Category: Piercings

Is it possible to do any piercing on yourself? Technically yes. Putting a needle through your skin and adding some jewellery is not the hardest thing in the world, but doing it properly is not so easy.

Doing a couple of nostril piercings, say, means working with one or more mirrors. It’s all upside down and backwards. You can’t see what you are doing, only a reflection, and that makes it harder, though not impossible, to get good results.

This is one reason you go to a professional piercer. They can measure you up, but also cast a critical eye over the markings, to decide where it should be placed to look right, given the wonkiness of your anatomy.

However, it can be possible to pierce your own anatomy with real results, provided you can see it and have easy access.

Having your ears pierced, or even your nose, is pretty main stream.

There are plenty of people who push the boundaries, and good luck to them.

Here are some to enjoy…

There are discussion forums where you can talk about your piercings, get advice or share pictures, but so many of these seem abandoned.

We have created our own, here.

Anything goes, and we’d love you to contribute. You can advertise your business, show us your piercings, give recommendations, even have a private chat with your friends…

Tattoos and other body modifications are most welcome too!

It’s all free, and there’s no spam or other crap to deal with.

Do tell your friends.
