Not including modifications that were forced on you — circumcisions, ear piercings as a baby, and so on — what’s your oldest non-earlobe body modification? The reader in this entry tells me that she got her nipple pierced seventeen years ago at the Gauntlet in NYC — she’s 56 years old now and still loving it!
My nipple piercing (retired) will also turn seventeen on February 14, with my first tattoos turning 19 this year, meaning that I’ve had them for over half my life now. Roo and I were talking about our tongue splits as well, with 1998 being the year that tongue splitting exploded in popularity, many people will soon be walking around — still happy, like the woman below — with decade old split tongues.

My nostril piercing is 16 years old, and my tongue piercing (and my first tattoos) are 14 years old, so I’m a member of the half-my-life club, too. Wow, that’s kind of crazy to think about. 🙂

I had my left inner conch pierced on my 16th birthday. Almost 7 years later (wow!) I have two in each conch and my left daith pierced.

I’m such a youngin’, my oldest non earlobe body bod is my nostril piercing, which is going on 5 years (i got it when I turned 16). Next to that is my year old rib tattoos. My body mods have quadrupled since then. lol.

damn, could just be the contrast, but she is looking pretty fucking hot for 56.
my first was my ear back in about grade one or two and after that in the next 6 years i had it taken out and repierced about 15 or so times. i love it that much.

my parents didn’t let me get a non lobe piercing til i was of legal age and STILL hate that i did get them. first tattoo was 2 days after my 18th which was the love park sign on my left calf, first non lobe piercings were my snakebites like 5 months after my 18th, which i just recently took out and repierced because i was tired of them being crooked. so me being 21 now, my oldest is only 3 years… such a youngin =(

I pierced my bellybutton myself when i was 14 (15 years ago) but it rejected. Pierced my left lobe at the same time. Re-pierced (professionally) my bellybutton 11 years ago, when I was 18, about 3 months before I got my right nipple pierced. Oldest tattoos are 10 years. Got the first 2 within a month of each other. Just the beginning of a lifetime of mods. yay!

Hah, how intimidating, my oldest piercing (pubic surface bar) is only 1 and a half years old. That rejected though (although I’ve had it re-done since), so I guess my oldest piercing is my apadravya @ 1 year and 4 months old.
That means I was 18 and 3 months old when I got it.
It seems like so long, but in reality it’s such an inconsequentially small amount of time 🙂

i pierced my own earlobes at 15 …I actually attempted scarification at 14, but it got filed under self-mutilation and i wasn’t very good at it…so there’s no permanent scars that anyone but me can see.
other than that…helix, i think about 2.5 years old now. feels like longer. damn thing still isn’t healed right!
i’m 22 now and i have 5 lobe piercings (2 at 8g, 3 at 16g), the helix, double nostrils, septum (stretched to 8 from 14), tongue, nipples and VCH.
I need more.

I gotta say she is hooot. She doesn’t look like she’s even in her mid-twenties. As for me I got my first piercing, eyebrow, 5 years ago, and first tattoo 2 years ago. Currently also have done middle of lip, 0g and 18g in the bottom of my ears, and a second tattoo.

Aside from my earlobes, which I’ve had for 12 years or so, my oldest would be my tongue, which I had done when I was 18, so 7, almost 8 years ago. Damn, I’m closing in on being as old as I feel.

Stunning lady!
My oldest mods would be (not counting scars from my first foreys into modification at a very young age) my nipple piercings (horizontal), they’re just over 8 years old now.

i diy’d my helixes when i was about twelve/thirteen, was forced to take them out by my mom soon after. i then diy’d my right helix twice at sixteen and those are, i suppose, my oldest mod.
