Well, I got my Eyebrow pierced. My work raised over $1400 for the Cancer society. So I am very proud of us. It has also been alot of fun to see the staff's reaction to getting it done.

WOW...I'm all for added pleasure, but I don't think I could handle piercing that. I disagree, my belly button hurt! I didn't think it was worth it but I had it so i wasn't going to take it out. I had to when I got pregnant and it never went back in right Although I have a mommy belly so I keep it covered now.

Ya, the mommy belly (which I have as well) causes me not to expose my middle anymore, but I haven't taken it out, I still like my belly button piercing. It covers up my "Big " Belly button...

I hate how after 8 years of having a belly button piercing it randomly decides to get infected. DAMN IT! I'm trying so hard to salvage it. I don't want to have to take it out

I always wanted my belly button pierced when I was younger, but my mom was afraid I would look like I was in bondage. And then when I was old enough, I was too active in sports to get it done. Now I am kind of glad I didn't, but I do have six ear piercings, and the bottom ones are "stretched" with spacers. Some people think they are gross, but I acutally get a lot of compliments from older people about them (they kind of look like purple icicles)

oh cool! I used to have 12g in my ears I let them go back to normal though. That was during my crazy phase when I was snowboarding a lot. Surprisingly the belly ring never interfered with my sports. I love my belly ring. I really hope I don't have to take it out. I was soooo sad when I had to take the nip rings out because I really liked them.

I came across this thread b/c I'm worried about my piercing healing over. I took it out for the lap, and I'm afraid to put it back yet because the way my belly button is shaped, the ring is going to touch the incision. Actually, it will probably get jabbed up in it pretty good, and I don't really want to take that chance. I'm just afraid it's going to heal over, leaving this weird hole over my bellybutton like a cyclops. I got it several years ago when I finally got out of a horrible relationship with this controlling SOB who wouldn't "let" me do anything. (Let me clarify that. I didn't need to get his permission to do anything. He controlled everything and everyone in his life so that everything was just exactly how he wanted it by using guilt, shame, or by just harassing the living sh*t out of them until they gave in. Sometimes it wasn't worth the headache, and I think he knew that.) After I got my freedom, I cut my hair short, dyed it, plucked my eyebrows (yes, he was that insane!) I thought about the belly ring for a while, but I was scared. One day I went to a place to get my grown-over third ear-piercing re-done, and at the last second, I decided to do the belly, too. It was empowering, and the pain (which wasn't that bad) was like a weird masochistic high or something. A funny-ish story my hubby and I always joke about happened a couple of years ago. His brother and family are very cool but also very conservative, so I always felt like kind of a harlot with my belly ring. They have a pool and a hot tub, but I always wore a one-piece around them - partly because of the belly ring, partly because I didn't want to be half-naked around them, and partly cuz I'm less slim than I was when I got the piercing. In what I think was an attempt to dissuade his teenage daughter from getting her belly pierced, when the topic came up my brother-in-law acted all non-chalant, like he had no problem with a piercing at all. It was just that they were " so five years ago." Hubby and I joked later that I couldn't let them see my piercing now, not because it was risque but because it was so five years ago. I can't imagine getting anything pierced like the nips or nether-region, mostly because of a longtime fear stemming from an incident when I was as a kid in which my cousin got her hoop earring caught on something and ripped out.

Lol I just noticed this convo...I have my belly button pierced...had it since I was 14 (and I went to have it done, my parents are pretty liberal so they were awesome enough to sign for it...their thing was, as long as I was not out sneaking around and getting into all kinds of trouble "like my two oldest sisters lmao" that a belly ring wouldn't be a crime). As far as other scar coverage depending on how comfortable you are with it I'd say tattoos are good. I have three myself and they all have specific meanings to me so they aren't a regret at all. Also there are certain tattoo artists that specialize in covering scars in the most natural way, making it look like normal skin without a tattoo at all. The lady that did two out of my three also specialized in that...she also did "repair work" for lack of a better word for women who had surgery due to breat cancer. She could minimize the appearance of the scarring on the breast...It's really something to consider if you are uncomfortable with scars...Then again in an opposing view, scars are really just stories when you think about them...not necessarily a bad thing. I'm a rambler sorry.
