I got my navel done when i was 15. I was very nervous because I went to a shop to get it done and I have always done my own piercings because the thought of strngers pircing me scares me. But I got the guts and laid on the table. It didnt hurt and the guy did a great job. The only bad part was sleeping because I sleep on my belly, but after a week or so I could sleep on it again. It has never gotten infected or anything and healed great.

I got my labret done about two weeks ago and I absolutely love it! And it only hurt when the needle went through but it was completely tolerable. It swelled a little for a the first couple days and at first I had to chew carefully so as not to bite down on it and I smoke so I was worried about infection but I'm religious about cleaning it so it's all good.

I got my hood pierced about 20 mins ago and let mi tell you. My piercer Shimp was awesome!!! Virginia Beach Ink was VERY professional and they even put up cloth screens so no one would see me taking off my clothing. He sprayed my hood, positioned the tube, and I jumped a tiny bit because I thought the pain was going to be horrible...but boy was I soooo wrong. He stuck me and the little "tingle" lasted all of 2 secs if that then bam it was over. He placed a curved barbell on the hood and boy does it look ever so pretty.

Well to start off I wont go into the huge details about the day its self.

First piercing was a hafada.. loved it . reletivly pain free was healing nicely.. then say about ten months later it migrated. Not really sure why. think it might have been location. It hung nicly but when erect it traveled up my shaft. not sure that should have happened.

Next one was the PA . little more pain than the hafada. hurt like hell to piss and was messy. After a few days I was looking on the net trying to find out how to pee. When all I could find was stories of the PA guaging up naturally..

I got my navel pierced 8 months ago to this day, and I absolutely love it! I have never had any problems with it, and it didn't even hurt when I got it pierced. I went with my friend who was getting a tattoo that day, and decided that I wanted another piercing, and a navel piercing sounded like a great idea. My friend told me she heard a pop when the needle went through the upper part of the piercing, but luckily I didn't hear that or else I probably woulda been freaked out.

I have a thing for piercings and tattoos. I just retired my side labret because of a job (which I didn't even get.) I was just sick of falling in love with visible piercings just to take them out. So two nights ago, I began looking at nipple piercings on women. I find them daring and sexy , especially since they're concealed so easily. Anyway, here's how it went.

I drove to the shop ready to get this over with and walked in. I know I looked sketchy to the people in the shop but frankly I was nervous as hell.

When I first got my ears pierced a long time ago, in my early teens, I thought "D*mn, this is going to hurt". Then I got those with almost no pain at all. I got my eyebrow pierced for free by a good friend (professional piercer in a shop, not an at home job) and thought it would hurt at least a little, but really all I felt was the pressure from his fingers pinching my brow as he was piercing. I will always remember how cool of an experience it was.

More recently, I got my lip pierced, and again, expected at least a little pain, but felt almost nothing.

I always wanted my septum pierced and had experimented with piercing for short periods over the years, I never wanted anything typical. The idea was conceived somewhere in the early 1990's when African tribes were the only place I knew people had septum piercings.

I found a professional piercer that only did piercing, since I had no interest in tattoos at the time and didn't want anything to do with those places.

I had planned to visit Buffalo, New York for a conference so I found a piercing parlor (Cowpolk).

After getting my first piercings earlier this year (2 frenums), I'm hooked. I already went back for 3 more frenums and stretched the top one to 6ga. Even more hooked. I had decided shortly after the first two that I wanted my nipples pierced. I enjoy my wife's pierced nipples more than she does and mine have always been very sensitive. So I went in to see Nikki K at Chrome Gardens in Gettysburg. She has done all my piercings so far (and my wife's VCH.
Nikki is very friendly, helpful, professional and gets excited after each piercing she does.
