So I am gauging my ears. I don't know what size I want yet. I am at 10G and I have tappers and plugs for 6G so I am definitely get there at least. :lol:

I also within the next few days am getting my lip done too :) If I have enough money I am going to get both sides done. :)

I want to get my eyebrows done (yes both ;) ).

When my mum goes and gets her belly button done, I am getting my tongue done :)

Then eventually my belly button :)

I also want to get my nose done :lol:

And more of my ears :P

Yeah I am going to have to make sure that I buy plastic things to put in my face when I go to the airport or whatever xD

Anyone else getting, or wanting to get any piercings?

Not me, Hon!

I've had one ear (left) pierced for 38 years!

I finally got my right one pierced on New Years Day 2009 so that I have a matched pair!

And, I don't worry about the airport...I have two stainless steel hips that I can't take off and put in the tray!

I'll just deal with it when the time comes!

Plenty of room for 22. None are dirty and only 4 on my ears. Two guaged lobes and industrials. I also have an anti-eyebrow, reverse anti-eyebrow on both sides, labret, and a couple more unusual ones. :-) Piercings are like tattoos, addicting as heck!

Kewel - but but but - be careful with the tongue! There is a lot of bacteria in the mouth - so watch for infections until it heals.

Yeah, much like tattoos, they're like Lays Potato Chips. You can't have just one! :D I jut added a second pair to my ears. The first are at 6g, although I've been shrinking them back down. I want them back at 10g. I just don't need the big holes anymore. I used to have my nipples pierced, but it never quite took, so I let them close.

My earlobes are 10s right now and I'm only taking them to an 8. I would leave them at ten but I found the cutest pink earings :-) I call all body jewelery earings...dunno y lol.

Did you stretch them?

And how big does the 6G look?

I had them at 4g (stretched from an original 12g). Now I wear 6g plugs made of amber (hardened tree sap). They don't look too big, maybe the size of the "o" on your keyboard.

I think that I want to get to a 00. If possible. I went from the size that when you get them pierced to a 14G to a 10G. I have 10G tappers in and they hurttttttttttttttttttttttt. :( I can't take them out because I don't have any plugs and I am stretching them because I was told that that's the only way to get them to close if you want... Like if you punch them then they can shrink back to the size you got them punched at but not close =/

Does the amber hurt it?

Oh, not at all. It's just a cool material that's pretty to look at and occasionally, if I am backlit properly, they glow a little. Plus, it's really light. I barely feel them there.

I already have all the holes in my body that I can safely manage! :o

22 piercings Chelsey!! I am a major klutz and if I even had half that number would find myself attached to unwanted things every time I moved. :blink:

You can't imagine how many times I've managed to run afoul of things with just 2 earrings. :P

I mean just picture all the things tat come near your mouth -with a lip piercing I'd have to give up kissing my g'daughter on the head-or the dog-gross I know but it's how I am-not to mention the cat..Picturing an increasingly annoyed cat attached to my mouth. Oh no, no, never!!

Peirce-a-holic! XD

I want a spider bite and an Industrial. Plus, a couple tattoos. Space invaders are going to go on left wrist. 'Vicious' is going to go on my right wrist.

Kinda tempted to get a 'corset' piercing too.

22, wow. Lots of money went into those I bet. XD

How much does the belly button area piercing cost (not including the jewelry)? I hear some have a bit of trouble with it chafing. I can get way with it, I think, because a lot of what I wear is low-rise.

Caution! We are not encouraging those underage here! This is an exchange of information. EVERYONE is advised to investigate the dangers of piercing and tattoos. If you are underage, you must have the supervision of your parent(s) or guardian. Danger of infection - especially in "dirty areas' is a possibility.

Hahah, now I have to quote the man. XD

“I'm not vicious really. I consider myself to be kindhearted. I love my mum.”

And heyyyy, I'm rough and tough and all that stuff! *winky face*

best way i have found for stretching any piercing is teflon or pvc tape as i've used it to go up an 1"1/2 in lobes and 3mm septum middle bit of your nose, also with everyone shareing what they have had done i've got my eyebrow twice 2 spiderbites my nostrils done twice , so thats 11 just on my face

Indeed! The first thing is DO NOT get pierced at the mall. Find a professional piercing studio. Pay the extra money and get it done right. When they give you an aftercare sheet, read it. Follow it.

