I'll start by saying I'm kind of conservative in my piercing choices. I have two holes in each lobe, my left cartilage, and belly button done. All of my previous ear piercings had been done with a gun, and I didn't realize how bad that was until reading up on BME. I like body modifications, but all things in moderation. It is VERY addicting though! It has been almost five months since I got my belly button pierced, and I got bitten by the bug...again. My first choice was a tattoo, but my parents threatened, in so many words, to ...

Note: I first wrote this to be under stretched lobe experiences, however upon review I have decided it makes more sense to send it in as a cultural piece. I'll begin with a brief introduction. I was initially hesitant to write this experience, but the need to join in and share with a community that I have been an avid viewer of, since I was made aware of it a few years ago, is taking precedence. Body modification has fascinated me as far back as I can remember. In this specific experience I will discuss my earlobes, stretching, and subsequent ...

So when I first started modifying my body I had no idea how big of a part of my life it would become. I started getting pierced when I was 15; it quickly became a very big part of life for a few reasons. One was because I loved the way piercing looked, another because I absolutely loved the hole procedure of going into a shop and coming out with a new piercing. Another thing for me at least it just made me feel more comfortable in my own skin. So when I turned 18 I started getting a lot ...

Hello, let me start by saying that my name is Austin and I'm 15. So anyways, this is my experience with stretching my lobes to 5/8". I just started my Sophmore year of high school and I started to stretch somewhere in the 7th grade. I don't really remember why I wanted to start stretching, I must have seen someone with stretched lobes and was fascinated. Like most people who are starting I really didn't have any idea what I was doing. All I knew was that most regular lobes are pierced with an 18g needle and from there the ...

I've had my nose pierced before, but that's pretty much it. I got it done in Vegas about a year ago, and it was a breeze and was over within seconds. I was totally fine. Next, I decided I wanted to get my tragus pierced because it is fairly different from usual piercings and although I have my earlobes pierced, I don't wear earrings because they don't look that great on me. I thought it'd be cool to have a somewhat permanent jewelry piece in my ear that would show when my hair wasn't in the way. I told everyone ...

Ah, lobe stretching. How I love thee. It all started when I was in 6th or 7th grade and first saw a pair of stretched lobes. I instantly knew I wanted them, though I was hesitant at first. My parents weren't exactly thrilled about the fact that I wanted my ears pierced (somehow I "forgot" mention the whole stretching part). They told me I would have to wait until I was at least sixteen, but when that day came, they still weren't having it. I started seeing people with stretched lobes around, and started convincing. I finally half-convinced them, (more ...

I turned 18 a little more than a year ago, and at this point, I decided that I wanted to get something done. I'm Jewish, so I'm pretty sure there's some rule about being buried in a Jewish cemetery with a tattoo. But I really wanted to get something pierced. A couple of years before, I really wanted to pierce my eyebrow. I remember bothering my parents almost every day to get permission. I read stories, I watch videos, and I continued to beg them. My dad eventually gave in, but I needed a unanimous decision from both my parents ...

I've always liked piercings, when I was younger I always wanted more earholes pierced and a belly button piercing. At the start of 2007, I got my belly button pierced which much to my dismay fell out one time when I was drunk and closed up within a day. I knew I wanted another piercing, but I wasn't quite sure yet what... A week before I turned 18, I was in fremantle and walked past a piercing place. I went inside and looked at all the jewellery and thought to myself that I would like to get a new piercing. ...

Where do I begin? Okay so, I saw this piercing on a girlfriend of mine. I live in a very small town where we do have a tattoo and piercing parlor, but it's still taboo to be seen there. Lots of people park a little way down in front of other businesses as to deter peoples attention-silly, yes I agree, but that is life here in tim buck to. My guy who done it-Jim Curtis. A very outspoken man who will tell you to cut the shit and suck it up-he hates winers! Whether getting tattooed or pierced, Jim seems ...

It was the day before my sixteenth birthday and (after a good 7 months of begging, bribing, and arguing) I had finally convinced both of my parents to let me get another ear piercing: and industrial! It was a very long and frustrating journey, and I had conceded to different ear piercings a multitude of times but the industrial was what I really wanted so I fought until I got it. Earlier in the day I was working at a charity walk with my mother, so it wasn't until around 3 in the afternoon that we started calling around. The ...
