Piercings

[-Batto-]

I think the most I've ever had was 5? I actually don't remember xD!
Right now I only have 2 (just one each ear because the others got infected ;______
I reaaaaaaaaaally want an industrial bar though
I love ear piercings, but I'm not sure my mom would love me getting like a billion more XD They keep getting infected and I really don't know why. It's so irritating.

[littlecountrai]

wow, i'm surprised that people have so many piercings on here. xD
i have nine total at the moment, but i may be taking one out or getting another... not sure. @___@
i have two in my left lobe, three in my right lope, two in my right cartilage, one through my lip, and my navel pierced. recently i let my lip go down from a 14g to an 18g, since i'm not so sure that i want to keep it.
[ i've already had it for two years, though. xp ]
you guys should give me feedback on other piercings i should get... or remove. my avatar is a photo of me with my lip piercing still at a 14g. xD;;

I have two holes in each ear lobe, and I wanna get my nose done soon... Just gotta convince my dad because a piercing is actually my birthday present from my Aunt....
I used to have my helix done but it got infected TT_TT

[suzushii]

Just the two in my earlobes. My mum had them done when I was 3 years old so I don't remember anything (except the blue chair of the piercing-doing person - one of my first memories ). Apparently I cried like a baby afterwards, and it bled a lot ... don't want any other ones

[StrawberryShortcake]

Only my ears are pierced so I have one piercing.

[StrawberryShortcake]

I meant to say one set.

[maggie-sai]

only the dull one on each ear

[BonBonBarbie]

[Akane x]

I still remember how disgusting ear piercing was. She'd take a pin, heat it with a lighter (supposedly to sterilise it). After letting it cool, she'd put a piece of thick fabric behind the ear, and just stab that person's ear. You could hear the skin *pop* yuck.

This other friend, decided, hey, if she can have 234234x piercings and none infected, to have a bellybutton one herself.


She did, and it was okay for 2-3 days...until it turned green....then black...then it hardened (she wouldn't take the ring off though). We were freaking out, telling her to go to the hospital, but she really wanted that ring - so she put antibiotics on it, trying to "salvage" it.

After 2 weeks, the bellybutton flap fell off like a dead leave, along with the ring.

Crazy thing is, after several months, her bellybutton looked normal. Good thing our bodies know what's good for them, and how to heal themselves.


She of course went and got a ring again, but this time proffesionally. It didn't get infected

:O ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
thats so crazy and gross!!!!
can you imagine waking up and finding that in your bed? ergh.

this is fun though
anyone else with crazy stories?

[ichigomilkshake]

I have my lobes gauged to 14 mm and I have two rings on the top of my left ear.
I also have my bellybutton done

I did my tongue myself a while ago but had to go to a doctor
cuz it got all infected and yucky (it was gross, thought my tongue would fall out >.<)

[BonBonBarbie]

oh wow
how did you go about piercing your tongue?!?!?!
were you not rly scared and did it not knacker?!
x

[SilverRain]

Horror stories eh? Well, this probably isn't NEARLY as crazy as the bellybutton one, but I know a classmate who had a bit of a problem with her second set of piercings.

After she got her second set, it was fine for a week or so. But the the skin on her lobes started to grow over the earring on one of her ears. Eventually, the earring was so deeply embedded in her ear, that she had to go to the hospital to get it the earring out. I'll let you guess what they had to do at the hospital XD

After a while, it healed perfectly. She went to get her second set again, and this time there were no...complications XD

[suzushii]

omg, that's crazy. Like a mutant ear saying: noooo, that earing is miiiine, allllllll mine, you can't have it back *clutches*

[BonBonBarbie]

^ Haahahahahaha

[TheIcyCount]

None! but I really wanna get a piercing on my lower lip.
when i proposed the idea to my parents, they gave me the whole, "what would your grandparents and relatives say?" treatment.

[MissTamora]

Ahahaha... this is what made me something of a celebrity at my old school

List of all the piercings I have had:

-Left ear lobe, 6 (4 done professionally, rest done myself)
-Left ear cartilage, 3 (professionally)
-Left ear conch (professionally)
-Right ear lobe, 6 - first one stretched to 12mm (same as other ear, stretching done myself)
-Right ear cartilage, 2 (professionally)
-Lower lip, 2 (done myself)
-Upper lip, 1 (did it myself, it fell out in my sleep the day I did it...)
-Tongue, 3 (professionally)
-Right nipple (did it myself)
-Navel, 4 (professionally)
-Hip/stomach, 5 (did them myself. One got badly infected so I took them all out)
-Down There, 2 (did them myself, took the jewellery out and couldn't get it back in...)

Which brings my grand total to... 36! I'm not sure if that's actually right or not, there may be some I've forgotten about haha

But i don't have all of them now and I hever had them all at the same time. I had my first ear lobe piercings when I was 2 ^^ I cried after the first one and my mum promised me strawberry ice cream if I had the second one done so I wouldn't have just one ear pierced...

Presently I have a couple of my ear lobe piercings left, my cartilage ones have all closed up but I want them all reopened. I still have my conch piercing, I took my stretcher and nipple piercing out the other day, and I keep deciding I don't want my lip piercings and taking them out, but then I want them back so I try to get them back in... and they go in so easily! It's annoying, I kind of wish they'd just close up quickly so I'd get over it already haha

Edit: I knew I forgot something!! I have my nose pierced Grand total, 37!

Horror stories...

-I had my first tongue piercing done by itself but I had my other two done at the same time. I knew it would hurt like holy cow but I actually couldn't sleep the night after I got it done because it hurt so much. When I finally did sleep, I woke up the next morning spitting blood My tongue piercings had a habit when I first had them, of randomly starting bleeding loads for no reason. They didn't hit a vein or anything, they just bled for no reason. They're fine now.

-One of my hip piercings, the one that got septic - it's because i had some cheap metl in it. It went purple and got exceedingly painful (almost as painful as my tongue piercings) and the scar it's let is still pretyt purple and huge. If you run your finger over it you can feel where the piercing used to be.

-Three of my cartilage piercings have done this - for some reason they got infected or something and a huge lump started to grow, filled with all sorts of lovely fluids What I did't know the first time is that you shouldn't take it out, so that's what I did, and now I have a lumpy scar there =\ the other two are okay, one of the lumps disappeared entirely and the other one's pretty tiny, because I left them in for as long as it took and bathed them in disinfectant a few times a day.

I don't know if I have any more... I have a somewhat funny one though...

When I first pierced my nipple... it used to tickle A lot. I used to struggle not to laugh when I was on the train going somewhere cause it would just TICKLE SO BADLY!! Luckily it stopped doing that after a while hehe

[hanaren]
