The latest Hellraiser comic (always a good place for unusual body-mods) has
a charecter with a pierced septum, a laberette (sp?),and several earrings.
When the cenobites put thier hooked chains into him, he responds with an
"Ohh baby!  Yes!" and askes for one in the groin.  It turns out that he's
developed a phenominal healing ability.  He figures that it'll only mean
that he has less scabs to heal.  He starts off as a tatoo artist.  My kinda
charecter.  I wouldn't mind the snake he has tatooed around his arm either...

I have a queston regarding piercing a healed tattoo.

I'm going to get my belly-button tattooed, well to be precise,
the skin around it, and would like to get my button pierced as 
well.

After it heals, how long should I wait to pierce my button?  Does it
matter really after the tat has healed?

Thanks!

Come on people. If you don't think this is for you, then don't respond.
I'm quite interested in this myself, and would appreciate any info as well.
Every time I see the subject line I get excited thinking here's some new
info, only to be dissapointed by posts like the one above. The group IS
rec.arts.bodyart, that is, for the discussion of art involving ones body.
Whether you like it or not, it includes branding.

What got me interested in branding was reading about the fraternity Omega
Psi Phi. It is one of the oldest predominantly black fraternities in
America, and supposedly still practices branding on their members as an
intiation. I saw a guy with an Omega Psi Phi shirt on the other day and
wanted to ask him about it, but he was on the phone and I was in a hurry.
Anyone out there a Psi Phi?

Christopher.

  I used "Super White" to whiten my curlies.  It comes in a little tub in
powder form and you have to add 40 volume hydrogen peroxide.  You can get
all the fixins at a discount beauty shop or a wig salon (where I get mine).
  Be careful how you spread this stuff, you don't (for instance) want any
dribbling down your urethral opening.  Also, you only need to use half a
tub (maybe less, I dunno) of the stuff, so just halve the recipe for making
it.
  
  Hope I have helped...

Hiya, howdy, etc...

I am (kinda, semi) planning on getting a nipple piercing, however,
a ShadowOfDoubt has crossed my mind.  What have y'all noticed about
sensitivity changes?  (specifically, erotic stimulation)  My nipples
are very sensitive (well, for a guy :) ), and i really don't want
to lose this.  What is interesting, is that the left is obviously more
sensitive than the right (my left, my right :) ), but this is the one
I wnt to have pierced (aesthtic reasons... no other piercings as of yet), so
I am worried about losing the sensitivity.

Any opinions?  I am ging to start and stay small, with a ring, probably
not even a captive bead.  (maybe 12 to 14 ga.)  I don't
have any metal/alloy allergies, and was going to get niobium/titanium
anyways, so that is a non-issue.

I got mine done 6 months ago.  At first it did feel really odd,
and always felt like something was in my ear.  Now I can't
feel it at all, even when I sleep on it.  I think it just takes

I have had three 1.5 mm/15mm fixed bead rings and a 1.5mm ( 14G?
) / 19mm fixed bead ring in various combinations in my PA. The princess
I was dating that time did not feel much difference except that all
those rings were too much for oral sex.

Now I wear a 6G 5/8" id circular barbell with 5/16" beads. The ladies I
have had sex with did not let me take it out. I think the effect is
mostly psychological, but that is sex all about. The barbell is a bit
too big for oral sex, but manageable.


>Do you have a tendancy to lose captive beads?

Well, I lost the bead once, but was lucy to find it. After that I have
been checking it everytime I piss. It is not a problem, but I would really
hate to have to go throught the trouble of getting a replasement bead. See,
this is Finland, beads are not locally available.

Personally, I like more rings. I choosed a barbell, since I want it to
be easily removed. It is big, and I did not know how it will work.

Concerning condoms. I have not noticed any difference. The jewellery is
round, it will not cut, or it would cut her too, and I don't think that
it contributes much to the stretching factor.

I like circular barbells; somehow they seem more masculine.
I started out with a 12ga bead ring, and have changed to larger barbells.

>The guy at Gauntlet says the curved barbell is easier to take out and
>	put back in. What do you need to take it out for? Black tie dinners?

