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.

Lizzy

OH

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.

It all depends on the place that you go to. I know that in places in Colorado you could get them for $10 and it be decent. It all depends where you go :P

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*

I knew you were going to say that!! This is why I did it :P;)

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

Belle

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.

Dang girllll

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

corset=HOT! Like I said, addicting lol. I started in High school with my belly button (worst one ever) and progressed. I have also never paid for a piercing in my life. My best friend is a professional piercer :-) I want to second what Lizzy said. Piercings and tattoos can be very dangerous when not done properly. There are very few legit piercing pagodas in malls. If you go to one. Check them out first. NEVER ever get a piercing from a friend even if they think they know what they are doing. I made this mistake in High school and it ended up turning out just fine but looking back on it we were stupid and I could have really been in trouble. Completely hypocritical saying do as I say not as I do but I made that mistake and many others have made that mistake, some not as lucky as others. I attatched a picture of my favorite piercing. This picture was taken before I got both reverse anti-eyebrows.

Piercings are like tattoos, addicting as heck!

See that's what I'm afraid of... lol I only want a few piercings and I don't wanna go overboard. Same with tattoos. I don't wanna end up with a sleeve on each arm, that's just too much for me. lol. I wanna get "passion and wisdom" in Scots Gaelic tattooed onto my inner arm. Not sure what other tattoos I want but I will probably want more than that, just haven't come up with any good ideas yet :P As for piercings I wanna get my cartilage pierced but that takes long to heal and I've heard it's really painful so I dunno. I also want a few more on my earlobes (I already have both earlobes pierced.)

And yeah that's about it. lol.

i wouldn't be too worried. people that really don't want too many piercings from the get go rarely wind up with a whole lot. especially if you don't hang out with people that have lots of piercings, you're likely to remain pretty conservative with it.

it's only addictive if you're really into it.

So I had went from a 14G to a 10G right... Well they are infected now. Great! They were hurting me and my left one was hurting real bad. So I tried to take out. When I put my fingers in the back to get the tapper out, I felt a wetness. :( It was bleeding. :( I got them out right away. It took me a long time. They were very very sore! :( I now have the 14G rings that I had in before because a Facebook friend told me to keep something in because it's bad to let them close with an infection. He's a professional piercer, so I felt comfortable listening to him so I put the 14G back in. The holes around it are *very* tight and small. When I move my head it hurts. :( Poor ears :( They are so nasty. I am cleaning them with peroxide because that is all we have. We don't have any neosporin or anything like that so this is all I get. :( I never should have skipped G's but I did so I have to be very very careful and wait it out for awhile.

Note: Let this be a LESSON to all of you!! Take care of piercings. TALK TO SOMEONE that knows what they are doing. Like a professional!! I am in a LOT of pain from my ears right now. Also, if you are using tappers, DO NOT WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME! They are not meant to be used as plugs, only to stretch the holes. CLEAN the piercings. Do NOT let your piercings get infected!! It's *VERY* painful and dangerous!! Please be careful with piercings!!!

Thank you

You really need to get some sea salt and let them soak for a bit. If you can, get some H2Ocean and start spraying your ears 6-8 times a day.

I don't have any money for that stuff :( I was told that peroxide would work just fine for now. I just got done doing that not too long. They look like crap.

I am so sorry about your infections but you can get by with peroxide as a disinfectant but the sea salt will be very good for it and not dry it as much.

It is not expensive you can buy it in any grocery store.

Love ya,

Sally

you can use tea tree oil to help clean the piercing if you can't get hold of any peroxide

also i can't stress this enough when stretching please use a lot of water based lube like ky jelly or astroglide it helps not to get a blow out

You are not the first to suggest KY Jelly :P

Yeah I have to remember that for next time. I am going to wait for at least a month or two before attempting it. I need to get a 12G before even attempting anything too.

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!

What is an anti-eyebrow and a reverse anti-eyebrow?

Guest 91curiouskitten

Speaking as someone with 22 piercings, they wont set off metal detectors at airports lol. I promise. But if your paranoid you could always buy retainers in bulk :-)

....ow o.o, where??? Where did you even find room!

Southern Belle since you know alot about piercings I will just let you know that I had 2 frenals and 2 PA's. I would not suggest that anyone get a PA. The only bright side for me is if and when I have SRS it will take away what I have done there.

This is to everyone else that is thinking about piercings or tats, just make sure you can live with the holes as some dont heal up ever or a tat for the rest of your life. I have piercing regret that I wish I never did. I probably could be called a pin cushin for the amount of times I have been pierced. I only wear earrings now but want my belly button done again. I had to take that one out because of a previous job. Lizzy and anyone else that wants their belly button, I will warn you that if you have a job that does a lot of lifting or carrying boxes around your belly area that it is not going to be that comfortable and could make it take forever to heal properly. That is why I had to take mine out because it would never heal properly after 6 months of keeping it in. I would continually hit it with a box or something else.

