I got my ears pierced at age 6 with a gun.
Nothing wrong with mine :]

yeah I got mine done wen i was 7..and mine has gotten infected.

Argh.
Clearly no one is taking notice of my point.
Of course you can go your whole life getting holes punched in you with a blunt gun and nothing happening, but there is NOTHING good about them. Nothing.
Experiences don't mean a thing.
Guns will never be competent peircing instruments in contrast to what should be used.
;/

well the gun scares me less

AGREED UPON ^^

I pierced my own earlobes, I ended up doing something funky, it ended up going purple and many other odd colors, my ears where in more then just pain for months, and I wasnt happy. learn from my mistake.. GO TO A PROFESSINAL.

You're crazy, insane and stupid. I do not and will not take that back.

I just got my cartilidge pierced about 2 hours ago and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It was about as painful as getting the earlobes done.

I'm not stupid to let you know I decided not to do my tongue till I'm eighteen and the girl at my school who does them does about half of all the tongue peirceings at my school so she knows wat shes doing and just so you know crazy and insane are basically the same thing.

Honestly it's not smart to have some one else do it who isnt professional, I don't care who she is or what she does but only if it's professional. It's not a good idea to do a " Do it yourself " piercing.

For Becky I think you asked about moving the ring around?

Move it back and forth every once in awhile, if you don't puss and dry skin build up and create it to stick or hurt. Just try and move it around a lot and clean it with H2ocean or your cleaning stuff that you have.

Ever heard of connotation?

Hey.. well i got my lip pierced today.. wasnt half as bad as i thought it would be.. a lot more painful than my eyebrown but not bad. And from what my piercer said to me.. lip piercings should be studs at first because since its newly pierced if you get a hoop it can heal funny and may split your lip or something so a stud allows it to heal straight so that when you put a hoop it its flexible to have either a hoop or stud.. but thats just what he said..

ouch lip piercings scare me. i mean the though of getting one.
because the skin tissue inside your lip is soft and tender and---ouch!

okay, i got my belly button done two months ago, and it's pretty much healed (i think), but i've got a little bubble thing around the top part....it's really grossing me out and i don't knwo what to do about it. or what is is, for that matter. can anyone tell me?

I believe a tiny 'bubble' normal with all piercings :]

haha yeah dont worry thats no biggie. it'll go away soon.

lol

You should see my piercings, They get huge bubbles all the time. Sux and they blow up some times, you can hear them blow up...

you can hear them blow up? weird.

As long as its not a blowOUT. xD
My sternum blew up before.
Just kinda went PFT.
o_0
Not too comfy.

What does it actually mean to 'blow up'? does it swell up and then...pop? It does sound uncomfortable..

It all depends. Sometimes the swelling just gets to a point where it needs to pop. It's not too common as most swellings can be treated with sea salt soaks, hot compresses and the like.
When it does happen though, wow it's disgusting. xD

I had my belly button pierced...my nose pierced...and the inside of my ear (inner conch) pierced..all of them got that bubble but sea salt worked wonders. I wish I knew about it before my belly button ring grew out and my body rejected it thanks to high white blood cell count. :-(

I got my lip pierced on the 24th
I love it to death, it didn't hurt at all.

pictureee
PLEASE excuse the webcam-quality picture.
It's the only one I have and I was in a hurry.

I like it, I think it suits you very well =]

I had my belly button pieced for my B-Day and it healed perfectly, i love it!

The lipring looks really cute. =]

I'm hoping to get a sceptum in a couple of weeks. (but it all depends because of school starting up and everything)

I've been itching for a new piercing since my sternum rejected last month.
Owchah.

sternum? how do you pierce your sternum?

Septum?

probably...i hope

Excuse my appaling spelling. *Septum.

Sternum's are pierced the same way as most surface piercings.
I was lying down when it was done so i couldn't see too much. It was marked, clamped, pierced etc.
Didn't bleed to much either.
I wasn't surprised when i had to retire it though, they generally have a high risk of rejection.
=[

ouch. STERNUM's are pierced OH as surface piercings.
I was like so they jam a needle in through the front and out through the back?!

LOL.
No that would be called a morphine shot.
xD

that sounds really painful. must have looked pretty cool though.
i want to get my belly button, eyebrow, and my lip pierced. i also want more rings on me ears. lol
yay!
lol
i'm really scared though =P so i'm going to get my boyfriend or my best friend to come with me.
its always good to have support =P

I got my Tongue Pierced, and the top of the ear hurt's worse then the tongue. I have my ears pierced 5 times.

A lot of people have said that actually.
My auntie said her ear cartelidge hurt more than her tongue.,
Probably because the tongue is just one, excessively long, disconnected-at-one-end muscle.
And cartelidge is undeveloped bone.
Yum/.
;D

I'm thinking of going into get my bellybutton peirced but im not quite sure. Can anyone tell me how much it hurt them? And it it was quick or felt like a long time. And i was also wondering when the pierce it how do they get the barbell in with the needle there.. if you know what I mean.

ok well it hurts less than getting your cardilage done and when i got it done, they like just quickly put the pierce in and thats it. The pain was really fast..the only thing that hurt was the clamp holding the area that i was getting the hole in.

Okay, thanks. I have my cardilage peirced and I didn't find that really hurt.. it burned for a few minutes but thats it.

okay im planning on getting my lip peirced this weekend, and i have braces. would that be any problem? and how long does it take for a lip peircing to heal

it takes 2-3 months to heal.

Braces won't be a problem, I had two lip rings and braces.
And 2-3 months to heal.

i got my lip pierced in june '06
and i have braces. it doesn't
get caught or anything. and
it takes about 2 months to heal
but i ended up taking mine out
a few times for soccer and things
but you really shouldn't take it out
until the 2-3 months because otherwise
it kind of hurts while putting it back in.



^ it doesn't hurt at all having your braces and lip pierced.

aw Its cute. =]

Aw it does look well cute.
I crave for a lip piercing, but my parents dont permit facial metal.
=]
So i just get everything else pierced.

Everything.

^ ^

Aharr.

I have my nose pierced, and thats the only thing my parents will let me get done. (plus reg ear piercing)
I want my monroe, inverse navel and industrial, plus some other htings.
Ive been asking for my inverse navel for so long, over a year or two, and she just wont give in.

lucky.

Well i'll tell you now, the majority of my piercings my father doesn't know about. =D
Unless he sees them by accident (which seems to happen on a pretty regular basis.)
Haarr.
My mother doesn't mind though.
If he was a bit more lenient i'd have all the piercings i want. =D
But right now i'm happy with what i've got (3 lobes on each side-first two are stretched to about a 10g, navel, re-pierced sternum and i did have some surfaces on my wrist but they rejected.)

=]

I want a surface underneath (when im finally aloud to get it done) my lower navel.
I only have 3 lobes on each side and a cartiledge (that dosent want a heal)
and left nostril.

Ow. my cartlidge took over a year to heal. (doesnt help i stretched it a size up)
=D
They're nast buggers.

Yeah I changed mine way to early and it discharges alot.

I don't have one, but am planning to get 1 on my left ear, or on both ears by this summer.

I just want to say I sat behind a girl in DE, and I loved her piercings. She had 3 on each ear. All at the bottom going up maybe an inch all together, evenly spaced with the largest at the bottom going up with another smaller one, then a small one. Hard do describe :/ but it was REALLY sexy and cool. Diamonds.

Alot of girls do that with gold hoops.
I need to get larger ones. The 3rd hole are still my starter earings from 4-6 months ago.
