I could have sworn I posted in this thread.
I have both ears pierced three times, and I have my cartilege pierced in my left ear, but not at the top -- a little bit lower.
I had my tongue pierced during my last year in college, but I took it out on June 30, 2002, the night before I started my first "real" job.

I still miss my tongue ring. A LOT.
I was just telling Mr. AXiD670 last night that it's time to get pierced again. I used to get pierced for my bday -- I got my first set of holes for my 12th bday, my 2nd set on a band trip when I was 16, my 3rd set on another band trip for my 17th bday, my cartilege for my 19th bday, my tattoo for my 20th bday, and my tongue for my 22nd bday.
My 26th bday is tomorrow -- any suggestions?
