mypeircing

It was Thursday of the 03.03.05 against clock 15:15. I made myself on the way to my piercing studio Wildcat in Essen.

A day earlier, I wanted another piercing make Medusa. But I most a few hours before Pierce of my idea and I decided it to a second Labret piercing. Daf?r first reason was that my upper Schneidez?hne were begun by an accident and then I look at in retrospect was unsure how the Labret Stud on my gums w?rde effect, since in my first Labret strongly gums Back had formed, despite PTFE Moreover rod, I played in the past I have my second Labret 8 plugs body again make permit because I was already on the left side a second Labret had, but it was wrong and it has me so that I gest?rt it took enteffekt out.

When I ca at 16:30 clock at Wildcat arrived ware I could directly to Pierce by him and go from my new plan, the second Labret piercing, erz?hlen.

Then it went to Makierung the body with a pen, where the Labret piercing should sit. It was realtiv fast as the old one still could see Labretloch or scar them, and thus could fix exactly how the new Labret should be.

Jan Pierce of the Wildcat used to Beteubung a syringe. Details on the contents, etc., I can not say. The injection was something zwickend, but did not really hurt you k?nnte compare it with a short pinch in the arm.

Now, the eigendliche piercing start and I w?hlte jewelry as a primary advantage of a PTFE rod was next to the Zahnvertr?glichkeit, because this is not so much on the teeth and gums aufdr?ckt that the PTFE rod sp?ter after Abheilen and Abklang the swelling simply with a handels?blichen Scheer k?rzen can.

Jan now put the piercing needle and has slowly my lip pierced. The pain was affected by the Beteubungsspritze not zumerken and you have all noticed how the needle through the lower lip went.

At the same time I agree with Jan that he had taken my vein h?tte, but not bad w?re as this ?fters happen k?nnte a bruise and any forms. I should wait a moment and he has the rod exactly angespasst then, with little leeway.

I myself had noticed nothing of it, which a vein was taken because I have no pain versp?rte. I mirror I could see I like a dark blue interior punk in the mouth, above the lip formed under.

Sp?ter than I was at home, mu?te I note that the Labretstab into the lip 4 plugs body enters dr?ckt because the swelling had greatly increased (despite K?hlen with ice) and the Blauf?rbung unteranderem also has increased.

I could Wildcat community in the evening, against 20 clock Pierce nor the reach of Wildcat Munich, which zumir was very friendly and I had gerathen on n?chsten days immediately after Wildcat zufahren again to the rod by a gr??eren zuerneuern. The bruising w?re not bad, but the crew aufjedenfall should be changed so that the blood can reduce the lip.

Today, on Friday 04.03.05 I made myself then again on the way to Wildcat food and was directly by 13 clock where the Pierce had his ?ffnungszeiten.

On Friday, Wildcat has a Gastpiercer, named Tobi. I knew him beforehand and had it not my problem with the new Labret piercing stories and he immediately angeguckt. He was very helpful and had direct current PTFE rod replaced by a new, without which I consider the new pay scale PTFE mu?te and had directly to the old even noticed.

He erkl?rte me that it can happen that’s a vein is taken. He said that Jan had made the mistake and the crew had cut off zukurz. Because this is such Vorf?llen rather than oneself should zukurz. But he calmed me and said that the bruising and swelling aufjedenfall without problem goes away, but may take 1-2 weeks. Moreover, he said that I, where appropriate, on my lip around a little massage, so that the coagulated blood in the lip lockker or Blutverd?nnene funds zumir should take.

The second point login me but f?llt away, because I do not drink, etc. Alkhohol and no aspirin or ?hnliches zumir suppose.

Now I sit at home with my new PTFE rod and waiting that the bruising in the n?chsten days / weeks abklingt. At the same time I cleanse my new piercing with Ochtenisept always good and my mouth with multiple Z?hneputze on the day and in between with a mild antibacterial Mundsp?hlung.

In conclusion:

A bruise in the lip is not bad and can ?fters happen than you might think. The important thing is a sufficiently gro?en lips rod or ring zuw?hlen - still enough room between jewelry and swelling and thus the piercing not in the lip einschneidet or eindr?ckt.

It was the time to login, a new piercing. The question was - where my last and was even a time ago, apart from the last three were nothing new. ‘ve Nipple (left and right) and my Christina after the birth of my son renewed. In all the years I have had almost everything, apart from Oberfl?chenpiercings and some others.

