I have seen people men and women alike who have piercings in their tongue, nose, lips and even bellybuttons nowadays.
I just don't get the reason why they are having their body parts pierced, i think they are just hurting themselves.
Well, i think its ok if girls pierce their ears, its quite normal for girls to do so.
How about you? What do you think about it?
Do you also pierce other parts of your body besides your ears? Why do you do so?

I had my ears pierced 13 times on the left and 6 on the right. I had my navel pierced and two other body piercings. I did it because it suited me. I was a bit of a wild child....lol. I marched to my own drummer and I still do. Now I don't have the body for all that so I just have a blue faux hawk.

I think that hurt a lot? Did it?
13 times in one ear? Is there anything left of your ear?


myLot reputation of 98/100. vicneedscoffee (879)   ranked 2,848 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

What's left of my ear? Swiss cheese...lol. The ears never hurt. I did those myself. The other piercings. Yes they hurt a bit, but no more than my tattoos. wink

Hehe... I think you are really good at piercing...
It didn't hurt you even just a little when you pierced your ear?
I think both piercing and tatoo hurt a lot. Well i think they both do bleed but the tatoo would cover a wider portion of your body as compared to just piercing where there would just be one small hole to be pierced. hehe

hi dear body piercing particularly ears is not for some sort of decoration .
the ear and the nose piercing is practised in india and other countries of the region since time immemorial and is intentionally done with a purpose.
it has some sort of nerves which affect the body systems.
the hole is not left blank and most of the time apiece of gold is put in there which seems to be having some kind of effect on the body.
well i have come across other piercings of very heavy nature where the iron rods are used to pierce any other body part like tongue, sides of the belly .
they say to have some effect to please the gods!!
oh my god!!
all other places like eye brows and belly buttons and decorating with some sort of jewellery is mere attraction .

Yup, i have heard about those practices too. Its quite weird but lots of locals from those place practice it a lot.
I have heard that silver piercing like earrings can cleanse our blood. I'm just not sure if its really true.
Anyways thanks for your response Kushank..:)

Ouchhh. I guess that realy does hurt a lot. I guess thats really a painful way to express our sense of fashion to ourselves and others. It had never occurred in my mind even just tryig to had my ears and other body parts pierced and tatooed on. hehe.
Have you had any piercings or tatoo before you even met your husband?


myLot reputation of 83/100. eden32 (2786)   ranked 1,936 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

I had half of those long before I met my husband. It's not painful- wearing high heels is painful. It takes a second to get something pierced, I barely felt a pinch & then it was over.


myLot reputation of 92/100. jewilim (260)   ranked 637 out of 26,796 in people  3 months ago

I think it could be psychological... If you would be anticipating the pain before the piercing you would feel it but if you won't think about the pain you probably won't feel anything at all.. I guess. hehe:)

I have have my ears pierced twice and thats plenty. I think some are in for it for the pain. Some are in it because it is a fad and so many have to follow the fad. Some I just think are crazy. When I see some of the pictures makes me cringe and am like omg how many and where?


myLot reputation of 92/100. jewilim (260)   ranked 637 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

I guess there are really lots of things that may influence what people do and i guess that includes the people around us and the things that we usually see on television.
Thanks for sharing shooie.:)

I don't understand why. In my opinion, that's painful and it doesn't look nice. However, some people may think they look so cool. I don't even have my ears pierced because I am afraid of the pain.

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup


myLot reputation of 92/100. jewilim (260)   ranked 637 out of 26,796 in people  4 months ago

Yah.. Same here. Hehe. I think it doesn't look that cool. I just don't see why we need to pierce our ear, we might just be hurting ourselves with that...
Anyways Thanks for your response..
I like to go to China someday, i have only been to Hong Kong once.

For me, my piercings are part of who I am, part of my identity. Many of us pierce or tattoo as a means of expressing ourselves. Sure, some of it is fashion based or peer pressure, but there are enough of us who do it out a sense of self. You may not like piercings and have no plans to get any, which is entirely your choice. You can be uniquely you without a body full of metal but for some of us piercings are just part of who we are.


myLot reputation of 92/100. jewilim (260)   ranked 637 out of 26,796 in people  1 month ago

I think its just like vandalizing our body. Its like our body us just being lent to us by God and i think we must take care of it. Well i guess we all have our own opinions and we are always entitled to our opinions. Thanks for sharing granite_butterfly.:)

I think everybody should have a choice to do what they want with their bodies, I never judge people because they choose to express themselves with piercings.
