Piercings & Gauges... Like them, hate them, or have them?

id love to get my belly button pierced again (had it done when I was 19 but had to take it out)...but I'm afraid Im getting to old for something like that. lol is there an age limit for things like this???

Piercings....Like, Gauges....Not my thing they look like they would hurt. I know people who have them and I have no problem with them.

Wanted to get my eyebrow pierced to go with the multiple ear piercings but then I had to get a job. Reality stinks!

LOVE 'EM. I work in a piercing shop, I have 15 piercings right now, 5/8 plugs. Teeeeechnically they're all called plugs/eyelets/stretched ears etc. Gauge just means measurement, so all jewelry, even the kids earrings at Claire's or your grandma's heirloom diamond studs are gauged, they're just a small gauge. Just a technicality.

I meet a lot of different folks and have attended clothing optional events lol, and since you've asked my opinion here's my truth on it:

It all depends.. like where is the piercing and whether it suits the person or not. I have a friend with a piercing at the side of her nose and it looks absolutely beautiful on her but some people it just doesn't look so awesomely good. I think skin texture goes into it, as well as your features in general. You have to be able to pull it off whatever it is, tattoo piercing or anything.

I do not like lip or eyebrow piercings as a rule though, I don't think they really look good on much of anyone. Unless you look like a punkrocker for real and then it's kind of cool. Tongue piercings are just weird, I get the mystique a little in a way, but not really.. mostly they just gross me out. Same with nipple piercings, just ow.. that's all I have to say.. for me anyway, just looks painful like looking at someone's appendix scar. I've seen some guys that were pierced down there, and have to say my first reaction tends to be "oh dear god no, looks pretty but I would never want that junk coming near anything of mine" lmao.

Especially I don't like when someone with a lip or tongue piercing fidgets with it, with their tongue. I mean really, that's just gross and not fun to watch lol. And if your tongue piercing keeps you from being able to speak without a lisp and improper diction, you just seem like a zero, sorry.

Otherwise if you have something and wear it well and it really compliments you.. it can definitely add to your look.

Me, I only have double ear piercing, in the normal lower ear region.. but I enjoy wearing all sorts of earrings and some I can wear in my top piercing can give the illusion that I have cartilage piercings higher or all the way around the top of my ear. It can be fun to do that on one ear sometimes for effect. Lately I love really small huggy cartilage hoops for both my ears in all 4 spots.

Stretched ears freak me out. And they smell when the plug isn't in! My friend has huge ones and whenever she leaves them out she has the unfortunate nickname of onion rings.

I do like piercings, had 14 at one point but now I'm down to 8.

I have a Prince Albert.






Just kidding.

I find them very interesting. As a nudist I have seen my share of piercings! www.aanr.com

My ears, tongue, and nipples are pierced. The ears have a 0 gauge and 2 8 gauges in each, the tongue is a 4 gauge, the nipples are just 14's.

loe gauges and piercings im at 7/16ths in both ears
and when ever i wear metal it always get gross so quick i just use the soft platic ones that go in easy they fall out alot but i like thoose glass and woods ones best
beside that i only have one other piercing currently i use to have both sides of my lip pierced and nose twice my problem is the healing it takes months for my piercings to heal but IF i get through it, its fine after but it took me along time to have any of my piercing actuly heal
