Actually, it's more of a question of visual impact. Since we read left to
right, your eyes automatically scan that way. Jewelry and body ornamentation
worn on the left gives a greater visual impact, which is why lots of things
default to that side for many people (i.e. which ear has more rings for people
with multiple pierces, which side of the nose folks usually have pierced, etc.)

It's just more aesthetically appealing for we right-left scanners to balance
heavier to the left.

What statement *are* you actually making? It appears to be a very
private one (unless you wear a T-shirt saying "I'm pierced"). More
likely is that you're exercising your right to be an individual, but I
see no statement.

As for "how sad", etc, no problems - do what you like, as long as it
doesn't encroach on other people's freedom. Can't see a labial piercing
doing that, myself!

It was done by Lal Hardy last year. The design came from a book called
Looking at Indian Art of the Northwest Coast by Hilary Stewart, ISBN:
0295956453. Check out your local library, I found a few books giving
details of this type of art, some with some really good designs.

I don't know if it necessarily indicates closemindedness, but this was
kinda the pattern I followed back in the early/mid eighties when I was a
little younger.  Back then, everytime I had sex with a different
person, with whom I hadn't previously, I put another whole in an ear,
according to the left=het/right=homo code.  I gave up on this after a
while, when I thought I had got enough holes in my ears.  Of course,
the rule doesn't really work to good if you're either entirely
monogomous, or if you're much promiscuous (I was at the right point in
the middle for it to be possible).  Following this rule for a few
years, I wound up with five holes in my left ear, and two in my
right... (but then one of the lefts got infected, and I let it grow
back).  Since I don't "kiss and tell" I won't say anything about my
life since the ear-piercings stopped. :-)

Hi, everybody...I'm looking for information about penis
piercings..especially about the pain involved and what kind of
preparations one should take before getting one.  What exactly is the
procedure involved?  I've had both nipples done--one I did myself, the
other was done professionally--so I know about that kind of pain.  Also
I have many tattoos, so I can stand the pain if it is anything like
that.  Also, does anyone know of a piercer in or around Boston?  Does
anyone have first-hand knowledge about him/her?  Any response is
appreciated.

    i finally decided i want a tattoo, but there may be a slight problem.
    i have extremely dry skin.  there is a deficiency in my pores...so they
    don't produce a lot of oil.  i use lotion almost every day, but if i
    skip a couple of days i get dry patches.

    will this effect the tattoo; either when getting it, or in the future.

    one good thing about it is skin wounds heel extremely fast.

As one who has had a tat done within the last four months, one warning: mine took
about three hours (2 3/4 or thereabout) and the last fifteen minutes were quite
painful.  Aparently the body can deal with two hours of pain and then says "STOP".
I am pleased with the tat and wish you the best of luck, but watch your time, or

I can deal with about 4 hours before I cannot stand it anymore.  On the
other hand, I was told by a tattoo artist of a guy who got a 37 hour backpiece
in 10 days, so....

That is some of the worst advice I have ever heard.  Never hurry your artist,
stop the appointment and schedule another time to finish...  If you hurry the
artist and get a fucked up tattoo, you get what you deserve...

Absolutely agreed. I am really *so* much happier with my body, both
physically and spiritually (not really what I mean, but essentially both
the physical and the nonphysical) as a direct result of my pierces. It's
not that they have made me "more attractive" (although I happen to think
they have), it's that I've done something with myself for myself, something
that I'm really proud of, something that I could not have done without
"liking" myself.

You say "personal choices that made me stronger and happier." Rhia, I
couldn't agree more! There's a lot more to a pierce than metal in flesh.
It's a transcendence of the ordinary, a rising above that that we were
given and making it better. Of course, this applies to far more than just
pierces -- I now have an interest in another tattoo, but this time one that
works *with* my body, rather than just a design placed on it.

So things are pretty hunkey-dorey, and I like it! :-)

It took about 14 months until I was certain my amplang had finished healing.
I had sex that very night, and kept having it.  Although I must say some
folks think I have a very high pain threshold.

: 2) Any complications(other than sitting down to pee for the PA)...like
: what kind of cleaning regimine did you have to undergo?

I cleaned it daily with hibiclense for the first 3 months or so.  One thing
I did notice is that when a bit of hair got twisted around the bar it would
iritate and inflame the area.  Another is occasionally things got really
twisted in my pants at first, and I'd have to readjust them :) No sex without
a condom at all until it heals.  I made that mistake once.

: 3)How does it affect the sensations you recieve during sex, and the ones

It does not really much affect my feeling, alhtough it does make anal
penetration more difficult.  My partners have varied from "yeah, I can feel
it:" to "wow".

: 4) Does it interfere with oral sex, or make it uncomfortable for you
: partner to perform oral sex on you?   

The bar of the amplang can interfere with oral sex, but has not yet stopped
anyone.  I had one gf who had the bar occasionally catch between her upper
teeth (ouch!)  And I had another friend swear that it was responsible for
a chipped tooth.  Beware of this..

: 5) Will it be necessary to now use a condom when engaging in sex (I'm in

I wouldn't think of anal sex with it without a condom.  But beign in a 
safe monogamous relationship now that it is healed, oral and vaginal 
penetration are without a condom.

Reading this group has given me new courage. I am considering getting a

I have psorisis, and am uncertain what effect this could have on the tat. 
If the scaling were to cover part of the tat and then recede, what would
be the result? Would the tat be unaffected, or would I wind up with half a
tat? This is one of the things which is holding me back. Could anybody out
there help with this?
