ince i was 12 i had been begging my parents to let me get my tongue pierced. they always said, "not until you're 18". i had also been bugging them to let me get my tongue pierced, which they really hate. anyway, they finally agreed to let me pierce my navel. i checked out a lot of places, to be sure to find a very clean studio. there was one i really liked, but they wouldn't pierce me until i'm 18. i decided i would go to the place my cousin gets pierced at, even though it's not all that ...

oday I got a septum piercing at Ars Subcutan in Mannheim, Germany. It's now about 6 hours old and still sore. :) I had had an information & counseling appointment on Saturday, three days ago, to clear all open questions, check if my nose was suitable for such a piercing and choose the jewelry. We then decided on a 10ga black anodized stainless steel retainer - Wulf (the piercer at Ars Subcutan) won't pierce septa (I was just told that's the correct plural for septum - so don't laugh please ;) at anything smaller than 12ga and since I want ...

This whole incident was completely unplanned. My friend owns a tattoo and body piercing shop, and we were there late one night; October 24, 1997. I leisurely asked him if he wanted to pierce my septum. He said sure. He has given me two tattoos, a small piece on my back and a large armband on my right arm, and pierced my tongue and my lobes, which I am stretching. He keeps a few surgical stainless wires around to make jewelry out of, so I made myself a 14ga septum retainer. After sterilization it was ready to go. My friend ...

have wanted to get my eyebrow pierced for about 4 years. Before I ever saw anybody that had actually had that done. I've always been fascinated by body piercings, and I just thought to myself " wow, my eyebrow would be a great place to get pierced. " My parents, however, disagreed. At this time I was only 14 years old. So I'd have to just wait. Finally, 4 long years later I was 18. I had to wait a few weeks after my birthday because I didn't have any ID. All the tattoo places in Memphis religiously ID everyone. ...

I don't know if this is okay because we had to do it ourselves. But I mean it seemed the only way to get it done, and after over a dozen new holes, none of them ever got infected and they all turned out well, so, I'm hoping that this submission won't be rejected and I'll be able to see how others' thumbwebs turned out. Anyway, my story follows. Thumb Web. When all this started all I had in the way of body modifications was a hole in each ear, and a small "J" scar done a few years ago ...

ad thought about getting both ears pierced a while ago. I hadnt seriously thought about it untill recently when I decided I wanted to pierce both my ears to 8 gauge. While I was deciding wether i would do this or not, i also began to think about an eyebrow piercing. I always thought eyebrow piercings look really cool, espically with a barbell. I decided I was going to go for it and get my eyebrow, and my ears pierced the next weekend. I had saved up the money, now all I needed was the time. I was in NYC, ...

remember as a child when I first became attracted to body piercings. My mother took a girlfriend and me to a carnival which was in town. As we wandered around the back lot we came across a tent, and through the open flap we saw a young mother nursing her baby. She smiled and invited us to come in. Immediately my gaze riveted on all the gold rings she was wearing. I had never seen so many rings, especially on one person. She had gold rings on her fingers and toes, and more rings pierced through her ears and nose. ...

Well, I decided to have another go with piercing the nips. Since I had a little money saved up, Monday, January 19th., found me back in THE URBAN TRIBE with Scott. The first piercings had been right at the bases of the nipples but then I had had some nipple growth and it looked like we could pierce again right at the bases and be just below where the needle had gone the first time--maybe dipping into the areola just a bit. I liked this "dipping into the areola just a bit" thinking those tissues would be stronger and the ...

there. I have a very painful tale to tell to warn others of the perils.............If possible, I would like to contribute to your ezine.............if not possible, perhaps you can warn others...............thank you for your consideration! I had my nipple pierced several months ago and it healed in a couple of weeks with no problems whatsoever, very little pain and I totally loved it!!! That was my foray into body piercing besides politically correct and conservative pierced ears! After the success, I proceeded to have my navel, labia and hood pierced..........easy, very little pain and healed quickly.........except for my stubborn navel, ...
