As you all know I have recently had abit of an image thing going on. I have had some piercings recently and wanted to give some advice on it. I had my first piercing at the age of nine. Of course this was my ears and to most serious piercers is not really considered body piercing. I am going to go through each I have and also what's available from most good piercing shops. Using these shops are tattooists. I have since learned that piercers only ...

Now before we start I have had piercings go wrong so can advise on that also. I recently had a lambret i had to take out because a particular piercer did it in the wrong place it was far to low. It rubbed on my gums and caused a sore. Ok Ok on with what i have. EARS~ As said not really body piercing but done with a gun after ...

~~*Ears!*~~ I'm such a wimp when it comes to pain and said last time I would never have anything else pierced! Saying that its not like I've actually got a lot done! I had my ears done when I was six, and that was only because my best friend had had hers done and I felt left out! I then had a second lot of holes done when I was 11 because I thought it was cool and looked nice. Plus if I'm honest I really wanted my hair highlighted but wasn't allowed ...
...them done instead ( even if it was just to make a statement!) And then finally when I was 14 I had my ears done a third time. And this was because I actually wanted them done! I go through fazes when I'm really bored and I want to change something or do something different and in these cases I had something pierced! ~~*Takes 1-3*~~ So anyway fast forward a couple of years and I got it into my head I would like my tragus pierced (this for all you ...

I may not be the best person at giving advice on piercing's, as i only have 4 ( well 6, four earrings,my navel and my tounge) but i know people with an assortment of piercing's, so I know a fair bit and can give their experience’s too! I have had my ear's pierced twice, the first done when i was about a year old. I was a little fat baby, and people couldn't tell if i was a boy or a girl, so my mum, in her wisdom, dressed me in pink and got ...
...as i was only a little nipper, but i can remember the second time(s). When i was in year 9, a lot of the girl's were getting their ears pierced all the way up their ears, so i decided i wanted a go too. I didn't have much money, so i went to a cheap place that pierced them for about £5. BIG mistake! When you get a piercing, you are meant to be sat down in case the shock causes you to faint ( which i have also done, see later in the op!). They are ...

I would like to tell people of my experience with having my navel pierced – just incase any of you good people are considering, or know of anyone who may be having this painful procedure carried out. It is always best to be well aware of the things that can go wrong, no matter how small! I always fancied the idea of having a hoop through my belly button, it was the ‘in thing’ and I thought it looked good. I also then ignored the ...

One day a friend of mine was telling me how she was making an appointment at a clinic to have her navel pierced, as while she was on holiday, she had lost her belly bar and hence her piercing had closed up. “Didn’t it hurt too much first time round? … Aren’t you scared?” I asked. No she wasn’t scared, infact it didn’t hurt at all she claimed, and there was NO blood. My mind was ...

First of all let me be clear that this isn’t a definitive guide to body-piercing, in case that's what you're after. It’s more a series of anecdotes about me that might be worth reading as cautionary tales, if you’re considering doing a bit of DIY hole punching, or if you enjoy sniggering at what some idiots get up to. My parents, although not particularly strict, wouldn’t let me get my ears pierced when I was at school, so ...
...me. As soon as I went to college in Edinburgh at 16 I bought some studs, sat in front of a mirror, and did it myself, using the said studs. I got up to about 4 in each ear, all done using a stud. Now, this is a positively manky thing to do and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. I had numerous small infections in my lobes, they were often itchy and occasionaly smelly and more disgustingly, I even pierced other people’s ears with the stud ...

The reason this op came about was the recent outbreak of ops under ‘Member advice on tattoos’, so I thought – ‘I don’t have any tattoos (yet!) but I do have piercings, I know I’ll write an op an that’. And here we are to prove it! WHAT CAN YOU HAVE PIERCED? I have 3 piercings myself and know many people who have more and in a variety of places. There are numerous parts of the body you can get pierced now, these include: > Ears (The lobe, upper ...
...your face (I’m sure it has a name - it does the 'tragus', thanks rustifer)). > Eyebrows. > Nose (3 main styles, through the bridge of the nose, through the area between the nostrils and the standard either side of the nostrils). > Lower Lip (it is becoming common to have the lip pierced to the left or right of the middle). > Tongue. > The area of skin around the top lip (where men and old ladies have moustaches!) or bottom lip. > Fingernails ...

I was delighted when I found this section as it is something that I am quite passionate about. It is also an area where you will hear lots of different advice and experiences.

They can be removed but do in some cases leave small scars. There are risks involved and if its not something you are serious about then why take the risk? It will affect the way people judge you.

A lot of people say, "hey, if god wanted you to have holes in your body you would have been born with them." yeah I guess so, but if he didn't, would he have given us free will? What business is it of yours how I choose to "mutilate" my body? Apart from it looking good, it provides people with jobs as a piercer. I’m not trying to convince everyone to get piercings, I respect your decisions, but you can't use religion to argue against piercings. ...
