Which would you have if you fancied getting one?

I'm full of holes from old piercings, now just single earlobes. The one I would get repierced again is clitoral hood.

idontlikealdi · 26/01/2024 19:00

I've got five in my left ear and only single lobe in the right, would love a couple more but I sleep on my right side and think it would be uncomfortable.

Had belly button when I was young but it wouldn't be a good look now, I'd have to help them find it to pierce it in the fat belly!

I would like a nose piercing but for many reasons I won't .

I am going to have a tragus soon.

Would like a vch but not sure to go to get it

If it wouldn't fuck my teeth up even more than they already are, it would have to be a labret with a hoop around the lip. I've put on a fake one a few times and it looks amazing 😁

I'm also eyeing up a snakebite for my ear, probably on the upper lobe.

CornishPorsche · 26/01/2024 19:14

@NotmySundaybest highly recommend a VCH. Not painful to have done interestingly enough and healed in 2 days here!

NotmySundaybest · 26/01/2024 19:16

I don't see many piercing shops that do a vch anymore

I had my nipples pierced just before Christmas as a gift to myself! Life is too short!

I have the wrong shape nose -a piercing just wouldn't suit me , though when I was a teenager I stuck tiny diamante crystals on with eyelash glue Grin on a night out
And I'm bound to knock it or absent mindedly scratch my nose . I also rip my mask off like Dr Kildare ! Ouch .

I have lobe piercings , a daith and a forward helix . They do get knocked at times but generally ok

hby9628 · 26/01/2024 20:37

@idontlikealdi I got a cartelige piercing on the side I sleep on and the piercer put in a flat back earring. Game changer.
Also I made sure the bar on the earring was quite long (not so long that it looks odd but not so tight that it's hard for it to move) and it's healed really well and is very comfortable

Lovelydovey · 26/01/2024 20:42

I've got a single ear lobe piercing and a nose piercing that I wear every day. Tempted to get more piercings in my ears but haven't quite got round to it yet....

Did you just get bored of them?

VikingLady · 26/01/2024 21:24

Vch never healed. I gave up after a year when it was still sore.

Oddly, because navel, ear lobes and daith (ear cartilage) all healed very quickly and cleanly.

WhenWereYouUnderMe · 26/01/2024 21:26

I'll probably get a second set or lobe piercings. I'd like my eyebrow pierced but I know so many people where it hasn't taken particularly well.

upanddowns · 26/01/2024 21:28

I'd love another piercing. Currently got just earrings and a nose stud. I did have my ears pierced again, but had them done at Claires and they wouldn't heal properly, so took the earrings out. I just don't know what I want pierced now. I'm in my fifties but who cares?!

trakehner · 26/01/2024 21:28

I've just had my nose pierced at the grand old age of very nearly 50. It only took me 35 years to finally give up worrying about what other people may think Grin. I absolutely love it!!!

This is so cool!
I am sooo tempted to get this done. I've wimped out for weeks

In the last year I've got a nose piercing, conch and upper lobe. Late 40s. The older I get the more I realise life's too short for procrastination or worrying about what other people think!

katseyes7 · 26/01/2024 22:07

I've got all the ones l want - three in each earlobe, and a navel piercing.
My friend's mum got her nose pierced last year (she's 75!) but lost the jewellery and it closed up. She's wanting it done again, though. Good on her!

PosyPrettyToes · 26/01/2024 22:50

I have 2 in one lobe and 3 in the other, and I got my nose pierced a few years ago when I was nearly 40.

I’ve had helix piercings a few times but they’ve never healed properly and my daith rejected and I had to take it out, am planning to repierce when I get the chance.

I would like a forward helix too.

WhenWereYouUnderMe · 26/01/2024 23:21

I got my nose pierced last year ago 43 and can't imagine ever looking like me again without it.

Paw2024 · 26/01/2024 23:24

Really tempted to have my nose done. I don't heal piercings well though (fine with tattoos)

Ones I've kept - 6 ear piercings, nipples, belly button
Ones I couldn't heal - 2 lip piercings, VCH, rook

My daith piercing healed slowly but uneventfully

My forward helix is a little git !
At least twice there's been pus which I've cleared with warm salted water .
And twice it has swollen so much I coldn't feel the back (no pus though) .At the most inconvenient times of course . It settles down but it's not an easy healer .

PeggySooo · 27/01/2024 01:21

I'm trying to decide between labret and vertical labret atm. I have my nose and helix done atm.
I used to have more when I was younger but removed them.