At first I thought a septum. I snapped me a simple Creole and they put me in the nose. It looked good. When a septum, then a small, discreet ring. Retainer, I wanted no, I think these things just h?sslich. Well, septum .. So I began to experience BME according to reports BREEDERS. I read one after the other .. tja. That’s even then. Eventually I stumbled about the Gallery and the vertical Labret .. oh God! Like so many others have erz?hlten, it was really love at first sight. I read my exercise once a whiz bez?glich septum (which will then n?chste) and started everything about the VLab to collect any information, every picture I have my views and experience every report I read. I emailed my tattoo studio, with the hope that they’re this piercing have made.
Here in Graz I have this piercing even to niemadem seen only once in a rap video and it is also a long time ago. Well, Friday I sent the mail from Monday this week, I got an answer dumbells barbells. A positive and I was gl?cklich. The date was fixed, login Saturday the 18th June.

The next day it again I read every report about the VLab, kuckte me again and again at the pictures and fieberte forward eagerly to the weekend. And yesterday it was finally struck. When I entered the studio, there were Lea (info), Cony (tattoos) and Gerd (piercing) in the back yard and a?en. I told Lea that they should make no stress, I w?rde still a go smoke. After 1o minutes Gerd then came to me, begr??te me warmly (he has had several piercings done to me) and asked me with a serious undertone in his voice, whether I am really a vertical Labret m?chte. I nodded vigorously and said yes euphoric. I asked what his undertone to mean h?tte and he replied to me that it was very painful. I was armed, because I’ve read so that it is one of the most painful facial piercings should be. Was I do not mind, I wanted to make it absolutely!
Back we went into the studio and in the piercing room. He asked me whether I have a PTFE or titanium plugs wanted, I decided login titanium (I’m no friend of PTFE ..), a 12×1, 4mm curved Barbell with 4mm balls.
I put myself on the couch and Gerd made two points. I kuckte in the mirror … The top seemed not to be centered. Gerd had in the groove, which is based on my upper lip, which slightly left l?uft.
I myself am driven out years ago, when I banged my normal Labret pricked himself. Although it is only 1mm away from the center, f?llt still on when exactly kuckt.
So, markings removed and a new one. This was the upper too far back, I wanted the ball forward. We repeated perhaps f?nf or six times until we both were satisfied.
Gerd told me that he does not use pliers w?rde because the only unsch?ne blue to black stains on my lip w?rde leave. Login me was okay, I said he k?nnte start, closed my eyes and breathed deeply, as I tip of the needle on the underside sp?hrte my lip.
Then he pricked, I sp?hrte as they drilled through my lip .. It did hurt. It moved and burned a bit, but it was by far not as bad as I had expected it to me. Quite the contrary.
When I ausatmete, moved the needle through the remaining part of my lip. Sp?hrte I do not know how they came out top. It f?hlte just warm. I squatted still with closed eyes on the couch and Gerd laughed softly and said that I open up the eyes k?nnte.
I slipped on the couch to the left and looked at myself in the mirror. I had a needle through my lip .. and I am bleeding. Gerd gave me a Kleenex to wipe the blood from too. We waited until it no longer bleeding so bad and he f?delte the Barbell in the Plastikst?bchen and initially had few problems dranzuschrauben the ball, but the third time it worked.
Gerd went a step Back, had a wide grin on the face. “It is you damn well,” he said and I Hopsten from the couch and put me in front of the mirror.
How right he was, it looked so good. L?chelte I am certainly one minute in the mirror to w?hrend Gerd with a Kleenex in my mouth rumwischte because I am still bleeding slightly. I then moved some grimaces to see how it looks. We laughed.
Then we discussed the care, he dr?ckte me a Fl?schen Octenisept in hand, I paid 75 euros (Titan is not cheap ..) and then he invited me to a tea.
Na great, so I had terror, everything that I vollkleckern w?rde but hey - I could drink from the cup .. albeit somewhat clumsy. Before I verlie? kuckte the studio I still look dumbbells barbells in the mirror and noticed that my little one-sided lip swollen and blue was. But I was gl?cklich:)

Food was no problem, I could bite off my pizza but I managed to not more, from a glass or a bottle to drink. But I had provision and me the week straws bought;)
This morning my lip is still slightly swollen and a little blue, but otherwise I have no problems.

