what body parts do you have pierced?

[wildhorses]

Poll question: what body parts do you have pierced?

just when I think I have seen it all...
somebody comes into the ER and proves me wrong!!!

[cleofus1]

1. my left ear

but i don't wear earrings anymore...tho i think the holes are still open...

[wildhorses]

3. I have pierced ears, too!!...2 holes in both ears

:hi:

good to see you

[cleofus1]

55. hey good to see you too!

i have three holes in my left ear...i guess i'm just too old to pull off the pirate look anymore...

[wildhorses]

95. actually I think it would look cool on you...maybe not all 3

but then again maybe...depends on how you feel at the time
one day you could wear one
some other day you could wear two
and then when you are feeling really festive and "piratey"
you could wear all 3
;)

[dolo amber]

2. I have a few of those, but can't vote more than once

:shrug:

ps- It's not "penis" though. :thumbsup:

[wildhorses]

4. I figured people would have multiple piercings but,

could not figure out how to allow for that option, got any ideas?
:hi:

[dolo amber]

10. Not in poll form...you could just come right out an ask

But I seem to recall one such thread deteriorating into some sort of "Piercings are a patriarchal tool of The MAN!!" flame-fest once, so be prepared. :D :hi:

[wildhorses]

14. I went back and reworded the last option...is that better?

a flame-fest??? good grief:eyes:

[dolo amber]

18. That works

:thumbsup: :D

Yes, flamewars in the Lounge...the last unexplored bastion of random indignation. ;)

And for the record, I have metal shoved through my tongue, ears (8 total), bellybutton, nose and top girl parts. :)

[wildhorses]

24. Dayum, chick!!!

:wow:

[Magrittes Pipe]

25. Boys have nipples, too.

I wouldn't call them "girl parts."

And you lost your navel ring, and your tongue hole's probably closed up by now.

Poseur. ;)

[dolo amber]

34. My tongue might be closed

All other holes have recently been tested (er...) by me (er..ummm) and are in full working order. :patriot:

[Magrittes Pipe]

36. ALL of them?

:o

[Left Is Write]

79. Piercings are a patriarchal tool of The Man?

Did the person who said that account for men who have piercings too? If men and women have similar piercings, how is it a patriarchal tool?

[no name no slogan]

91. Yup. I am a patriarchical tool of the man

I saw it on the Internets, so it must be true

[Strong Atheist]

5. None. nt.

[wildhorses]

7. how ya been?

:hi:

[Strong Atheist]

12. Ok. Hiding. How are you?

:hi:

[wildhorses]

17. I have been doing pretty good...

glad to see you have come back out to play
:hug:

[Strong Atheist]

20. It's gonna be intermittent for a while...

:hug:

[Mutley]

6. Just my ears...

Never much wanted to poke holes anywhere else. :scared: I don't like pain. :D

[wildhorses]

9. some of those places HAVE to be painful...

hurts me just to think about it;)

[Mutley]

15. Oh yes.

The memories of some of my friends and their adventures with peircing... :scared:

[SmileyBoy]

8. Two piercings on the left ear.

I figure that's good enough for a guy.:)

[wildhorses]

11. sounds good to me....what do you wear in them?

do you change them out or stay with whatcha always had?

[SmileyBoy]

16. I haven't worn earrings in years.

Too much work changing them all the time (to prevent metal infection).

[wildhorses]

19. are you allergic to certain metals?

:shrug:

[SmileyBoy]

22. No, but the doc recommended that I change them often...

I think metal over time can infect the area inside of the piercing. I also didn't want to wear the same rings all the time anyway...

[wildhorses]

26. when they are first pierced you have to be careful but,

if they are good quality you should be ok with the same pair. Just remember to turn them...

[In_The_Wind]

13. I've thought about a few other piercings but I haven't done them.

The only thing I have pierced is my ears.

Should I look for last nights ER on a rerun? What happened?

[wildhorses]

21. no...sweetie, I thought you knew...

I work in the ER...
good to see you
:hug:

[In_The_Wind]

29. Somehow I missed that.

I didn't know that you work in a hospital. You must see some really bad things from time to time.

Was the piercing you saw done badly or was it infected?

[wildhorses]

31. It was infected...

I felt sorry for the guy. He was embarrassed and in pain.

[In_The_Wind]

35. Ouch, poor guy.

Will he be able to continue wearing his body jewelry when the infection is cleared up?
Piercing the genitalia isn't a procedure to be taken lightly. I've known men and women who've said they were pierced however I don't have any real first hand knowledge about it.

