I want to get my nipples done. I've heard it doesn't hurt too bad, but I would just be concerned with them accidentaly catching on clothing and such.
I'm going to get my lip tattoo soon too. I want something that means a lot, but it's gotta be small. My boyfriend and I are thinking about getting I <3 (an actual heart) you in eachother's writing. I thought that would be kind of cool because I'm not one for putting names on my body so idk.

I'd like to ask a question about this, from the perspective of an un-inked and un-pierced person.
ncbst3 mentioned her piercing addiction. I've never wanted to get any of this stuff done, so can anyone explain this addiction? I mean, I understand if it's just one of those things you either want or don't want, but I was wondering if anybody could explain it. What's the attraction?
Seriously, I'm not being snarky or sarcastic. Just curious.

nitetimeritetime-- I'll let someone else answer your question... I don't think I could really explain it as well as it needs to be explained. All I can say is once you start, if it's for you, you can't really stop.
I'm thinking either an anti-eyebrow (and then another because I'm weird about symmetry) or my bridge. But who knows? I'll decide when I get there.
Kristen-- I've always loved custom handwritten tattoos. My artist has a bracelet of flowers his daughter drew as well as lyrics his wife wrote out. And like I said, nipples aren't bad, you just have to be really careful and try not to get cold, hehe. You would think wearing a bra would probably be uncomfortable but it actually eases the soreness.
Body art is my personal favorite art, but it is quite often misunderstood, judged, and shunned. The only boundaries that exist are the ones your body has. You can take it as far as your body will let you, letting it become a part of who you are as a person. Identifying who you are, individualizing your look, leading to the ultimate happiness: Loving Yourself, Being YOU. It's a test on your strength, persistence, and dedication. You are the artist, you are the canvas, you are the ART. This is an art that tests your own personal limits and boundaries, leading to being in tune with your whole self. This art is different for everyone and everyone takes there own personal thing from it. It is one of the deepest, oldest art forms that involves so many aspects: Mind, Spirit, Body. You can take anything from it, it's YOUR modification, nobody can dictate to you what you can and cannot do to YOUR body. Modification will last till the end of human time, and people will always discover something new to experience. It's a huge spectrum full of different cultural influences, history, human bonding, and extremes. There's something about it that draws all of us to it, pure curiosity, testing yourself, excitement, the thrill, the extremeness of it all. It can lead to the ultimate trust in people. Putting your pain, your body into the hands of someone else is a human bond that can not be broken. Depending on someone to help you reach your goal. Revitalize yourself, take time to take in: Human Art. In the end no matter what your opinion is, we should all respect what makes people happy and who they are.

I used to have pierced an eyebrow, lip, and tongue.
I took'em all out because of work. I kept the tongue pierced for a bit until I got really hammered at a party and ate a spicy chicken sandwich with lettuce tomato, mayo, and tongue stud. I didn't notice until late afternoon the next day when i woke up and started yacking my guts out and one ball from the barbell came out. I tried looking for the rest of it but it wasn't in there. I just assumed it was going to leave me from the other end.
I may very well still technically "have" a tongue ring.

don't they have a few piercing stations at roo? I thought I remember seeing one but it may have been my imagination. i've seen many things at roo that weren't actually there.
Although Im not ruling out the possiblity of there having been a piercing spot at Roo in the past, I dont remember seeing one. I cant even imagine getting something pierced right before Roo and having to deal with cleaning it and all that while at Roo let alone actually getting something done there. Idk just screams unsanitary to me. However, we are now bonded in the nipple piercing pact and even if we have to do it via satellite....its goin down
Just did my own PA at a 14 going to stretch it though. I only had a few 14 needles laying around it it was kind of an erotic impulse. It didn't hurt at all actually.

Whew boy, you've got some balls. Although I'm sure I could probably handle a genital piercing, I doubt I could ever do it myself... Just never really had the desire for one. Though I'm definitely not against them... my ex had a frenum and a double dydoe... Yeah, definitely not against them
I apprenticed in a shop for about 6 months and I cannot imagine doing a PA myself. Granted I never did a PA in the shop. But I enjoy my wiener too much to risk piercing it myself and anything that can go wrong with it.

^^you my friend are hardcore...no doubt.
I mean Ive watched a couple PAs being done in the shop and while it doesnt look like it would be that complicated, the risk combined with the fact that your sticking a needle through your own....well...again you are hardcore. I hope I get to meet you at Roo cuz I need to shake your hand.
I've had the following: Both ears (stretched to 0ga) eyebrow, labret (side and middle) both nipples and a PA. Everything aside from my first pierced ear, was done at home by myself. BME used to sell piercing needles and that was where I got my supplies.
I too had a PA which I also did myself. I did it after watching The Sweetest Thing back in college. It's long gone now though. I had it up to a 8ga. One word of advice, if you do decide to stretch it (and it will stretch with "use") and take it out, you will now pee out of 2 holes.

Honestly, I'm looking forward to that part. I'm always the first person to be naked and such in any situation. even the ones that do not need nudity so being able to pee out two holes only adds to the fun...
I also hope we can meet up at Roo, Ill most likely goto the brunch thing and Ill wear a big name tag lol

lets see...as of now... ive got 9 in my ears (although there are probably like 5 more holes that i've let close up in various spots around my ears), lip stud on the right side, bellybutton, and a tattoo. i got my tongue pierced twice, but i kept having to take it out for various reasons and eventually just let it close up. i like piercings/tattoos because (for me at least) there's this huge rush of adrenaline that gets me just after the piercing/tattoo is finished. i faint (sometimes, but not often), i get giggly, i get this huge happy rush that just makes me feel alive and like dancing around. i once took my buddy to venice beach to get her tongue pierced and it ended up being this really cool bonding experience for both of us. she had the same "happy rush" afterwards that i do, and we danced down the venice boardwalk after she was done. i pretty much have some amazing happy memories associated with getting "modified" so perhaps that's another reason i like to do it...
ps enemy, your love of piercings may be crazy hardcore, but i love your reasons for it. happiness and acceptance for all, i say.
i have 1/2" lobes,18g double nostrils, a 12g septum, 14g nipples, a 16g lip, and a 14g tongue that used to be 0 which i don't wear much anymore. i have one tattoo in UV reactive ink and want more like crazy.
Yay! So I finally got my ears done. I've always wanted to but for some reason never did. I started with a 12 and plan to go up to 2.
A quick question though, do I start salt soaks in the first 24hrs or do I leave it alone entirely? I didn't get a chance to ask my piercer before he left for the day.

Honestly you should have just went ahead and got it pierced at a 4 or at least a 6 or 8.
For sea Salt soaks just do one at night one in the morning. Ear lobes arn't to prone to infection unless you're a nasty MOFO!
I think getting pierced at a large gauge from the start is not smart and show a lack of patience. You are adding a big hole instead of slowly allowing your body to stretch and grow into the right size. So the flesh you remove is gone forever. Just not the way it was intended to be done.
