Body piercing?

Recommended Posts

I was wondering if there are many here that have had any piercings done.  I had several about 10 years ago and was getting a bit crazy over it.  
Ive done all my own too so it wasn’t a quick pierce n go sort of thing.  
Some were quite slow and painful.  (Maybe this post belongs in the self harm section.  Not sure.)   
However I did both nipples, left ear in two spots, end of my penis both top and bottom of its end.  I also had my tongue  pierced too but I had a professional do that one.   
Ive since let all these heal over though at one point I was using a fairly heavy gauge jewelry so I still have some holes.   One of which is...well...let’s just say I can put two fires out with one hose.  
Anyone else?

I haven't but would like to hear more about how to. Never had any piercings but really want to get some.

 

Any advice anyone could give would be great.

My advice is standard for about everything we Trans folks do.  Seek a professional who has a good reputation and a clean shop to do this.  Piercings are suppose to be a quick thing and it is not all that painful afterwards.  My way was a bit painful.  Ok a lot painful.  But secretive for certain areas on my body.

I got my ears done in Claires (A UK Shop) when i was about 17. Both ears. One in each. I always fancied having my nose done. But I still havent got round to it. Yes get them done by someone who knows what they are doing. If its a shop then at least you have some comeback if it all goes south. or you need some extra advise.  I can recall its mainly keeping them clean and giving them a twist once in a while to ensure they dont crust up and start to close.

 

Before that a girl done one for me. Lump of ice and a sterile needle. But that didnt go so well as it got all sorts of infections. In the end i let it heal up. It was more trouble than it was worth. Not Good.

 

I wouldnt have them anywhere else. To be honest seeing a shirtless guy with his nipples pierced makes me cringe.

I only have my ears done now. I had both nipples and at one time three below the belt. I had to take out my nipples when I had a MRI with my blood clots. Holes closed fast. I got them done in the late 90s so go figure.

 

All mine have been done by the same shop. My piercer was professionally trained and was then a trainer herself. She even took anatomy classes to be a better one.  The original shop owner(tattoo artist) and his wife( piercer) actually co-wrote the tattoo and piercing health standards for the State of South Dakota. They are some of the best if not the best in the country.Because they where written by people in with the knowledge of the art.  Many other states have adopted them also.

 

I would go to a reputable professional. One where every piece of equipment is autoclave sterilized. Never uses a gun and fairly sharp studs that is forced into your ears. A one person use only needle. One that will answer any question you have. One who takes their profession seriously. Explains after care. Crusties are one painful problem that can happen.

 

One who knows that a tongue piercing in the wrong place could cause serious health problems. Same with an Eye brow. one in the wrong place could cause what is called dry socket a serious health problem.

 

Now off my high horse, ( riding side saddle of course) LOL

Sweet. Zombie. Jesus. That hurts just to read.

 

I've had some tattoo work done and I'm thinking about getting more when I hit my weight goals but gah! My sister-in-law has a clit piercing though. I cannot even imagine. Hard pass. Nope. Nope. Nope.

 

Then again, I'm going in to get my genitals reconfigured in a couple of months so it's probably all in my head.

 

Hugs!

Jackie, the piercing down below wasn't that painful at all almost just a sharp pinch. I do plan on getting my navel done once I lose a few more.

I’m thinking this too.  Be a long while but it’s on my radar.

I've thought about nipple piercing and maybe my left ear. Not totally sure yet though as I haven't started any HRT. 

 

Great thread though! Haha

I have had a lot of piercings and have some tattoos. Last piercing I got was my nose. Next will be ears again.
Funny thing, I have my frenum pierced (nsfw piercing), after being on hrt it became too uncomfortable to keep jewelry in :(
I will probably try different jewelry, I would like to keep it for now.

I have always liked the small tiny nose piercing too.  Not a ring through the middle hanging out the nostrils but just a tiny one off to one side.  I find them quite attractive.  I may get this done once I am full time.

I have my left ear done and have been wearing a diamond stud in it.  It definitely stands out being near 1/2 carat.

I had pierced my right ear a week ago.  Myself.  No ice.  LOL 

But I had to remove it as my wife noticed it did not look even from one ear to the other.  So I will have that one done by a pro to make sure its even once the hole is healed over good.

I have both my nipples, my tounge (neither of which I wear anymore). I still wear a 2 gauge prince albert. An 8 gauge apadravia. A 10 gauge guiche. I don't wear my loreum ring anymore.

When I 'dress up' I will put my septum nose ring in.

 

Oh I do still have large holes in my ears but o ly wear regular ear rings through them. I use to have them pierced up and down but toned that down as I got older.

