Edited by: Micheal Dietrich on 30/08/2007 17:39:31 Get a professional. $50 is alot cheaper than $200 medical bill.
If you must though, gauze, and dissinfectant.

I just read in the paper a few days ago that 30-40% of all those getting a tongue or lip piercing develop problems with their teeth. The gums retract slightly, exposing more of the teeth, which can then cause all kinds of problems, so keep that in mind as well

I used to have snakebites during my scene kid days. After a while they start to damage your teeth and it's hell to eat with.
If you have to do it please please get it done at a piercer's/tattoo parlour.

Edited by: Imperator Jora''h on 31/08/2007 00:01:01 Why?
I mean this seriously. Why?
I am by no means a prude. I've done the whole sex, drugs and rock & roll scene to a degree I really shouldn't admit to.
But I never got the whole piercing thing. Womens ears fine although can be taken too far. Men's ears...meh...no great shakes but whatever. As for other parts of the body...just why?
It is decidedly unattractive most other places. Particularly in the lip because it is unavoidable to look at or deal with. Ever try to kiss someone with a lip piercing? Tongue piercings are supposed to enhance sex but again it gets in the way far more than it helps. There are so many ways to pleasure your partner during sex a crutch like a tongue piercing is wholly unneeded.
Further I have had friends who pierced this or that and mostly they found it painful and more than half had infection issues (and these are clean people who had it done professionally) and one even had a visit to the hospital for a belly button piercing gone bad (she was in for a week). Those who kept them awhile eventually gave them up for various reasons and not a single one ever wishes they had it back. Not one.
For my friends who did this a common answer when I asked, "Why?" was, "I am not going to be a conformist to society" (or something along those lines). They never appreciated it when I pointed out they were conforming all right...just to a group that says it likes to be non-conformist (the irony is amazing really).
So again why? It will cost you money. It will cause you pain. It may cause medical problems. It is not attractive. It is something almost everyone regrets doing eventually.
Why?
P.S. Of course you are free to do your own thing as you wish. I'm the last person who would force someone to do as I saw fit. I may try to persuade but after that what they do is their own lookout.

I think know what you mean. So I'll try to give you some insight that may or may not be useful.
But people do all sorts of silly things in the name of fun and enjoyment, or even just to 'fit in'. I myself spend a large share of my money on smokes and booze and various other things that aren't great for my health. It's nice to have boundaries and received wisdom to comfortably kick against. Thing is, I understand that sometimes the things that I do aren't good for me, but I do them anyway. For me, it's part and parcel of the learning process, and growing up (I'm 21 going-on 16), and essentially, living.
In a nutshell, mistakes are a result of doing things. I personally would rather make those mistakes and learn from them, than to have never have made them and wish I had.
I'm not the OP, but maybe the OP feels the same way...or not, maybe they just like the way piercings look. But that's my stock response to people who ask me why I do things that are clearly a bad idea. |

Eh? Snakebites are what you call it when you have both sides of your bottom lip pierced.

I hear you.
I smoke cigarettes. I drink alcohol (probably more than I should). I have done a variety of other things, most illegal where I live, that I won't list here.
But all were/are enjoyable. None involved physical pain (barring hangovers...and yeah a few of them are hell but they go away).
Again I am all for doing your own thing. I certainly do not need to understand. It's your life, knock yourself out.
Just in this case I have never met anyone who is happy they did this. My party days are not something I am proud or will brag about but I do not regret a moment (well...there was one bender with a hangover to end all hangovers I could have done without but whatever).
The difference I think is this is something others have to deal with too. I have to look at you ("you" in the general sense). I may want to kiss you (if you are a beautiful woman). Faced with crap sticking out of your face though it is a whole other story. If you smoke you can put out the cigarette and chew some gum. If you drink put the drink down. If you are wasted you can come back to my place.
But poking holes in yourself? I just do not get it.

Couldn't you guys just type one liners like the rest of us?
I tattoed my entire right shoulder when I was younger although I tried to be smart about it. It's basically tribal's with Love and pain Symbols in the middle. No flaming skulls, no naked women, no names of now ex-girlfriends. Plus I can cover it up with a shirt and still look professional at work.
Even now everytime my I wear a tank top around my dad he always asks me if I regret what I did and each time I say no. As for holes in my body though, I've got enough already. Plus their a nuisance at metal detectors.

Tattoos are not as bad in my view. More the issue there is like any art it is very subjective. Some will love it, some not so much. But some is definitely just juvenile (e.g. flaming skulls).
I did actually date a woman for a short while who had an old boyfriend's name tattooed on her shoulder blade. Needless to say it was not something I was thrilled to look at when we got busy.

Edited by: Saya Hime on 31/08/2007 01:23:23 Piercing is totally reversible assuming you do not pierce through cartilage and muscle and/or you do not wear that tribal inspired 1 inch wide jewelry. Used to have one like this. Few years laters you hardly notice the two little scares remaining. But I agree that tongue or lip piercing is damaging for teeth.

Traditionally piercing was something for the S/M crew where the submissives pierced themselves, are you submissive?

It's supposed to hurt at the wrists, ankles, top of your feet, by the collar bone, and near the spinal cord. Basically areas where the skin is thin. In my case I learned that we have quite a large bundle of nerves in our armpits (of all places) so the 2 places I even felt anything was my tribal armband that cut off the tat at the arm and my chinese dragon on the back of my shoulder (the Golden eagle up front was ok.
Unfortunatly the dragon lost alot of ink during the scabbing so I gotta get it fixed one of these days.
Personally the pain wasn't bad for me because 1) My artist is awesome at tattooing and knows how to cause little pain and 2) I put my mind somewhere else while they do it.
I did know a friend who had his girlfriends name tattooed on his shoulder and of course they broke up. He took it one step further though and touched up the tattoo with a circle and line 'anti' symbol. Atleast he had a sense of humor about a mistake.

Hehe. I like hangovers in a kind of perverse way. I think of them as mementos of the night before, and also in a way as a kind of penance or retribution. You can't get away with everything.

I hear you too. Apologies if my earlier post seemed little patronising, it was unintentional. I myself wouldn't want to kiss a girl with a piercing per se, but I'd definitely give it a shot once if it was out there.

I'm a touch on the hyperactive / ADD side. I always have to be doing SOMETHING or I can't think straight. I got my tongue pierced because I used to chew on things, quite a few of which had no business being in my mouth. So instead of tapping my fingers, tapping my toes, fiddling with objects, chewing on pens, etc, I can play with my tongue ring. Nobody notices, so no one is bothered.
My boss asked me to take it out once. After several hours of me fidgeting, she told me to put the damn thing back in and never take it out.

well, i just tried it. used a safety pin, got it through my bottom lip, took it out, tried to get the ring in..... righ wnt through the outside of my lip easily but i couldent get it through the other side, i pushed pretty hard.. the hole was too small for the ring
btw no pain or blood at all, doesnt even hurt now after like 4 hours. going to wait a couple weeks for this to heal and then do it with a 16 gauge hollow needle (piercing needle) ___________________________________________

Doing things yourself often leads to them being done crooked or just placed wrong. This is why we have other people cut our hair, examine our wounds, and pierce our bodies. There is no reasonable excuse for you to self pierce. Its all an attention grab, the whole "yeah, I did all this myself" to make you sound tough with the ladies. Make sure to tell them you did it with an unsterilized cloths pin and used an unsterilized piece of jewelry.
Lockjaw ftw.