[wildhorses]

37. I think it is on a wait and see basis, otherwise known as

under observation:rofl:

[In_The_Wind]

51. Ah ha. Someone is going to have to keep an eye on the situation.

[kitkatrose]

23. Well, I have my ears

and my boobies pierced. Still thinking about some of the others though.

[wildhorses]

27. just be sure you go somehwere that is clean and follows

sterile procedures, okay?
:hi:

[kitkatrose]

44. Oh, yeah. I already have the place in mind,

just deciding now if I really want the piercing. :hi:

[NJ Democrats]

28. None!

None now, none ever in the past, and I don't think any in the future.

[wildhorses]

30. that is cool...believe it or not it is starting to be RARER to see

NO piercings!!! So you will really stand out and good for you;)
:hi:

[NewJeffCT]

101. None for me, either

no desire to do it.

[wildhorses]

112. only you know best what is best for you

:thumbsup:

[bigwillq]

32. I don't have any piercings.

I guess I'm just boring!

[wildhorses]

40. I don't think you are boring!!!

:hug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

33. Ears and nose...used to also have eyebrow & navel.

Currently, I have...

0g ear lobes
10g ear lobes
12g conches
18g traguses (tragii?)
16g rooks
14g helix (right ear)
12g industrial (left ear)

Diamond stud in my nose (real diamond...it was part of my ex-girlfriend's wedding ring)

[wildhorses]

41. *whoosh*

right over my head
does g=gram ???
:shrug:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

53. G=gauge

The thickness of the piercing. A standard earring is about 20g. The lower the number, the bigger the hole. As in, I can stick a bic pen comfortably through my earlobe at 0g. It's also the largest size that you can shrink back down to a standard sized earring hole, so I'm not going bigger.

[wildhorses]

67. oh yeah,,, I should have figured that out....duh

I have seen those really LARGE holes in the ears...does it hurt?

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

90. No.

You stretch them really gradually (I've been stretching them for about 1.5 years). You skin is super elastic, so as long as you do it slow, it doesn't hurt. It's like a pinch when you go up a size (using a taper) but other than that, it doesn't hurt.

[ghostsofgiants]

94. Nice...

I've given thought to piercing and stretching the lobes a little, but I dunno.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

107. If you only go up to 0g, you can still shrink them back to regular size.

That is if you do it slow. I've been stretching for about a year and a half.

[ghostsofgiants]

125. I might try that yet...who knows? Haha.

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

38. I used to have my eyebrow pierced

Was a complete whim - I was living in Montreal at the time and had gone to catch a movie, but I'd got hte time wrong. Walking home I passed a piercing salon & thought 'fuck it'.

[wildhorses]

42. I wonder how many tattoos have that story?

you know the "on a whim" theme?

[NewWaveChick1981]

39. Ears, but

I'm seriously considering other body parts too. ;) I've had my ears pierced since I was 11, but I guess I've just been chicken to get other piercings. However, I'm not that chicken any more. :)

[wildhorses]

43. care to elaborate on WHAT other parts specifically?

I am thinking that, I MIGHT get my belly button pierced if I lose 5 more pounds...you know. the tummy ...that last 5 around the abdomen just keep hanging around,,,

[NewWaveChick1981]

45. I'm still trying to lose the last 12 lbs.....

but I've considered both nipples (and will probably do that first, if I really do get up the nerve!, maybe my belly button (but I'd really have to make sure my tummy was toned enough, lol!), and (since we're all friends here) my clit hood (but that would really take a lot of courage for me, and I don't know that I'd do that...but I'm not ruling out the possibility).

[wildhorses]

46. the hood is OUT for me and nipples too but,

if you are feeling called to do it...okay, just go to a reputable place that uses a sterile technique:hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

47. Definitely. The hood will be the last thing I'd consider.

:hug:

[RebelOne]

48. None of the above. Not even my ears.

[wildhorses]

65. I think with a username like RebelOne that one of yours

should be pierced so it could be Rebelling against the other one:silly:

[bikebloke]

49. Shipwreck ring in my left ear lobe.

[wildhorses]

66. that sounds cool...

I have never seen a shipwreck earring, where did you get it?

[VelmaD]

50. right nipple...

and 3 peircings in my right ear and 1 in my left. I used to have my bellybutton pierced but the piercing migrated and I'm still waiting for it to completely heal so I can get it re-pierced.

[wildhorses]

68. did it hurt to get your nipple pierced?

what about your belly button? I MIGHT get my bellybutton pierced but, I doubt it and NO WAY could I ever pierce my ....well....er....you know (that place down there)

[VelmaD]

96. It didn't hurt in a bad way...

it was this bright, short, sharp shock of pain. And then it was mostly over. The belly-button didn't really hurt much either...but it bled more than the nipple did and took forever to heal...it never did heal right while my nipple healed up really quickly.