 

I have considered doing my navel since I don't wear my nipple rings and my nipples are kind of soar these days..

      That's a great question @Ladypcnj. It gives time for staff to review your line of thinking or replying. You're almost free to comment at will, reaching 5 posts.   Best wishes, stay positive.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      If it's okay for me to ask, but why does post and replies have to be approved?

      No one that hasn’t gone through the self perceived shame and guilt about the feelings we’ve had cannot understand 1. Why we need a therapist we trust. 2.  Why we suddenly need to talk to them. 3. Why things set us off and throw us into a bout of extreme depression.  4. Why we feel threatened even when we aren’t in immediate danger.  That threat may be only in our mind but it’s our need for reassurance.

      Be careful about software bundled with your antivirus! Most likely they are using it to spy on you. As far as I know the only 2 VPN providers that actually protect your data (and delete it as soon as possible if they keep anything at all) are Proton VPN and Mulvad VPN - the latter one actually had their servers stormed by law enforcement and they walked away with nothing (cause Mulvad had no customer data to offer). I would avoid antiviruses altogether tbh, they're not a magic cure for internet safety and the built in one from Microsoft does its job well enough. If you're not on WIndows you don't even need one - just be smart about what you download of course.   Your web browser asking you to turn it off is probably because the browser would prefer to know your real location, just ignore it or pick a better browser, like Firefox.

      It was stupid of me, the cop was in front of me in a u-turn cut in a spot I know about. I was running a little late because of the slow truck, and the cop happened to be there today. It is like one of only three places for a speed trap on my commute. I usually don’t speed as I try to leave enough of a time buffer in the morning.

      The worst possible scenario is 4 points on my license, which a defensive driving course will negate it. I had considered getting a lawyer, but it is probably not worth the expense. 
    • Ivy
      Yeah, I was puzzling on that too…
    • Maddee
      Good luck maam 😊 I’ve experienced that they’ll lower the points , if you show up in court and pay the ticket.

      Welcome to Transgender Pulse Forums Mealaini,   Like you I knew in my preteen years that I was meant to be a girl, but didn't have any way to bring it up in the early 1960s. It was the expanding news outlets on the telly that allowed me to understand that I may not be the only person who felt this way. Wow was my mind expanded once the internet became a reasonable research tool in the 1990s.   My grown daughter (42) is nonbinary and atheist with pagan leanings. So when I came out to her she was thrilled and wanted to dress me up and show me the world. Well I think she wanted to show me to the world. My son (45) is evangelical christian and very upset with his sister for many reasons. However he's a reluctant supporter of me as transgender. I'm out to my wife and we've been married for 48 years this June, so I'm in a very late in life transition.   The other thing that has me going down an internet rabbit hole is your location. It clearly states United Kingdom with a sub flag of Illinois. I've searched the web and can't seem to locate Illinois, UK. Am I missing something?    Best wishes,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Thank you for sharing, @Mealaini, and welcome.    I appreciate your description of IFS and your book recommendation. I have a few close friends who are very enthusiastic about IFS and my therapist is incorporating some of those elements into my therapy.    -Timi

      Leg hair.  Shaving it was a surprisingly big decision.  (Not as big as the beard tho)  After I did it a few times, it's never really grown back.  Haven't shaved them in a couple of years and you'd never know it.  A daughter living with me doesn't shave hers, and she is much furrier than I ever was.     I don't exactly hate my living as a guy in the past.  TBH, I was never quite there anyway.  But I just dropped it.  I live full time fem, and it would bother me a lot to go back to being a guy.  But I don't have to appease family or an employer.

      @Loreleiit always sucks getting a ticket for passing a slower vehicle. I'm guessing the police officer was some distance behind you until you performed your passing maneuver. My most costly ticket was from a similar situation, however we were heading out of town and the last straight stretch of road to pass the two slower vehicles ahead of me was still in a 35mph zone. I didn't see the officer behind me and as soon as I pulled out to pass he turned on his lights and siren. Since I was in the process of passing, I figured the next safe place to pull over was at the upcoming roadside park. He didn't accept that and wrote me up for passing two gaps, speed in excess of 15mph over, and failure to stop. He did not care to hear about any fellowship in public safety, and no professional curiosities would be honored.  I did go to court plead my case and the judge, and he did see my point of continuing to pass with the intentions of pulling over safely at the roadside park. He was very familiar with the location. This allowed him to drop the failure to stop charges, but I did have to pay the full 15mph over speeding ticket. So my lesson learned was to never pass when entering or leaving a small town or village.   Hugs, and good luck in court.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋
