Just wondering, who has pierings that they keep from the general public? I have a penal piercing (prince albert) and a tongue piercing, and they both are really cool. A lot of people find it surprising when they find out somehow. The tongue is becoming a lot more accepted, but its a rare soul that understands a pierced dick! My mother would probably die if she found out about them. Oh well, it’s more fun that way. ---

Just the tongue for me. Piercing below the belt isn’t my thing. ---

I have my nose and my lip done, but they’re pretty darn obvious… ---

Something tells me the OP exists merely to say “Look at me! I have a pierced penis!” but just in case you actually are interested, nowadays only my nose is pierced but I did at one point have my eyebrow done and three holes in one ear and four in the other. Fran ---

Well, if we’re talking about ears as well, I have 9 holes in my ears and I’m getting more as soon as I can be bothered, heh. ---

I don’t have my penis pierced for any other reason than it looks cool and it feels very nice. I’ve told probably 5 people specifically about it since I’ve gotten it done. It is something that other people do talk about every now and then and a lot of other people find out. ---

I have the standard hole in each ear lobe. I usually wear earrings in them when I’m dressing up. Then I have an extra one in my left ear which I got done without adult consent when I was 17 years old because I lied my ass off. I’m just so damned proud of that hole in my ear left over from my rebellious years. Anyway, now that I’m a “respectable” grown-up I hardly ever wear an ear ring in that one. Gee, you just put me in the mood though. I’m going to go see what really obnoxious earring I can find to put in there. 🙂 I have no interest in getting anything else pierced. I don’t like that punctured feeling. ---

I have my left nipple pierced. To this day I’m not entirely sure why I did it, but I like that it’s done. I also get a perverse pleasure from the fact that very few people know that I have it done. Most people that know me would be/have been surprised that I have it. I guess that is one of the reasons it’s there. ---

My left nipple. Done on the next to last day of a spring break trip to San Francisco back in '96 as a souvenir. I had it done at the famous “Gauntlet” near the Castro. ---

All I’ve got is a single hoop in my left ear. I want more, but my job prohibits them. And I’m actually not even supposed to have the earring. I was told to remove it and didn’t, and nobody noticed. When I can, I definitely want to get my eyebrow done, and probably a few others. ---

I have two in my left ear, beside each other, and one in my eyebrow. I think that’ll just about do it for me. ---

Both ears pierced, one navel pierced. I’m satisfied. ---

Three holes in my left ear. Two holes in my right ear. Right nipple pierced. Navel pierced. I’m done with the piercings now, though I am considering another tattoo 🙂 ---

2 in each ear… naval pierced… …and in October, when I hit 18 - I’m getting another hole in each earlobe, and and one at the top of one ear. 😃 Can’t wait! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/got-piercings/69441.md?page=2)
