Piercings? Just Ouchies...

My mother was all for it when I got mine done at 12, where she came from everyone had pierced ears, including kids. They just did it with a needle and thread.
 
Didn't get my ears pierced until I was 30, and honestly it's been ages since I've worn my earrings, just have a couple of pairs. Some piercings are strange, but the 'times they are a changin'. :cool:
 

Ice and a needle ouch, the piercing gun they use now is quick but still no fun. I dunno tattoos don't really hurt like that. I remember the only one that involved a bit of pain was a portrait of Sophie on my shoulder. It took hours for the shading and a week to heal. But it's a lifetime photo of my girl. I like tats that have been thought out. Some folks have body art you just know they'll regret someday.

I mean something violent that you think is cool as a teen or a taco that seems funny at the time...not a good idea...ditto for phrases not in your native tongue, you want to make sure you know exactly what it says. Oh one more thing I would tell young people, do a spell check. It would be embarrassing to have a permanent typo.

Gauging is something I totally don't understand. My son said that some people do cheeks too. In any case if they get removed it would take plastic surgery to fix the damage. For those who don't know the term it means disks in your ears that you gradually add so your lobes stretch. For cheeks, someone modifying their face so you can see their teeth...NOOOOO

Boy, mine hurt like the dickens. I had three friends with me and they kept saying, "Go to your happy place, go to your happy place..." Toward the end, my "happy place" would have to be "unconscious".
