What do you guys think of...

- Belly button piercings? Do they hurt and get infected easily?
- Second ear piercings? Is it better pierced on both ears or one?
- Cardlige piercings? Better to get one in the middle or the side of your ear?
- Nose studs? Get it or leave it?
- Tongue piercings? Ew or Aw?

Also what are some piercings that you have or are interested in having?


Nah, I don't wanna get all of these piercings. Just wondering what you guys thought of them.

...Whoohoo, my first thread! ^_^

i hav 13 in total and i will get one more in christmas and i'll pierce my ears randomly when i get bored so i'll get more

i have....

5 - left lobe (0ga,12ga,18ga,18ga,14ga)
2 - left ear cartilage (16ga,6ga)
4 - right lobe (0ga,12ga,18ga,18ga)
1 - top navel (14ga)
1 - center tongue (14ga)

everything except for my 2 lobe piercings, my bellybutton and tongue are self-pierced

i will get...

1 - bottom navel (14ga) for christmas

i can pierce my ears as much as i want but other than dat, i need parent persmission. however, i pierced my tongue and navel without asking and got in a lot of shit. but i dnt care, haha

and i also want...

2 - left eyebrow
3 - labret (similar to a lip piercing... but closer to the chin)
2 - tragi, one in each ear. (plural of tragus... the tragus is the lil flap infront of the ear canal)
1 - center tongue, i want another one behind the one i hav now
1 - industrial (two holes connected with one piece of jewelry)
1 - nostril (left, right? doesnt matter much to me but maybe right if i hav two left eyebrow piercings)
2 - rook in each ear (the hard cartilage thing popping out of the conch. very hard to xplain without a diagram cuz many people make mistakes with the rook and daith)

my mom said i can get my nostril pierced however my school doesnt allow facial piercings which really sucks... and i go to a private school and stuff so its really annoying ...

i hav a tongue piercing and it wasnt any trouble at all. its the easiest piercing to take care of because it heals so well cuz itz in ur mouth. its so easy to clean, u just hav to rinse your mouth with mouth wash (e.g listerine) at least 2 times a day and dats all. for the first few days, your tongue will swell up to about twice its original size so u'll hav trouble eating and talking. the first day i didnt eat anything at all... it was a uncomfortable to swallow saliva but it was totally bareable. the second day i ate yogurt... and slushies are really good too or jelly. and noodles are very hard to eat for the first two weeks. most people think the piercing will sting when u eat salty stuff but NO, the piercing does not affect your sense of taste AT ALL so dnt worry. and i had a lisp for about a week. but everything is fine now... all gud. and it was so unpainful, i didnt notice the needle going through. my bellybutton was more painful than my tongue. and my ear cartilage was more painful than my tongue. the tongue is the most least painful piercing and it can be proved medically.
the bad parts of having ur tongue pierced... is that u mite get gum erosion if the piercing isnt placed in the correct place that fits the anatomy of your mouth. so the jewelry (barbell) will rub again your bottom gums and they will erode... very slowly. how dripping water can dig a hole in a rock... very slowly. to prevent this, go to a professional piercer and once the piercing is healed (bout two weeks), you can change the jewelry and get acrylic (plastic) balls instead of metal ones if you're really worried bout ur gumz eroding. but this is really rare... so dont get worried. theres a lot of people with their tongue's pierced and most of them hav perfect gums.
ok... so dats bout it. go for it... i dnt regret my tongue piercing at all. quick and painless, the whole piercing process took bout 45seconds, or less.
if u want to kno more... feel free to pm me

o yea, when i say 0ga for my lobe piercings, thatz cuz i stretch my piercings. normal bellybuttons are 14ga. normal lobes are bout 18ga. 0ga is 0.84cm and 2.4cm = 1inch so u do the math. o wait, i think i hav a pic of a pencil going through my ear.

o yea, i forgot. the first week of getting ur tongue piercing, there will be white discharge (puss) around the hole. this is NORMAL ok? its the piercing's own way to clean itself by shoving the junk outta the hole. BUT if it doesnt stop after two weeks, there might be sumthing wrong. and u cant exchange body fluids (no oral sex, making out) during the healing period (2weeks) and no smoking, drinking and... dats it.

i hope this helped

o wait one more thing. as i said before, the tongue with swell up about twice its original size for the first week or so. THEREFORE, there will be a very long barbell (jewelry) so that the jewelry does not dig into your tongue when it swells up. once the swelling stops and ur tongue goes bak to normal size, the jewelry will b too long so u wud hav to go bak to ur piercer to get a shorter one. however, i changed my jewelry to a shorter one by myself cuz its not hard.

anyways, datz all i kno bout tongue piercings. i mite remember other stuff so i mite edit.
