FYI-When I worked at Zellers they brought out a new policy that said if you had peircings or tattoos you had to cover them with bandaids. You had to wear natural or normal nail polish, etc...you get the idea. They pretty much left me alone...if I put bandaids on my peircings I would have looked like a car accident victim! Less disturbing to just let them all hang out! :biggrin2:

that was the worse bit for me! the guy doing the piercing wiped the side of my nose with an antiseptic wipe. one second later my eyes are streaming and im looking like a panda:p

havent had any infection from it tho'
 
I have 3 in both ears, two lobes and one in the cartlidge just above, my lip and one below the belt which I've got up to a 10g. I did have my tongue pierced but it was pierced too close to the tip of my tongue and was never comfortable even after healing and changing it to a really small bar so I took it out. The most painful were the cartlidge piercings and they were also the most trouble, they're about two years old and I still have flare ups from them. The easiest was my lip, I can leave it out for up to 3 weeks and still be able to put a ring back in it so it's great for work.

I'm getting a new piercing soon, can't decide what. I want another below the belt, but the one I want down there is kind of a specialist piercing and I'm still trying to find someone near enough to me who can do it. If not I will get my tongue pierced again, properly this time I hope!
 
Have you tried switching the cartilage peircings up to 18K gold or higher?
I had issues with my first cartilage peircing...had to remove it finally.:(
Tried once more and this time put in 18K (I couldn't find anything higher) never had any issues after that! Left it in till the peircing was completely healed and then put in whatever I wanted...:)

Yes I've tried a few different metals, I've never had any reaction tometal,but they've got unhappy with a few different metals in. They don't get infected as such they just swell and get sore, it can be as little as wearing a big pair of ear phones that sets them off. They were awful the last time I went riding after I took my hat off! They've been okay for acouple of months now though so I'm hoping it won't happen again.
 
lol
When I first got my tragus done I had a horrible time sleeping on it and answering the phone!:biggrin2:
It was quite swollen after I hit it a few times!
(I can't wear ear buds anymore either...I had to switch to softees instead!)
I am allergic to Polysporin so my sis and I were told by the peircer to grind up some aspirin and make it into a paste and when the peircing got red or swollen to apply some and let it dry and to continue to do this until the swelling went down! (answering the phone with the opposite ear helped too!;))

It took a couple of days but it really did help with the redness and irritation!:)
There was somediscussion at the time that it could help reduce keloid scarring as well if you were prone to it...I'm not but my sis is...and it did seem to help...since this was the last peircing she had done we never really had a chance to see if it was the aspirin or just coincidence!

ive had my cleavage, ive had my web, my lip, 19 different kind of ear piercings, tragus, eyebrow, and nose...seeing as i did the web myself, the lip myself, and about 16 of my ear piercings, oh and my cleavage--i didnt worry about the pain ..lol.. i was just a bored teen, and enjoyed piercings..good times :) and none of them ever hurt me..oh and i had my belly button too.. the only one that hurt really was the rook..it got infected..ouchh.
 
I got my belly button pierced yesterday. :) I really want my nose done too, but I'd be made to take it out by my school, maybe I'll get it done in summer since I'm done with school.

How long did people wait to change their belly button piercings? I was told 6-9 months, seems a bit long.
 
EWW!

Sorry, cant STAND looking at them if they arent in peoples ear lobes!!

My friend recently got her tongue piered and she keeps showin us! Cant stand it , lol
 
I have/had tons of piercings.

I still have:
Rook (ear)
Side Lip
Tounge
Chest Mircodermal (1)
Belly buttom
Nipples (Sorry if that was TMI lol)

Had/retired/rejected:
Double tragus
Barbell tragus (It went up/down tragus, different that a reg traugs)
Eyebrow
Labret
I had 5 other microdermals, rejected
Nape
Christina
Nose
Cartlidge


Will be getting:
4 gauge conch on both sides of ear
2 more microdermals on chest,

Single tragus on each side

And DO NOT CHANGE YOUR BELLY until 9 months, and please buy a QUALITY ring..NOT A 'DANGLE' It will cause pressure and mess up your piercing.
I am a piercing snob. Get pierced professionaly, correctly, and care for it correctly.

It is my ultimite pet peeve.
 
Haha, how ironic. I just called my piercer (I been faithful for 5 years) and he said come on over and he would do my large gauge conch's for half off since he loves me. LOL! I will post photos!
 
4guage conch? Wow, never seen them that big. My lobes are two gauge, i cant imagine a conch at 4g. Make sure to post pictures. It seems very unique i want to see :)



Oh annndd, lol If your microdermals are on an appropriate place of your chest, lol, can you post pics? I Really want to get a few of them when im older on my chest but im not sure yet..
 
Yeah, I don't like streached lobes (Even though mine were once 00) but I love this unique idea..I thought I could go tonight, but its storming pretty bad so I may have to wait until monday.

Here are the original four:

All I have left is the very center micro. I will be getting two more vertically.
 
You can see in the last photo the upper two rejecting, they got caught in my hair alot. as for the other two missing ones, one was ripped out during swimming so I took out the other because it looked odd.

That photo is also when it was first periced..

I have had it over a year w/ no problems now. Its healed perfectly and looks great.
 
I really like microdermals, their so cool looking. How was the pain? Plus since you took them out, how did they come out since their under the skin?

You have 00 lobes? What did they shrink back to, normal? or are they still a little stretched.
 
I love piercings and think they're extremely sexy. However, my body hates metals with a passion; pretty much anything I've ever tried resulted in swelling and abcesses. So, not for me! But they look awesome on other people, and I love seeing photos and reading about piercings and other body mods.
 
Wow, i'd love to get some microdermals, but im poor at the moment, so one day! :) But i do currently own:

Lobes(8 guage)x 2 (1 in each ear)
lobes (studs) x 2
3 cartilage left ear
tragus right ear
nose

rejected:
navel

when i have the money im gunna get some more, but being a full-time student doesnt seem to agree with that very much, lol.
 
Micros are IMPLANTS..so the pain factor it hurts..not horrible but it does. As for taking them out, they pretty much take a scapel and cut them out, since it is under the skin. Since some of mine were rejecting, they were closer to the top so it was easier.

I had 00 lobes..I HATE streach lobes..what a horrible decision. Nobody wants to be 40 with 00 lobes. Thankfully, I did mine properly..streach really slow with the right materials, and mine shrunk back to semi normal..you can't tell I streached my ears but they are larger then what they were before.
 
Funny enough the least painful piercing I have ever had was my tongue!
The guy that did it had been piercing for more than30 years so he was quick!
And the least painful tattoo was on the side of my neck! I have a big butterfly on my upper back just about killed me, but I actually fell asleep while getting my neck done!:biggrin2:
