I have wanted my nape pierced for 3 years, I first discovered the piercing on BME when I was looking to get something new done, I had already got 2 cartilage piercing, navel, nose and a beautiful tattoo on my shoulder which I was still in love with even though it had been done for over a year. I couldn't work out whether to have another piercing or carry on with the tattoo project on my back that I was planning. I really wanted a blue moon on the opposite shoulder and three stars at the bottom of my spine ...

To start with, I should probably give a bit of background to this. I used to work on the checkouts at a supermarket, around the time when I first became interesting in piercings and other body modifications. One day while I was working a girl came in with a Madison piercing, and I immediately fell in love with it. Being the nosy person I am I started chatting to her about it, and that night looked it up on BME for some more info. To my supreme disappointment I discovered it had an unbelievably low success rate, and I REALLY ...

So a few month ago I wrote a little tidbit about a set of rib surface bars my friend did on me. They ended up in his portfolio and have done extremely well in getting him some more experience, I mean everyone has to start somewhere right. I was very happy to have been his pincushion. Haha. Anyways, this experience is a bit of an extension on that, we ended up putting two more surface piercings into my ribs, but in a slightly different area. As I said a four step "ladder" on either side of my ribcage would have ...

There was actually no question in my mind of whether or not I wanted a nape piercing. I hadn't planned, exactly, to do it on my 18th birthday, but it just sort of worked out that way. I went into HTC because they are clean, and familiar (I have been in several times before to admire their large body jewelry collection) and because I knew where it was actually located. (I have problems with getting lost.) Anywho, I knew I had the money, and I was going to call before going in, but I decided it would be worth the ...

Corset piercings have always interested me, I have always wanted one because I have found them visually exciting and I have a deep love for corsets and any other clothes that might have a corset effect on them, for instance some pencil skirts of mine and also a few gothic dresses. I just find there is something very endearing about the look of laced up clothing and I wanted to continue this love affair onto my skin. On the day I had arranged to be pierced I went shopping for some jewelry. I wanted some kind of surface bars that ...

January 29, 2007: The date of my first "real" piercing. Up until that day, only my ears and navel had been pierced. (Since everyone and their mother seem to have a navel piercing nowadays, it doesn't seem to count!) For some time now, I have been perusing the images and experiences on BME, trying to decide what fit me best. I didn't want a piercing that I would see coming and going, so-to-speak. After much debate (and some Photoshop experiments!) I finally decided on a nape piercing. I found them to be elegant and uncommon enough to not see one ...

So December 05 I had finally decided I was getting my nape pierced and knew where I would get it done. Down the road from my college was a tattoo studio called artistic tattooing and I really trusted them there. They had done a few piercings for me previously and their aftercare was awesome. I had spoken to the guys about nape piercings and they actually tried to put me off the idea due a to a bad experience had with surface piercings by one of them. I was grateful for the advice but didn't listen. On the day I ...

So, let me start out by telling you about myself. I am 18 years old, and i have always loved the look of piercings. They are something unique that can set you apart from others, and they are a great conversation piece. I have 2 other piercings besides the one I will be talking about, and my ears. I have the lower part of my bellybutton, and a horizontal hood. I have also had my nipples pierced but I took them out because an inexperienced piercer made one crooked. This experience is not with that piercer. I wouldnt trust her ...

My older brother got his tongue pierced when I was about 14, and I would pinpoint this as the moment when my fascination with body piercing kicked in. I suppose you could say I was young and impressionable, and the fact that my mam didn't like it certainly helped! I couldn't wait until I was 18 and could get my first piercing done. The day after my birthday I went and got my tongue done. I think it was because I worked in a supermarket where visible piercings weren't allowed, and also the fact I couldn't think of anywhere else ...

Despite what I have told me piercer, my mom, and my friend that came with me to get this done, I've only really wanted my clavicles pierced for a few weeks. I've always known about the piercing, but I never thought it would be for me, but a week or two ago, that all changed. I decided that I really liked the look of the piercing and since I took my nose ring out a few days earlier, I was missing having a piece (or two) of metal sticking out from my body. I first tried a place called Primal ...
