Pic's of my friend's unique piercing...

[Uabassoon]

Your friend is very beautiful, but I dont really like the peircing too much. However if she likes it then that's all that really matters. I do however love gauged ears as long as they aren't too large. I have mine gauged, but I don't think I want to go any bigger then where I'm at now.

This was right after I had gotten them stretched to a 0 gauge so my ear is a little red and swollen.

I was hanging out with a friend over winter break and we were seeing a movie. Outside of Neo Tokeyo (a kick arse mini-resturant) talking, a teenager walked by....his holes were GINORMOUS. He had to have them the biggest size it could go..Like 15s or something. The holes were hanging down on his shoulders...I think it would be col to have them smaller, but THAT huge was just disgusting.

15s are actually rather small, I believe. Lol

[GoldenRetrLuver]

I was just going to say that lol.
They'd have to be over 00's.

Laura, that's really cool. I think that's a nice size.

[RubyMutt]

15's are small. I don't think that's even a usual gauge... 16 is.

The larger the whole, the smaller the number. 1's are a huge gauge.

I *love* that gum piercing. I would love to have that done if my job permitted it. It's against company policy to have more than 2 holes in our ear lobes (I have my naval pierced also, but I don't expose my stomach while I'm at work...)

I think those flames look great. I love the coloring, and they're so unique. You see a lot of flames on people, but those are really different. I love them! Is that a lotus you have? (I have a lotus tattoo in that same area of my back).

Tonya I just saw the pictures of your tattoos, I really like them. Here's one of my, this is my favorite. It's a steel drum with wings, I got it right after my first trip to Trinidad to study steel drums.


Here's another one of my tattoos, my best friend and I both have them. We went out and got matching tattoos before he moved away for grad school.

Eyelid piercing, anyone?

Seriously, I find all of this piercing just gross. Nostril piercings and belly buttons don't disgust me, but labret, eyebrow, genital and septum piercings are just try hards.

But, besides doing it because it "looks cool" does anyone even think about the possible infections/ramifications of this??? EYELID PIERCING!!! Come on, now...

[trayi52]

Soledad, thats an attrative picture........Now that would have to hurt, wouldn't it?

I am really confused about gauged ears, what I want to see is what it looks like without the earrings or whatever they are called. I didn't even know that existed! My daughter has probably heard of it, but not me. Sorry, I don't understand it. Remember, I am not a young person and that is just something I haven't heard about.

I suppose I could ask my daughter....

I can't believe I actually read though this entire thread.
I must be bored out of my mind. Anyway, Tonya,
I do like the shoes. I'm outta here.

I think it's awesome she had the guts to do that. If they suit people then I don't see them as "disgusting" at all. But I do think some piercings in certain places are wrong.

I have mixed feelings about piercings just because it depends where it goes. *shrugs* To each their own, I guess.

[Uabassoon]

trayi here's a picture of my ear without the plug (earring) in it.

[trayi52]

Uabassoon, that had to hurt, didn't it? I mean it don't look that bad. The plug? looks really great! Thanks for showing me.

I used to tease my kids that I was going to get my eyebrow pierced. I always thought those were cute. I seen a girl with her nose pierced and I thought that looked good too.

The tongue piercing I don't like..., but then I am old so who cares!!

If you take care of piercings properly and get them done professionally -- they shouldn't get infections.


I've never seen an 'eyelid piercing' in person, and that picture isn't really best of quality. I never thought it'd be possible, but then again I don't see how genital piercings could be possible.

Yeah my friends' piercer admited to the mistake of doing it wrong and was apparently freaking out on how dumb she was. She told her she'd give it to her free the next time. Mistakes happen, I guess. Luckily, it wasn't too bad.

Christina Aguilera has a genital piercing, I believe.

[Soledad]

You cannot have your eyes, gums or genitals pierced without the risk of infection. Those areas are prone to infection because they are close to mucus membrane. It has nothing to do with how properly it was done. Additionally, piercers have no medical qualifications.

Wicked! I wouldn't want one done on me because it just wouldn't look good on me but I think it looks pretty good on your friend. I'd love to get an industrial and labret...but I'm such a chicken when it comes to pain.

What's an industrial?
