So, I'm 18yrs old and I don't have too many piercings. But I go to a VERY conservative university and I kinda stick out because of them. I don't dress any more alternative than the next person, I'm pretty average. A hoodie and jeans. But back when I was starting high school and I was depressed, I had suicidal and homocidal thoughts. I would slice my wrists and what not. Sometimes though I didn't want to cut, I wanted pain, but I wanted something cooler than a scar. I pierced my ear lobes. With a safety pin. Steralized of course. Then one day I pierced my lobes again. Then I worked up to my cartiledge. That was unusually painful. My senior year I pierced my own eyebrow. It's one of my favorite piercings. My ears were a way to inflict pain and anger and have it be socially acceptable and have something cooler looking than scars. My eyebrow was merely because I thought it would look cool. My 18th birthday, I went out and got my tongue pierced. I love it. I intend on getting at least 4 more cartilade piercings, professional this time. I also want my nipples and belly done. Then I want lots of tattoos. . . . . just thought I'd throw this all out there? lol.
Id say go for it! Just dont get something you dont want.... make sure you really want it at take care of it! OH and we can trade piercing pics then drop me a line