As far as tattoos go, if you are not over 18, don't get one. Wait. Trust me, you are going to have this on you for the rest of your life. Spend some time and think on the decision and when you can go in legally to a professional studio, do it knowing the consequences. Oh, and a cheap tattoo is just about never a good one.

I must agree they are addictive, I have 17. Most in my head but got nipples and one naughty one done too. When you gauge them just take your time. Don't rush them, let them heal between stretches. If the hurt it is too soon, go back to previous size for another week. There is a couple of websites that sell "earings" that have good info on to they are piercingpleasures.com and bodyartforms.com.

My only concern now that I have piercings already is will having the genital piercing be a problem for srs/grs. I have a appadravia so I am a little concerned.

Anyway, enjoy your piercings.

Wow, piercings! Now, this is a subject I can relate too!!!

OK, well first off, I 'd like to recommend that you don't go bigger that 6g. If you do, then no bigger than 4g. I've got all kinds of friends that had 0g and bigger and their ears are messed up today. They will never have a normal ear lobe again. And as far as with myself... I dont' recall if my biggest plugs were 6g or 4g, but it was one of the two. Luckily, I am able to get by with many earrings, but not all. If I wear no earrings, I do fine, but certain kinds of earrings just don't look right in my ears now(causes my hole to look like a slit)

Oh, and as far as the plastic things go (i.e. retainers), you need to know that you CAN'T wear those when you first get something pierced. Plastic is riddled with tons of nearly-microscopic holes, which hold air... Now I don't know why, but they say that that's bad for new piercings. Somehow, it causes infections.

And unless you work at an airport, you won't need to wear retainers to go. You can pass through metal detectors using standard piercing jewelry. Trust me ;) JUST WATCH IT IF YOU WEAR A STUDDED BELT AND METAL WALLET CHAIN (I will never do that again!)

And as for your last question... kind of. I used to have my umm... member... pierced. And I just removed those. Actually, I don't wear any piercings currently, except for my regular girl earrings (I've got all kinds of holes in my ears). I DO, however, plan to get my nipples and my belly button pierced once I start HRT. I also might do my nose...

HUGGS AND KISSES

:o :o :o :o :o 22!!!!!!!!!!!! :o Is there even roooom for 22?????????

lol. yes. I used to have around 16 in my ears alone. i've had 2 piercings in my lips 2 diff times. I've had my nose done and my eyebrow... and I had 4 piercings in my you know what...

Oh, and I had planned on adding like 4 more piercings to each ear, doing my other eyebrow, doing my nipples, and adding 3 more to my you know what.

So, ya, there is EASILY room for 22.

I think a belly button piercing should cost between 30 and 40. that's a guess, but i know it's going to be somewhere in that range. Or you can just do like I did and go buy a needle yourself! (CAUTION! DON'T EVER DO WHAT I DID!)

      lol Now logarithmic is a word I haven’t heard since I was in High School in the mid 60s. @Mirrabooka.  We used to use logarithms to be able to do higher level math.  Of course this was before calculators,  we also used slide rules.  The first personal calculators that were capable of more than more than simple math cost hundreds of dollars.  And only came out in the mid 70s.   Today you carry a very capable computer in your pocket or even on your wrist.

      Welcome to this community, @BLACKSPARKLES. Despite the loss you've experienced, it sounds like you've also made a lot of progress. Do you desire community in real life? If so, there are measures you can take and investigation you can do. Breaking out of a solitary existence can be very intimidating and nerve-wracking, but extremely rewarding beyond imagination. You did not share details of your health challenges, but presuming you have much life yet to live, just consider that it's never ever too late to start living in a different way. That is, if it's your desire. Please forgive me for any presumption. Much love.

      On a side note.  Since i've had some issues with the undies I decided to keep a bra on to be atleast expressive until I can resolve the problem.  I've learned I love wearing a bra and will def incorporate this into my attire (I present as male).  Thanks all again for the wonderful suggestions!!!