[fleabert]

52. belly - ears- eyebrow

don't adorn the eyebrow anymore, three holes in left earlobe, one in right, one in belly button.

[wildhorses]

69. did your eyebrow grow shut? did it leave a scar?

what do you wear in your bellybutton?

[fleabert]

128. yeah, it's about halfway shut, with some scarring.

not really obvious though unless I pluck the hell out of my brows. I wear a piece kinda like this in my belly, except my stones are smaller and square, and there is a silver frame around the stones, and they are 5 shades of blue going from light to dark.

[Lady Effingbroke]

54. Ears (left 3 times, right 2 times); tongue.

[wildhorses]

70. I bet it hurt to get your tongue pierced

:scared:

[jmowreader]

134. Actually, it doesn't hurt at all

They pierce your tongue in the middle, and there are no nerve endings for pain in the middle.

I took my tongue stud out after eating five balls. My wife was disappointed. Does anyone know where to get edible Loctite?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. Just my ears!

Never had ANY desire to pierce any other body parts!

It was funny....when I had my ears done, the folks doing the work knew I was a nurse.....

And the piercing HURT! But I couldn't yell, 'cause they knew I was a nurse.....

So the second ear hurt worse......anticipation and all that.....

I just sat there, gritting my teeth......

Oh well.....:shrug:

[wildhorses]

71. me too CalPeg...

but, I have pierced both of mine twice. what do you think about getting your bellybutton pierced? I will if you will:silly:
good to see you:hi:
:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

84. My dear wildhorses!

I am pretty conservative about body piercings, on me!

So, sorry, no belly button piercing for this old lady.....

But if you want to, go for it! Don't wait for me, sweetie.....

Good to see you too!

:loveya: :hug:

[deadparrot]

57. Earlobes double-pierced, and one in the cartilage of my right ear. nt

[wildhorses]

72. my earlobes are double pierced too and I had the cartilage of

my left ear pierced but, I had to let grow back. It hurt to sleep on it...ouch

[fight4my3sons]

58. ears now, but I've had my tongue, nose and navel n/t

[wildhorses]

73. I am guessing you let your navel grow back when you got

pregnant with your3sons?:shrug:
:hi:

[fight4my3sons]

133. yep.

Would have never made it with the twins :hi: Just glad I never got any navel tatoos!

[BreweryYardRat]

59. Zilch. Not really my style.

I'm probably going to get the first in a (hopefully) long series of tattoos next fall, though.

[wildhorses]

74. what and where are you going to get your tatts?

with a name like seawolf doncha think you should have one ear pierced? like a pirate...

[BreweryYardRat]

118. Nah on the piercing. Details inside on the tats.

First one's going in between my pecs, at the bottom. It's a rune, looks like this, just smoother:



Number two's an amphisbaena, going across the back of my shoulders.

The third and final tattoo in the series is a two-parter...since I'm an arms and armor geek, I'm planning on getting a Type XVIa longsword on one arm, and a Type M Daneaxe on the other.

[Left Is Write]

60. Double piercings in each ear lobe. That's it.

[wildhorses]

75. ........

:thumbsup:

[XemaSab]

61. Had my ears pierced then the holes grew closed

Then I had them re-pierced and they got mildly infected and ITCHED BADLY so I guess those holes are closed now too. :shrug:

[wildhorses]

76. sounds like you had an awful time....

:hug:

[Wapsie B]

62. Nothin at all.

Might get a nice tattoo or two. But no piercings at all and no desire to get any.

[wildhorses]

78. what kind of tattoos do you want and where do you want them?

:hi:

[Wapsie B]

89. Hmmmm

I haven't thought of any design yet. But I always thought of having a private tattoo that I and a significant other pick out for ourselves. Something that would have a personal meaning to only us.


:hi:

[wildhorses]

108. that sounds romantic and sweet and permanent ....

an outward reflection of the personal commitment
kinda sexy
:blush:

[Wapsie B]

111. yes i thought so too

and very erotic in that you're sharing that with only one other person.

:)

[ceile]

63. ears, tongue, belly

I'm thinking about getting my nipple (just one) pierced. But I think I may be too old for it now.

[wildhorses]

80. oh yes, the nipple scares me too...

and the tongue:scared: but, maybe I will go for my navel:shrug:

[xchrom]

64. i had my ears done in the late 70's --

then in the late eighties i took them out because frankly too many straight boys had them -- and that made it lose it's flavor.

now i see fewer and i think i'll put them back in.

