You can order beads online. I'd think your piercing would be okay for a couple days as long as you check it every once in a while to make sure it doesn't catch on the seam between the sides of the ring.

There's no piercing studio anywhere near you? That's poop.

Well, I'm not sure about bumping this, and I know it says tattoo but it seems to have become about mods in general.

Not that anyone cares, but I have my left nostril and septum pierced. I want more but I'm kinda scared.

I might be getting a tattoo for Christmas. I've got the design ready, have done for near two years now but the best tattoo place I can get to is a two hour bus journey.

I've heard someone started a parlour in a town over but I've discussed this current design with the two hour away place a lot so I trust them to get it right. Don't want to start the whole process again with a guy who's just starting out.

The journey is worth it. I used to live a short walk (literally, just down the street then turn a corner) from a tattoo shop and I went in once, I didn't like the general feel of the place and as such, I ended bicycling to a place that was about 5-6 miles away from my home and I've had 4 tattoos done there. I presently live next door to a guy who does tattoos and is super bro-tier and I could easily get a tattoo for 75% of the price I'd pay at the shop I'm used to, but he does coke sometimes and so I am kinda unsure about going that route. Might get something simple from him to see how he is?

In other news: stretching my right ear to 1g/7.3mm so I can have my 0g/8mm titanium tunnels in before I head back to Phoenix. I was able to stretch the left ear the last weekend of november but the right ear gave me trouble. Its only like .8mm difference between 2g and 1g.

Took a hot shower, got it in with minimal issue, at first I didn't think it was gonna go, but then it just popped right in like a football star and the prom queen.

To be honest, I've been wearing my retainer in it since it was pierced almost a year ago. So there's not really anything that great to see.

Maybe when I get some nice jewelry...

Barmymoo · « **Reply #4166 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 17:19 »

I had my nose pierced once. For about 62 hours.

It changed the course of my entire life. No exaggeration.

questionablecontentfan · « **Reply #4167 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 17:29 »

I want more piercings.

I've been having health issues so I've been holding off on it, but I feel like I'm well enough now that I can get something on one of my ears.

I'm nervous about piercing my cartilage for the first time. I know it's really going to hurt a lot.

Juxtaposition · « **Reply #4168 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 18:18 »

Well, it hurts for a bit but you get to keep the piercing forever, right?

questionablecontentfan · « **Reply #4169 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 18:33 »

I always get so nervous when I go into the piercing/tattoo place. I feel so awkward. For some reason I just get super nervous. It's so silly. So it's not just the pain but also the awkwardness of setting foot in there.

nekowafer · « **Reply #4170 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 19:33 »

A lot of people do - you're not alone there, not by far. I passed out for both my septum and labret. I did okay with my third ear piercings, done in a studio, because it was after a hospital stay that involved a METRIC FUCK TON of blood being stolen from me by needle every four hours. So I handled needles a whole lot better than I ever had before. Plus the girl doing them, my friend Amanda, had big boobs and a low cut shirt

Lines · « **Reply #4171 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 19:37 »

I was not bothered at all when I got my ears done. I have no problems with needles, though. Also the people at the parlors I've been to have always been super cool.

Carl-E · « **Reply #4172 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 19:38 »

My wife has a few tats, meaningful to her. Not my cup o' tea, but I'm pretty hairy, so I don't think I want anything you'd have to shave to see.

And no, I'm not getting anything on the visible part that's not hairy (my scalp).

Or any of the other non-hairy parts...

My left ear's been pierced since '78, with a simple gold hoop. It was the year my brothers and I won our division in the Molson's cup regatta under a pirate flag, and we all had it done. I'm the only one who kept it all these years... they all got respectable jobs. I went to grad school and became a professor. I think I've changed the ring... twice in the last 33 years?

Most people don't even notice it. But back in the day, it was pretty radical!

questionablecontentfan · « **Reply #4173 on:** 07 Dec 2011, 19:53 »

My heart was literally pounding when I walked in to get my septum done.

My mouth dried up. It's probably my social anxiety more than anything. *sigh*

I think the journey is worth it but it's hard to justify it when it costs a tenner to bus up. I'll be learning to drive soon so

I remember the night before getting my second tattoo. First one was one of those crappy "five-year" ones which I'm gonna probably get done over some time. The second was proper and the night before I was freaking out but was so glad when I was getting it done. Then when I was getting it I remember near passing out and begging the woman to let me lie down. It's just a small interrobang, no more than two inches on my inner forearm but damn, that rush of brain chemicals was so scary and so awesome.

