Piercings

[turkey154]

I just had my tongue pierced on saturday and was wondering which ABers had piercing and where...also if they hurt you!

=)

I only have my ears and my tongue pierced..Can't remember my ears as i was a baby, and my tongue didn't hurt one bit!

My ears were done as a baby so I can't remember either. I don't think I want anymore piercings though.

Does it not look odd bez when you have more earrings on one side?
Why did you not have both ears the same?

I had my ears done when I was about 12. I then pierced my left ear again myself when I was 15.

Had my belly button done about 6 years ago, but let it heal.

Hi turkey. I have 3 piercings on each ear lobe and 1 on the top of my left ear. I have twice attempted having my nose pierced, but on both occassions it didn't heal at all well and I gave up and took it out :-( My nose was more painful than any of my ear piercings.

Hi Turkey.

Now I have ears and nose.

In the past I had more in ears, one in lip.

I have my hood (Hate that word) pierced but dont wear anything as novelty worse off after about 2 weeks. That hurt like hell. Others didnt really hurt but I was still tense with nerves, and lip is painless as there's not really many nerves in that area.

I had my nose pierced when i was around 13, and i agree that is the most painful piercing i had. Although school made me take it out.

I also had my belly button done too when i was 14 but i ripped it out in PE...Oaaawwie lol

[turkey154]

Goodness Jedi your brave for having there pierced...i cannot imagine the pain lol

[poohshunny]

Hi bez. I have 7 ear piercings in total, 3 on my right ear and 4 on my right ear (the 4th being at the top of my ear). I think that explains it! lol

[poohshunny]

Ooops, that should have been 4 on my left ear. I haven't even had a drink tonight. Honest! Lmao

I have two in each ear, but I don't wear earrings anymore. I got my nose pierced, and wore a stud for years, but took it off.
I now have my tongue pierced, and a labret.
I'm contemplating the same as Jedimistress now...

The nose hurt the most, although the labret hurt quite a bit too. after all, you ARE pushing a huge needle through flesh, it's bound to hurt! Only lasted half a second though, no pain at all once it was done.

How long did you find your tongue took to heal Max? My piercing was either my tongue or a Labret, and i didnt want my mum to freak out if i came home with something on my face lol

[~max~]

I have to stress I got my nose pierced at 18, my tongue at 21 and my labret 3 months ago, and I'm 30. So not a teenage "rebellion" thing there! lol

My tongue healed very quickly. I had trouble eating solid food for a couple of days, but it was fine after that. No slurring, no difference in my speech at all. But then everybody is different!
Just keep an eye on it, and if it starts hurting, or oozing stuff, give your piercer a call. Tongue piercings should be clean, albeit a bit swollen in the first couple of days. Keep doing the mouth washes after you eat anything, drink anything, or smoke. Non-alcoholic washes are best. Oral B does one.

Thanks for the advice Max..

I'm 20, but my mum would still have had something to say about it, trust me lol

I have my ear lobes pierced once and 'monroe' labret, (had that done before it became a chav status symbol!)

Got my ears pierced...and my nose pierced...and i must say it was only sore for the two seconds it took to pierce. No trouble at all with it. No plans for any more!
