So this isn't really just a story of my new wonderful dimples or sparkles as I call them, it's also about finding my freedom. Way back in high school one way or another I got labeled weird and strange and this was in the Bay Area, home to San Francisco and Berkeley where being different is embraced. My hair was a different color every week and I was one of the first students to get her tongue pierced. At the time, it was all about me being me with maybe a dash of rebellion thrown in. By the time college ...

It's only been a week since I got dermal anchors in my cheeks but they are by far two of my favorite piercings. I had been thinking for a while about getting cheek piercings even though the only place I had seen them was in pictures of people online. I was at the beach with some of my friends, and I saw a woman who had gorgeous cheek piercings. Seeing the piercings in real life was what made me decide I should finally bite the bullet and get it done. I did a lot of research online, and found Enigma ...

Some background: This all happened about five years ago while I was in the second year of university and about 20 years old. At the time I was heavily in to the hardcore / metal scene in London. I spent a lot of time at shows, clubs and bars hanging out with friends and fooling around. A lot of friends and acquaintances were heavily tattooed and pierced and I found myself itching to get something done. One of my mates (who's known as Nipples Pete!) had his nipples pierced and was forever going on about getting some more piercings. I'd ...

I never in a million years thought I would get a piercing. Needles freak me out, I thought they just weren't for me. I didn't really start wanting one till right after my 18th birthday. I started with my nose but about a month later I got the so called "itch". Any piercing I have has been an impulse pierce. I get bored and pick something to pierce, and thanks to this lovely studio in my town, American Graffiti, this hasn't been a very expensive habit. Every Friday American Graffiti offers a special they like to call "$5 Fridays" Any ...

I have wanted a vertical labret for about 3 years now. My mom always said that I would have to wait until I was 18 for me to get it, but I knew that I could convince her.Two weeks ago, we were in the area of the studio with a friend of mine, and we were trying to think of something to do. I randomly blurted out "Let's go get my lip done." I wasn't expecting any other answer but No, but to my surprise my mom actually said okay!!!! She said it was an early birthday present to me. ...

This was not my first piercing, by the age of 15 I had, had many piercings but the only ones remaining were my eyebrow and my belly button, I'm lucky enough to have very broad minded parents who gave their consent to each and every piercing I have received. I decided to get the center of my lip pierced as I had already had one on the side and I had a scar in the center of my lip from where a friend who decided to frisbee a road sign at my face! I thought it would be an ideal ...

So at the age of 14, I desperately wanted a lip piercing, but I knew that never, in a million years, would my parents agree to this in any way, shape, or form. My father was about the strictest parent in the world. I wasn't allowed to go out with my friends more than once a month. I was limited to 3 phone calls a day, no more than 10 minutes each, and they had to be at least one hour apart. I wasn't allowed to get my hair cut, not even a trim, until I was in the 8th ...

For a long time I had been working at a job that I hated. My boss constantly argued about the smallest things. My earrings were unacceptable, my hair color was unacceptable even though I was hired with it, and I even lost my beloved septum ring to that job. When I had finally had enough and quit, I decided to treat myself to a vacation and flew out to Phoenix for a weekend to celebrate that amongst other things. A few days before leaving I realized it had been a good six months since my last piercings. At the beginning ...

So here's my story, Ive self-pierced my labret a long time ago and always had trouble finding unique jewelry for it. I bought long spikes, half domes, and whatever else I could find that wasn't some plain steel ball. After so long, I really got tired of my limited options. I had visited BME's website several times and had always had an interest in the subject of Lip stretched/scalpelling but I knew I could never be able to handle scalepelling my labret, and even if i did I would probably have trouble finding a reputable person to help me with ...

If you've ever had a cavity filled at the dentist, you know they numb your mouth with numby-stuff that's injected into your cheek by a huge needle. THAT hurt way worse than piercing my lip. I'm 16 years old. A year and a half ago, my older brother pierced his own lip in a very un-safe and un-sterile way using a safety-pin and an earring. (For the sake of this being available to lots of people, I must say PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO WHAT HE DID!) "Eww" was my first thought. But after a while (and after he got real ...
