Magic Madonna

Isn't it funny how sometimes the piercing you just got was the one you never thought you would get? This was the case with me and my madonna (a.k.a upper labret). It began over six months ago when I took my beloved piercing book to work, and my buddy instantly decided she wanted a monroe. Two days later, it was done. Two weeks later I decided to re-pierce my retired conch, which was the start of a whole lot of re-piercings for me as well as a couple of new ones. When the piercing bug bites, it hits hard. So ... read more

DIY Snakebite!

I`ve been extremely interested in piercings ever since I pierced my own helix in grade 7. I am 14 now, and I currently have 15 piercings, 14 of those done by myself. Stupid, I know. But my two favourite piercings I have are both my liprings. I`ve been absolutely DYING for liprings since I was like 11. I remember in grade 7 I tried to pierce my lip, I didnt even barely get through any skin, but being in an all girls catholic uniform school, that wouldn`t have been able to stay anyways. So anyways, it was THIS summer of ... read more

Magical Medusa

I woke up one morning last month and decided "today is the day I get my medusa pierced!" Which, the thought itself, was a bit strange as I'd never really liked them. An old best friend of mine had her medusa pierced and, to be honest, it never really appealed to me. But that day, something inside me changed. Suddenly, medusa's were one of the most beautiful piercing out there and I just HAD to have it done that day. Not being one to decide and then leave then and there to get it done, although I'd love to, I ... read more

Dimples to my freedom.

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 ... read more

they're little anchors in my cheeks

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 ... read more

Labret - My first piercing

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 ... read more

Can I borrow your credit card?

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 ... read more

The Vertical Labret - A Masterpiece

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. ... read more

Labret piercing bubble

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 ... read more

The life and death of an empowering piercing

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 ... read more
