yeah it actually looked really good! it was like a stud earring but it had silver danglies off it. she has had her tragus pierced for 5 years though so i guess it is well and truly healed.
i wanted mine pierced but then i remembered how much i suck at cartilage piercings!

my belly button got a bit infected :( i have to take antibiotics for it. i want to take it out.
personally i'd tell you to leave it in (only caus i love mine lol)..but if it doesnt heal soon it'd probably be a good idea if you take it out. talk to your piercer, see what they suggest. scarring isnt the best look

I decided a week before and got it, i was excited until i sat into "the chair" lol, i wouldnt open my mouth because i was so scared ! but seriously, it doesn't hurt, biting your tongue accidently generates more pain than this :)
but your tongue will be swollen to twice it's size for a week ..

Tongue is the least painful piercing.

If you put ice on it for about five hours, slurpees, ice cubes, ice blocks etc then it won't swell that much.

Here it is! Keep in mind it's brand new, so will look better once it's healed:

It hurt! It was totally bearable though. For anyone wondering what it's like, it's a very SHARP pain, but you can definitely breathe through it fine. It only took like 5 minutes, too!

For those who have tattoos:

My tattoo looks pretty good (as in healthy), and I'm keeping it moist with bepanthen, but the tattoo is raised and looks a little lumpy. Is this okay/normal?

yeah its just irritation. It might scab up (or thats what the lumps are) but as long as you dont pick at it, it will be fine!

lol umphs 48 piercings ? wow i dont even want to start thinking about the places ...

yups, the lumpy is totally normal, it'll scab up. just keep using the bepathem cream, it'll itch but dont scatch like mentioned previously. I accidently scratched mine and it bled, and you can kind of tell if you look heaps closely.
