    I was wondering what piercings you had and some information on the history of them. For each of them answer the following questions.

    How many piercings do you have?
    What are the locations?
    How old were you when you got each one?
    Who did each one?
    Whats your parents opinion of them?
    What motivated you to get each one?
    On a one to ten scale rate the pain of each one.

    thanks

    I've had my ears pierced since I was a baby, so I dont know about that.
    On Sat I got my left eyebrow pierced, I dont know the guy's name, I think it was Ben. I just randomly decided that day to get my eyebrow pierced. I've always wanted to have one there and now I finally did it. I told my mom I got a piercing, she asked why? haha, my dad, I'll avoid at all cost for him to see it, he'll get EXTREMELY angry and probably will want me to take it off, I wont do it, so that would be such a huge drama and I'll try to avoid it the most I can. At least until Im completely independent.
    I always liked the eyebrow piercing, I convinced a guy I was dating to get it, like 2 years ago, I knew I couldnt get it. I went with him, he was such a baby about it haha
    Then I spent a couple of days feeling sad and on Sat I decided to do something fun and that seemed like a good idea.
    The pain I would rate it as a 0 or a 1, it was completely painless, I dont know, I enjoyed it, but Im kinda freaky, so dont trust me. It was a really good rush.

    How many piercings do you have? 8
    What are the locations? 3 on each earlobe, 1 right though the middle of my left ear, and my right nippe.
    How old were you when you got each one? 4 and 14 for the earlobe piercings, 16 for the nipple, and 18 for the middle ear one. i don't know what to call that one because i walked into a tattoo shop and asked them to pierce the middle of my left ear.
    Who did each one? i got the lobes done at two different hairdressing places, the nipple and ear one done at a tattoo/piercing place
    Whats your parents opinion of them? don't care too much at all, though they don't know about my nipple.
    What motivated you to get each one? theres no real reason behind my ear lobes, other then they look nice. i got my nipple done because i thought it would be funny. i got the other ear piercing one day when i was walking home from work pissed off and decided i needed some pain and a piercing.
    On a one to ten scale rate the pain of each one. Ears : 2. Middle Ear: 6 Nipple: 6

    I pierced my nose once...
    Didnt hurt at all, looked ok for a few days.
    Then my nose got swollen, so the piercing had to be taken out. My poor nose was so big and it was bleeding.
    Luckily, it was nothing serious but I am not getting anything else pierced again...ever !

    1. I've got 11 total, if you count each ear piercing.
    2. I've got 3 in each ear, my belly button, labret, nostril, septum, eyebrow.
    3. I got my first set of ear piercings when I was 6. I started doing a lot of self-piercing when I was 15-16 years old (had to take more than half of them out) but kept the 2nd and 3rd sets of ear piercings that I did on myself. I got my belly button done at 16, I self-pierced my nose as well at 16... I had a bunch of cartilage piercings that I did, but ended up taking out, then had my labret done at 20, then my eyebrow at 21, then my septum also at 21.
    4. My first set of ears was done at Wal-Mart, hot, I know. Second and third sets done by ME. Belly Button done at Ladies and Gentlemen's Quarters in Mequon, WI. Nose done by ME. Labret, eyebrow, and septum done by Ms. Emily at Gothic Body in Milwaukee, WI ... she's the BEST.
    5. My parents... obviously aren't a huge fan of piercings, they are pretty old school like that. They don't mind my ear piercings, but they didn't like it when I started stretching my lobes (they aren't stretched anymore)... when I first did my nose, they hated it, but they've come to like it and think it's the cutest body piercing I've got besides my ears. They don't mind my belly button too much, they are iffy about my eyebrow and HATEEEE my labret and septum.
    6. What motivated me? Well, the ear piercing when I was 6... I am not sure, I can't completely remember. I think it had a lot to do with the fact that I was a huge tomboy and wanted to look girlier. My self-piercings in my ears were simply out of boredom, not going to lie... and I had just recovered from a cutting problem, and moved onto piercing myself, basically. Kind of strange. My belly button was basically simply for vanity, sad, I know. My nose, not sure. My labret was done because I had wanted one for YEARS, and finally decided to put an end to the self-piercing. After that I developed a liking to the healing process and spirituality in it. So I had my eyebrow and septum done. My septum is my biggest achievement... I was a huge baby about it for awhile and put it off. My septum resembles my strength. And it to me, is one of the most primal piercings you can get, and god knows how much I enjoy primitive culture. Now... piercing's become quite the addiction and I have tons more ideas.
    7. Pain of first ear lobes: 8. but I was young
    Pain of self-pierced lobes/cartilage: 4 or 5. It hurts a lot more to do it yourself, really, but I took it like a champ :)
    Pain of self-done nose: honestly, 1. Didn't hurt a bit.
    Pain of belly button: 2ish. The clamp was uncomfortable, but not the piercing itself.
    Pain of labret: 2ish. The piercing didn't hurt, but when she screwed the ball on it made it feel really tight and sore.
    Pain of eyebrow: 3ish. Just fucking awkward. Least favorite piercing really... I love the way it looks, but it's the biggest hassle. It was the biggest hassle to try to clean, it kept getting bumped, it snagged on things (especially when changing clothes) and the little balls are so tiny that it gives me a headache to even THINK of changing the jewelry.
    Pain of septum: 1. Didn't hurt a fucking bit, and I got all worried about nothing. Even the day after for me, was nothing. Everyone kept telling me the next day would feel terrible, like I got punched in the nose. I had already forgotten it was there.