I can only tell you if their planning you make this piercing to be doing it! The pain is from person to person differently, but whether it hurts or doomed just a bit, it pays off, because this little metal St?ck makes your mouth or you simply sexy!

One Sunday evening I decided to me a new piercing to bite.

Actually, I like to give myself no facial piercings, but a Labret always liked me very well.

Since I w?hrend my 8 years continuous scrumper time in the Bundeswehr Sanit?tsdienst used and there was a medical “training” I have received dealing with Kan?len, disinfection, etc. as well as “sterile” familiar work.

Even knowledge of the anatomy of the human beings are not alien to me. In addition, I have in advance through the reading of reports, view pictures, etc. Enough about a Labretpiercing informed. I decided therefore to me this piercing even to bite. Can not even gro?e thing. A new experience login me, I created this step? Can I really make?

Since I have no piercing pliers had the sting Freih?ndig happened then, is also not bad.

So I went into the bathroom and put my tool to cope. A sterile Braun?le (2.1 mm), a pair of scissors, Desinfektonsmittel (Lysterine login and Neo inside Copenhagen’s login au?en), a pen to mark, gloves, K?chenrolle and Octenisept login thereafter. The Labret Stud (1.6 mm), I presented only once in a small cup with disinfectant. Since then the whole action but rather spontaneously expired, I had not the time nor the jewelry to sterilize anyone to enter. The scissors was also richly with disinfectant (Neo Copenhagen) treated.

Zun?chst I washed my H?nde gr?ndlich with soap and water, anschlie?end I rubbed it with a disinfectant H?nde-A. After the disinfectant evaporates, I was attracted to the previously used gloves (non-sterile examination gloves from latex, ungepudert).

As a first step, I have my lower lip inside exactly how au?en inspected, location of the Lippenb?ndchens, m?gliche position of the plug, Blutgef??e (if visible). The sting should be inside au?en done, so I do not pierce the Lippenb?ndchen Stud and not to close on or directly on the Lippenb?ndchen lies. After seeing the matching body had been a marked disinfection of the inside (Lysterine) and au?en (NeoKodan). Slowly but surely made himself scrumper piercing a certain Nervosit?t wide, the adrenaline rose steadily. My H?nde began to tremble slightly.

As I n?chstes ?ffnete the packaging of the Braun?le and put them in my Handle width cope. The previously disinfected scissors, I wrong. I won the Stud from the cup with Desinfaktionsmittel and presented this also ready. The adrenaline rose steadily.

With the left hand so I moved the lower lip forward, I had the needle in R?hrchen Back withdrawn, so I could R?hrchen first start without having to zustechen. Again breath, concentrate and go.

With slight pressure early dr?ckte I stepped on the needle, which is now drilled into the lip, a slight pain originated.

I now dr?ckte something solid to the needle glided easily through the lower lip, I was already at the top of Au?enseite see. Even a small St?ck and “?berzug” ?brigens the Kan?le which had 2.1 mm was seen. The first step was done, the needle was through. I pushed the Kan?le still a st?ck continue, so I could summarize R?hrchen below. Well I removed the needle from the ?berzug. From R?hrchen I cut the top part (normally the port login infusion) with the scissors lying ready and put the stud in the R?hrchen On. zittriger finger succeeded in spite of me easily. It is quite funny how much spit in such a short time can collect these n?mlich ran me out of the mouth and dripped into the basin.

Ok the Stud was eingef?delt, I moved so I w?hrend Stud by the slight pressure on fixed R?hrchen to Stud in fresh stab channel to place. It was done, the stud sa? now in my lower lip. It has bled w?hrend and after the sting ?berhaupt not.

Now I had to just turn the ball screws, which are not easy times, as the stud we still must adhere.

After about 2 minutes I had the ball down, the piercing sa? straight and looks just fine. I had done it, my own razor Labret.

Still a little Octenisept of au?en and again Lysterine to sp?len to the whole again abschlie?end to disinfect the wars. The adrenaline was now aussch?ttung on their H?hepunkt, I was totatl aufgeputscht.

Gro?artig my swollen lower lip is also not a good thing.

The Abheilphase was absolutely without problems, although a little stud was too short. Twice daily (morning and evening), I removed the dried Wundsekret and disinfected the new shield with Octenisept. After 3 weeks, everything was as far as the piercing healed, I still wear. Meanwhile, I have something l?ngeren Stud concerned about the comfort it comes to good.

