I am a piercing junkie - currently I have 14 (vertical and horizontal in both nipples, four in my navel, an industrial, custom industrial, horizontal lobes, and regular lobes). In the past, I also had eyebrow, nose, toungue, and lip (although at different times - I did not go for the *cluttered* look
). I also like tattoos, but only have one. I make myself think about a tattoo for at least a year before I will get it.
So, as you can guess, I am running out of places to pierce! Until recently, I also said I would never go below the belt. However, I have decided to do the clit hood piercing, and am so excited!! I will probably go today to my favorite piercing place. I am nervous to be pantless with a semi-stranger going at me with a needle, but it sounds like it will be a better procedure than the nipples (OWWW!
).
The other procedure I am extremely excited about is anchoring. It is similar to pocketing. The jewelery is implanted in the skin, and it is in only one spot (as opposed to two in traditional piercing - in and out holes). I am not really sure if that makes sense, but the jewelry kind of like a socket, and you can screw in different jewels. The result looks like one of those crystal adhesive jewels that people place around their eyes/elsewhere. I really want one on each side of my collar bone (below the bone, at the most concave part - to keep them hidden for work). My only concern is that I hike a lot, and my Camelback/pack will probably rest right on the jewelery. So when I go in for the hood piercing, I will ask more questions about the healing of the anchors. The other concern I have is they are semi-permanent (at least extremely hard/uncomfortable to take out). If anyone is interested in more information on the anchors, I am happy to let you know what my awesome piercer tells me today.
Have a great day, and I will be back to post about my experience today!
