shout some piercing advice at me please.

so i'm into the piercing thing the last five years...have a few....(lip,tongue,nipple)....i've been debating with my honey about whether to get another....I honestly wanted to get my septum done ...but i'm thinking i like the medusa middle of the upper lip piercing better which, aesthetically would go well with my lower lip....BUT...i also LOVE the monroe one off to the side...my question to you peeps out there that have either.....what do ya think? my worry is that the monroe one will fuck with my teeth. my piercer will give me the lowdown also...and as outlandish as he is, he is always the voice of reason for me....but just wondering what you're thinkin
and, also....do any of you find you having to explain your piercing obsession to your (if you have em) more conventional friends/family? i'm sick of that whole rhetoric..it gets old.

well i would think the monroe oul look awseom...but also the septum...

plus yes i am always explaining t everyone in my faimly about my piercings and my tattoos....cause the only person in our family that has them is my oldest brother...so he understands a little...but none of them get why i am stretching my ears...getting loads of tattoos...their just like...oh it's a phase

I had a labret piercing and had to remove the jewelry after a few months because it bothered my teeth something awful. Someone told me they have a rubber back now, instead of the flat metal I had? If they do that would definatly be more comfortable. I like the way the monroe piercing looks! Best of luck!

I live in a college town, so it's very open minded and piercings are fairly common here but when I visit my family they always ask why i treat myself like a human pin cushion.

I have the ultimate piercer!! He spent so much time with me at my first piercing to make sure its what i wanted and that I understood the ifs ands or buts of maintaining a healthy piercing yadda yadaa....when he did my lip he talked about the proper placement of the piercing so that it wouldn't interfere with my gumline...and if it started to bother me i'd have to consider another piercing....so far my lip has been fine..i wear a ring in mine though so i have no problems with a back....but i'm going to hopefully see him at a get together this weekend and will find out his input on it. just wondering what the public thought about it....

who does your piercings?

his name is roger. works at a joint called new age tattoo and piercing in springfield illinois. he's a local green haired hottie.

A friend of mine has a labret that is hooked and just slips in and out like a hook earring. She says she got it because the one with the back was bothering her teeth.

i used to have a medusa, and i miss it so.....
it hurts for a second...lotsa nerves there..it made my eyes water somethin' feirce!!
i loved it!!!

I think you should get your septum done anyway. It's the one piercing on you that can just scream "FUCK YOU!" to everyone but you can also hide it easily by turning it up. Just my opinion.

good point about the septum piercing..bein able to hide it when and if ya want to....since i already have the labret and my tongue i was wondering if getting a medusa (which i think is ultra hot) or a monroe (again..ultra hot) would be kind of a little too many oral piercings for me....i dont know. i'm mulling it over and will hopefully get pierced tomorrow or saturday...i'll let ya all know.
thanks and happy thanksgiving.