Conclusion:

A good experience, a crisp, piercing even know you any more to sch?tzen.

Although it costs something to ?berwindung, but if you just ?berwiegt but this is the anticipation.

Warning:

Selbstpiercen the Spa? is not just between you should make. If you do not absolutely sure what one is doing because you should leave it.

Unlike tattoos, I was at my piercings never so sure. One liked me a lot (for example Labret, Industrial, tunnels), but I was never 100% sure how it Tattoos in the case. Nevertheless, I often looked at pictures of piercings and ?berlegte back and forth, because now if I should dare one or not. Through a buddy, who is himself not long ago his two nipples has Pierce leave, I came to the decision to just go with him to his Pierce to drive and just advised me to leave because I until then by piercing but in general rather very little background knowledge had.

The date:

So we went together to Saarbr?cken into the studio “Generation X” (www.generationx-bodypiercing.de), where we are then by Ralph, the assistant to the studios, only about once advised lie?en ales. The object of my desire was a Labret. He erkl?rte me, how are the w?rde crisp, piercing, as it will post m?sste what possible risks m?glich w?ren and nat?rlich about the price. 36 euro should cost St?ck good, and I was totally fire and flame. I asked for an appointment whereupon I replied was that if I now h?tte time, it also now make k?nne, just because no dates or other anst?nden.

Said than done, I am only allowed to sit down again, w?hrend everything was prepared and had several indications yet about my constitution (n?chtern, no drugs, narcotics or ?hnliches) make and sign - What I have to just that day also did not know is a shield law as an K?rperverletzung represents - that this will happen, in my opinion and I’m mentally n?chterner Constitution. After 10 minutes I called the head of the studios and Hauptpiercer in the small, but very clean “right” studio, where he prepared me, in which he ?rtlich slightly bet?ubende Fl?ssigkeit on the piercende body auftrug. Unfortunately also had a few whiskers out believe, because st?rend in the way they were and therefore had to be removed beforehand. erkl?rte He briefly before me again, as he now exactly this process durchf?hren w?rde and asked if everything was in order, which I in good conscience with “yes” answer .

So it struck - I was on the couch in the studio and Stefan, of Pierce, marked the spot where the piercing sp?ter should sit. Then it started: With a pair of pliers (the exact name of the Ger?tes unfortunately I know not) he fixed the lower lip, then after the words “now deterred me nit” the needle through the skin to drive, but I almost do not sp?rte and also felt uncomfortable as far. Then he put back the plastic part through (you only use plastic nipple shield, because this is in contrast to much metal-friendly login gums and is Z?hne), knipste the rod on a L?nge screwed me and the metal ball it. That was everything? Yes, that was all. After positively answered question, whether with me everything was ok, mainly due to circulatory and so I had to get up and myself in the mirror in my new piercing look. And I liked it directly at once! He had really done a good job, it sa? exactly centered and looked just great!

I should have followed me outside in the living room a little sit down to just a little rest to K?rper not unn?tig to stress and Ralph erkl?rte me again the exact post-treatment. To this end, he gave me a special Fl?chschen with a healing Fl?ssigkeit and a sort of “notepad” login to post-treatment. M?chte Here I am especially grateful to him - there are (unfortunately unfortunately) far too few people of his variety in the body mod field, I was yet never so h?flich treated so well informed. He took so much time login me, as it benn?tigte and we noticed that he with a lot of heart in the thing. So here again - thanks Ralph.

Once all gekl?rt he was and I still have the note, making any questions or problems directly with them in the studio call, along the way there, everything was done and I went home happy …

The aftermath

I must openly admit that the reactions are very divided - I’ve heard of “what you have to H?lle as only made” art “damn, this is so cool” everything geh?rt in the days afterwards lip labret, but I must say - I do not regret it bit and w?rde me anytime a new piercing sting, if I think it gef?llt me.

i filled out the paperwork…..we looked around about 5 min. then went to the back room, i sat on a chair…….he had to raise it really high b/c i’m short. i rinsed my mouth, he put the dots and said to leave my tongue out. i didn’t even get to look at the position with a mirror!!!

he clamped my tongue, then it was over like 1/2 a second later. i thought it would hurt, but it didn’t hurt at all. i didn’t bleed or drool. i psyched myself out & i didn’t think about it hurting. it felt kinda good to get it done, i was relieved & happy as hell that i FINALLY got it. he gave me a free barbell…..light pink bendy bar, and black w/ dark pink striped ball.

