looks like that aussie


@eyeliner - i always assumed that they did two sepearte piercings and allowed those to heal before inserting a scaffold (because of swelling etc). do you know how they do go about it?

With mine it was pierce, pierce, bar, there you go, you know about the aftercare, see you later. They're supposed to let the piercings heal but the place I went do didn't for some reason.

Lol, tell me about it.

One of my friends fainted after she got her ears pierced. She refuses to get another piercing now.

I love my peircings, tragus, tongue 3in each lobe and Navel
Never let someone near you with a gun - go to a pro peircer and get it done with a needle, It will heal quicker and wont sting anywhere near as bad.

You dont have to believe me. there are many peircing boards out there that will tell you the same!

I have my ear lobes done twice i dont wear earrings anymore though but here is a story for you

when i was in high school i was about 14 all the other girls had the top of their ears pierced i felt left out so i got my friend to do it for me, with a earring and nothing else she just shoved it in and away i went it didnt get infected or anything and my mum went mad when she found out. it didnt hurt 1 bit

the noise might make you jump but thats about it

good luck

I tried to stretch the one on the top of my ear cos I had a stud I really wanted to use...

It bled a lot but didn't hurt.

Ear piercings are nothing you'll be fine =]

I had my nose done, the first night I lost the stud and the hole healed up on the inside. I had to go back the next day and have it re-pierced was a right pain because he couldn't find the whole so I was sat for the best part of 10 minutes having a needle wiggled around in my nose haha.

With ear piercings, I'd say get them done with a needle if possible but if in doubt you can always have them both done at the same time.

Can I ask what a scaffold piercing is?

I do wish you hadn't asked that ... or maybe that pavlovs_dog hadn't given an illustrated answer! :rotfl:

fairycake, you might find this older thread of interest. And if anyone's wondering, the answer's no. I could tell DH wasn't that keen. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! Plus I got a rather beautiful ring for that birthday instead - you know how sometimes you see something, and it just has your name on it?

But please don't let that put YOU off!

Thanks to all of you who replied to this thread. I have actually had them done and it was fine, no pain, just a pinching feeling and they look great.
Dont know why i was so worried!
Really appreciated your comments.
Thanks again

Oh don't worry, better to ask than live wondering ... just that I can get a bit squeamish about these things.
