I've got two in each ear and my tongue done as well...I used to have my navel and both sides of my nose, but after several years my navel started getting irritated (because of work) and I kept getting my nose piercings caught by my rings when I washed my face and they'd get lost down the drain, etc so out they came... :(

Yes, I have one body piercing. I have my left nipple pierced. I needed to know how it would effect me and how it healed due to wanting a piercing in a differnt exotic location that I really dont want to get infected.

When I went to the shop to get a piercing, I had planned to pierce my ear, but really dont like ear piercings that much, and when they said the ear and nipple were the same price, and that this woudl be "out of the way" I chose it. Glad I got it.

It did get infected though and they put too big a ring in it and had to go one size down to get it to heal.

I have to take it out every time I go in the hospital. ~laughes~ but always am able to get it back in!

I have had almost everything pierced. Eyebrow, Tongue, Libret, etc. I get tired of them and take them out. Currently I have snake bites and a monroe, on top of the typical ear piercings (2 in each ear). I have never had any issues with healing or infections. All of my piercings close really really fast though. Can't leave them out long at all. I have found that with cleaning and healing, that H20 spray or any sea salt water spray works the best.

one in my nose that I never wear anymore BUT is still open! So weird. Two in one in ear and one in the other.

All of them are still open although I never wear anything in them. It does come in handy at Halloween.

I've had quite a few piercings over the the years.

1. Nipple, this was my first when i was 15. My parents said i wasn't allowed to have anything done on my face so i said, 'fine i want to get my nipple done.' They thought i was bluffing... ;)
2. Belly button, (think i was about 16) this got infected after about 4 months.
3. Ears, (funny that i got my nipple b4 i even had my ears peirced)
4. that weird bit in your ear right next to your face, that hurt the most.
5. Libret. (this has been done twice i had to take it out or work, but got it redone a year later when i quit that job.)
6. wrist. that only lasted 3 months, kept getting caught on everything.

umm thats it. i'm only left with my libret and ears now. i had my nipple for about 5 years but it was starting to grow out. ewwwwww. :)

I am really considering getting my nose pierced. I'm kind of funny in that I have no problem sitting for a few hours to get a tattoo done but the few minutes it takes to get something pierced scares the crap out of me. The only thing I have pierced now are my ears, 4 on each side and three tattoos.