      No. I am not at peace. I am going through an awful emotional season at this part of my transition.    I am so grateful to have a therapist to talk to.    I am SO very grateful for you all and this space. Especially at this time.    Thank you.    -Timi
    • Stacie.H
      Hey Hey!!!!! Everyone!!!     What an exhilarating year thus far...!!   Its Goin Good for me just anticipation as I open up more through this Transitioning process is Scary, Fun, Exciting, Unknown, Accomplished, and well Wanted more than I ever could have thought at this point into HRT....   I hope this year for you is your best to!  Its bare minimum exciting every day and my drive as Stacie has picked up pace interestingly!!!! I came out first to my two sisters right before the new year started. It was actually right after Christmas 2023. I didn't plan when and how to come out to someone I was close to, I opened up and told them, and it just happened...  My emotions got the best of me and well, I spilled the beans as they say.    I told another sister of mine shortly thereafter but she was already asking questions. And the 3 Sisters that know what I am doing support me 100% There are things I heard other Trans people describe in their process of HRT that I didn't get at the time but now I know where they were coming from, and HRT is literally more life changing than I ever realized........And It's AWESOME!!   But I do think as Transition takes place it does affect others around you not only family but especially in the workplace and that is challenging in itself to address and how to take care of that kind of observational awareness so to speak.   Although at this point now my job I do believe knows or suspects something is up like they may be thinking I'm transgender, I have my evaluation with them coming up and I'm somewhat worried that they're going to ask me, which is fine but will hit me like a ton of bricks or I may need to tell them at this point if they don't plan to ask me. Which is not necessarily something I want to do just yet. I hope it doesn't cost me my job. But I am getting to a point that being one person at work and another outside of it is getting harder to do and mentally draining me... Not to mention I don't want to be this male type of person I was before as it was killing me.    I mean my hair is getting very long, It was short and spiked I should say when I first became employed here my current job, and recently I left for a short trip in the first week of May and had such a blast and a wonderful time with family, But I came back with my hair dyed some makeup on and my face looking Fleek!!,,, and sporting my girl styled sunglasses coming into work because it was so difficult to go back to who the staff has known me as, that's how far I have come in such a year that I literally don't feel like this male person I was before and I do believe it shows? The past couple weeks it has been sort of different in the building to. I mean not that it's a bad thing just seems different around my boss and other staff. Hopefully I am just over thinking it..   I have observed for months now how the staff moves around me and even caught some conversation pieces that were about me being possibly Transgendered... Although I can only assume though and Assume I will, I do care and love my job, And I care about those around me, and I just want to be O.K.  The way I want to live my life seems right to me and that's just how I'm going to do it. And I have to do it as Stacie, Period! I get all praise from my co-workers and that there so grateful to have me apart of this team so I guess I shouldn't worry.    But I have been operating as Stacie more mentally with this outer male type of disguise as I have seen it looking back and that kind of scares me. They don't know that person from the inside to the outside yet. How is that going to go over when I start to dress like I want to and fully embrace myself at work finally and just let it all out, you know what I mean??   I know I am still coming out, outwardly and with who I am and have been on the inside sense I was little, and its like an integration re-learning some things again, and aligning my mind set with my altered Biology as much as I can, and it is staying completely stable for once in my life.   Maybe coming out will always be just that, Coming out over and over again. Though I am sure I will get to a point where it's just my way of life no biggie, Like, Hi I'm Stacie how are you etc., Observe from time to time how life was before I transitioned etc...  I know I'll get there, somewhere eventually. But coming out in a workplace which is my livelihood is a little scary to say the least. Thats a Big step IMO. But here I go and No matter what happens I'm all in!! I mean I am a lot more open than I will give myself credit for, I just hope I don't make people feel awkward, But I can't control others' emotions or views, So I'll keep doing just me!!   Anyways I could go on and talk for hours on how almost half the year has been and what I did but it would be a novel... I plan to share more of my experience with you though. Like post more testimonial, my life's journey etc.   I do Love though to read your Lifes journeys more.    In the meantime, all the Best in your Life Adventure, go out and enjoy it, who cares what anyone else has to say about it, I've actually been surprised at the response I have gotten going out in public fully presenting as Stacie H.   Don't let the world bring you down and be who you are, Remember you're not alone!                                                                                                                                                           Hope to See You Out There!!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           Stacie H.

      Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. These are my go-tos for those times.    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQD51FSH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details   Funny thing is that Reebok mens briefs look more like panties than Reebok women's hipsters (which are also one of my favs. Vanity Fair Body Caress Hi Cuts being my absolute favorites).    -Timi
