Body Art (Specifically Piercings)

repliku you aren't speaking from knowledge, you're just guessing as to what it would be like. I have many friends who've taken stretches out and it healed up almost unnoticeably within 1 year. The body is a lot more resilient than you give it credit.

 

I have some experience but yeah, I won't claim to be the expert =:) I do though have piercings and some friends do, and though I did not get stretchers, they decided to work up to huge ones and then later wanted them closed but they were stretched too far. I don't mean regular stretchers won't, but the ones that are pretty large most of the time are stuck misshapen. Wikipedia has some articles on it and actual tattoo/piercing places can be asked which I did and was told it. So I'm really referring to the larger gauges or scalpaling. Sorry for the confusion.

I just decided in the end to not get them because I know me and somehow my body would find a way to make it not right, and that's the luxury of piercings to me is that whatever I do to myself, I can take it out and it will go away if I ever got sick of them.

 

I like some of it, but like tons and tons of it is a bit strange. I want to get a industrial in my ear. >:D