he put the barbell in……didn’t even feel it. my tongue wasn’t even numb or anything. i talked fine right after, like i wasn’t even pierced. my tongue was swollen for about 4-5 days but not really noticable. i hated the yellow coloring & how the little ring started growing up. i was scared my tongue would be swollen like my friend’s….she couldn’t even close her mouth!!! my sis’s & friends made fun of my lysp……and it was hard to say words with “L’s”……oh and some spanish words with “rr’s”

i didn’t take any pain medicine, (so to those of you who did…..you’re pussies), didn’t sleep with my head the proper way, didn’t use cleaning solution….just brushed my teeth & tongue. i got sooo hungry, i started eating 2 days after. i hadda be careful to not bite the ball. i still have to be careful, but i’m mostly used to it.

i’ve had it for 3 weeks today…..the original barbell was really long since the sweeling went down completely. i changed the barbell 2 days ago…..to a shorter bar. the balls are bigger, but i love it. i already bought other barbells (retainer for work)(barbell with red background, black star logo).

i’m planning on getting another piercing…..one across the top of my tongue, instead of vertical…..i also want a genital hood piercing.

i recommend tongue piercings to whoever still hasn’t gotten it…..GET IT!! i would do it all over again if i could….wait i can….oops. well my boyfriend loves it (teehee!) can’t wait to see how oral will be different with it. i LOVE playing with it, biting the ball, clickng it against my teeth, pushing it up or down a little so it stings, sticking it out at people, & showing it off.

I’ve had ear piercings since I was ten years old, starting with the usual ear lobe, then later on, I got my cartilage done, then second lobes and so on and so forth. I had been toying with the idea of a new and different piercing recently, so when a friend mentioned that he was getting people together to get pierced, I was pretty much on board.

Since I am still defiantly not ready to get any piercings away from the ears, I decided to research into what I could get on my ear. I wanted something different, so I did a bit of research, and found this web site. It had so many useful pictures and stories that helped me find out what I would like to get done.

Eventually, I had decided to get either the rook or the tragus… eventually settling on the tragus. I had never had a piercing done with a needle before and I was so terribly nervous, it was all I could think about for two days.

When the day finally came round, we set off into downtown Vancouver to Next! on Granville Street. The long car ride out there was painful to sit through, but well worth it in the end. We entered Next! which was incredibly hot inside, I guess because they lacked an air conditioner for the hot summer days that we were enduring. The main room was dark, with many different art pieces on the walls, tattoo artists sketching in their sketchbooks, a few casual customers browsing about. We walked up to the desk, I was trying my absolute best to seem calm and collected, which ended up working well in the end for me! Anyways, we filled out the necessary forms, saying how old we were, what we wanted to get done, we picked out jewelry, and discussed with the guy at the front desk what we were getting, and did the whole small talk nervous thing for a while.

After all was paid for all we had to do was wait for our piercer to be ready. We waited and waited, and finally, our piercer Kori emerged from the back rooms and another happy customer followed shortly behind, brand new piercing all finished and was showing it off to her friends and thanking Kori for her excellent job. Kori then came over to us, introduced herself, and again we did the small talk thing, and then we followed her to the back of the main room, into a hallway, which led to the rooms in the back for piercing.

I ended up having to go last of three people, but I was intent on watching the other two get their piercings so I got a basic idea of what to expect. The first piercing was snake bites, which technically counts as two I suppose, and the second one I watched was an eyebrow piercing. Both piercings went smoothly, which meant it was my turn to lie in the chair. I climbed up, proclaimed which ear was to be pierced and off she went to work.

First, she cleaned the area to be pierced, and then she marked it. She got the approval of myself and my friends and then told me to lie back in the chair and turn my head to the right (Since I was getting my left ear done.) She got the needle ready, and came round to the left side of the chair. Head turned, she got into position, and she told me to take deep breaths. As I did so, she watched and listened, and on the third breath, she inserted the needle. Now, as I said before, I read stories on here about getting this particular piercing, and everyone said that it was going to be very painful. For me, it really didn’t hurt as bas as I was preparing myself for, but it did however make a crunching noise as the needle was passing through (yuumm). The part that did hurt a bit was the actual inserting of the jewelry, but nothing that was unbearable or anything.

