Maybe just one more?

The 17th lip piercing was probably one too many...

hmm some people suit it but I personally I will stick to the ears and belly button...definately not going anywhere near my nose

THAT is definitely too many.


That said, I luuuurve body piercings. Some look goofy with them, but most people can find a something that'll look gorgeous on them!

A good site with information on tattoos, piercings, and other bod mods is: www.bmezine.com

Holy shit!!!

I am glad I only have my ears pierced.

Wow.

I love piercings. Unfortunately, my body doesn't really appreciate then. My earlobes were hard to heal, my upper ear cartilidge piercings were a nightmare (took them out), my nipple piercings rejected (took them out; will redo them when I can afford it), and I'm currently rehabilitating an angry tragus. The only piercing I've ever had go well was my first tragus.

Despite that, I'm gonna redo those nips and I'd kinda like to do my belly button. I'd like a lower lip, but I'm too afraid of scarring on my face.

When Is It Too Many Piercings?

I would say when you can put your finger through your tongue

i cant believe she is wearing blue eyeshadow

I have 2 in each ear and my nose. I think that will do it for me!

I actually see Elaine parading around Glasgow quite often. She's certainly not your average Glaswegian. Funny biscuit but her crumbs are worth more than most people's cake. Of course, she's mentally ill and should be locked up for her own good. It's funny when she shouts at the pigeons, though. Figure of fun. Wasted life. Or maybe she's more alive then any of us. Still wouldn't shag her though.

2,520 piercings? It seems to me that the aftercare would be a serious burden. Also, I wonder what kind of stress that type of piercing activity would place upon the body's immune system.

Anyway, here's what I've got:

• Left earlobe (1994... done at a mall kiosk with a piercing gun, before I knew better)
  
• Navel (1995)
  
• Right nipple (1995, removed 1997 due to healing trouble, repierced 2002)
  
• Tongue (1996, removed 1997... too bad, as it was done by legendary piercer Jon Cobb, but I chipped a molar on the jewelry and decided that the risk of future injury wasn't worth it)
  
• Left nipple (2002)
  
• Right earlobe (2003... this time done the proper way, by a professional piercer)
  

There may be no more piercings for me in the future, due to professional concerns. I've now entered the world of tattooing, as I have a symbol (no, not the symbol) inked on the back of my neck. (Collared shirts and turtleneck sweaters cover it for professional situations.) However, I expect that if I get additional ink in the future, it'll happen more slowly... tattoos cost more, involve more of a commitment, and require a lot of time to come up with a suitable design (I refuse to pick "flash" art off the studio wall).

You know, a link will do.

That is NASTY!!!! I just took out my tongue piercing a few weeks ago and let me tell you, kissing is soooo much better and sensual without it. What was I thinking the last 10 years??? The lip, boobies and navel stay though

Maybe for you. And let me tell you, Mr. Happy really appreciates a good tongue piercing.

The following are also mighty fine:

labret
nipples
"marilyn monroe"

That's what I'm sayin'.

i only have my ears and belly and that's enough for me.

i do have to say that even though i would never ever want to be as pierced as that lady, i do think that she looks beautiful in a strange way. i could do without the finger through the tongue though. that's a bit much.

Besides my ears, I only have my "hood" pierced right now, and I love it. I'll always keep it, it feels amazing. I took the tongue ring and navel ring out because they just kinda got old. I also had my nipple pierced (just the right one, like JJ, lol) but I took it out because it started to "reject" a little (nasty, huh?), so I had to let the piercing close to avoid a nasty, deformed nipple thing goin' on later on.

When Is It Too Many Piercings?


you are the only one that can answer that question ... and only for yourself


to each his ( or her ) own

perhaps we should ask this guy... however i'm pretty just one in each ear lobe



i know this was posted somewhere before - had to save it to show my nieces what not to do

Do you really think it's better for oral sex? I don't...I did for a long time but I don't think so anymore. It just gets in the way.

CarrieLee said:

Yes. A stud on the tongue just adds a little more variation and - as we all know - when it comes to touch, variety is the spice (unless you're getting near "completion", in which case don't you dare change what you're doing, or I'll kill you, motherfucker! ).

Ace said:

Eh to each their own. But personally, I don't need a stud to make the experience better I gots my own skills and secrets! lol

CarrieLee said:

I'm sure you do. I guess there's also something visually appealing about a tongue piercing. It's probably the same reason we find certain other body modifications a turn-on; they're signifiers.

Ace said:

Yeah I hear ya. But now my labret will just have to do. And others if the person is lucky enough to see them

luv4u said:

Me too! And only one hole per ear too. I wouldn't pierce any other body part except for perhaps my nose, but that would be it. It's so disgusting to see piercing such as this.
