Hmmm, I know a couple of men with a tragus piercing, and they definitely look better on women. But then I really can't look at men who had their ears pierced either

After about a couple of years I changed the ball closure ring to a smooth segment ring. A couple of years ago I put a labret (mostly used for nose piercings) in, mainly because I use in-ear earphones so a normal barbell wouldn't work. First I used a bioplast one, on which you put a ball/stud on a "stick" in. But I changed it to a normal metal one because I kept pulling out the stud because my hair wound around it. Haven't lost the ball yet, it doesn't even seem to unscrew. |
I think they pierced my ears (with a gun) when I was 10 years old. So maybe I don't really remember how much it hurt. When I got pierced, it hurt like hell for a couple of seconds and then my ear throbbed for the rest of the day. I also developed a bump after a couple of weeks, which took a couple of months of intense treatment to heal.
I changed the hoop after six months I think. I really hated it. Everytime I combed my hair, my hairbrush would catch in the hoop and pull at it.

Pictures of tattoos hurt. I can only imagine (which hurts too) the actuality.

I'm getting my first tattoo! Made the appointment last week. And I'm also planning to get a new piercing soon, an
Industrial I think.
