PEIRCINGS!

Heh, how many you got? If so, where? Do you give them any special care? (More than the just washing them and whatnot...)

I got two. Ears.

I can see myself with four or five peircings in the future, though. Probably another two in my ears and maybe naval as well.

I don't give mine much special care. I clean around them and inside them, as well as disinfecting my earrings and ears in water-diluted disinfectant and then water and Tea Tree.

As well as that, every few months, I'll take them out for a week, and spend that time on-and-off cleaning my ears and earrings.

I need help putting them in, though. I get hella paranoid that I'm going to peirce myself accidently and so my pops usually helps me out with that...

'Bout you guys?

I don't have any piercings, though I've thought about getting a cartlidge piercing in my left ear. I don't want one anymore, though.

On girls, I think it's attractive when a girl has a line of ear rings up her ear. Not sure why. I also find studs to be unattractive. Not into the nose ring or the lip ring, but the labrett can look pretty nice. I also like tongue rings on girls. I think those are attractive. The belly button ring doesn't work when the girl is too overweight. First hand experience.

I once trod on a nail and it went in my foot.

As for proper piercings... I'll never bother. I dont feel as though I want a piece of metal hanging from me to improve my image. I'm happy as I am.

Thats not to say I don't think people should do it, because piercings DO look nice. It's just not an option I'd choose for myself.

I'm not pieced and never will be.
As for piercings looking nice...Earrings look nice and that's about it.
Nose, belly, and tongue rings are just fugly.

Currently, I have one 0g earring in my left ear. I had 2 eyebrow piercings on my left eyebrow that I did myself... but they got infected so I'm waiting to get some done professionally... I'm also getting a labret, lip, and my other ear pierced. For the first 6 months I had my earring I cleaned it everyday sometimes twice a day... now I don't really feel the need to.

I hate piercings and I will never have one and I think piercings on women other then their ears, does not improve their image. In fact if a woman was to get a piercing on her tongue, nose and belly then she might as well shave her hair off as well. That's how much worse it makes them look, so why do they do it? Oh right, Because it's cool, geez if a celebrity told them to jump of a cliff would they would probably do that too.

I definitely don't have any piercings and I honestly don't plan on getting any, either. Hey, things might change, but for now I'm fine without anything flashy hanging from my body. The only "piercings" I ever have any more are the ones from needles either stealing my blood or stitching me up.

If I ever did get something pierced, I honestly don't even know what I'd do.

I had my ears pierced at a young age and was the jelousy of everyone of my infant school who "had to wait until they were 14"! haha! I normally wear small studs, but I wouldnt mind having some small hoops, not those massive chavvy ones, but cute little ones. The smaller the better. I havent put any earings in for a while cause I keep loosing one from the pair. I have to take them out when I sleep, and one either get misplaced or one of the cats decides it wants to be a kitten and looses it. Or it randomly falls out when i'm out somewhere.

As for more piercings- nope. Nose rings must be irritating, and since I have hayfever and a dust allergy, I wouldnt curse it upon myself unless I wanted a huge snot pluggage! Hehe nice vision! Belly button rings look foul. The actual design of the bars can often look pretty, but when I see people with belly bars in, I can't help but feel queezy. Eyebrow rings look nice on some people, but they look better on men than women, and lip/tounge rings I would just find irritating, especially toungue rings. >_<

I dont find loads of piercings attractive, but a few earings or maybe an eyebrow ring on a guy can look nice. I don't want anymore though.

Anachlirium · 09-21-2006, 01:58 AM

well, I'm boring. 4 for me at the moment, two in each ear. alot of people say i should get my bellybutton done [oh, you've got the figure for it, etc] but they really don't appeal to me all that much. i do, however, really like the look of an eyebrow piercing. who thinks i should get one done? oh, and i want to get one or two more in each ear, in the future.

Did you ever think that maybe, just maybe, people get piercings because they like how they look with them? Also, last time I checked, most of the people with the extravagant piercings where the ones who got picked on in high school for having them. Yeah, everyone thinks they're reeeeeal cool. I suppose you also didn't take into account that Native Americans use suspension piercings as sacred rituals? Or that several African tribes pierce themselves because of tradition? No, I don't think you did. Pull your head out of your ass, friend.

I actually advise paying for a piercing rather than doing it yourself. I've known several people who have tried to pierce parts of their body (mainly ears), succeeded, yet ended up with a lovely greeny purpley red infection! Sterilised equiptment is nessicary if it is to penetrate your skin.

Yuki-onna · 09-21-2006, 09:28 AM

Eh. I only have five. Right ear one, left ear three, navel one. My ears will obtain more studs, as will undoubtedly my tongue. Who knows, maybe I'll pierce something original...like...like...my uterus.

Ahahaha, ew. Dude, seriously.

Get the eyebrow peircing. Pay for it. No more "self surgery"

...

I've had my ears peirced a few times. Once when I was about five... and my dad repeirced them twice, I think.

They closed up.

I heal! Dammit!
