The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

Oooh yeah hun, that is no good!! Do you wear plastic balls on the ends of the bar or steel? Switch to plastic balls and it will drastically reduce the tooth-chipping.

^^ Nice!!


I'm just about nearing my usual desire-for-a-piercing phase. I'm thinking about maybe getting both nips done?? I've been wanting them done for a while....
 
Hips.

The first time june 2008, I got surface bars on each hip. Not much pain or blood. The piercer used the wrong metal, they were uneven, infected and looked worse everyday.

Today I got microdermal anchors, one on each hip.
I have a high pain tolerance & I thought it would hurt the same as a reg piercing. haha NO! I admit it, i yelled, cussed, had the arms of the chair in a death grip... lol! I was planning on a total of 4 (so it would look like before), but i dont think im getting the other two. The internet said it shouldnt have hurt that bad. The better the piercer the quicker, easier and with less pain. Either way until they find a way to numb my skin I will be sticking with just the two.

Well I've been watching videos on youtube about removing dermal piercings and it's not pretty. I think I can do it myself just as well as anyone else could so what I'm going to do is get a really sharp knife and cut a little slit to pull it out through and call it a day. Obviously I'll sterilize everything and use gloves =)

I know I asked before but I'm going to once again: Has anyone else done this or had it done before?

I just don't see why I should waste $$$ on a doctor/piercer when I can remove it myself.

It depends what kind of base it is, how long youve had it,etc. If the base anchor has holes, and its had time to fully heal your best bet would be a doctor. Some piercers will do it but unless they have a surgical license, its illegal and would prob leave a huge scar.

How do you go about removing a piercing if it's anchored? I've had my chest pierced for about a year and a half so it's grown in and settled pretty well. This would be well and good if I wanted to keep it in.

Now the time has come to remove it. I still like it and think it looks great but I wish it wasn't so low (when I wear certain bras and shirts it ends up pretty much between my cleavage which is NOT what I was going for :P). On top of this it gets in the way (for instance, my seatbelt will catch on it sometimes).

So what the hell do I do? Go to a piercer and have him rip it out? Will he have to cut a slit and open the whole thing back up, subsequently causing more scarring? Will I have to go to a doctor to get it done?

Grr.

Here it is though:

It was kinda bloody but it had just been done when I took this. Knowing how it's anchored with the flat back it makes me wonder even more about how the hell to get this thing out.

Go to a doctor, maybe that way it will be tiny cuts and scars. Be safe, alot of things can go wrong.
 
Ive had some amazing surface piercings done before - the guy who did them was simply brilliant and even after the swelling went down all the piercings were perfectly aligned. The only problem I had was they didnt last that long - after a few months they started to be rejected and I had to remove them :(.

Stunning when they lasted and even the scars they left are pretty funky looking :) (for me anyway)
