>>If you really want it, I'd suggest you try it and see how visible it is. Done properly it won't affect your speech, either.<<
The problem is that out here, tongue piercing costs about 60+ bucks, depending on where you go. If i end up having to take it out, then i'm out that money, and as a poor college student, i can't take that chance now. Of course, now is the time to do it... when i don't have a job. But now is when i don't have the money... vicious circle.
>>and the healing went without a snag<<
Well, then you caught it on your jeans less than i did!!
>>Are there any photos of your lovely navel project?<<
I took some over break, but they're on my sister's camera. Plus, my navel looks bad because it got really irritated. I had some finals, and i used a band-aid to tape my ring down to the one side so it wouldn't rub on my jeans and distract me while i was taking my finals. I had a reaction to the band-aid, and i had red itchy marks all around it. I'll get robbie to take some of mine now that i've got the barbell in it. As soon as i get the film developed and scanned, i'll let you know.
>>Without a taper? I bow to you, girl --- piercing studs are smaller than 16 gauge ... more like 18 or even 20. :-)<<
*You* bow to *me*?!?! Are you kidding me?!! You're the one with your nipples pierced!!
Anyway, it really is a pretty thick piercing stud. The one i originally had it done with was probably an 18 or 20, but it hurt like hell and never wanted to heal, so i started using one of my sister's studs, which was larger. I could tell it was larger, because it was a bit of work to get it in. Improvement, but it still wouldn't heal right. So, i decided to put the ring in, since i wasn't using it. Less than a week after i put the ring in, it feels wonderful. And like i said, it went through pretty easy.
As for more with my ears, i was considering a tragus cuz i love how they look, but i don't have much to pierce there so i doubt it'd work.
But here's two i like:
Beware, this picture is HUGE. But i'd like a rook like this, and i think my ear shape would work with it. http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/01-ear/980715/high/rookbar.jpg
I almost got an inner conch like this one -- http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/01-ear/991111/high/conch1-1.jpg -- but i decided on the second navel one instead. I'd probably do this one.
I'm not worried about hiding ear piercings. They're very popular out here, i see a tragus nearly every day on campus, and i've even seen a couple daiths. People out here seem to find nothing wrong with piercing your ear, but the second you pierce anything else, you're 'weird.' Oh well. I like it. :)
