@Rabbit Bones @GRANDnumberofMULTIPLES @fire_fly Thank you so much for your responses!! It's still fucking agony, slightest jarring on it results in searing pain. Ive reduced how much I clean it as I think it's maybe irritating the piercing more than anything, soaked it in salt water which really helped and have started taking mild pain killers. I'm just surprised at how painful it is; I had facial piercings in my teens that didn't hurt nearly as much as this.

@fire_fly I really feel your pain, my first cartilage piercing at 14 was by a gun and I was too young and inexperienced to realise it wasn't meant to be done that way. Fast forward 18 years and I have a piercing that's at an angle so earrings never sit properly.

Cartilage piercings are the worst. Each one of my cartilage piercings hurt more than all of my other piercings combined, the worst one being my tragus because it took so damn long to heal. Even stretching my ears wasn't that bad, and I had violent allergic reactions to both the acrylic tapers I used and the O-rings I had to use to keep them on.

So, yeah, I'm hurting for you, lol.

Monica Punk spent nearly 10 minutes today bitching about a broken septum ring. I don't have any piercings myself (religious prohibition), but I'm curious - is she justified in being as annoyed as she is? How high maintenance is a septum piercing in comparison to other piercings?

It's like, the easiest piercing ever. I had more issues with my earlobes than I did my septum. I got it pierced, it hurt for about half an hour, and than I was fine for two years, through multiple jewelry changes.

It looks like the ring is externally threaded meaning that I'm gonna guess it's the threads on the ring that area cause for irritation. I haven't had my septum done but do have both sides of my nose done. From my friend data pool some people do better with them than others. For one, they're easier to irritate when you blow your nose and you haven't got the hang of it and I know at least one person who took theirs out because dealing with the jewelry during cold and allergy season was irritating the piercing so much.

I don't feel like it would be particularly high maintenance but a lot of that depends on the end user. Someone who's poking at it, picking their nose, generally touching it is probably going to have a tougher time. But I do know more people who have had success than abject failure.

I lost one of the beads on one of my nipple piercings while in the shower and substituted a spike end from a circular barbell. It was only painful when the threaded part of the bar started making its way through my flesh (I must have been pierced for about 4 or 5 months by then, I think) but the pain went away after a while, maybe an hour? I eventually made it to the shop to get a matching one.

My worst piercing fuckup was putting in some gold studs my mom gave me that we didn't realize had tiny, tiny backs. I was 9 and noticed that one looked like it had sunk into my ear and the other was completely in the lobe. I had to go to my doctor, lie facedown on the exam table, and get them extracted. The fully encased one was the fucking worst. I got numbed with silver nitrate but that really doesn't do a lot when your doc is trying to rip something out of your earlobe. They healed fine and I was able to put earrings in without getting repierced. And they healed straight too. I ended up stretching them up to 00g about ten years later with no issues.

I feel like earlobes are so easy to take for granted that we get careless with them.

It's super-low-maintenance once it's healed. So, no. If you wear shitty jewelry, though, you kinda get what you pay for; I learned way too late that it's 100% worth buying surgical steel or titanium instead of the cheap stuff at Hot Topic. My piercings stopped getting irritated all the time from the low-quality metal.

UGH I've had that happen, too. Somehow the little silicone back on one of my earrings got lodged in my ear. I had no idea until I went to take a shower and saw my swollen, red ear in the mirror. It wasn't fun to get out and the aftermath was horrible, I bled everywhere. But I didn't lose the piercing, It's actually one of the few I still have.
 
Out of curiosity, what is the weirdest/most unusual tattoo or piercing you have?
 
AnOminous dijo:
The one piercing I've ever considered that I thought would be kind of cool and useful is a piercing through the bridge of the nose to house a bar with magnetic attachments at both ends for prescription lenses.

Any opinions on that?

I think the idea is cool because any facial cartilage piercing is kind of intense, but it would be a real pain in the ass in the metal screenings in any federal courthouse. And actually getting the magnetically attachable separate left and right lenses done would probably be an expensive custom job.
Presiona para expandir...
A bridge piercing just goes through the skin over the nose bridge, not through the cartilage, so it's less intense than you'd think. People have actually gotten custom jewelry/lens setups for glasses. It's expensive, but looks cool. One thing to consider is the lenses are usually rimless, so if the sun hits the lens in the right (wrong) way, it'll give an annoying glare that will block part of your line of vision, so I hope you like wearing hats if you're serious about getting it done.

