I'm pretty conservative when it comes to
body piercing. Sure I wanted an
eye brow ring after Elka on The Real World Boston pierced hers back in 1997. Sure I wanted my
belly button pierced back when I was dancing thirty hours a week and had rock hard abs and all my friends were piercing theirs. My parents would have killed me if I went through with either. The only "alternative" piercing I ever got was my
cartilage on my upper ear and my mom threatened to disown me (note: I was in college at the time!). I let it close up about a year or two later. I can't say I regret not having more holes in my body, but every once and a while I am tempted to do something different.
Right now I'm intrigued by
tragus piercings (its that doohicky that sticks out were your ear attaches to your head). I have a few friends who have it done (hear it hurts pretty bad). I love how its just the slightest bit edgy without being obnoxious or circus freaky. Check out these celebs who rock (or have rocked)

What do you think? Can a mini van-driving mama rock a
tragus piercing?
I like Rihanna's- simple, definitely edgy yet not over the top. I say go for it!
ReplyDeletePretty much every picture on this post makes me cringe - it looks like it hurts so bad!!! I pierced my cartiledge way back in the day (college) and it hurt the entire time I had it in.
ReplyDeleteMy belly button actually didn't hurt at all and it was super easy to hide. So, if your hankering for a hole (har, har) - I'd go that route.
Word. :)

PS - I think we should be virtual friends, too!!
Yeah I'm probably too much of a chicken. And I took my cartilage piercing out for the same reason - it was just always sore. So glad we're friends now! hee hee
DeleteOuch! They do look cute but all I think about is 'Boy... that gotta hurt so bad!"
