Has anyone out there had anything pierced recently? I want to get something new done, but I'm not sure what. Some input from people who have "been there" would help. FYI I had my cartiledge done several months ago. It didn't hurt very bad but it took *forever* to heal. When they tell you to leave the stud in, they mean it!
My friend had the upper cartilage of her eir pierced for her 16 b-day...She got a staff infection that took months and finally an iv treatment of antibiotics to go away...
I got into body piercing about 7 years ago. I have four holes in each ear, my nose pierced, used to have a belly ring but don't wear it anymore, and last October I had my tongue pierced. My friend Sara has her clitoris pierced, but I think that is getting a little carried away, even for me!
My boyfriend got his nose pierced about nine months ago... he said that it hurt pretty bad - he was crying right in the store! Anyway, it doesn't want to heal and it gets infected a lot. That's probably because he keeps taking it out! Has anyone out there gotten their nipples pierced? I want to do it but I'm afraid of the pain! :) Anonymous, whatever you get pierced, my advice is go to a *real* store, not the mall or a needle-happy friend. A real place will charge you a lot, but they'll do a good job and you won't risk getting some weird disease from their needles.
I have two holes in each ear, and the upper cartilage in my left ear pierced. It looks really pretty. I still haven't taken the diamond out of the top one though, I'm afraid that it won't heal. When I lose a few pounds I'm getting my belly button peirced. So I'm really not daring or anything but if it looks pretty I'll do it.
Hi Shannon,
I've already had my ears pierced a few hundred times, but I really want my belly button pierced and maybe my tongue - but I'm really scared that they're going to hurt loads. How painful exactly on a scale of 1-10 is it?
Hi Just for kicks,
i pierced my nipple two days ago. my boyfriend did it. my advice: GET A PRO!

Owch.
My mate said nose piecing crunches!
It wasn't really that sore when I got my belly button pierced but the first time I looked down at it - I PUKED!!!!! You get used to it though and if you are considering getting it done, get a barbell rather than a hoop for the first few months..... trust me!!!!
Cyberchick, I got the top of my ear done. I went to the mall, where they use one of those piercing guns - no one agrees with me, but I think that they're better because it doens't take as long! Anyway, the piercing itself didn't hurt - it just felt like somebody thumping my ear. It got pretty sore after that - I won't lie, *really* sore. But I took good care of it, it healed up after a month or so, and now I'm glad that I did it. I say go for it!
Cheers Shannon!
I got my ears pierced four weeks ago, twice in each ear. I think the cartilage one hurt the most, but only after because it got infected once. If they give you stuff to clean it with, be sure to clean it! That's why mine for infected, because I skipped a few days of the cleaning....oops. :) It's all better though...
hey people
Hey Marsha,
Hiya!
PS
I have a barbell and it is soooo pretty! It has a little shiny blue stone which sits perfectly inside my belly button.
A barbell with a blue stone?!?!?!?!? Where did you get it? I want it already... not to copy you ao whatever, but WOW! Blue is my favorite color!!!!
I got my barbell from a piercing studio in Glasgow.... You get them in most body jewelerry shops though. When the lights reflect off of it - it sparkles!! DEFINATELY get one!!
Where's Glasgow? I have no clue... To write in red...
Star,
Well, that sucks for me... kinda far from Pennsylvania, in the US, eh?
/red{hello!} It wont work!!!
Sweetie... you are using the wrong slash. Use the one that goes \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ like these ones. not the////////// ones... Then it will work.. Trust me. It's the slash that should be above your enter key. K?
Thank you dahhhllling!!
You're welcome, dahhhhhhhhhhhling!
This may seem like a kind of dumb question to all of you graduates of Piercing Academy, but how do you wear a bra with nipple rings? Thanks
I don't have nipple rings or anything, but what don't you understand about it? don't you just wear the bra over the nipple rings?! sorry. :)
Ultraviolet: They say that it's hard to wear a bra over the rings at first, but after they're not sore anymore, it's okay... like talking on the phone with an earring in... it just gets mushed down. :)
Everyone should have thier belly button pierced it looks so funky on boys and girls. Just go to a proper person who does it. You dont want to get infected or anything.
I think it looks really sad when boys have their belly buttons pierced. Sorry!

