Yay! Double nose piercing!

And what is this new idea that it gives you?

 

That you can maintain composure as your body is being subjected to pain. Its about realizing what you can do if you put your mind to it.

Thanks jeepz!

 

i read somewhere that people who have had bad relationships with their parents, or who have been abused physically or psychologically in the past tend to get piercings and/or tattoos. because altering your body with a piercing or a tattoo is like making your body yours again. its like saying "this is my body, i can do what i want with it cuz it doesnt belong to anyone else but me". and from then on, getting more and more piercings/tattoos could mean that u become addicted to that feeling of property, u make it a ritual every time u feel threatened.
i dunno if i explained it well, but that theory makes sense to me.

 

My instant reaction to this was "pssht, yeah right, I wasnt abused" so that didnt make sense, but my parents were very over bearing. As soon as I turned 18 I went and got a tattoo and my nose pierced for the exact reason you mentioned...because it was my body to do with it what I wished. So, yeah, your response makes sense to me.

 

I miss my nose piercing, I might get it done again....for the third time!

It looks pretty on you!

 

well, barefootlocks, the theory works for me too. knowing that doesnt really change anything (i mean its not like it would make anyone stop "altering" their body), but it makes u think a lil about how your mind works.
also, *hugs*

 

Thank you tipsy! Does it hurt more to repierce it? Ive never taken mine out and wanted them back later.

Its true crayola! Find myself asking more "why" humans do the things they do as I've gotten older. Phsycology is a fascinating subject.
And *hugs*

 

So you can understand my curiosity? I'm starting to understand, I think.

 

Yes. To be honest, at first I thought you were just being a jackass, but now I understand as well. Sorry for that assumption.

 

It's quite alright, I get it all the time. People don't like being questioned because it might shape their own outlook in ways that they would not want or it may reveal things that they don't want to be revealed. Or they see it as some sort of attack rather than a request for information. At least, that's my understanding of it. Ah, the wonders of the modern mindset. Anyways, apology accepted and I'm also sorry if I appeared to be jackassy.

 

I totally agree, i'm usually one of those asking loads of questions. I studied philosophy at university purely because i'm interested in why humans do the things we do. And i also like people asking questions of me, it's good to think about why we do the things we do occasionally.

One of the things i most like about debates and discussions is that you never know how what is going to be said is going to impact on your life.

 

It looks really good, it fits you from that picture.

You really are beautiful, awesome smile!

 

I think it hurts less. Once i've had the experience of a piercing in a place already it's never as bad the second time - and even less the third or forth.

 

Yeah, i like the turn on part.

I don't think it's anything to do with sadism or masochism or anything like that, i think it's more to do with the brain chemicals flooding all the receptors as you consciously go through the fight or flight barrier. Almost like a nice little dose of really good mdma.

 

I think it hurt more. The first time wasn't too bad at all, but the second time wasn't nice.

 

Thanks broony! Thanks for all the comments guys, nice to hear other ppls point of view

 

i love piercings. Its a personal choice. i dont think they make me look "better" or anything. If anything people look at me like im a freak. but i dont care. I didnt do it for them!!!

 

beautiful! i've considered the double piercing as well. you certainly pull it off

 

Sweet piercings.

 

i love your little sign haha
