Ughh, I don't know what is wrong w/my skin lately. I had to close not only my cartilage piercing, but ALSO my regular ear piercing! :mad: My cartilage piercing looked especially awesome, and I am so sad that I no longer have it.

My skin is just too darned sensitive :(.

So the other night I wake up at 2 am and have to go to the bathroom. When I look down I notice the top of my belly button ring has fallen off. So I frantically go searching through the apartment at 2 am, turning lights on and off because the damn thing is glow-in-the-dark...never did find it!

I got a new bananna belly ring that is a little longer and more comfortable to wear...not the $400 one I want but I'll live!

Anyone else have a similar freakish incident loosing part of your piercing or something?

Oh, that takes me back... When I was in college, I got my nose pierced. I drank a bottle of Boone's and went in to a friend's shop and he did it for me with the same type of gun that they use for ear piercings. However, for a nose piercing, he didn't put the back on the earring. This wasn't a problem, for normal people. :rolleyes: It hurt, but it wasn't the end of the world.

Well, that night I was at a big party. I have no idea how I did it, but I knocked the earring out of my nose and it went flying across the room. I had to crawl around to find it, and then go into the bathroom to shove it back in, which hurt like hell. Yeah, that was fun.

I finally ended up putting a tiny hoop in, which looked really cute, but I took it out when I was looking for a job. I wish I still had it, if you want to know the truth.

Reading this all REALLY makes me want to pierce my belly button, BTW.

I have my belly button pierced :cool:

I had my tongue pierced twice. I loved it while i had it. One day I just took it out; I do not know why! I may just go back and have it re-pierced. But other than that, no other piercings other than one in each ear lobe.

You should!!!! :D I love mine. After the initial healing it's fine now. And now that I have my new belly ring in I'm more comfortable and it doesn't get caught or irritated like the hoop one did!

Let us know if you do!

I have 1 hole in each ear, and a belly bar, I really want my toungue pierced but I am too scared!!!

I have my belly button pierced, that nite I will never forget! I was soo afraid to get it done, yet I wanted it so badly, that my friends took my wallet and made me go down there. All 4 of us held each other's hands when the guy stuck the bar in. It was funny, oh wow memories =) It looks really cute too. Its my birthstone color =) Sapphire! Toodles.

gotta love 'em!
 

I have 17 piercings....what can I say? It's an addiction! I have 7 in each ear, 1 in my tongue, and my nipples are pierced. :D

TechADPI that little piece of cartilage that pokes out is called a tregus...I've had mine done for a little over a year. It hurt when I got it done and the worse part was the "POP" noise it made when he did it...but it was worth it (Love that thing to death. I also have my navel, tongue (Didn't hurt at all...just lots of ice, cartilage on the top of my left ear, and three regular ear piercings. I really love all my piercings and tattoos. hehe i have 5 tattoos and want about 6-7 more. i have a butterfly on my leg, blue heart in falmes on my back, dragon on my lower back (yes it hurt like hell), dolphin on my thigh, and Chinese letters on my ankel. I want a ladybug on my big toe, a kitty cat on my tummy, another buterfly on my hip, and a few more just don't know where yet.

I had my tonque pierced about 2 years ago but I took it out last month because I started having shooting pain down to my ear!Nobody seems to know why that happened but I am determined to re-pierce since it has closed up quite a bit.

Ear piercing #1 (in both ears) when I was in kindergarten
Ear piercing #2 (in both ears) when I was in 8th grade
Ear piercing #3 (right ear) when I was in 10th grade...I did it myself on New Years Eve.

Navel ring - April 1998 (it's permanently attached to my body, it should be interesting if I ever have to take it out)

My husband has been talking about getting his tongue pierced but I don't think that I would like it. Plus, he is a supervisor at a GM plant so I don't think it would be very professional.

I think it is sexy :D

I know that this post is a few months old, but I've really been wanting a tiny stud, I want my nose pierced. I'm 21 and a junior so within a year I will be looking for a internship then eventually i'll have a career. I still don't know if I will go with a career in Pr or Criminal justice. I think that if I become a probation officer a pierced nose won't be so bad, but if I go to law school, it could be a problem and probably a problem if I go into PR for nonprofit agenices.
So should i do it? Also is the scar noticeable if i do take it out? I can see the mark from my navel ring, which I took out last May bc I was bored with it.

Any of you have ear plugs?

I think of putting a 12 or 10 gauge one in my left cartilage. 12 and 10 gauge isn't that big at all, but it is a little bigger than the hole that is currently there which 14 gauge.

How much does this stretching hurt?

Me either (except I'm even older than you)! I'm too much of a klutz to pierce anything, but one hole in each ear would be all I would have done if I did.

Don't know if this is true, but a friend of mine told me something about the brow piercings that a plastic surgeon told her. He said that when the brow is pierced, they go through tissue and damage it, so when you get old and everything starts drooping, the brow droops really bad and cannot be fixed!
