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 oldest is a smiley face brand that I did with the top of a lighter. It’s on my left hand. Right by my thumb.
I was 14, which makes it about 14 years old. Half my life! Wow!

Awww…I can only hope my piercings will last as long as some peoples’ in here 🙂
Wrist was the first. It will be 2 come April. Got it when I was 24. Oldest mod would be the tattoo I got at 17 though.
*munches on memories*

Wow, I feel young. My hand scarification will be going on seven years soon, and I did that when I was about twelve or thirteen. It’s almost completely gone now – I didn’t know much of what I was doing at the time, and didn’t know how to make it keep. But it looked cool the first year after it was done.
So cool to hear about everybody’s old mods :p

My oldest still existant piercing that is not a lobe is my center labret that i’ve begun to stretch in the past months.
Did it when i was 15 så that would be 7 years ago
I do however wanna take some credit for my first lobe piercing as well.
Did it when i was 7 years old and it was by my own choice.
I had prepared a massive speech for my parents trying to persuade them to let their 7 year old son pierce his ears.
All the response i got when i entered the kitchen,looked at my parents and telling them i wanted it was from my father saying “sure,just let me finish my coffee.”
I dropped my chin to the floor and then we went to the local barbershop and had it done with those old crappy piercing pistols.
Proud as ever i got to school the next day and were called gay for the remeinder of that month.
I’m now 22,both ears pierced and stretched to 27mm(+ that glitch alowing me to get my pinky between my ear and the jewelry)

1991 Self done labret with a needle balanced on a table. Influenced by Modern Primitives book. Dragged my lip down over it slowly. Put a BCR in that was too small. First vertical labret invented !!! 🙂
Did my PA in 1992 and septum (THE most painful experience ever.
1993 did 4 shaft piercings and 1 scrotum one.
1994 pierced the web of my hand – went septic after 4 weeks and then immediately removed.
Have now been piercing myself (and others) for about 17 years.

I’ve had my nostril since I was fourteen, so it’s only three years old.

My first piercing of any sort was my navel when I was 18. That’s closing in on 10 years ago. I didn’t have my lobes pierced until my 21st birthday, you can imagine the piercer’s thrill at having 21 y/o “virgin” lobes in his shop.

I’ve been tattooed & pierced half my life now too (just). My first tattoo is now 16 years old, same for navel ring (although that’s been redone). Damn, think I just gave my age away…

My first was a frenum piercing I did when I was 38 or 39 years old, followed within a few months by both nipples. I am now 62 years old so, 23 or 24 years.

I got my ears pierced after begging my mum for it for months. I was five. She took me to the doctor and he did them both with a needle. Good on mum for being wary of guns! Ill be twenty six in june, and my lobes are now 14mm, thanks to good placement.

My septum piercing is a good fifteen years old now. I rarely wear jewelery in it anymore, but the hole is still there and ready to go.

Let’s see I’m 28… my original lobes are …probably 20 years old or so now, my tounge is 11 years old and my oldest tattoo is … 10 years old. Wow. I hadn’t realized I’ve been modded for a decade already.

I had my lip pierced 3 times and my tongue done about 13 years ago when I was in my early 20′s. The piercer had apprenticed at Guantlet. Shortly after I tattooed my ankles myself when I discovered an old tattoo machine lying around the animal hospital where I worked. No one ever got around to using it on dogs but….

lobes gunned @ 16 and scalpelly-corrected @ 18, and i’m almost 22 now, so my lobe holes are about 5 years old.
my first tattoo (which still isn’t done) was started about 4 and a half months ago. i have a long way to go and a lot of skin to attend to!
