my friend has that piercing and she said it didn't hurt much..just a pinch..then again she has everything pierced...depends on your pain tolerance

i wanted to get my tragus pierced this year on my left side, but when i feel both the areas on both my ears, the right side feels thinner and longer and the left is shorter and more thicker.. would it matter or make a difference ? and do you think i could take it out within 7-8 months for like a day :3 ? 
if not i'll probably just end up getting second lobe ones ;-;

I used to post about my industrial in this thread but i don't remember ever telling that it unfortunately got infected and it had to be taken out. The bit of skin on the lower side of my ear was too thin to support the pressure or something. I kept the top hole open with a small barbell but i lost it in bed a few years ago and since then it has closed up again Well it was fun while it lasted but i don't think i will get another industrial.

Meanwhile my tongue piercing is still doing fantastic. I've had it for almost 6 years now. Sometimes i even forget about it )

Recently got an industrial! Here's to (hoping for) a smooth recovery. (:

Hehehe I just wanted to show everyone my left ear I love it! I don't know if I should get a 2nd lobe piercing on this ear though, I do have one on my right.

So I got an industrial piercing on Thursday. It was fine up until yesterday (Sunday) when I moved the bar a bit when I was cleaning it. My ear has been throbbing all day. It looks kind of swollen again, which sucks cause it was getting better until I moved it. I can go to my piercer tomorrow or Thursday. But I was wondering if its normal for industrials to get so angry and swollen like this. I mean it makes sense, since irritating one piercing also irritates the other, then you end up with a very irritated upper ear lol. I've been doing sss and cleaning around the piercing with organic soap

[Guest mintpops]

I was wondering if anybody knows a piercing parlor in the NYC metro area that's legit but cheaper than those places in St Marks and the Village that charge around $25/piercing. Because I'm wanting to get two more piercings on my cartilage and one on my tragus

[Guest _simplyvintage]

I got my belly button pierced 3 years ago, and I never had a problem with it until recently. The inside of my belly button (right next to the hole) has a bump around it. Is this a serious issue or a minor infection that I can take care at home? It's also bleeding from where it's pierced, someone help :\

[Guest hullogoodbye]

Has anyway gotten a triple forward helix done?
I'm don't know if I should get them all at once or individually. My piercer said it's a matter of personal preference. 
I'm also getting my naval done! :)Piercings are SOOOO addicting.

I'm back ;o Sorry

Here's my question!

Is it okay to take out a HEALING piercing? Just for a while? Or is that a big no-no? ;o

and when I clean with the salt thing, do I take the piercing out and clean or just do it with the piercing in?

So sorry if I'm asking ridiculous questions ><;;

[Guest leloMew]

I'm in need of a bit of help. Which of the three do you guys think looks best? - ignore the lobe piercings.
I've always wanted to get a double auricle like Shin Min Ah, but now I'm sort of torn. I love all three, but I only want one side of my ear done.
I should really ask my piercer this, but for those of you who have auricle piercings, is there a higher change of it migrating? (I mean it's right on the edge of your cartilage - practically half cartilage/half flesh...)

I like the third one the most, but I think it's just personal preference
i'm not entirely sure, but auricle refers to the middleish area of your ear right?



is my (right) ear, does the black spiral earring count as the auricle?
if so,
mine hasn't migrated and I'm not sure if they normally would, but I have relatively sensitive skin (and picky ears) so maybe it's a sign that it normally wouldn't?

Piercing used to be cool but not anymore.
I hate it when they pierced the nose.
