I saw another girl today with a nostril piercing. Multiple girls, actually. yay. I love my life. I'm waiting until I move out of my mom's house to have it done. I'm having it done with a clear retainer and I hope nobody notices it. I already have my speech planned for if I'm asked to take it out. "It doesn't affect my ability to do my job, additionally I was not calling attention to it. I attempted to conceal...

Ill ask them to not do it up too tightly I will need to have clear balls in for school but i want colourful and my style for leisure. Will get coloured put on for now, and swap to clear in january.

just wanted to know how long will i have to wait till i can change the jewellery of the tongue bar? (im hopin to switch it to this once i get it done: http://www.bodyjewelleryshop.com/onl...lo_3699344.cfm )

The balls on the barbell I had in with the initial piercing were really tight; I tried to change them but it would've taken a lot of force and I probably would've torn my piercing. I had to go to my piercer to take them off the first time so I could change it to a retainer. You might not have such a hard time though.

well exactly! does my stretched lobe prevent me from performing CPR? not in the slightest! nor does it hinder me in drug rounds, any sterile procedure nor does it mean my ability to communicate with patients is compromised! never mind tho eh! rules are rules x

it sucks, honestly they really dont affect our jobs... i could understand if it did... peed me off a few weeks later though when a band 5 came in with false nails (really really long) and nothin was said to her an her diamond fantastic over sized chav studs >.<

Most people I know with them say it doesn't make much of a difference, though some men find the "stigma" of the tongue ring on a woman attractive. Keep in mind though, you can get koosh or vibrating attachments, and they do sometimes make a slight difference. For kissing, I never noticed a difference when kissing a man with a tongue ring... I did like playing with his lip ring while kissing though =P

You can get pierced any size between 0.8mm and 6mm. Once you get pierced you wont be able to stretch for about 6 months.

Then...obviously it wouldn't be a surface bar used. I did think you meant a proper vertical tragus, but was just a bit confused by that question. Usually a curved barbell would be used, and your tragus really needs to be large/prominent/thick enough to support the piercing otherwise it probably will reject. It's a deep cartilage piercing and will probably take a long time to heal - longer than a normal tragus piercing. For pain,...

my pa was less painful than my eyebrow, but it's still an easy piercing to have done, it felt like i'd been punched afterwards the first time.