      The numbers were not impressive really considering the magnitude of our largest counties.  The article does not say how many signatures were collected in the right areas or if the signatures were verified by the county ROV's.  The story is meant to be impressive and may sound that way to people in less populated political areas, but I am glad to say it turned out pretty weak.

      Hi @Arushi, welcome to TransPulse and thanks for sharing. Your story sounds familiar to me in some ways: I used to go out dressed femme exclusively at night and received a lot of attention from guys. Back then I had no interest in them, mainly since their attention so often resembled sexual harassment. But that was 12 years ago and a lot has changed. Now I am exclusively into guys, and proudly trans.    You ask are you wrong to crossdress; I would say absolutely not. It sounds as if this urge comes from a place deep within you, and I doubt you could suppress it for long if you tried. You also describe no harms that have resulted from your crossdressing. But maybe the real question is how do you feel about it? Leaving aside the societal stigma that can surround crossdressing, do you feel there is anything wrong with your behaviour? And lastly, does your wife know? If not, then that may be a problem. But if so, then imo the problem is in not being open with your wife, not in crossdressing. Crossdressing is a morally neutral act.

      I am opening up for the first time to someone other than myself. A bit about me; I am an Asian Indian male, 45 , married and dad, working professional from Portland. I have very mixed body features. I don’t have much hair on me and I wax so have a smooth body all over, light wheatish skin color, nicely done eyebrows and definitely size B manboobs, 6’2” tall and slightly curvy body, so I look like a tall woman when I am all dressed up. Growing Up; At a very young age , I got very intrigued with Wigs and Bra’s. I used to try on Bra’s starting age 14 and stuffed them up with socks. I used to roam wearing panties , and gown , usually taken off my dryers from my neighbors laundry. I remember this one weekend , I was all by myself and tried makeup for the first time and did my best , let’s just say it wasn’t bad for my first time. That was my best weekend being in woman clothing’s all day long around the house.  As I moved out of the house for college , I started freely and frequently cross dress, I bought my own silicone breasts , bra’s , panties  and dresses. I used to go to thrift stores and Ross, pick up the best in the lot, 44DD size and go into changing room and try them on with my Silicone boobs. I used to look for slightly worn panties , to make me feel I have been wearing them for ages. I got some cheap makeup, eyeliner, lipstick, foundation and the whole Shabang and 4-5 beautiful wigs. I had a closet full of items . Every Sunday, I would spend 3 hours dressing up , and sneaking out in public in my best woman attire, I used to get compliments all the time, many guys even approached me , I was flattered but never felt aroused for guys. Only when woman would stare , I would get a bulge .  Today: I still have a collection of cross dressing items and really good stuff from Sephora. I still cross dress and roam around in the streets of SF during my work travels (when I am off work) , you may run into me on one of my work trips. My wife and kids go on trips to visit my in laws for a month in summer, that’s when I am always dressed like a woman all around, with nail polish done too. I so feel in my element dressed as a woman. Sexual preference: I am into Woman, dominating woman that would control me, dress me up and take me on a girls night out. Make out with me in ladies room . Am I wrong in doing so? Should suppress my desires to cross dress?

      Yesterday I appeared on Brisbane community radio station 4ZZZ discussing the Cass Review, the recent NHS-sponsored review of gender-affirming care for kids in the UK. This is a seismic event for trans kids and their families worldwide, or as I said yesterday, “a world-class piece of anti-trans propaganda”. I have researched this solidly for the past month and will have waaaay more to say on the topic, but for now I hope you’ll listen to this quick overview. The episode is available to stream as a podcast via Spotify and Apple Podcasts.   Trigger warnings: transphobic healthcare, sexualisation of children (touched on briefly, but it is upsetting).   My heart goes out to trans kids and their families in the UK and anywhere else these policies are being enacted.   https://open.spotify.com/episode/3LAHs3VZB8zuGWGt41rzaL?si=BRUHUvz3QmWr5cyCEYyB0Q&context=spotify%3Ashow%3A3Jay63nMJ67bBMI9M59tKe

      No, though I am generally happy with my life. Transitioning later in life has left me in a position where I don't pass, and it sometimes confuses people, which makes me sad. I am able to live quite normally due to a supportive community, but I neither chose nor wanted to be trans, so I do hold a level of conflict with it. Early in my transition, my psychologist told me I needed to come to terms with my new role (but she had no advice how to do this) or I wouldn't find peace, and I doubt I ever will. I have learned to live with this, and I am trying to make the most of my time, but true peace and happiness has eluded me.   Hugs,   Allie

      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.
