<div class="IPBDescription">ear piercing?</div> well... long story short, my mom is an old fashioned <b>w</b>itch, and she won't let me do it until i'm 18. i'm 17 in a few days, so that leaves me about a year to think it over..

because i'm too much of a wimp to disobey my parents. i'd do it myself, but hey.. maybe i'll be rewarded in the afterlife ¬_¬

but anyway, i was gonna do this:


there's my bald pate, and the spot i want to pierce

this is the captive bead ring i want to put in: <img src='http://www.steelnavel.com/images/STBC_135.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /> it's 1/2 inch and i'm not sure what gauge i'd get it in.

    so it would look like this.

    i'm hoping people w/ experience could give me some feedback on how it looks, at least theoretically. i think it'll look nice (it's my first piercing), slightly different.. and i've been considering it for about a year (off and on).

    i know a few of you have piercings etc, so let's hear it, eh?

    all comments 'preciated (including those regarding why i shouldn't <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo--> )

    oops... except for one major error. i'm gonna do it on the LEFT.

    i'm not g4y.. and i'm not sure where the right ear signifies homosexuality, either..

    so just do me a favor and pretend that the pictures are reversed. thx ^_^;;

    I plan on going "esuna" when I become of age. But I have a question, should I get it all done at once?

    get it small to begin with, high guage. if its the first time your ripping something through your flesh, youll want it to be small, you can always work it larger by buying a bigger one each month if need be.

    Could be cool, I hear it hurts more up at the top though...
    Whoa, wait did you say you were going to do it yourself, or have it profesionally done?

    Definately not.

    One thing is the pain might be a little more than you can stand (One isn't too bad, two isn't either, but anymore and you start hurting), and also any that may be close to other fresh piercings will hurt like a ****.

    Ontop of that, if you're thinking of having high-gauge piercings, you can't stretch them much in one go, otherwise the flesh will tear. But there is the option of a <a href='http://encyc.bmezine.com/?Dermal_Punch' target='_blank'>dermal punch</a>..... ow.


    As to Zig's original question. Yeah, it'll look fine. What i'd recommend is actually picking up a BCR / CBR (Ball Closure Ring / Captive Bead Ring) and putting that on to see what it looks like. I've got loads of piercing jewelery, and if i ever think of getting another i put on a bit of jewelery there first to see how it looks.

    The only advice i'd give is go to a proper piercer's for this. Sure, you could get it pierced at some jewelery store for $3 or so with a gun, but it will <b>never</b> heal and cause you endless amounts of pain and weeping (Leaking pus). Also if you're thinking of <a href='http://encyc.bmezine.com/?which_ear%3F' target='_blank'>which ear</a> to do. It doesn't really matter at all.

    Bah....Earings are stupid on guys...Well it's stupid on anyone if you think about it, your body isn't use to foreign objects such as an earing, which can really hurt the ol' liver.

    I dont agree Mullet. It's not like they do any real harm and beauty is all in the eye of the beholder.

    P.S Thanks for the advice Esuna.

    but.. clarify the above. is it GOOD to go to a parlor, or NOT good? o_o

    i wasn't sure what you meant.

    edit: OHHHHH.

    ok i see what you mean! yeah, i know this place in san francisco (a piercing place).. they're pros and everything. thanks for the advice =D

    Go to a parlor that does piercings and tattoos, NOT a parlor like Claires Boutique...

    rofl. i get it.

    but..

    if i know how to disinfect, etc.. is it ok to do it myself? because.. i think i want to go ahead and get it done, but i don't exactly have parental permission, which is required for minors...

    esuna? =\


    edit: because you say getting it done via gun is bad. if i do it w/ a needle, does that make it ok? o_o

    and how does 14g sound for a first?
