The Price of Piercing

While body piercing has increased in popularity and social acceptance, long healing time, infections and scarring can plague those who pierce.

"frictional irritation?" you mean to say "IT HURTS WHY WE FUCK!":24:

 

[Peter Parka]

Sorry, no irritations in my piercing here. Sorry to disapoint you.

Me - none

 

[Peter Parka]

Navel. Had an ear for a while but got bored with it and took it out.

Just my ears. Always wanted my navel pierced but didn't figure it would go well with my surgery scars.

I had my ear peirced, but left the thingy out too long.

Don't really care as it used to get caught on my helmet.

ARRRRRRRRRRGH! How long ago was this - mines full of stones with an EF of 27%

Funny, but actually the eye piercing is the most dangerous. If not done right it can hit a vein which can blind you in that eye.

I want one now!

 

[StfuitzD]

That makes me want to remind myself to not get my lip piercing

It was in 2003...

Actually... after all the pain the surgery was such a huge relief. And the pain pills were fantastic.

It pisses me off people who have a problem with piercing...I don't have a problem with people who don't pierce their body...

I've got my tongue done and I will probably in future pierce other parts of my body.

Most body piercists take their work very seriously, and are extremely talented and careful at what they do. Yet, according to that little image, it seems one is guarenteed to be fucked up tremendously from any piercing any where. Which is complete crap.

I had some minor swelling, which resulted in this so called "speech impedement" when I had my tongue done... lol, speech impedement? I had trouble saying some S's for a few days. A temporary lisp.

Big. Fucking. Deal.
