It had always been my plan to get my labret done again after I had to take it out because it was slightly off center when I did it myself. The surprise was that I found a ride and was able to get it done a lot sooner than I expected. I usually have to wait at least a month after figuring out what I want to be able to get a ride to get it. I won't go through with the waiting in the lobby because it' was the exact same as it was in my other two stories. ...

Long before the advent of "the scene," when the monroe piercing was still pretty uncommon I suddenly decided I needed one. I was nineteen and feeling rebellious, and my mostly liberal family that had allowed me to dye my hair whatever color I wished and dress however I liked expressly forbade facial piercings. The parlor I picked out on a whim as well. It was called Electric Circus or Masquerade or some such and was on the corner of 12 mile and Woodward if you know the area, I hear it isn't there anymore. I initially picked it because you ...

On my 18th birthday I awoke to my best friend knocking on my door saying "Get ready we're getting pierced!" I showered, got dressed, connected to the internet and immediately started browsing BME. My friend had no idea what this site was, or what it did, and I simply informed her of the just of things and told her this is where I got the idea for my vertical lobe that I had gotten done two years earlier. We decided to get facial piercings, lip piercings to be exact. I was afraid of gum erosion and "destroying my teeth" so ...

La prima volta che ho visto un monroe stavo guardando MTV. Hanno trasmesso un video delle Sugababes: una delle cantanti aveva questo bellissimo piercing. Ho pensato: "che idea carina, un piercing che sembra un neo!". Da allora sono passati tanti anni, ma questo piercing mi è rimasto impresso!Io adoro i nei sopra le labbra! Finchè, quest'estate, l'idea di farmelo è diventata davvero persistente. Ciò che mancava, però, era il coraggio. L'idea di un ago che mi trapassa la carne mi terrorizzava letteralmente, nonostante tutti mi dicessero che non è doloroso. Ho rimuginato per mesi, ho guardato praticamente tutti i video ...

Before I did my labret I hadn't really thought about facial piercing. There was a time when I was 13 when I thought getting my eyebrow pierced would be the greatest thing that happened since radio was free, but because I have sane parents, they didn't let me. Besides that, I had never really thought about any facial modification. Satisfied, I thought, since last year when I pierced my nipple, I didn't really think I'd be getting anything else done any time soon. Which brings me to the spontaneity of it. My girlfriend and I had been wandering about Toronto ...

For my sixteenth birthday in January of 2007, I decided to get myself a present I had been wanting for about 3 years a labret piercing. Looking back now I wouldn't have gone to the studio I ended up going to, although I didn't really have any problems. After taking care of it just how I had been told my labret healed up perfectly and I was very pleased with the results. About 5 weeks after getting the labret I was itching for more, and started browsing around BME for piercing ideas, none of the facial piercings really suited ...

Around the beginning of freshman year, I had started getting into body modification. It all started when I saw a couple "scenesters" with their lips pierced and I had said "I want that." Back then, I only wanted a piercing for superficial reasons. I didn't want it to "fit it" or to "be cool." But I didn't want it because it was a part of who I was. Nowadays, I consider body modification to be a part of who I am, and I believe that nothing can ever change that. I compare it to the nature vs. nurture philosophy, body ...

Bonjour ! Je m'appelle S., j'ai 18 ans et cela fait quelques années que je suis intéressée par les modifications corporelles. J'aime bien BME pour me documenter et généralement je consulte beaucoup ce site avant de faire quoi que ce soit qui touche à une partie de mon corps, exepté bien sûr pour ce qui concerne la coupe des ongles. J'ai déjà quelques piercings aux oreilles, et également un au septum (c'est-à-dire la cloison nasale), au rook (une partie du cartilage de l'oreille), aux tétons, au nombril, un génital, etc. Je suis aussi tatouée. Aujourd'hui, j'écris sur mon expérience du ...

A ver, a ver por donde puedo empezar ... Esta es la primera vez que envio una experiencia a la página de BME. Lo cual no quiere decir que nunca haya recurrido a ellas .. Me gusta mucho ponerme a leer las experiencias que la gente manda, leí muchisimas y me ayudaron bastante. Siento la necesidad de mandar la mia porque considero que son muy útiles para que esta gran comunidad siga creciendo, como también para las personas que recién comienzan con esto de las perforaciónes, para quienes precisan saciar dudas sobre como hacerlo, que precausiones tomar y esas cosas. ...

Two weeks after my 18th birthday I had the funds and most of the courage to get snakebites. The idea hadn't been in my head long and I honestly don't remember how I got the idea stuck in my head to begin with. So that night I called around and finally talked my friend Randi into going with me, she was my tattoo/piercing buddy for that month, having gone with me on my birthday to get my first tattoos where parental consent was not needed. We got there and met Gabe. He had me fill out the form, asked what ...