    The end :)

    How many piercings do you have?
    I have 9 total

    What are the locations?
    3-Left Ear, 1-Right Ear, Both Nipples, PA, Frenum, Lorum

    How old were you when you got each one?
    I was 18 when I pierced my ear for the first time. My first body piercing I was 37.

    Who did each one? I had my ears done at the mall, but I have since stretched them to 10g. My nipples were done in a shop and my lower 3 piercings I did myself.

    Whats your parents opinion of them?
    They hate them. My parents are pretty old and don't find much about
    this good at all. They don't know about the 3 lower body piercings, nor do they need to know.

    What motivated you to get each one?
    Ears - it was a Rock and Roll thing. Plus in the early '80's, I got a lot of girls with that. When I started going through my divorce, I started into the body mod culture as a breaking free kind of thing.

    As for the pain, I think that my right nipple hurt the most. I really did not have any pain at all with any of mine. Really

    i was 55 when i got it, i think it's the coolest thing, wish i had done it years ago
    i always wear a hoop, never studs, i like the feeling of something dangling from my ear
    i know it's not that exciting, but that's my story lol

    How many piercings do you have?
    3
    What are the locations?
    2 in the left ear lobe, one in teh right
    How old were you when you got each one?
    I first got my ears pierced at 11, then today I got the third one.

    Claire's Accessories did the first set, and messed my ears up for a year, Bell House Gllery did the one I got today.
    Whats your parents opinion of them?
    They like them, my Mum paid for the first set, and doesn't mind about the new one.
    What motivated you to get each one?
    When I was 11, it was the littke girly thing of getting your ears pierced. This time round it was because I wanted to remember what piercings felt like, and also I wanted something at symbolise my new life as a hippie.
    On a one to ten scale rate the pain of each one.
    3 for all of them.

    I don't have many.. heh, pretty close to NONE.. yet but I figure I'll fill it out 'cause I'm bored. :)

    How many piercings do you have? three.
    What are the locations? just earlobes and a second hole in my right lobe. hell, maybe i'll even it out tonight. i feel like piercing myself.
    How old were you when you got each one? hmm, i don't remember too well. a year or two ago. i got them all around pretty much the same time.
    Who did each one? my friend alexis did one of my lobe piercings. haha, for some reason i just wanted ONE ear done that night. the other two were done at claire's about a week later.
    Whats your parents opinion of them? hm. my mom wasn't too happy when i came home with a safety pin in my right ear. she's fine with it now. my parents definately aren't too psyched that i want at least one or two more piercings, though. i just find them irresistable.
    What motivated you to get each one? my ears? hm, a little curiosity mixed with a little drunkenness. and i figured i had to pierce my lobes sometime.
    On a one to ten scale rate the pain of each one? honestly, i didn't feel much at all. ESPECIALLY with the one done with a safety pin one drunken night.. haha, i guess that makes sense. it also healed so quickly and beautifully.
