The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

Nipple piercing

I had both nipples pierced about 18months ago and now the left one looks like it is growing out or something. I only noticed this morning in the shower. You cant tell just by looking but if you spread apart the nipple i can now see the bar! Its freaking me out because there is a hole in the middle of my nipple! What do i do?
 
i'd say take it out, let it heal for a while, and get it repierced under the scar tissue in a few weeks/months. don't be afraid- surface piercings, such as eyebrows, belly buttons, and nipples migrate out over time. the amount of time varies from person to person, but this is normal. don't stress!
 
ive had my tongue pierced for 2 weeks.
the metal ball kept getting caught between my teeth and i dont feel like chipping them, so i replaced it myself with a plastic little ball.. now my tongue feels sus.. i left the ball in antiseptic mouthwash for a few minutes before i put it on, so hopefully my tongue doesn't get infected or anything 8(
 
Rook piercing

Anyone have it? And if you do, how much did it hurt? I'm going to get mine done today, and I'm kinda nervous. That's so much cartilage! 8(
 
piercings i have done: tragus, rook, upper ear cartilage, belly button x 2, nipples, earlobes, anti-rook, and hood.

which hurt the most- my motherfucking rook.

it kills, but i love it and it's cute. i got mine done about 5 years ago. good luck with trying to sleep on that side of your head. =)
 
Shit, it hurt more than getting your nipples pierced? A friend of mine just got her nipples done yesterday and said it absolutely killed. And I don't tolerate pain well either, so this will be interesting.

And luckily for me I sleep on my back :)

how did it go?
i had mine done like... 3-4 years ago, and it was one of my easiest pokes. it healed faster than any other cartilage hole i've had done. probably cause it's protected by all that extra ear around it so it doesn't get yanked on. but, after 3-4 years, it's still the one piercing i have to clean daily.
 
*bump!* cuz i can't find the lil baggie of posts i'm looking for. i took my hoop out of my labret today, and since i'm hoping to have more interviews coming up at some point, i think it'll be easier to just have a straight post in instead of a hoop. easier for removal and to put back in once you don't have to be so formal looking. i hate this.

how long is pushing it for keeping the piercing open? i've had my labret for around 7 years now, and it's always in, 24/7. but today i removed it in the a.m., and have not yet replaced it tonight. I guess i'll put the hoop back in, and then just order some more straight posts. what's the easiest jewelry for quick removal and insertion? The capture beads are tricky for me :( And if you take a piece out, do you use anything to try and fill in the hole- like makeup or anything? I couldn't tell if the hole under my lip was a distraction or not.

thnx in advance for any helpful advice :)
 
when i had my labret pierced, i used a clear plastic thing for interviews. it was less than 5 bucks at the piercing shop. you can't really see it, and at least you wont have to worry about it closing up for a few days. good luck at your interviews vibby! :)
 
Yep I've used those little clear retainers in my labret for work too. They're great, to the untrained eye there's totally nothing there!

I don't put any make-up over the hole when I'm working, I've always just thought that people wouldn't get so close to my face that they could see it. (??)
But one of my friends puts this make-up putty stuff in her nose ring hole when she's at work. You totally cannot tell at all.

Also, I've had my labret for about 5 years and if I have it out for 2 days it starts to close over :\
I'm guessing it's because of the saliva and stuff, things heal really-ultra quick in the mouth.
I just make sure I put something back in as soon as I finish work.

Also, my labret's a 16 gauge, so they're not always done with a 14 gauge, so do check for the correct size :)
 
Suspension Team

Finally bought some silicone plugs. Their purdy and white. They were at about an inch before I lost one and they've since shrunken down to half that size. I think they look cute.

No piercings as of right now, although I'm thinking of punching some 4g holes in my nostrils. Undecided. I suck at healing piercings (well versed in how, just lazy and irresponsible I suppose).

I was looking for a thread to post the neato suspension pictures that have been going in my home sweet home, I'll use this thread if no one minds.

edit- see comment a few posts down.

sounds fun to me.

I would love to help pierce for and attend any suspensions done in the future, but I dunno about actually suspending at the moment.... maybe after I've attended a few. ya'know? build up my courage and such...
