Body Modifications mainly Piercing...

Thank you for the reply. I apologize that I haven't done my research on the problems associated with nipple piercings. I guess it didn't occur to me that some would question the actual feeding process, sorry I wasn't more clear. My biggest concern was the possibility of an injury to the duct, causing milk flow issues... But the duct is probably avoided when piercing?
Like I said, women who have pierced nipples go on to breastfeed perfectly normally. It's very safe in that regard.
 
Piercing

I love piercings. My gf has her nips, lips and her very large clit pierced. I have a Prince Albert, Frenum, Ampellang and two dydoes in my cock. We also like sounding and play piercing and I often use a Prince`s Wand. The pain was minimal and short lived. We found that we liked the pain and went on to genital play piercing.
 
I have a Plain Vanilla

navel piercing. However, I did it 12 years ago when I was 36. At the time, it represented a lot of things to me. I wasn't in such a good place and that piercing seemed to open a space (bad pun!) for some of the issues to be free. I've worked out most of my issues, but seeing that piercing reminds me of where I was and how much growth there's been. So, I totally get body mods and wish you well in your quest.

Sorry about things associated with this particular pierced part... but thank you for sharing... I am a rounder lady and although I admire the belly button and considered it a few times... I decided it might not be best for me... I had seen several friends and even co-workers have either too numerous complaints due to the issues associated with this area afterwords as well as tearing it out a few times too....
apparently when wearing certain clothing items... tight jeans can get caught on certain jewelry items placed in the belly button and were ripped or torn into a larger hole; one of my friends while swimming, she had a bikini on, swam to the big floating dock in the middle of the lake, pulled herself out of the water dragging her body (which is common for people to do) much like you would do on the side of a swimming pool and caught it on the wood piling and ripped the darn thing all the way out... she had minor reconstructive surgery to fix the rip that wasn't healing right.
I started to imagine myself forgetting and doing something stupid and then ripping it... OUCHY!!! so I checked that one off... right along with the tongue - I like the look and thought of having one... but after working in the medical field and seeing the infections and the roof of the mouth-or pallets being damaged along with teeth losing enamel, I just didn't need more things messing with my teeth and mouth... I have bad teeth and figured It would have cost me a lot more going to the dentist and what knot...
 
Not everybody who gets his/her nipples pierced experiences greater sensitivity. Mine weren't very sensitive to start with, and now, after having them done twice (they were ultimately rejected by my body both times), I can't feel much of anything in my nipples.

There was nothing orgasmic about the clit hood piercing, either. It wasn't in the right place to "stimulate" me, like it supposedly does other people. The heavy barbell in a place where the skin was so sensitive mostly just made it sore.

Agreed. I have them because they look pretty, not because they feel good. In fact, I take them out for sex, because otherwise having my nipples squeezed hurts. They're over two years old so removing them isn't a problem.
 
maybe I got lucky then :) Or at least a little bit. I feel the hood piercing just often enough to be interesting without being irritating (at least so far).
 
body piercer has entered the premises....

i'll try to address all the questions i've read in here, but if i miss any please feel free to ask directly :)

firstly, and most importantly!
make sure you go to a professional who is able and willing to show you examples of their work as well as give you contacts for testimonials (most people who have been pierced are happy to be used as referals for their piercer).
the piercer should also have a portfolio of their work - actual photo's (before and after) as well as written testimonials.
you should also be allowed to view the entire premises, including the actual piercing room and sterilising room.
you should be able to ask any question, and be given a full and clear answer.
if ANY ONE of these is not done on request - walk away and find another piercer.

piercings by body part.....

nipples -
generally easy to pierce, but can be very painful for some and can also take a very long time to heal (up to 6 months).
piercing the nipple does NOT interfere with breastfeeding.... the nipple has many milk ducts, and at most only a few are directly pierced, leaving the remainder to easily cope with milk flow.
(some women can successfully breasfeed with jewellery left in place, most need to remove jewellery).
some women find that piercing enhances sensation, but a very small number find that piercing the nipple actually removes all feeling from the nipple. THERE IS NO WAY TO PREDICT WHICH OUTCOME YOU WILL HAVE.

clit hood -
***only ever get genital piercings done by a competent professional***
hood piercings carry the same risk of sensation-loss as nipple piercings - in other words, although it is only a small percentage who experience loss of feeling it DOES happen!
the risks are reduced by going to a specialist genital piercer.
healing is generally very fast. we say minimum 2 weeks, but for most it's a lot quicker than that. (very high blood-flow areas of the body heal much, much faster than other parts.)
the pain aspect of the actual piercing seems to worry lots of people, but in my many years experience a nipple piercing is 8 to 10 times more painful than a hood piercing.

