I waited a whole month since my first piercing (a VCH) to decide exactly what I wanted. I chose to do a vertical sternum surface piercing. I went back to (pro-gress piercing) in Raleigh and had another great experience! http://profile.myspace.com/progresspiercing

This time Lee did the piercing and he was just as knowledgeable, thorough, gentle, and gentlemanly as Seth (who did my first piercing at (pro-gress).

So, I have been reading up on the mirco-dermal piercings since about 8 months ago. Back then, they were pretty new still and none of the shops around here did them. So, I waited patiently.

Yesterday, I told my friend I absolutely HAD to get something pierced. So, he called up his favorite shop and asked them if they did micro-dermals. They informed us that they did and there was a consultation beforehand so that they could be certain I was ready for the commitment.

So, we hopped in the car, and drove to Columbus, Ohio.

I've wanted a nape piercing for a few months, and finally decided to get it!

I went in on a Thursday and met the piercer. He measured my neck and made some markings, then showed me the markings and asked if I liked them. I did, and he said that we could go ahead and do the piercing right then if I wanted to. Since I didn't have the money or the time to care for the piercing properly (the next week was finals week!), I made an appointment to come in a week from that day, after my last final.

In all honesty- I'm a body mod addict. But my piercings were usually limited to my face. So about a few weeks ago I was really wanting a piercing and I talked my friend into coming with me. I had no idea what I planned on getting- but on the car ride over there I became pretty adamant about getting a sternum piercing.

We get in there and the piercer (Dan) has a few other clients before me. My heart is already going a mile a minute and I babble non-stop to my friend to try to mask my nervousness.

Well, I got my nape pierced today. Very interesting experienced. This was my 13th piercing, so I basically knew the procedure and whatnot. I used a 45 12G surface bar. My piercer explained that she would pierce the tissue with a 14G needle and then gauge with a 12G bar. The needle didn't even hurt! It was the gauging that was the bitch. Not that it was excruciating, she just lost it halfway through! Oops! Anyway, at the end, it all turned out fine. Besides a little bleeding, it looks wonderful and I am very happy with it!

I got a corset piercing on my back with 10 12g captive bead rings... it was the most intense piercing i've had so far... feel free to email me if you have any questions. there are pictures of this on my myspace. www.myspace.com/pokedbyjes

My piercing: SternumJust a few days ago I was on this site looking for info and reading other people's experiences on this piercing and now I'm writting my own. There really isnt much to say about this piercing. It didnt take too long. He marked me up and let me make sure it would be in the spot I want, and told me how to take care of it. Then I laid down on the table and started my deep breathing. Within a few seconds the needle was through and he was putting in the jewlery. That part hurt the most sice I got mine with a surface bar.

My nape love started when i went to a Mudvayne concert a few years ago. The show had not yet started so everyone was just walking around the club where it was held, and thats when I saw her. This girl with pretty pink hair and then I saw this thing on her neck and I thought it was so amazing!

after piercing a friend of mine (frenum piercing) I decided I wanted to have a new piercing myself, hehe, so I took a curved barbell, marked the spots (from thumb web in the direction of my wrist, on the surface), took a needle and poked it in my right hand with my left hand (no, I'm not left handed). I saw the needle moving under my skin and tried to push it out when it reached the other marking. that was a hard job, and it hurt like hell.