I take mine out occasionally, most often for oral sex. With a heavier
ring, I find that my cock hangs a weencier bit lower, and can chaff on
my jeans when I go for long walks. I sometimes take it out for this
reason. The change in weight from a 6ga to 4ga is quite noticable.
The ring is larger, plus the Gaultlet jewelry changes ball size there.
The 4ga ball is heavy. The only thing i miss is that the larger ball
will not fit into my urethra (someone mentioned that this caused them
concern).

Hi there,

     About six weeks ago I had a Prince Albert piercing done at Innovations in
Leather up in Boston. I had a 12-gauge stainless steel circular barbell put
into the pierce since I thought it would be the best idea healing-wise. Un-
fortunately, my P.A. is being rather stubborn about healing up.

The problems are:

1> I had one infection about two weeks ago. I went to the doctor for it and
   he prescribed some antibiotics for it. The infection was barely noticeable
   to begin with (a small, red, pimple-like sore appeared) and vanished after
   a week of antibiotics and neosporin.

2> It looks as if some sort of infection/rash is starting again. There's a 
   reddish area to one side of the pierce, and there seem to be two white spots
   on the side of the actual pierce itself. They're very small, and difficult
   to see. I've been using hydrogren peroxide on the area, but I think it's
   actually causing a bit of irritation. At any rate, it's not painful, and
   my hydrogen peroxide/triple antibiotic treatment seems to be keeping it
   from progressing further.

Has anyone ever gone through something like this before? What are some things
I can do to reverse the "infection" and help it heal? During the first five 
weeks of the healing process I cleaned the piercing twice a day in the shower
with Betadine, and then covered it with Neosporin. I'm truly puzzled about
why the piercing is behaving like this. I'd really prefer to handle this with-
out going to the doctor's office again since it costs a fortune and I get
the most interesting comments from the folks at the walk-in clinic.

Last night I was watching a recent x-rated video and noticed that one of
the female stars was sporting a piercing at the base of her throat,
through the skin between the ends of the collarbones, from which she
had dangled a pendant.  We had to examine the video closely to see if it
was truly a piercing or whether she was using a fine chain.  I've never
seen anything like this before, and I like it!

The video is called "Where the Girls Play", and also includes a scene
with fire play.  The rest is fairly standard all-girl action.

I'm considering having a wristband tattoo done and would like to hear from
others who have them. In terms of scabbing/healing, etc., is it harder to take
care of than, say, an upper-arm tat? Is it more likely to fade than other sites
because of near-constant exposure to sun? (A large amount of the design will
be gold-shaded - a color I assume will fade quicker than other colors?)

Also, what of the pain? Part of the design is going to spill over onto the back
of my hand, and I imagine it's going to hurt... I've had an upper-arm tattoo 
done, which took an hour, and the pain was nowhere near what I'd expected, so 
it went really well. The worst, come to think of it, was the soreness of the 
area the following few days. Fortunately, I'll be having it done on my 
non-writing hand...

Thanks for any advice.

Hi y'all-

	I got an ampallang back in Febuary, and the folks at Gauntlet told
me that it would take about 6 months to heal,  Well, here we are 8 months later,
and the amp is not doing too well.  I get small amounts of crusties on the
barbell every day, and my penis is still VERY sore.  I can have (very tame) sex 
if my partner is well lubricated, and even that hurts a bit.
	Even when I remove the jewelry (which I have started doing for sex),
I still have to be careful -- one wrong thrust, and I'm in a LOT of pain.

I would appreciate any advice, or if you want to share your experience, please
do.  At this point, I have gone through a lotta pain for the amp, and I sure
don't want to have to remove it, but it looks like I might not have a 
choice...

Thanks everyone, and again, please share your experiences.

(Just north of Buffalo) Quite entertaining! 
	The show is a 'freakshow' and was touring with the Lollapalooza

through each earlobe, and lifted up an iron (like for ironing clothes) on
each one, and swung them around, then he put a coat hanger through his
tounge and hung an iron or two off of that. Then hung his jacket on the
coat hanger when it was through the septum of his nose, THEN hung a cinder
block on heavy (towing weight) chain from his two nipple rings, **THEN**
hung the two irons from the piercing (one of three, I'm told) in his penis!

	Each of these was done seperately, of course, but all were very
impressive! :)

	I talked with him a bit after the show. Seems like a very friendly