GRANDnumberofMULTIPLES dijo:
@AnOminous -- I've actually heard of that before. Can't remember if it happened but I can envision it. You'd need some pretty strong magnets unless you enjoyed accidentally popping off a lens every now and then. I think even more frustrating than going into a Federal Courthouse would be the practicality of the implants. Surface piercings have a higher rate of rejection as do some implants--things like silicone under the backs of your hand, dermal anchors, etc. Wherever there's a lot of muscle movement means more movement that irritates the implant. This can cause the body to reject it which is as pleasant as it sounds. There's a chance that it wouldn't heal properly should it heal and you'd run the risk of having to have it removed, which depending on where it is in the healing/rejection process, might need some fun scalpel action.

As far as I know/can remember, the bridge piercing/lens setups I have seen aren't implants--just custom jewelry and lenses ground together.
 
I currently have nine piercings and one tattoo. Four lobe piercings (two on each ear), both tragi, an industrial through my left ear (I count that as two since there are two holes) and my navel.

My tattoo is of a hummingbird and a vine of flowers, and is located on my right shoulder blade.

EDIT: Thank you for merging my thread. Sorry about that.

It's kind of amusing how you can usually guess one's gender from a description of and location for their tattoos. For example: birds and plants could be either. A hummingbird and vines on the shoulder? Woman. Eagle across both shoulders and vines on upper arm? Man.
Tribal butterfly on lower back? Woman. Pack of angry wasps on chest? Man.
Piercings can go either way.

What if I sexually identify as a lesbian soul? Or an attack helicopter? WHAT THEN, SHITLORD?!?!

But in all seriousness, I kind of have to agree with that statement, though I will say there are some piercings I've never seen on guys. Like Monroes. Or an industrial, or a navel ring (at least not that he was showing off). Conversely, I'd only heard of one girl who got her nipples pierced, and that was because I happened to strike up a conversation with her when I was waiting in the parlor to get my left tragus done. But more or less, yeah, common piercings tend to be pretty unisex no matter where the location, unlike a tattoo.

Kek. Lesbians are still women, and choppers get something much cooler and more intimidating than piercings: miniguns and rockets.
Men tend not to get the cheek piercings (thot dots or whatever the kids call em these days) and women tend not to get those thick bars.
I've only known women to get the nipple piercings. Never met a bloke with em. Always kinda reminded me of a bath plug, heh
 
Piercings: 7/16" ear plugs, tongue, centered lower lip (removed)
Tattoos: Right arm - nearly fully sleeved, Left arm - forearm sleeve and a shitty one on my left upper arm, Right calf - half-sleeve, Left calf - 3/4 sleeve.

Next tattoo will most likely be a chest piece.

I've met quite a few guys with nipple piercings, but almost all of them were really shy about it or didn't talk about it unless their shirt was off.

I know heaps of guys with nipple piercings
 
I have a big, colorful tattoo on my left thigh. It's a lioness with a galaxy in her with the moon by one paw and a back paw resting on the sun. I made the tattoo artist do the whole thing in one go. The outlines were the worst part, it hurt like a bitch. However, he did a really good job, and my tattoo is still really vibrant a year later. People ask me if I just got it all the time when I'm wearing shorts.

I want to get a wolf on my right thigh kinda like how the lioness is, but with the Earth and Mercury instead. Not sure what color I want the wolf however.

I also really want nipple piercings but am way too scared to get them.
 
Recently upsized my lobes to 6g, so that's exciting! So now I have a helix, conch, two nostril pierces, septum, and one nipple (the other said no to life) piercing.

For tattoos, I have six...melanoma awareness ribbon on my right middle finger, filigree heart on right inner wrist, the wheel of the Rroma flag with "Ever Forward" around it on my left inner forearm, "art, truth, and politics" in Magyar on my right inner upper arm, a stylized belladonna flower on my right ribcage, and a yellow rose on my back.

I'm gonna get a consultation for my next pieces, persian-style peacock on my left thigh and elephant on the right.
