I've often been tempted by piercings, but I don't think I'd go for the nipple- I know it's supposed to enhance sensitivity and all that which sounds just fine but I'm too clumsy, and knowing me I'd rip half the skin off my chest off getting undressed one day. Ditto for bellybutton (a bit girly anyway) and double ditto for anything below the waist (&& above the legs)

Most face piercings look good, but you need a certain style which I just don't have. If I were to get pierced it would probably be the tongue.

Have also been tempted by tattoos lately. My mum would hate it, but she'd just have to get used to it.

I can't give you any advice beyond that you should be careful with them.
I really like piercings. well, piercings in ears. I don't know the English word for it. I don't like piercings on other places of the body. But when it comes to ears. YEAH!!! I get an adrenaline rush from a whole row of earings in an ear. Now I think of it. Where's my GF? She's got in both of her ears a row of 6 diffirent earings, oh yeah... sigh, the sheer beauty of it...
Good luck with your piercing. May the metaldetectors ignore you.
(most of the time they will, because of the small dimentions of the ring)

Ok, my dad ain't going to be home for a couple of days.

Although i did a quick search on that wonderful thing known as google. Try "Caring for Nipple Piercings"

That looked pretty informative

piercings

follow directions of the person who pierced it (if their a pro) remember to clean multiple times daily for a week then reduce frequency of cleanings
sugestions for quicker healing obtain aloe vera juice (from an actual fresh plant ) to cover the area after each cleaning this will promote healing
or a product called neosporin can be substituted in either case they will promote faster healing and provide antibacterial properties to prevent infection

tattoo's follow the same advice as above

with one important addition tattoo's are very sensitive to ultra violet light during the first few weeks to preserve the color of the new tattoo DO NOT expose it to the sun best reccommendation is that it remain covered for at least the firs week preferably for the first 3 weeks allowing full healing to occur then unveiling your new tat in all its full unfaded color glory

these are the things i have learned from friends girlfriends and five years in the navy

p.s. i do not have any tats or piercings
my paranoia does not permit such a easily traced item to become assoiated with me allowing me the option to change at any time and be as untraceable as possible (who said the navy still has my prints on file in their computer hhmmmm??? )

Thanks for the suggestions and stuff...and to be honest RD I hadn't thought of Google. Slipped my mind.
