Ohh pretties! I'm jealous, you have a belly that allows for pretty piercings! Congratulations. I bet those would look lovely combined with thin belly chains...

It drives Gio batty whenever she sees that I have two earrings in the one ear and only one in the other. She hates it that I'm asymmetrical.

You make it sound like I foam at the mouth whenever I see your earrings. I'm not that bad, sheesh. I just wouldn't do it myself.

I have three sets in my ears. I'm thinking about getting another set.

I can see why you are so eager to heal. All of them are really lovely!
I fear pain, so I haven't pierced anywhere.

Piercings... hmmm... 

I have one set of ear piercings, which is the seconbd time those holes have been created.  I used to have two sets and one in the cartelidge of my left ear, but like with my first set, they got infected (no matter how well i kept them cleaned) so I had to let them close up.  I just never got around to repeircing them (they'd stay then with no infection - my ears are weird), and probably never will given I barely ever wear anything in the set of holes I do have.

Meh.

ahhh very nice a belly ring, I think it should somewhat be a requirement that people with belly rings should ....belly dance.

keeping it short and sweet:

1 piercing in each earlobe.  recently lost one of my favorite earrings.  getting a second piercing in my left ear.  no pics up, yet.

Nice pics. Almost makes me wish I had something pierced. But I definitely could not pull off the belly button piercing. Too much gut and too much fur.

They're actually very light.  I bought another one today.  Hopefully sometime soon I can run in to the piercing place and have them switch this hoop for the one I got.  It has two little danglies of diamond studs dripping down.  Pretty. *_*

giggle, you with a belly piercing.

I love belly piercings if they're done and showcased tastefully, but they're one of the easiest things to become tasteless. So...eh. My family would die if I got one, I have too much of a flabby belly, and PAIN to that degree and in that context is just too much.

I just got my first piercings done on my lobes a few hours ago. I'm planning on getting two more sets. Since it was my first time though, I supposed that the place wouldn't recommend my getting more than one (Icing's). My lobes are pretty huge so I think it would look cool if I had a few more.

Should I get a lip piercing or nose piercing? I'm so torn. I adore them both and I think I would look good with either one but.. I don't know. My belly-button piercing is the first piercing I've kept so far and its definitely my favorite (and healing so well!), and I also finally got my ears pierced just for the sake of adornment, but I'd really like a facial piercing and those two are my favorite. I'm not sure which would look better on me though (opinions? I have pictures of me in some threads..) and I'm not sure which would be the most practical for say, jobs. I assume a nose piercing is more mainstream and accepted.

Other things to consider.. lip piercings are really sexy but I'm not sure what the hell I would do with my lips afterward (eating, kissing, oral) but I assume you get used to having one after a little while and adapt, like my friend with her tongue piercing. I'm slightly OCD though in that I wouldn't get a tongue piercing (although I think they look nice) myself because I'm OCD about combining food in my mouth with a piece of jewelry, and the lips are kind of close, but I'm not sure how much it would bother me. And nose piercings.. the only thing I can say about that is that I have allergies and my nose runs sometimes but not a whole lot, so I'm not sure how much of a bother that would be.

Pros/cons:

Lips - Sexy-looking / might bother my OCD jewelry/near where I'm chewing food complex?
Nose - Pretty, and popular with a lot of women in India.. I always liked their nose piercing jewelry - more mainstream for job-searching / allergies? snot? ..settling for a more mainstream piercing when I really desire the more adventurous one?

I'll have to sleep on it. But Lina wants to get her eyebrow pierced and Megan wants to get her tongue pierced so I think a piercing party might be planned after Christmas. Really though I should take more time to consider it since I'm low on money anyway and I'm getting tattooed soon.. trying to space out the body-adornments so my mom can slowly get used to them instead of freaking out.

I vote for nose piercing because it's more exotic than lip in my opinion, and second, being someone who's prone to get canker sores just for even the smallest injury, I think nose piercing is safer. Plus I fear for food getting caught in the place where the metal meets flesh

If you're afraid of things like allergy/snot, you can do piercing that's not necessarily in a ring.

I have an eyebrow piercing, both ears pierced, and I'm planning on getting an industial bar on my right ear, my nose pierced, and my lip. And another eyebrow piercing right above the one I already have. I have a change jar that I'm using to save up for these piercings. I currently have $13 American in small change.

I've been saving since July.
