The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

Getting my navel pierced was kind of funny. The guy had me lay down flat, but he couldn't get enough flesh in the piercer (I guess that's a good thing though overall! :-)) or whatever it's called, so I had to sit up a bit to create a little roll there. Then, he had a difficult time getting it pierced because I have some scar tissue behind my navel from a trocar insertion for a laparoscopic surgery I had several years ago. The piercing wasn't a majorly quick process. Apparently that scar tissue was quite quite thick and hell to get through. It still did not hurt all that much though. However, I'm scared to take the original little barbell/stud out because I'm afraid I won't be able to get a cuter navel stud or ring back in. Are navel studs or whatever easy to get back in after removing the original one?

As for the upper ear piercing, Silentangst has made me even more interested in it. I may do it in the next week or two.
 
Got my lip pierced, I said 'got' because even after literally years the whole still hasn't healed so can still get a ring through when ever I want.

Which if i'm honest isn't that bad, because can just have it in when ever I feel like it =D!
 
Somebody pleeeeeze tell me this: When you first take your navel barbell or ring out, is it difficult to get something back in? To me, it seems like it would be, but I haven't attempted it yet so I really don't know. Help??
 
If you're still in the healing process, don't take it out to change the jewelry. It could have the potential to start closing as soon as the barbell/stud is removed. But, if it's done healing completely, you'll be fine to take out what was provided to you, to replace it with something more to your liking. Hope that helps.


...I've got my lip done, I used to have snake-bites, but I took one side out. I had my ears done as well, but I took those out. I used to have them up to a 00gauge. I'm thinking about starting the process over again, though.

And, I'm also considering angel bites. Because in my opinion, they look sweet as fuck. And maybe a vertical labret. But if I did that, I would take out the lip-ring I have in now. Cause that would just be too much metal in/around my mouth.
 
It's been 9 months since the piercing, so surely it's gotta be healed. It definitely feels all healed up and such. I'm just afraid of taking the barbell out and not being able to get anything back in. The navel piercing holes seem like they would be more difficult to get all aligned in order to work a barbell or ring through than, say, an ear piercing site.

Okay, back to work for now.... Bleh.

Currently I have my navel and tragus pierced. I used to also have my tongue, eyebrow, and ear lobes pierced but just sort of grew out of them.
 
Use to have an eyebrow piercing about 1 1/2 years ago but after 9 months my skin continued to reject it even after changing to 3 different types of metal.

It's healed up and gone now, so currently i have 0! But im sure in time i'll get another part of me pierced :)

I've seen a guy with angel bites who lives around here, they do look pretty awesome.

I used to have an inverted vertical labret, I miss it so much. It's basically a vertical, but moved down slightly so that one side of the stud comes out in the mouth instead of outside the lip.

Accidentally took it out to change the stud and it was impossible to get back in because of the angle. Such an awesome piercing, but again, because of the angle they get very annoying because the back of the stud tends to catch on your front teeth when you do anything involving your mouth.

And n3o, mega-merges are ruining small time threads like this! We're just trying to have a good time, maaan. :p

What is this called? I've seen alot of people recently with piercings in this area, i cant imagine it would be comfortable.. i'm not a fan myself, but was just curious as to the type of piercing?

Lol I'm merge yo ass if you're not careful =D

And yes, the smiley piercings are kinda cool, in my opinion. But the ring would have to be super tiny gauge, like 22g and like 4-5mm across. Otherwise it would be too intrusive, and I always worry about the effect of metal on teeth (both my parents are dentists ;))

I've been discussing with my boyfriend the possibility of getting either one or both nipples done.....he's very intrigued, as am I %)
Hmmmm.

WAY too sensitive there! I could never ever do it!
I imagine the healing time would be a while too.......
You are a brave brave girl!

Haha it's one thing to talk about it, it's something else entirely to actually follow through! ;) =D
I'd like to get them done though.
My only concern is that I will be having babies in the next couple of years, what will the implications of pierced nipples be for breastfeeding?? I have to research that...
 
^^ Oh yes indeed!! You'd definitely take the piercing out whilst actually breastfeeding. I've since researched it too, and as long as the actual piercing is fully healed before breastfeeding there isn't any more pain than usual. And apparently it has no negative effect on the ability to breastfeed, i.e. the holes created from the piercing don't compromise the flow of milk through the lactiferous ducts.

/nerd %)

=D

So yeah, I think I might do it....!
 
It looks good. I just took out my 3 industrials. And my dermals are coming out next week. This job has its downsides, all I'll have left are my tongue piercings.

:(
