  • Ah, the tongue piercing. I miss mine sometimes, but when it got infected and swollen- Jesus H. Christ, that hurt like a mofo. I was beginning to wonder how old is too old to have a navel piercing- I've had mine 2 years now and still really like it.

    Did having your nipple pierced hurt a lot? I've been thinking about doing that since I often get whims where I either have to pierce something or cut all my hair off.

  • Princess - having my nipple pierced hurt like a mofo (plus there was the whole weirdness of some weird guy fondling my boob without even buying me a drink or telling me I'm cute first) - plus it was always infected (you know, because I don't - usually - go around topless) and while it earned me a free drink or two, I'm not the flashing type, so I didn't get much mileage out of it for the pain it caused me

  • Hey Cate (or anyone else)....as an earnest and possibly ignorant male, what is/was the appeal of "getting" the nipple piercing anyhow? I've never quite got that. Personally, I like nipples just the way they are.

  • Monk - I'm not quite sure what my motivation was for it - supposedly it would heighten the sensation - but, I'd never had a sensation issue before... it was sort of an impulse - probably not something I'd do again

  • cate, do NOT get rid of your tongue ring! i had mine 3 years and miss it very much! you are never too old, if you like it, keep it. if you aren't speaking w/ a horrible lisp, keep it! if you can chew your food and not chip a tooth b/c of it, keep it! ; )

  • Don't get rid of the tongue ring. You're never too old.

    I had my nipple done years ago and I still kep it. Sometimes I think I'm too old for it but I look young and I like when people that meet me and think I'm all conservative and stuffy find out I have it and freak out over it.

  • Cate. Lose the ring, i say. Since i'm in my 30's, I understand the age factor, and at some point you realize, it's no longer that effective. Bottom line: if YOU don't dig it no more, lose it. Who cares what anyone thinks about it. Shock loses its novelty quick. Me, i feel the same way about my '80's cowlick. Someday ima gonna have to conform, dagnabbit!
