    Piercings generally don't bother me, but gauges creep me out, big time. I can't look someone in the face when they have those big holes through their earlobes that I can see through.

    I have 0G in my ears. I won't go bigger because I love the aesthetic appeal of the size they are now. They suit me. Plus I have certain plugs I can wear that look like normal earings, or my tunnels you can definitely see through. Perfect. I love stretched ears, within reason. I would say no bigger than a 00 because I live in the real world and want to keep my job. I've never had other piercings, though, just tattoos.

    I like them and I want to have a least 1 tattoo. The piercing is what I still haven't quite decided.

    My belly button has a gauge, it's so the lint doesn't get stuck in there.

    I have 9/16th gauges in both ears, a septum piercing (10g ) and an industrial. I also have both nipples pierced. I wear plugs in my gauges most of the time because of my job, and I have had a retainer in the septum for almost 10 years now. I just can't bear to let it close up because it used to be my favourite one.

    I had a lot of piercings thoughout the years. I liked them at the time. Now, I HATE all the awkward scars.

    The thing I regret the most is gauging my ears. I had odd shaped holes now that won't hold regular earrings...

    No piercings, no gauges, no tats. Which I think makes me one of the most unique people on the planet.

    I wish I could have all my piercings back! I react poorly to stainless steel and haven't yet gotten the nerve to test out titanium or any other metal. I want my nose, bellybutton and ears pierced again!

    I have 4 holes in 1 ear and 3 in the other. I've had my eyebrow done twice and I LOVED the way it looked, but had to take it out because it kept getting stretched out all weird and I don't want to scar up my face too badly. I've also had my lip pierced 3 different times but that was too high-maintenance so I took them out (no visible scarring).

    I have both my ear lobes stretched to 00g and I will never go any bigger than that (although it doesn't bother me when people do it). I also have the 3rd hold on my right ear stretched to 4g because I want to put 2 hollow plugs in 1 ear. Fun stuff! My mom isn't a huge fan but she got over it :)

    I have tattoos and piercings and I have my ears gauged. I love getting tattoos that's what I am getting when I lose all my weight as a reward for all the hard work.

    Left ear - 14g cartilage, 14g, 4g and 8g lower lobe
    Right ear - 10g, 10g, 6g, 8g lower lobe
    Septum - 14g
    Tongue - 14g

    I've had the belly twice, both rejected or got infected (removed) and the nipples, but I had migration issues and out they came. Also had a few ear ones that either fell out (cartilage and too close to edge) or ripped (upper edge cartilage - ripped on a towel. Oh yes, that HURT!).

    Once I get at the weight I want to be, I want a corset piercing (yes, i know they aren't permanent - I'll get the tattoo after I get the piercing) and maybe try suspension.

    One other thing i want it to cut those ear piercings that are too close into 1 large hole.... but the hubby freaks out anytime I even think about it too hard. LOL

    This on top of the 22 tattoos (and counting - I am a tattoo artist so I'm doomed to ink my skin *evil laugh*)

    I HAD piercings and gauges. I've had my upper lip pierced (monroe), my tongue, by bottom lip (snakebites), and size 4 gauges. *sigh* I miss them. During my pregnancy they started to get on my nerves so I took them out. I re-did my monroe and my son kept pulling at it and coincidentally headbutting into it all the time so I just gave up on them. lol. They we're fun and cute while they lasted, I may get them done again in the future.
