Piercings

[fashionista-ta]

thanks lottie and ta-ta!

I know of a good reputable salon, so I guess that would be okay.

However, that's really interesting re. earlobe structure...when I wear hoops, I have the opposite problem, they face outwards and look kind of "wide"; that bothers me...I thought it would be resolved if I pierced the ears, but maybe not...we'll see...

what would have been easier if the initial pair were a proper metal?

I suppose it depends on whether the clips are distorting the natural set of your ears/lobes.

Earrings that aren't all gold cause a huge amount of irritation for me, so trying to heal the piercings with irritating cheap earrings in the mix wasn't ideal ...

And btw I have worn clip-on earrings back in the day for a big dramatic look and found the vast majority sooo painful!!! One day in a bad pair of clip-ons is far more painful than getting your ears pierced. And I am very sensitive to pain ...

The other thing is, if your initial pair of earrings have extra-large posts, I wouldn't plan on wearing them past the initial healing period.

Ah-ha! I can see that pierced earrings would be less distorting. Thank you for the excellent advice.

Pain...yes. I'm planning to get my ears pierced because the pain of clip-ons cause me to remove and promptly lose them. Plus I think earrings suit me much better now than they used to.

That's what I found too-piercing hurts way less than clip-ons. The first time you get them done it's not a whole lot of upkeep (just soaking twice a day for two months) and it doesn't really hurt. Clip-ons were absolute torture.

I just got dermal anchors below my collar bone. I love them!

ooh nice !
how did you find the actual piercing? iiv always wondered what its like!

If I was going to get my nipple pierced what one would people recomend? Is one side better than the other???

& I also want to get the bit pierced thats in the middle of your ear......the bit that sticks out, above the lobe, if you know what I mean. Does it hurt? Do people have an idea of costs?

 

[Esperanza]

^ its called a tragus, i want to get it dne too. but i heard it hurts alot

I had both pierced. But the left one gave me problems, so I took it out. So it's just the right one. So I would say right, lol. As far as the tragus goes, mine cost me $40.

i dont think one nipple is better than the other since everyone is different, just go for what you like asthetically pleasing to you. personally i have the right side pierced.

and yes that bit your talking about is a tragus piercing for me it didnt hurt it just felt like abit of pressure. but saying that out of all the piercings i've had only one actually hurt

both should cost you around £20 each as far as i can remember thats around what i paid for mine.

 

[ediewho]

gotta say at the end you take them out... all of mine were removed... and to be honest i didn't wear them for that long... but i like boys with nose piercings for some reason...

My friend does them, I just ordered the jewelry off the website he gave me

 

[ooh-la-larouci]

I've had my ears stretched for about 6 years now, as i've gotten older i've gone for more descrete plugs but i still love them!

 

[the_breath]

I love nearly all kinds of piercings if its matching good with the person who wears it. I got my newest one three weeks ago at my neck and i love it.

I think it is mainly about the aesthetic, you need to think about which side you think it would look best on

It all depends on your pain tolerance! A lot of my friends have their tragus pierced and they said it hurt more than lobes but wasn't too bad - it is quite hard to catch it badly on anything. I reckon it would be about £25 to get it done but it varies depending on what place you go to.

I got my first piercing yesterday! an anti-helix or forward helix, I don't know what's the exact name. Anyway is right above the tragus. I like it a lotttt! I think I won't get any other piercing in the future though...

 

[Deborah]

Oh I like those but I already have my tragus pierced and I don't like the look of loads of piercings in one ear and I don't fancy having it on the other side.

I don't think I'm getting more any time soon because I need to save money and am so busy all the time, but if I did get another piercing, I might get that anti-helix on my right ear.

I used to have 5 cartilage piercings, 5 ear lobe piercings and a nose ring. I kind of got over the whole piercing addiction (let them all close) and now I just have 2 simple piercings on my ears

 

[redhotfuss]

I currently have:
ear lobes stretched to 6g
conch
helix
tragus
rook
cartilage (done @ claire's lol)
2 other regular piercings in each ear
both nipples
tongue
(and had my belly button done twice)

im currently thinking that i love a tiny thin hoop as a nose piercing on females...

 

[Andrea.RL]

I've been thinking about getting the top of my ear done...
I find that it gives a kind of elfy look
Anyway what do you guys know about that? Does it hurt? how much does it cost?
(and if more go ahead )

here is my current antibrow piercing; I've had it since March

considering getting the actual microdermal anchor in a similar spot and taking out the surface piercing, but the removal process is holding me back
