I've always had a thing for wierd peircings. Maybe I'll grow out of it. I wish I could get something peirced other than the too-common ear peircings (and that's the only part of my ear I'm allowed to get pierced). I would like my bellybutton peirced, and maybe my tounge. My ears peirced again wouldn't hurt either...but my parents won't let me. My dad was going to, but the my mom went and opened her mouth. "No, she'll get the wrong kind of attention."
Wrong attention my ass. *pouts* Ah well. I'll get over it.

I just have my normal ear piercings.... I really want my bellybutton pierced as well, for anyone that's had it done, How much does it hurt?? I need to lose a bit of weight first, but I really want it done by the end of the summer... Has anyone heard of emla?? Well, it's this numbing stuff you use for needles... I was thinking I could use that on my bellybutton, would that help lessen the pain??

If you get it done professionally (promise me you will?), the actual needle going through isn't very painful, at least in terms of duration. I mean, it hurts going through, but it's done before you know it, and topical numbing stuff isn't going to do you any good (and might end up contributing to infection/rejection). It will be sore for a while, especially when you bump it, but that's about it.
I've had at one time or another nine earrings, my tongue, my belly button, and my clit hood pierced. I've stopped wearing everything but the bottom earrings, the tongue and the clit hood rings.

Yeah, I will get it done professionally. How long does it take for it to be over, and how do they do it?? I don't want like a barbell or anything, just a normal ring. And why won't the numbing stuff do me any good? It works for needles, and it's anti-infection.

The peircing takes a fraction of a second. It's kind of like getting pinched. The numbing stuff probably wouldn't work because it doesn't have time to take effect (since the pain is coming from having the needle pushed *through* the layers of skin).
The process works something like this: You pick out your jewlery, they sterilize it for you (it goes through something called an autoclave, like at the dentists). then you lie down, or sit down leaning back. They hike your shirt up out of the way, swab the area with disinfectant. Then they figure out where the holes should be and make some dots with a special pen. At this point they'll probably clamp the skin fold (this is, for most people, more uncomfortable than the needle stick). Once everything's lined up, the needle goes through (I'd recommend telling them not to count down for you... but that's a personal preferance). The needle is hollow (so it actually takes out a chunk of flesh on the way through to make room for the ring), and they stick the jewlery in the top, and pull the needle+jewlery combo through until the jewlery's in. After that there's a couple seconds of fiddling while they get the jewlery closed, but that's it.
The painful part that's bothersome is mostly after that while it's still sore, especially before you learn not to bump it. Wear low-riding jeans when you go to get the piercing.
Care is mostly washing it with antibacterial soap once or twice a day in the shower (they'll give you a bunch of instructions). I know a bunch of people who swear by salt-soaks, but I've never tried it. For that you just soak it with salt water (mix your own from sea salts, not table salt) a couple times a day. Since it's your belly-button, you probably want to go the route of filling a shot glass with salt water, and tipping it over top.

I think it'd be cool to get my nose pierced, not with a ring but a little stud or whatever. But I'd have to be under some influence to have to guts to go and get it done. Lol.

I've seen some one get their bellybutton peirced and its not that bad...I guess its just your pain tollerance. But ofcoarse if it was on me it'd be a lil differant. I used to want my bellybutton peirced but then I found out that sometimes when your pregnant that the hole stretches and its not to pretty....so I decided to take it back..but ya never know...o well

I don't have anything pierced (not even my ears) and I don't want anything pierced. I personally don't see what's so attractive about having pieces of metal shoved through your skin, but that's just me I guess.

I don't have my ears pierced either. I don't see the point of any piercings. It's just another jewelry expense, something else to lose and search around on the carpet for, an infection... I'm happy with the holes I was born with, thank you.