I got both my nipples AND my tongue pierced
today. My nipples didn't really hurt,one second and it's over.
My tongue was a little painful,but keep in mind that you're only afrais for the seconds before you get pierced,and then it's already done.
GO FOR IT SHANNON!!
I already have my ears pierced (8 in each ear)
my belly-button,two in my nose,one in my eyebrow and one in my lip. I'm a little addicted :)
But for everyone who wants to pierce:...just go
for it,you feel SOOO great afterwards....

Well,I can't assusre you that it won't hurt,because it will. BUT,it will only hurt for
less than a second. You're scared......and then you're already pierced. You (of course) have to see a professional.
But the pain differnces from person to person.
I thought that piercing my tongue doesn' t hurt at all,but my friend screamed the whole place upside down......

I am obsessed with getting my tounge pierced. How do you do that if your parents are dead set against it. I also want my nose and belly and 3 more piercings in each ear.
By Discodolly on Monday, July 6, 1998 - 02:28 pm:
I don't know how you can get your tongue pierced but anyway, when I was at a piercing studio getting a new bellyring this guy was getting his tongue pierced and his parents were dead set against it so he phoned them from a phone box saying that he was getting it done and quickly put the phone down before they could respond!! There was nothing they could do.... it was too late. But if u dont wanna get killed by tour parents - i'd say wait until you are older!

Okay, lots of questions about pain here...
Well, as a pierced member of society, I guess I can share the words with you all...
I have 3 holes in each ear (but they keep closing, cause I'm lazy and I keep repiercing them and then taking the earrings out... then they close... it's dumb, but I can be too, so whatever...) and a navel ring. Hopefully I will get my eyebrow done real soon here...
Anyways...
With the belly button ring, I'll tell you how they do it...
First they rub some disinfectant stuff on your navel. Then they make you lay down on a table and relax. (Trust me, RELAX!!!) They then take a brand new hollow needle and a cork. The cork is placed in your navel to prevent the needle from coming through one side and going right back through the other.
Then my piercer said, "I'm going to count to 3 and I'm going to start piercing on one, two or three, but I'm not going to tell you which number so you don't tense up." (Let me stress again that it is very important to relax...) Then he put the needle through, along with the ring, closed it up and he was done. It was very quick and really hurt less than a cartilage ear piercing, and maybe about the same as an ear piercing.
It lasts about 1 and 1/2 seconds, maybe and is less sore than an ear after it is pierced. Mine only hurt for a few minutes after it was done, and it was very very mild pain anyways... more like a discomfort.
It was a bit sore the next few days, but only when I bumped it into stuff. It did get infected, but most people's do, and it wasn't anything really horrible... just a little bit of puss when you spun the ring... I got the stuff to clean it up and it worked great... The infection lasted about a month or two, but that's pretty normal and has happened to every other person I know who has thier navel pierced.
One thing I have to stress Go to a safe, prefessional piercer who has a good reputation and has proof of new clean needles. An ornament on your tummy is NOT worth risking a serious infection. I mean, do you really want AIDS or something else cause you were desperate to get your navel pierced?
Well, JHappy Piercings!

P.S. They never used a cork when I got my belly button done... She used a clamp (which is like a pair of VERY blunt scissors. i.e. Its has flat blunt ends, like sticks) to pull on the skin. This has a hole in it and she sticks the needle through the hole to pierce it. Also, make sure that you go to a reputable piercer who uses an autoclave and new needles. The piercing studio should NOT look dirty, it should look like a dentists.

I have three holes in my right ear lobe, two in my left, one in my upper left cartilage, and one in my belly button. My favorite is my belly button! :) I want to get my tongue or my eyebrow pierced someday, but it was pursuasion enough to have my mom let me get my navel done.
