Piercings...Got 'em? Love 'em?

The first thing I ever had pierced was my ears (naturally). They were done back in college by a friend in the dorm with a needle and an ice cube. I only have one hole in each ear. I never had the urge to have more.

Back in 2000, I got my navel pierced. I had lost a lot of weight and did it as a treat to myself. It took forever to heal (close to a year) and eventually migrated. I took it out a few years ago and don't miss it. When I saw Britney Spears had a navel piercing I was a little less enchanted with mine. :(

At naturist events, I saw lots of different piercings. There was one couple with matching "his and hers" nipple piercings with beautiful gold rings. That's when I decided I wanted to get mine done but it took me ages to finally get up the nerve. I think I was a little nervous because my navel took so long to heal, but in comparison, nipples were nothing. I got them done in 2006 and switched to the gold rings one year later. They are 14 g, 3/4". I had thought about 1" but the sales guy thought that would be too big. I started off with a 16 g, 1/2" captive bead steel ring (pretty standard).

Ab got his left nipple pierced on my 50th birthday. He had it pierced a second time (double piercing) with a straight bar. Unfortunately, the guy who did it put it in crooked and it always looked crappy, so he ended up taking it out pretty quick. He got the right one done a few years ago but again, he had lots of problems with healing so he took that one out too. His 1 for 3 experience is the reason he is a little gun shy about getting a PA. :D

I find it amusing that people react to piercings so strongly and for many, very negatively. If you don't like it, take it out. It's much less permanent than a tattoo and people are pretty blase about those.

What other experiences have folks had?

I got my left ear done at a jewelry store in the Beverly Center when I was 18 by this HUGE arab guy. He used one of those barbaric guns and seemed to think I was a bit of a wuss when I asked if it was going to hurt. Yeah, it hurt like a mofo. My father was not amused.

Eighteen years later, I got the other ear done, this time by a professional piercer. I've got them up to about an 8 or 10 gauge now and typically wear rings, but have an assortment of other jewelry, as well.

I got the PA almost two years ago and have it stretched up to about 4 ga. A cock with a big chunky piece of stainless in it is fucking sexy (though I don't get to see it all that often).

I have no piercings - I'm wimpy about pain. Seeing piercings on women is really, really hot. Dev's blog picture is quite distracting.

I don't care for some of the very weird things some people do to their faces, or some of the more extreme piercings, but its their face. All I had to do to freak people out was grow my hair long

I too am not a fan of facial piercings. My daughter has her septum pierced and I keep hoping that one of these days she'll take it out. So far, no luck.

The more you hate it, the longer she'll keep it.

Heh - you could try putting a fake one there on yourself. If she thought you had one, hers would be gone in days...

If I were younger, I'd totally pierce that little spot right under my lower lip. I think it's called a lowbret. Also, the nipples (though I can talk myself out of that - I go back and forth).

I currently have a 6ga PA that I've had about 6 months. I'm getting ready to, and looking forward to, gauging up to a 4. This is actually the second PA that I had. My first one was about 14 years ago but the piercing ended up being way too shallow and I was always freaked out that it would rip out. The one I have now is much deeper which is perfect to use in a chastity device.

I also had my nipples pierced about 14 years ago but they never seemed to heal properly. After about a year and a half, I took them both out and it seems they closed up within about 30 minutes. On the other hand, the first PA never closed up. I can still easily get something in there.

Which is precisely why I don't say anything about it.

Good point. It worked with Britney Spears and me! LOL.

I have had both nipples, one ear and a frenum. Of the lot I was disappointed in the frenum which migrated badly and had to be removed. I still adore the look of a pierced nipple.

Piercings. Hmm.

Diamond stud in left ear.
Both nipples. Each had to be redone once due to rejection.
Frenum. Migrated within a month and I had to get rid of it.
PA, done twice. Migration the first time. Second time stuck. Presently at 4ga.

My nipples were tender for a LONG time, but after about 3 years stabilized. I'd say they're good and tough now. My PA healed pretty quickly.