After the hoop was clamped closed, I had to pick a coloured ball for the hoop. I sat up, finally decided on a yellow one, and glanced in the mirror to admire it. As I did that, I noticed that I had blood dripping slowly down my neck, and was a little shocked. I defiantly didn’t think about the possibility of it bleeding for some reason. I got the attention of the piercer, who was sterilizing the ball, and she quickly cleaned it up, and assured me that I was done bleeding. She got me to lie back down, and inserted the ball to the hoop, checked one more time for blood, and I was all finished!

The pain from the tragus piercing, for me, was fairly minimal. I did get a bit of a weird tingly feeling in my jaw, and it hurt a bit to smile the next day, but other than that, only the expected tenderness that a fresh piercing will exhibit. The only weird thing was that it started to randomly bleed later on the day I got it pierced… in an ice cream shop… down my neck… nothing like a little blood to draw some attention to yourself!

All in all, I am so happy that I picked the tragus, but that is not to say that I wont go back for a rook later on my next piercing excursion!

Q: I was wondering if an endorphin rush or the rush that one gets when pierced could be lessened? When I got my vertical labret done, I gained a high that lasted for more than [an hour] and I wasn’t quite “all there” through the whole piercing process. I had to have my sister and friend with me, and even once it was all done I was walking drunk and slurring my words. I’d like to feel less of it so I could stay semi-conscious because it feels too much like a nasty drug trip.

A:There are a few physiological reasons your body could have reacted in this way. One could have simply been that you were way too worked up to begin with. The let-down after realizing something isn’t nearly as bad as you thought it would be can be as powerful as the initial endorphin rush. It could also be that your blood sugar was low from not eating sufficiently before your piercing. Always make sure to eat at least a light meal about an hour before any tattoo or piercing procedure, and if you’re really nervous or anxious, try some calming breathing exercises.

If the above techniques don’t work, I would suggest seeing your doctor to make sure that your heart and blood pressure are okay. You simply may release too many hormones when under stress and your doctor may be able to recommend other methods of preventing this in the future.

I did get a bit of a weird tingly feeling in my jaw, and it hurt a bit to smile the next day, but other than that, only the expected tenderness that a fresh piercing will exhibit. The only weird thing was that it started to randomly bleed later on the day I got it pierced… in an ice cream shop… down my neck… nothing like a little blood to draw some attention to yourself!

All in all, I am so happy that I picked the tragus, but that is not to say that I wont go back for a rook later on my next piercing excursion!

Body piercing is an invasive procedure and is not without risks. When properly performed, these risks can be minimized, and most individuals who receive their piercing from a professional piercer, and who take care of their new piercing as recommended by their piercer, will enjoy a safe and healthy piercing experience.

A nipple piercing 4 months after removing the jewelry, most likely an allergic reaction to the metal used

Risks of note include:
Allergic reaction to ingredients of products used to clean the new piercing, or of ancillary products used in proximity to the piercing (e.g., soap, hydrogen peroxide, isopropyl alcohol, antibacterial products, antiseptic medicines, makeup, hairspray, swimming pool chlorine, etc.). This risk can be minimized by cleaning the piercing as recommended by a professional body piercer (different piercers will have differing recommendations), by not contaminating the fresh piercing with irritating products, and by not swimming in chlorinated water.
Chlorine from swimming pools may cause the pierced area to dry out, which may cause the piercing to be torn out very easily.
Allergic reaction to the metal in the piercing jewelry, particularly nickel. This risk can be minimized by using high quality jewelry manufactured from surgical stainless steel or similar inert metals.
Bacterial infection, particularly from Staphylococcus aureus. However, this risk is greatly reduced when the piercing is performed by a professional body piercer using best practice piercing techniques, and when appropriate steps are taken during the aftercare period to avoid infection. Blunt force piercing, such as that associated with the use of ear piercing instruments, increases the chance of a bacterial infections. For that reason, among others, piercing guns should never be used to pierce any part of the body other than earlobes.
Parasitic and protozoan infections may occur by swimming in lakes, rivers, streams, and oceans during the healing period. The best way to reduce this risk is to avoid swimming in these locations.
Excess scar tissue, which can be caused by improper piercing, cleansing, and stretching. This may result in loss of sensation and difficulty piercing and stretching that area of skin in the future.
Keloid formation can sometimes occur, particularly among people who are pre-disposed to this condition through heredity.
Trauma to a fresh piercing, usually associated with unintended entanglement of the piercing jewelry with another object. This risk is always present, but can be reduced by using jewelry appropriate for the piercing, and covering or taping over jewelry during sports activities. Also, larger gauge piercings will tend to resist tearing better than smaller gauge piercings.
Viral infection, particularly from hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. However, it is important to note that although hepatitis has been transmitted through the practices of ear piercing, body piercing, and tattooing, there have not been any documented cases of HIV transmission associated with these procedures (see CDC Fact Sheet: HIV and Its Transmission). As with bacterial infections, the risk of viral infection is minimized when proper piercing techniques are used, particularly by the use of autoclaved disposable piercing needles and the autoclaving of jewelry prior to installation.

