Post your piercings and piercing experience here!

Hey, ladies!

I thought it'd be nice if we shared our piercings and piercing experiences for those that are interested in getting one any of us may have!

So currently I have a tongue and septum piercing (stretched from 16g to 12g, aiming for 6g). I retired my ear cartilage piercing about 2 years ago. I found it easier to get my piercings during the first couple of days of my period. For some reason the pain just seems more tolerable.

Getting my tongue pierced was a 4 out of 10, but the healing and swelling was an 8 out of 10. I caught strep throat after getting it because drinking cold things is recommended the first few days and I got mine in the dead of winter. Bad idea!!

Getting my septum pierced was a 6 out of 10. The piercer had a hard time getting it through at the beginning, but he prevailed and did a wonderful job. I since had it stretched by an APP piercer from 16g to 12g and plan to continue stretching it within 2 years.

Next piercings I want are the conch, VCH/HCH/Triangle piercing (whichever my anatomy will allow), and I want a philtrum piercing.
