Since I was 9 and saw my mom's roommate's navel piercing, I've been fascinated with piercings. I've been wanting to get my nose pierced in particular since I was about 12. My mom didn't give in then, and I'm sort of glad she didn't. I made sure I really wanted this piercing and researched it. I've been glued to BME for months, looking around the whole site, but also focusing on nostril piercing pictures and devouring as many stories as possible to get an idea of what the routine is, how most people responded to the pain, etc. A few ...

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the way piercings look. They are beautiful, but also unusual and exotic. When I started my own mods, I loved the way that they made me feel, like I stood out, was somehow different. They even gave my good-girl image an edge of subversiveness. For years I had especially wanted a nostril piercing (they're not so common where I live as they are in some other areas). My parents refused to take me to get it done, not that I was surprised, as they consistently tell me how much they ...

So here is the background of it all: for my birthday, the ONLY thing I wanted was the one thing I knew I couldn't have. I wanted my nose pierced just as I had since I could pretty much remember. The huge snag in this whole process was I was just plain to sick to do it. My health had been dramatically declining in the past few weeks so I knew I would have to put it off. I waited and waited and waited and finally I saw enough improvement that I thought it would be alright to do. I ...

I was seventeen and felt that it was time for me to get a new piercing. I wanted my septum done. At this point I'd only had my left lobe pierced and that had been with a piercing gun and not with a needle. Needless to say, I was extremely nervous about getting my septum pierced. Having never been pierced with a needle, I had no frame of reference for what the pain would be like but I knew that I had to "suck it up" and "bite the bullet" or I'd be kicking myself for not going through with ...

Last year my friend got her nose pierced, and I thought it looked brilliant, and wanted one myself. However, me and my parents have always had this rule of: 'No facial piercings', and I'd always been ok with it, because they'd been ok with my tattoos & stretch piercings. But the urge to go out and let someone stick sharp things through my nose was becoming overwhelming, and I was sure that it would suit me, and hopefully not hurt.. So over the Christmas holidays last year, I called my best friend (who is like my piercing buddy, we always ...

I have had my left nostril done twice; once when I was 18 and the other when I was 21. I had to take it out the first time because I ended up getting incarcerated. The first time was easy enough. Fairly tolerable pain, but I had an amazing piercer who always made me feel very relaxed. [Colter from Ink Shop Tattoos, formerly Fry Street Ink in Denton, TX...he may be at a different shop...call and ask, he's wonderful!!!] When he put it in, it was a little uncomfortable but not unbearable. It was like a pinch, and I did ...

I have been thinking about getting a nose piercing since I was about 16, and my dad had already approved of it, but some reason or another I waited 2 years to actually get it! So, one day I was hanging out with a friend of mine, when the subject of piercings came up. She has had a Labret for a while now, and I asked where she had got it done. She said she got it done in a place in the downtown area of the city called Tattoo's Unlimited. She said she really liked the piercers, the atmosphere, ...

By nature, humans strive to do what they feel is necessary, or in some cases, what they feel is right. I am a frequent viewer of BME, and of piercings in general. I aspire to be a piercer when I grow up, and I have a overly-decent amount of knowledge for nearly 50+ piercings. I am on BMEZine.com every single day, investing countless hours browsing photos and experiences when I should be indulging in the wonders of trigonometry or biomed. With that said, I hope you realize by now that I am a piercing-fanatic. Past: Let's rewind two years, give ...

I had never considered myself a body mod kind of person; in fact, I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 15 out of an unholy fear of the pain (since I have ridiculously low tolerance and sensitive skin). However, as my approaching 18th birthday became a reality, I began to think I might like to try a facial piercing. After thinking it through, I chose a standard nose piercing--after all, I reasoned, if it sucked, I could just take it out. They seemed pretty timeless and not too trendy, so if I decided I liked it, I could ...

Since I've come to university, every year I've got to get a new piercing. Its tradition. For my birthday last year, I was gifted a Monroe piercings (which will be a story for another day) and so this year I was considering either a tattoo or getting my septum pierced. A week or so before my birthday I woke up with an intense want to get a piercing. I spent all afternoon looking and obsessing about what one I wanted to get. Septum piercings I had always wanted, but I feel that not a lot of people can pull it ...
