st had my ears pierced when I was eleven, and ever since then I have been into body modification. I decided to concentrate on my ears, because at my convent school they would be less obvious. I started reading BME about a year ago and became interested in tragus piercings, and decided that I was going to have that done. So, I went to Southampton, which is about two hours from where we live (the piercers near to me are all useless - most of them didnÕt know what a tragus was) to Millennium Body Piercing. I had been there ...

was 50 years ago that I first pierced my ears. In those days an unheard of thing to do for a guy never mind a girl. As a teenager I had seen several women with pierced ears while on holiday in Ireland and liked the look and then read an article in the Sunday newspaper. Queen Elizabeth had had her ears pierced so she could wear the earrings which go with the crown jewels. With this desciption of how she had it done I decided to try and do it to myself. I had tried wearing rings made out of ...

n seventh grade i had gotten home one day after breaking up with my girlfriend( you know how those gay little 7'th grade relationships are)and i looked in the mirror and i decided that my cartlidge needed to be pierced. so i went into my room and found the little stud they used the last time i had gotten my ears pierced(i had two little regular holes in each lobe)and went into the bathroom. i was kinda nervous at first because i had never pierced myself, myself. but without numbing it i just put the stud through, and there it ...

name is Kimberly, and I live in Halifax, Virginia. A pretty small town; low population, lots of almost retired, close-minded people, and angst-filled young people constantly searching for something to do, and somewhere to go. The few people who are of adult age, who are'nt so close-minded and ignorant, really have no say in important matters of their community and the lifestyles of the individuals living in it. So, people my age(I'm 17, by the way), just have to sorta float around this sleepy town, looking for their own individualisms, their own future--not the future that old gas stations and ...

i am a wuss. I hate needles, and i hate pain. But i wanted to get my ear pierced all the same. I have a strange obsession with metal, and i thought having a piece of metal actually IN me would be the coolest. I also like the image of piercings. My girlfriend has 5 in each ear, and they look so neat. So, after about a month of debating, i decided to go ahead and do it... I started asking around for reccomendations of places to get pierced, and someone suggested to my g/f that we check out Outer ...

>How I got started: My first encounter with stretched earlobes came in, of all places, a movie theater. We had arrived a bit late for a showing of some movie, I don't recall what it was, and the only seats we could find had me directly behind some extremely tall and wide guy. I was craning this way and that trying to find some way to see around him, when I noticed the light shining through his ears, and discovered, to my immense amusement that I could be watching the movie through his ears. Hah, I though it was the ...

been thinking of getting my lobes pierced for a long time. And finally I did it! What is special about that? Not much, you probably see guys with pierced lobes every day. And you are right, but I have wanted this since I was 12-13 years old (I'm 19 now) when a friend of mine pierced his left lobe. I was afraid of my family's reaction. Even when my mother said my friend looked great I did not dare. Some months ago I bleached my hair and I realised that doing that was cool both with my friends and family, ...

rst thing is that I'm a wuss. I'm 17 and I've had my ear lobes pierced 3 times before this experience but they were done with a gun so they had a back on them to irritate my ears. Not to mention I seem to be allergic to both gold and titanium! So, I had to let them close all 3 times. Well, I decided that I was going to get them done with a needle so they could put a circular barbell in. My friend had it done last year and she told me that it only hurt a ...

one Cartilage Peircing by Colin "Wilykat" Bolton Aug 9th 1999 wilykatsden@hotmail.com Before doing this I had read experiences all over BME and looked up on proper procedure. Sterilizing things etc.. I already had my lower left lobe done. Peirced with a gun about 5 months ago jsut because I was 18 and figured it'd be fun. Big deal. So after going through BME and checking out all sorts of other things to do I finally decided on what I'm going to do with my ears. Wanting a upp cartilage pericing on my left was a goal. Then an industrial on ...

ef = "/cgi-bin/vote/votec.cgi?/pierce/01-ear/990801/earprj.html"> My friend had her navel pierced. She came to school with it and i asked her how she did it. she did it herself while talking on the phone with a safety pin. So i thought to myself, hey that sounds cool. So that night i went home and pierced it. It took about 30 minutes or so, with a small safety pin, and it looked like crap (partially because i have a big belly :) and partially because i didn't watch myself do it so it came out crooked and would have eventually migrated because it ...
