I have just gotten my naval pierced for the 4th and hopefully final time. The previous two times were done improperly and/or my aftercare procedures were not correct. The first time I got it done was at the Gauntlet in San Francisco about 11 years ago. Great place, very professional, friendly, clean and careful. The Gauntlet had a great reputation and most of my friends got pierced there, so I felt confident to go there to get it done. The piercing itself did not hurt, didn't feel a thing. Just felt the clamp and then he told me it was ...

Ever since I was 16 I wanted my belly button pierced. My friend Samantha was the first person I knew who had her belly button pierced and I feel in love with the piercing the first time she showed it to me. I knew I wanted one! Of course my parents wouldn't go for the idea. They gave me the whole "when your 18 you can get it done". I guess they thought I would never really get it done because I'm not a big fan of needles, or pain. My 18th birthday came and went and it seemed like ...

Alright so my little piercing adventure starts out with my sister having got her navel pierced around 4 years ago, and I loved it on her. Since then I've always wanted my navel pierced, so when I got to the age she was at, which was 16, my parents finally allowed me to get mine done! This actually surprised me to say the least because I had to beg my mom. So anyway, it was about a week ago that I had run the idea of my mom saying I could get my navel pierced by my dad, and he ...

Well. To start off my name is Mara. I've ALWAYS really liked piercing, before getting my belly button don't I'd already had 7 piercing. But, about my Belly now. So, I'd been asking my mom for about a year about getting my belly button done. And she said in 6 months I could get it, I knew she didn't mean it thought. But, about 8 or 9 months later I just asked, she was a little hesitant at first but then she was like "fine. Whatever. I'm NOT paying for it." I was ecstatic. I bugged her about it ALL ...

The summer before high school started I made an agreement with my mom. She promised me that if I got all A's freshman and sophomore year, that I would be allowed to pierce my belly button. So of course I got all A's. So, today the time had come to go get it pierced. The place I got it pierced at (Lady Luck in Waterford, Michigan) required you to make an appointment, so I scheduled it for 3:00 pm on Monday, June 18th. The days before all I could do was think about how exciting it will be. I wasn't ...

Anyone who knows me even the slightest bit can tell you this fact: Tiffany vowed to get a piercing on her eighteenth birthday. Ask anyone, even my unsupportive parents. I'd been researching for years prior to the day, which happened to be July 12th. I wrote down notes on the healing process and what to look for in a clean shop. Hell, I even set up a little notebook designed to monitor my healing wound. When the time came to lift my shirt for my nipple piercing, I blushed. To my surprise, it wasn't the nipple I didn't want to ...

Background So, a bit of background information first. A few years ago, I got my standard navel piercing. I was thirteen or fourteen, and didn't know anything about it other than it looked 'pretty'. None of my friends had any piercings other than the standard gunned lobes, and they actually threatened to stop being friends with me if I got mine. Well, I had my priorities, and feeling good about myself was right at the top. So, I wrote a note 'from my mom' to the piercer, who was known (and still is) for piercing underage kids, and not piercing ...

My most wonderfullest of piercings. Today is the day before Mother's Day. Mother's Day eve, if you will. I happen to have an exceptionally awesome mother. She's completely amazing and loves me for me, all quirks included. She even accepted my randomly shaved mohawk! Before I get too sappy, I'll begin my new piercing tale. About a month ago I stretched my ears to a 00g. Normally, a newer, larger size looks rather small to me after about a week. This time was quite different; I wore my beautiful Gorilla Glass pieces and it just felt... too big. I felt ...

I was always adamantly against getting my navel pierced, until for some reason, I decided to get it done. The only real concern I had was exercise- I am a bit of a gym junkie and was worried I would have to take time off the gym, and would have trouble exercising with the piercing. I talked to a piercer, and some friends with their bellies pierced who all assured me the exercise would be fine after a few days. So after MONTHS of deliberating, I bit the bullet and got it done. The procedure was simple, choose a jewelled ...

I'd wanted my belly button pierced since one of my best friends had it done when I was about 12. I kept asking my parents but it was no all the way. Even the 'but all my friends have got it done and I'm the odd one out' line just didn't seem to work. I met my boyfriend when I was 16 and he thought it looked good too, but I still thought my parents wouldn't agree. My 17th birthday came and went, and I still wanted it done, so I decided to ask once more, this time, they said ...
