Umm, then just about everyone with one is an idiot.
I got that “obnoxious” piercing just over a year ago and I love it. What’s obnoxious about it? I thought I knew what obnoxious meant…
Fifteen year old MTV junkie? Now who’s outdated? 
I always wished I could get one as I have an awesome stomach, but I’m scared of needles/infections, so all I’ve got done are my ears. Plus I’ve heard the recovery time is a bitch.
You don’t have to go to some grotty tattoo parlor. Some doctors will perform piercings (particularly body piercings) if you ask them nicely.
Or you can find a wonderful piercing store. The place that I got my piercing done at, when you walk in smells like a hospital. They are very serious about cleanliness, (it’s very odd seeing this heavyset guy with stretched ears and several tattoos wearing a face mask and rubber gloves) and were featured on a Discovery channel show a bit ago iirc. He’s supposed to be the best (or one of the best) in Canada.
I’ve been thinking of going back and getting my navel done. Odd how my navel makes me more nervous than… other areas.
But they always have to use needles, right? I just hate needles. Also, is it true that you’re out of commission…down there, for a while? Like, sitting up and so forth is super painful?
Yes, they use needles. I’ve done enough reading about piercings now to know that I was lucky when I got my upper ear (conch) done… with a piercing gun. I’m not a huge fan of needles, but you don’t have to watch when they do it.
As for being unable to sit up? As I haven’t got a navel piercing so I can’t really comment but I’d assume that depends on your clothing somewhat, if it catches on anything… that sort of thing. I doubt sitting up would be super painful.
My piercing is rather… lower actually. And Keith (the piercer) suggested I would be a good candidate for a Christina. Thus the comment on piercing my navel making me more nervous than anywhere else (except perhaps my tongue).
Trust me, we already are.
Yes they always use needles - if someone offers to pierce anything other than your earlobe with a piercing gun then RUN THE FUCK AWAY and don’t look back.
No, you’re not out of commission for ages. I had mine done when was 18, was quite aware that it was there for about a day or so and couldn’t sleep on my front for a few days, but after that it was fine. I’ve had seven piercings done and one a scale of 1 to 10 navel counts as a 2.
I don’t know about how fashionable navel piercings are still, all I know is that regardless of who it is on or how good they look, the only thing I can think is that it seems like they are wearing a fishing lure.
That is all. 
Toe piercings are hawt.
I wouldn’t be able to take a nipple ring seriously because to me they scream ‘doorknocker’. In the unlikely event I had free access to a ringed nipple, I wouldn’t be able to resist rapping it two or three times against the areola and asking if I could come in.
I think that they’re ugly, asymmetrical, and tend to be found on girls who favor clothing with the words “JUICY,” “PRINCESS,” or any other kind of fruit- or royalty-related adjective on them.
You’re probably an exception - but I don’t know. You’re not…juicy…are you? :dubious:
I just can’t get over the picture of agony I have in my mind of taking off a sweater and getting it snagged…I can’t even go on…
I’ve done it - it sucks precisely as much as you would imagine. Maybe a little more.
Repiercing through the scar tissue hurts much less the second time, though. Even with the clamps.
I would do it just to have a way out of the situation but avoid saying, “Hey, it turns out I don’t really want to be getting naked with you after all. Happy hunting, Metallica.”
Knockerknocker?
Whatever you do, don’t watch Airheads.
Had my navel and tongue done at the same time, both were a lot less painful then having my ears done. (one in each, plus a cartilage piercing that I had to take out)
And this thread has made my doper crush on Illuminaprimus deepen even more.
Naw, both fads are already on their way out. In 20 years most dudes will have got theirs removed.
