Those are best to get done when you're older. They're a lot of work to take care of. They also can get infected if not done or cleansed properly. Your tummy organs can also get infected. Just letting you know.

Also, if you want to get your top ear pierced, you better get a proffesional, if your cartilage shatters (which does happen) you'll have to have the top half of your ear cut off...

My friend says it really doen'st hurt too bad, unless you try to stretch it too fast. Just take your time...you shouldn't make it a lot bigger in one day.

Stretch one gauge at a time and wait about 3 to 4 weeks in between. If your ear bleeds at all you've stretched to fast. All that I feel when i stretch is a slight pull kinda like when you stretch any muscle on your body.

Oh... ok, that's good. But, I'm really impacient... so, that might not work.

And you wonder why we said 'Eww'.

Yea it really doesnt hurt as long as your smart about it. Stretch one gauge at a time and wait about 3 to 4 weeks in between. If your ear bleeds at all you've stretched to fast. All that I feel when i stretch is a slight pull kinda like when you stretch any muscle on your body.

Owww... I was thinking about getting my ear stretched... but now I don't know!

I think piercings are pretty cool if they are not too wild. I want to get my belly button pierced but my mom won't let me . tatoos are ok if you like that stuff but im not really interested in that for myself. now, suspension and scarring? they sound more like methods of torture! who in their right mind would do that to themselves? Idk, some gothic type people (no offense to anyone) enjoy pain but putting hooks in your skin? doesn't sound like fun to me but, whatever floats your boat i guess.

suspension is, as it's called. One suspends him/herself with hooks(really big hooks) in varies places in the back, and leg area
and branding isn't all that pain full, I have a few brandings on my arms
and scarification is like branding but cut the ckin to form a design instead of burning it

I've seen people with piercings running up their arms. I think there's a name for it, but I forget what it is. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Some boy in my P.E. class was wearing that shirt, and my friend Alex (who is a hard core Christian) got all pissed off. I had to hold back the laughter. I was going to ask if she was actually serious, but I returned to my senses.

I know what piercings are (duh) and tattoos (another duh) but what is suspension? Branding is another obvious one, although it seems like it would be painful, and what exactly is is scarification? Making scars? Ow. Explain! Oh yeah, happy Easter everyone Jesus is my homeboy! haha.

thers basically 2 ways to stretch your ear. The first and less permanent way is to take a taper
which is little at the tip and gets bigger gradually until its at the desired gauge you want.

The other way is to get it cuttlered. This is when they take an actual razor sharp tool and cut out a chunk of the ear as big as you want.

Gauged ears can have some cool jewelry this is what i wear

Oh yea I know what your talkin about with the tatoos idk what their called either though

How in the hell do you stretch your ear anyway? I understand that you stretch it, but how do you get the gauge in there? Do you get a piercing and than stretch it out or what?

I like those tattoos that are clear but they go under your skin and pop up. I think those are cool. Anyone know what I am talking about because I have no idea how to explain it.

I think a lion and its mane(sp) would look pretty cool but its something you have to like because its on your body.

ok if i get a branding, what should I get it of? I'm gonna get some tattoos, next year and I already know what I'm going to get them of

Eh.

I bought a tube of henna paste from an Indian store for $2.

Sorry, I know I'm being annoyingly random right now but it's late and I'm hyper.

Henna is like chlorine in a pen: it stains your skin for months.

Henna tatoos are pretty cool too.
They're not permanent atleast

I hate my body. It's different from everyone else's. But then... I would not change it unless I had to.
