The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

^^ Dude, ONLY because you said something along the lines of that you were only joking about getting the PA done......correct me if I'm wrong?!
I am certainly not doubting your will and courage to do so :)

*edit* it was this post:

But I now see that you meant you hadn't had any penis piercings YET!! :)
 
I think I know the answer to this question but I'd like to get some input...

Would putting a curved piece of jewelry (a hoop) through a straight hole (in cartilage) eventually make the hole too curved to put a straight piercing through?

Basically, my industrial piercing is getting wayyy too irritated taking it in and out every Tues and Thurs, so I'm thinking about putting in two hoops, but I don't know if that would change the hole... Never played around with cartilage piercings in that way, let alone cartilage piercings going through the side of an ear instead of through the ear.

Also, if anybody knows, any idea what gauge the typical industrial piercing is? 'Cause I have 12g lip jewelry that looks about the same size... But I also have 14g nose jewelry that looks the same size... :-/ I just really don't wanna fuck up my piercing.

Thanks all. :)
 
Update on Los Piercings:
Healing up pretty well as of right now.
The right one doesn't seem to have been put in as deep as the left one so basically that means that the one on the right moves forward/backward more than the left which means that I'll either have to get it redone >.< or I'll have to get the jewelry shortened. Overall tho my peen is doin pretty well. =D
 
^^ Good to hear it's healing nicely! Yeah, don't get the right one repierced, just get a shorter bar I reckon.

It depends how long you have the curved jewellery in for. Over time the piercing would conform more and more to the curvature of the hoop and make it really difficult to put a straight bar back through.

I would highly recommend that instead of two hoops, you buy off ebay a long clear plastic bar and put that through. The first thing that has come to mind is one of those pregnancy belly ring retainers:

Because you can cut them to size. The one I've linked is 14G but you could probably find a 12G if you looked around.

Typically they are done with a 14G needle BUT it could've been done with a 12G. But try to put a 12G hoop through and see if it fits, then you'll know :)

Thank you SO much for the information, yet again!

One more question though: How long do you think it would take for the piercing to become curved? 'Cause the clear barbell is a VERY good idea, but I like having jewelry in my ear (just can't have "jewelry longer than 1 inch" 8)).
 
Eeep I'm not sure hun! Every body is different. It would depend on how long the piercing has been in there to start with, and then you body's general speed-of-healing time. If you generally heal pretty quickly then the holes would probably start to curve after a couple of weeks. Maybe if you put in 12G jewellery you could keep it open a bit more for a straight 14G bar to go through later, but who knows.

But honestly ap, I'm just speculating. If you're really concerned, call your piercer and discuss it with them hun.

And hey, you can always get the long clear bar with coloured/jewelled balls on the end??
 
^ Thanks again. :) I think I'm gonna stop by the place I got it pierced--Turns out it's only a few minutes away from where I am on Tues/Thurs nowadays.
 
Any time lovely! Yeah that would be cool if you could just pop in and ask them what they think :)
 
Currently have Nose piercing, Lip, Tongue, 3 in my ear, Septum (though don't wear jewellery in it normally), Bridge of nose and both Nipples.

Had many more in the past, and am thinking of getting my PA redone.

Nice man :)

you've got more balls than I do if you go for the Apradravya man.
that shit looks waaay more painful than a dydoe. Haha.
I don't really see the appeal of a transurethural either...specifically a PA. I dont think I could justify losing the ability to pee in a straight line....


/random PA tangent

Apadravya isn't too bad for pain, around 5/10, (not much help really, as pain is subjective...). Very nice piercing, but took it out as it caused pee-ing issues (sorry if tmi...)

Kinda regret removing it though, as getting it redone I imagine would be :!.

Also stretching it hurts a fair bit, nearly as bad as the piercing itself!

Haha see that's exactly what I was talking about, Transurethral is something I couldn't do.
I am however, VERY happy with my Double Dydoe. I've yet to go in and get the right one shortened but damnit, it looks good :D
 
My conch has healed very well, prolly get the other ear done too once I fancy going through that lengthy healing process again. T'is also a pain having to get used to sleeping on one side, but hey.

Anyone had tattoos removed via laser treatment?. I was considering this but it looks ridiculously painful, and in most cases seems to leave an ugly scar which could be worse than the tattoo itself. I watched a few vids on youtube and it reminded me of those water pressure things they use to remove chewing gum from pavements. I seem to be a lot more squeamish than I used to be about such things.
 
^Hey you! :)

Yeah, I wanted it covered up with an irazumi style type design, but I've spoken to a few different artists who have all said that they wouldn't be able to do it due to the amount of detail involved unless they did my entire sleeve!. It's on my wrist, and I just kinda want it a few inches all the way around. The entire arm is a bit too much for me personally.
 
^^ Ahh cool. Yeah same with my tongue ring. I can take it out for a couple of weeks and still manage to squeeze the bar back through :)
I don't do that often though! Sometimes when I'm really stressed I get candida infections on my tongue (TMI?) and take the bar out for comfort issues.


Speaking of which...I'm actually thinking of taking my tongue ring out.... :(
I've had it for 10 years and I'm so torn about taking it out vs. leaving it in. I keep taking it out then putting it back in after a few days :D It's such a part of me!

Has anyone else gotten over their tongue ring and let it heal over?
 
I have seven ear piercings but never wear them. I had angel bites but had to take my right one out due to it not healing right after nearly three months and I kept my left on in. Yet I just retired my monroe almost two weeks ago or close to three I don't remember. I want to repierce it though because I miss it...I just noticed my gums receding a little. So right now I have my nose pierced |:

The piercings I do want though is either spider bites if I don't re pierce my monroe. Also a microdermal underneath my eye on my cheekbone. I also am very interested in cheek piercings but not sure if I will ever get them.
