Body ModsThis week we hand the honours over to DippyFi, who asks:
"Got your girlfriend stuck on your Prince Albert? Had an argument with your tattoo artist mid-tattoo? Piercing mysteriously dissolved the cartilege in your ear? Or worse: decided to pierce yourself while you were drunk? Go on, I wanna hear all the gory details!"
The closest I've got to body piercing was when a friend stuck a sodding gardening fork through my right hand. It wasn't a good look to be honest.

this isn't gory, just advice for piercing contemplatersI've had my ears pierced (at the mall when I was 14, no doubt the least-hygenic piercing I ever had), my eyebrow, my tongue, and my navel.
I noticed, back when I paid any attention at all to piercing culture, that navel piercing seems to be one of the most widely accepted-- esp. among younger women/girls.
This is a mistake. Eyebrow-- no trouble. Tongue-- no trouble (make sure it's done right, though-- do NOT skimp here, go to the best). Navel? I had that little fucker in for over two years, and it *just never healed*. Two years on and I could still feel a twinge every single time I bent at the wait. Out it came, and ten years on you can still see the entry hole clear as day. Also BY FAR the most painful piercing going in, way worse than the tongue.
Also, though I never had one, I knew a girl who had to have grafts to repair the spot where she wore away her lower gums until her bottom front teeth almost fell out, courtesy of her labret (lower lip) piercing. Eww.