tongue -
tongue piercing does not automatically mean damaged teeth!
if you have a competent piercer, they will look at all the parts of your mouth before determinimg placement of a tongue piercing, and they will also resize your bar free after 2 weeks to ensure correct bar length to avoid damage.
in some cases the piercer may recommend a 'plastic' bar.
and in some cases, after checking the mouth and tongue, a piercer may refuse to do the piercing at all.
(almost every case of damaged teeth i have seen in 15 yrs is due to having the incorrect length bar in place)

hope this helps :)
 
I have spoken to my husband about this, and it seems as I age and approach mid-life (yikes!) I seem to only get more adventurous whereas he seems to be a bit of a prude with regards to this subject, I personally think it's a really an exciting thought, but, whenever I bring it up, and I can assure you I have definitely talked his ear off... trying to ease him into the idea he claims he wants nothing to do with his body being poked in the manner of piercing...

I have also lately pushed the idea of me getting at least my nipples, which he has lately informed me he doesn't like the thought.... UGH! I don't typically live by his words being the bottom line (thus why I wonder if I am more of a switch - rather then a true submissive) I tend to push hard and often times still do what I want when I REALLY want something, even when he voices his "not so much into" whatever said thing is... he'd rather I have long hair... however, due to it being straight... and I was pushed to bend to another persons wants all the time when I was younger... I wear shorter should length hair... I chose a medically necessary option instead of the 2nd option and told him after I had chosen for myself... (that was in year 2 of our marriage) - he accepts...

There is a huge part of me that wants to be pierced, yet, there is also another part of me that also wishes he would be on the same page with at least a small amount of curiosity, I mean I get it... it's new and a bit strange, to him, but, he and I grew up differently, I grew a bit different from him... much less conservative and sadly his old man conservativeness seems to show it's ugly head occasionally... I just wish it wouldn't show it on this matter... what gets me is that he's perfectly fine with me getting more tattoos, but putting more holes in my body makes him bulk... maybe it's due to me already having a tat when we met?

Bottom line... I sincerely appreciate everyone that has read and posted on this for me... I really in a curious person, I thrive on knowledge and hope anyone and everyone that has anything to add will choose to do so!

Thanks!!!

Even though I'd played with needles as an angsty teenager, and have pierced myself multiple times (didn't end up keeping two of them for lack of sufficient jewelry at the time), I'm going to stick up for the absent minority here.

Perhaps your husband isn't being prudish, maybe he's just expressing his distaste for metal in his wife's skin. Maybe he thinks he won't like how it feels, which is completely legitimate IMO. I know I can't even comfortably make out with S with his labret in. As for BEING pierced, I really think you need to give him a little more respect in that regard. It's not like you're asking him to get a septum, or even surface piercings on his chest... if he's really not into it, then he's really not into it.
 
(some women can successfully breasfeed with jewellery left in place, most need to remove jewellery).
I have heard that this is possible with flexible jewelry, but IMHO it's asking for trouble. Just take it out!
 
40+

I decided at 40 to have my nips done. I had gotten my nose done in my 30s and went back to that piercer who is also an RN and very well trusted/respected in my community. For me it was to celebrate moving to a new place in my life. My body was no longer being used for the biological functions it once had. I decided it was now going to be used for pleasure and decoration. Mine have had a really hard time healing and even over a year later if they are played with super rough I will have to reheal. I wear barbells not rings.
 
So... I am still new to the 'names' and I had to look for photos of a Prince Albert -vs- a Princes Wand... is there one? and just so I understand, these two examples of the piercing of the penis; that long part... it goes into the penis - like into the "pee hole"? (for lack of a better way of putting it) So... my "20 question, inquisitive mind" wants to ask -
-how does that effect, (if it does indeed go into the penis straight backwards from the head to the base) the times when you are relaxed and then going erect and then back to relaxed state after becoming hard? is it something that just doesn't or has never effected you or something that is a fun new sensation that you enjoy?

I obviously have no clue regarding the clit -vs- the hood piercing and honestly now that I know the stimulation abilities... it would be exciting, it excites me to think about it...

If I had it my way I'd be at the local piercer today. Thanks you for adding to the post... I was hoping for a male perspective regarding penis piercings too!

You're welcome. Sorry I haven't been keeping up with the thread. Should you have any questions regarding the male perspective, please feel free to ask.