If it is a nice piercing place you shouldn't have to worry about being awkward. When I got my lip pierced I was so scared I thought I was going to throw up the food my boyfriend had made me eat. He knew, however, that I really wanted this done so he just pushed me gently until I was in the piercing studio. I was still freaking out, but committed myself by that point. Without him I would probably still be debating getting my lip done, and my tattoo, rather than planning my next ones. I used to be super nervous going in and talking to the guys there and only just started being comfortable. For ages I thought they would look down on me because i only had a few piercings compared to them, but then I went in and was freaking out because my lip swelled up suddenly and the guy there was really calm and reassuring that I realised that he didn't give a shit about anything like that. So yeah, nervousness when getting metal shoved through you is perfectly normal. Awkwardness is also normal when going to those places. Chill! Get more piercings! Embrace that shit and take photos and show them off!

I want another tattoo, guys. I want a halfsleeve of roses on my left arm and I want them to not look like vaginas and I want it NOW. The problem is that I don't really know what kind of style I want (well, i know I want kinda traditional, with the bold outlines) and I don't know where I want to go and I don't really have the money. It took me forever to get my first one and I want this so bad I feel like I'm going to burst if I don't get it soon. I also want another piercing, but that will at least have to wait until after christmas to see how my finances are going and build up my courage a bit more.

Lines · « **Reply #4180 on:** 09 Dec 2011, 05:50 »

I don't know if this is "traditional" but look at how roses are done in Mexican art and for Dia de los Muertos. I don't think that they get that vagina-like look.

Welu · « **Reply #4181 on:** 09 Dec 2011, 07:44 »

Here's the tattoo. Sorry for the crappy photo. This was soon after I got it, right before it scabbed over. I can't find my camera right now.

The only time it got really sore was when she was doing the outline near the inside of my elbow, which was when I felt like passing out.

I need to get it redone.

Note: I really am that pale.

The guy that did my ears was super-bro tier. He looked like this badass biker style dude, but then he was just really soft spoken and chill. When my septum closed up some, I went in and one of the other piercers was making jokes as she put long ass tapers into my nose to re-open the hole.

Also my tattoo artist, my girlfriend and I were playing the hug game (where you replace part of a band's name with hug. Don't get started we did it for like 5 pages on these forums before) while my ribs were getting done.

Death Hug for Cutie

My piercer was a really nice lady. She had a cupcake implant in one hand and an ice cream cone in the other as well as a bagillion other tattoos and piercings. She was also very pregnant. Like, I'm pretty sure she was a week away from giving birth. But she was rad and I mostly remember her implants because I was staring at them the whole time thinking, "I'm getting pierced by a cupcake."

Wait. Not inner forearm. The other one. Inner bicep.

Jace · « **Reply #4185 on:** 09 Dec 2011, 15:26 »

Actually yeah, my inner forearm was nothing. The part of my tattoo that was inner bicep, and the little divet on the inside of the elbow, THOSE sucked.

I don't really know what I want to get pierced next.

I don't look very pierced at a casual glance, probably because I'm really not that pierced. I might consider my lip if it wasn't for my stupid job.

nekowafer · « **Reply #4194 on:** 09 Dec 2011, 21:33 »

Maybe 'cause they're awesome? But I have to admit that I'm irrationally pissed off by people calling it a bull ring. No good reason for it, though.

I really want to get a tattoo of some local flora done over my collarbone/upper chest area. I've always thought that tattoos look great there, and I grew up spending a lot of time in the woods in Oregon, so it would be something I'd probably always be comforted by and enjoy having on my body.

For instance:

Are you a lady?
YES/NO
YES: Please don't get a tattoo there, it doesn't look as good as you think it does.
NO: Please don't get a tattoo there, unless you are in a scenecore/crabcore/christcore band

Juxtaposition · « **Reply #4198 on:** 09 Dec 2011, 21:50 »

I am, and I think it looks good on other girls. (Note: I am the kind of lady who is also attracted to other girls. Not sure if you believe that to change the value of my judgement in either direction.)

I've seen bad tattoos in that area, but I've seen awesome ones too. I think that tattoos decorating/emphasizing the breasts sometimes don't look that tasteful, but higher up tattoos that emphasize collarbones and upper arms, with the right lines to them, are pretty awesome. Collarbones are awesome!

Edit: It took me most of a page of truly awful pictures on google, but I found one that sort of has the feel of what I'm trying to describe. There's some tacky stuff out there. That's definitely not what I meant.
