Body ModsThis week we hand the honours over to DippyFi, who asks:
"Got your girlfriend stuck on your Prince Albert? Had an argument with your tattoo artist mid-tattoo? Piercing mysteriously dissolved the cartilege in your ear? Or worse: decided to pierce yourself while you were drunk? Go on, I wanna hear all the gory details!"
The closest I've got to body piercing was when a friend stuck a sodding gardening fork through my right hand. It wasn't a good look to be honest.

Pierced earsI've pierced my own ears six times, mostly when drunk, cos it doesn't hurt.
The only one I ever regretted was doing my tragus (the little flap of ear in line with your eyes at the front of your ear, which half-covers the your lug 'ole). I was a bit pissed and, using a silver stud flamed for a few seconds with a clipper for amateur-sterilisation purposes, pushed it through the skin. No problem. I then spent fifteen minutes wiping blood off my fingers while trying to put the butterfly clasp on the inside of my ear.
I was quite pleased with it, although it did start to go a bit manky, so I did the usual bathe-it-in-surgical-spirit thing. Three weeks later, although it was no longer septic, it decided to work its way out of my tragus, apparently changing the structure of my ear in the process. It literally dissolved its way out of my head. I had half a hole in my ear for a few weeks, then it closed up and all I have left is a tiny scar.
Bastard!