[wildhorses]

81. I bet they have grown shut and you will have to get them

repierced...I say, Go For It
:woohoo:

[Nicole]

77. Ears

2 holes in one, 3 in the other.

[wildhorses]

82. that sounds nice

:thumbsup:

[motely36]

83. just my ears n/t

[wildhorses]

97. ears are always nice

:thumbsup:

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

85. I pierced my front-left fender on my old Ranger once..

does that count? :silly:

[wildhorses]

98. ........

:spray:
















:rofl:

[Briarius]

86. Only the ears now

I had to take the nipple rings out, they never healed :(

[wildhorses]

99. oh, I am sorry to hear that

:hug:

[Briarius]

121. I miss them sometimes

but then I remember what a pain they were and it passes :D

[TheBaldyMan]

87. I have a single piercing in my left ear,

so it should be under 'ears' but I think it's different enough to have a separate entry.

I wear a silver earing, usually a hoop.

on edit: Does scarification or tattoos count ? That seems to have been the body mod of choice a couple of years back.

[wildhorses]

103. I like a silver hoop

I wear small silver hoops in my ears all the time, I change out the second pair of holes depending on my outfit



maybe one day I will do a poll on tattoos and scars...

I have seen ALL kinds of both in my job:thumbsup:

[NNadir]

88. I'm very prudish on this subject.

I have a rough time seeing it, never mind doing it.

[wildhorses]

105. you do not even have your ears pierced?

my mother was in her 50's before she finally got her ears pierced...

[NNadir]

106. Nothing. I wouldn't dream of it.

[wildhorses]

113. that is fair ...after all, it is YOUR body

:thumbsup:

[ghostsofgiants]

92. None right now...

I used to have my eyebrow pierced...and I'm planning to pierce my nose and/or lip whenever I can afford such things.

[wildhorses]

109. would you pierce the side of your nose or the middle

I think you would look cool with a silver hoop in one ear and maybe one of those bigger gauged holes in the other ear...with your hair it would look awesome:thumbsup:

but I am not sure about your nose or lip:shrug:

[ghostsofgiants]

119. Nostril...

I'm too much of a wuss to get a septum piercing. Plus I'm not sure how it would suit me.

[wildhorses]

122. I do not care for the septum piercing either,,,

reminds of a pig (sorry to anyone out there who has it)
but, I think your nostril would look pretty cool
that is the other place I thought about getting pierced
besides my bellybutton
but, I am kinda old for this sorta thing...

[ghostsofgiants]

124. I love how it looks on some people (GirlinContempt for example)

But I just don't know if I could pull it off.

[wildhorses]

127. oh yes, I remember seeing her picture and you are right she

wears it well!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

93. Just my left ear

Used to be two holes, but one closed. I've been thinking of having it re-done, and maybe one in the other ear for a bit of balance and to piss off the squares. :evilgrin:

[wildhorses]

110. I always heard that it was better to be pissed off...

than to be pissed on:evilgrin:



so I say: go for it
:thumbsup:

[Dave Reynolds]

100. There are no holes in me

that did not come from the factory.

[wildhorses]

114. never felt the urge to customize the factory package?

:shrug:

[Dave Reynolds]

117. Well, there are some colors that were not on the original order,

a little dragon on the back just to liven things up a little.

[Pryderi]

102. I have a piercing wit. har har

[wildhorses]

115. that's punny....

:toast:

[Deja Q]

104. I have no piercings.

Nor do I need to have any of my good bits augmented by oblong pieces of metal. :evilgrin:

[wildhorses]

116. but, what about your bad bits???

could they not do with a little attention?




and BTW that was a BAD bit when you peed in my pool:rofl:

[leeroysphitz]

120. spleen.

[wildhorses]

123. whatever for???

:silly:

[Scooter24]

126. Many...

I went through a piercing phase in my late teens-early 20's.

I have had my left eyebrow, left nipple, and tongue pierced, but I took them out a couple of years ago. Today, I have two in my left ear (one lobe, one cartilage) and one in my right lobe.

[Starbucks Anarchist]

129. My brain.

Sure explains a lot. :D

[ornotna]

130. Left ear, two holes

left nipple one hole. That's it for me.

[Dont_Bogart_the_Pretzel]

131. This is strange...125+ replies and no

pictures!

[OffWithTheirHeads]

132. After 40 years in construction

I've pierced most everything but I never found screwdrivers, slivers or drill bits to be satisfactory body jewelry.