Erosion of gums (in lip and tongue piercings). In some cases, gum bleeding can be induced. In extreme cases, teeth may fall out if there isn’t enough gum to hold them in place.
Piercing may become addictive. Psychologically, one may become addicted to the experience of obtaining a new piercing, or the response of one’s peers or oneself to the consequent alteration in body image

Stef again.

So last night at about 3am I pierced my web with a sewing needle. I have already written a story about that. Just to cut it short, my bellybar was too big to go through the hole because a sewing needle is really thin. So I decided to leave it until I got a CBR the next day and re-pierce it then.

So today I woke up and my web was slightly sore and a little swollen from last night. It was ok to eat and talk etc. but kind of sore to move my tounge around too much. There was scar tissue on the side that I inserted the needle.

Later on, I went to town and after a small argument with the jewelery lady, I got a small-ish CBR [not sure of size] and a new set of [darning] needles which I thought would be a little better and thicker than sewing needles. They turned out to be the same size as my CBR.

In the evening, I decided it was a good time when my mum was settled into watching her soaps. So I put the needle and CBR into boiled water for about 45mins. And set a little ice on my web for about 5mins. I could see white scar tissue from where I had pierced the night before, and thought it would be sorer than it previously was.

I brushed my teeth and swished Listerine around my mouth for about a minute while I put on Latex gloves.

I poked at the scar tissue for a minute and bits of it kinda fell off which scared me a little. I was a little nervous, but not much.

My web seemed smaller than it had the night before [it was small anyway, but now it was tiny] and I wasnt quite sure where I should pierce as I wanted to avoid the scar tissue. But as there wasnt much other places I could pierce, I decided to pierce through the scar tissue which seemed to be straight in the middle.

As I had read on BME, because of the scar tissue, it WAS sorer than the night before and didnt go through as easily. Eventually I got it through, and got more nervous as i heard that POP sound… There was no blood, unlike the last time when I’d experienced a few drops.

I left the needle in for 30mins while I watched some tv. I read that rings go through easier the longer the needle is left in.

After 30mins, I decided I had enough drool on me and wanted to get this ring in.

I slowly pulled out the needle and I could see a clear hole. I took the CBR out of the boiled water and wiped it with an alcohol wipe. I removed the ball and got to work…

The ring was alot harder to put in that I’d expected it to be. It just wouldnt go through the whole way, and I guess the drool wasnt helping matters.

Eventually it went through and I thought that was the hard part over. Boy was I wrong…

I closed my mouth for a few mins to give my tounge a rest, but I was afraid of the ring falling out. So I opened my mouth and lifted my tounge and pushed it as far forward as I could, but there was no way in hell I could get this ball on! It was them click in kinds, and it wasnt very friendly..

I tried for about 20mins with my tounge in all different positions, and with my arms, tounge and web aching, I decided to try again later. And left the ring in.

So now here I am, my web is a little swollen and sore and has been in about an hour now. With my web swollen, the rook piercing looks to be in the perfect place, so I’m afraid of it being too shallow when the swelling dies down. I still have no idea how I’m gonna get the ball of the CBR onto the ring and I really dont wanna take this sexual piercing out as I love the feeling of it!

I think the ring is a little big as it’s rubbing of my bottom front teeth but maybe its just because its new. The woman in the jewelery shop said that there was no way I’d get the next smaller size down closed, glad I didnt get that one.

I really like this piercing, its fun and easy to hide from parents. But anyone thinking about it, go to a professional, anything could happen if you do it yourself.

And a little advice to people getting this done! Don’t be as stupid as me and not have eaten all day! Cos I’m starving now!!
