Ask me a question about body piercing

Go on--you know you're curious! I put this in the health forum, because body piercing does have some consequences in relation to the body and the health.

For instance, did you know that piercing guns are NOT recommended for health and happiness of the piercing by most people who are informed? That's because the guns cannot be properly sterilized, the clerks not well trained in infection control; also those guns were designed for cattle tagging, and inflict blunt trauma on your flesh; plus the jewelry is poorly designed for healing and usually of inferior quality.

You're probably okay if you just get a lobe gunned, but for anything else, make sure you find a properly trained piercer who uses a needle.

yes, I find piercings attractive, particularly well done piercings sized appropriately and accenting an attractive body part.

In fact, I personally am not very attracted to plainskins anymore. Gotta have the metal!

Sure, you could put your PA in a can . . . why would you want to?

Maybe it's a can of Crisco.

Do you know where to get nose bones that are all gold, not just gold ends on a goldplated post?

Here are the best sources for gold body jewelry:

http://www.bodycircle.com/

http://www.bodyvision.net/

http://www.claytonlimited.com/

Nose bones are evil, though--screws are better--which may be why they're not readily available.

Plated jewelry should never be put in piercings for any reason. If you are concerned about sensitivity to metal, titanium is a great option.

How 'bout a nice screw that your piercer will custom-bend for you? No need to rip your nose up removing it, either.

I really prefer the bone, I just can't find one that's all gold.
