Yeah, guns = evil. Find a clean piercing/tattoo parlour with experienced artists and you'll be fine. The nostril hurts quite a bit and can be slow and frustrating to heal, but it's totally worth it. You can put a clear retainer in it to hide it if you work, but be sure to get glass or quarts and not acrylic!

Corset piercings are pretty, but they're guaranteed to reject, so most of the time you've got them they're red and angry-looking. Then you're left with a bunch of scars all over your back. It sucked bad enough when my eyebrow piercing rejected!

Can you really wear normal earrings alright in stretched lobes as long as they're not like ... hardcore stretched? That's been one of my primary concerns, aside from how they look empty.

And I'm lucky. I've got facial piercings, a microdermal implant in my forehead, and purple hair. Working online has its benefits!
