The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

doesn't hurt? you are all so fucking lying :D

i have had my clit hood done twice, my ears stretched from normal to 10 gauge in one setting, and my toe tattooed, and my nose piercing was one of the worst....i wouldn't do it again.


mrs mojo, the stud isn't a good idea, supposedly, the piercing nazis say that a hoop is the only choice for a new piercing.

and DONT FUCKING TOUCH IT srsly, that is the best advice you will get. throw your nose in some KOSHER sea salt and warm water once a day and that is it, nothing else. don't touch it.
 
Maybe I just had a really gentle piercer or something ;)
I can't imagine how nose could hurt more than clit!

Do you know why a stud isn't supposed to be very good? I'm guessing it has to do with the healing process and the fact that a stud moves around A LOT. I'm having trouble keeping my hands away simply because I keep having to push it back in or move the screw on the inside of my nose to make it tighter. I make sure my hands are washed though anytime I do touch it.
 
^ yeah, you're supposed to get it pierced with a hoop but lots of piercers will do it with a stud anyway...why a hoop i'm not even really sure, lol.

and darthmom - are you serious? you must of had a bad piercer! ;) but srsly...everyone i've ever talked to about it said that it didn't hardly hurt (if at all). and your clit? ow!

but yeah, i've had my fair share of piercings and the place i always go to (which is the best shop in my town %) ) used to have you clean it and stuff but then a few years ago they started the 'just leave it alone' deal and it really works better IMO. i mean wash your face like normal, but i wouldn't get all up in there with a Q-tip or with any special soap. it actually heals quicker this way b/c you're not irritating it all the time by touching it and moving it around, which btw...don't touch it!!! i know it's hard...
 
I would love to put a small, tasteful plain white gold stud in my nose. Unfortunately, work would go absolutely apeshit if I had any facial piercings or visible tattoos. :(

My ear cartilage hurt a LOT and I have a small scar and vein (nothing noticeable unless you look REALLY hard). I had longer hair at the time and it would catch on my hairbrush. 8) I took it out after about 6 months.

For my small upper back tat, I didn't take anything. I'm thinking of getting another, but it would be in the "tramp stamp" area. :( I might do it anyway though, I had a great idea. fuck the haters :)
 
DM, your piercer must have sucked ... badly. I've had several piercings and tattoos; the nose being the only one that was pain free. It made my eyes water like hell, but didn't hurt at all.

Don't mess with it, and don't touch it too much. The best way I've been told (and what's worked) for me to clean it is to wash your face normally and squirt it with saline solution twice a day (basically salt water). Do not use peroxide ever, and there isn't really any reason to buy any special cleanser (unless your normal cleanser is especially harsh).
 
My nose piercing didn't hurt one single bit. In fact it tickled a little in an almost pleasant way :) I've had my earlobes done twice and they hurt much, much more.

Also, mine was done with a stud. I didn't know better at the time but it turned out perfectly fine.
 
a friend of mine got drunk on some rum and jus did it to himself wit a needle lemon wedge and some rubbin alcohol
 
^ eek...piercings while drunk = not good.

i've been thinking about getting my nipples pierced but i think i'm too scared. any experiences with that anyone? (ow...yikes!)
 
They really are addictive!
I think I'm gonna get my tongue done in the summer and maybe another ear piercing before then.

Nose piercings look like pimples. Don't get one.

=D I've always thought exactly the same thing. I used to have a small mole on the side of my nose, where you would get a piercing stud if you wanted it, and I had it removed cuz it was so distracting. But they do look cute on some people.
 
Doesnt hurt? Bullshit! I've had the side of my nose done twice but it was done the old school way when there wasnt alot of piercing shops and info around (ie when i was about 18 or so) with a gun and it hurt like buggery!

My septum has to be the most painful piercing to date and was actually through the cartlidge and not the "butter spot" and i've had everything pierced at one stage pretty much

*ear stretching
*medusa (2nd most painful)
*nipples
*clit hood
*eyebrow
*labret

etc etc

I don't currently wear ALL those piercings now though but have had them all done

my septum was by far the most painful out of the lot.

and that would be why it hurt, it was done with a gun. Granted, everyone has a different pain tolerance - but i'd have to guess if you had it done with a needle you wouldn't think it hurt.
 
my bf has his septum pierced with a barbell in it and everyone always tells him he has boogers in his nose. haha.

i don't like the hoops on people though...i think it makes them look like a bull.
 
Nose piercings are sexy as hell, IMO. Septum piercings, however, not so much.
 
I was thinking of getting a tiny one in my nose but I dont want to do it until after my wedding in September, and after that I only have maybe a year left in school which makes me wary since I doubt I can keep it in when I begin my career. So Id have it for a year. I guess I need to think about how much I really want it.

Ive had my eyebrown, navel, rook, ears done. The only one that really hurt was my rook..god that killed.
 
I'm just too much of a wimp (and too old) to have piercings or tattoos...pathetic,ay!

but it doesn't cost hardly anything, it isn't as though it is some massive investment. and you may be able to wear a small stud in your nose for a new job. i worked in a professional field with a small one for a short while.
 
It isnt the cost, I just dont know if I want to make a hole and only have it a short time. I scar easily :( It would be great to have a job that allows it, but what about when interviewing...people judge and Im not so sure theyd ask if Id be willing to take it out. I dont know maybe they would though.

When I took my navel ring out, I now have a scar..luckily my eyebrow scar is hidden by my eyebrow.
