How old were you when you had your first Body Piercing?

[Fairy Dust]

...inspired by the baby's ear piercing poll...

I was 19 when I decided I wanted my ears done. I went with my work colleague in our lunch break, took the bus to a local jewellers and we both came out with pierced ears.

They used an ear piercing gun. One hole in each lobe and he put in gold studs.

I don't have any other piercings.

I was 9...and just my ears...and that's all I have today. The pain was enough...I'm not the biggest fan of pain so I'm just going to stick with the ears! LOL!

Okay, you say body piercing and I think "BODY" piercing. I had my ears done the first time when I was 7 or 8. I had my second set of earrings done when I was about 13, had my third hole put in my right ear when I was about 16. At 18 I had my belly button pierced. I keep saying I want to get another piercing in my ear, but I just haven't been able to talk myself into it yet. Piercings hurt!! Tattoos, that's another subject completely. I have 2 already and I am planning my 3rd!!

My mom made me wait until I was ten to get my ears pierced. When I was 12 she let me get them double pierced. In retrospect, I should have forgone the latter. I never really use the second holes.

Still waiting....

I only have a double piercing in each ear. I believe I was 13 when I had them done. I've been toying with the idea of a belly button ring but I think I'm too old...the ship sailed on that one

10... I've done 4 more sets of earrings (for a total of 10 earrings) and one body piercing since then. It's been about 3.5 years since I got my last (was 27 when I did it). Every once in a while I itch for more

Don't know your age. But I do know a 39 y/o that just got one and she likes it a lot. Her husband hates it...but I think he hates it because it's a diamond and costs much $$$$$

If ya wanna! GO FOR IT! It's not like you run with the crowd anyway ya lone wolfette you.

I got my ears done at 12, but I don't count that as a body piercing.

I got my belly button pierced at 22, but I took it out when I was pregnant and it closed up. I plan on getting it re-pierced. I got my nose pierced when I was 26. I've been thinking about getting my eyebrow pierced for almost a year now, but I'm too chicken.

I was a baby when it was done

 

[solferino]

My ears were pierced in 1st grade- had it done at the dr office.

When I turned 30 I had my left nostril pierced and a little after that the right tragus (the little flap of cartelidge that "covers" your ear opening)

OK, question?! Did that hurt? I have always wanted to get that pierced, but I have been so afraid that it is going to hurt REALLY bad! YOu would think I would be tougher than that after my tattoos, but for some reason that one makes me nervous.

That actually was the last piercing I got. I was 27. It's kind of cute now that I am pregnant and with only a month to go I really hope to keep it in (so far so good on it per my doc... says it looks great actually even though my belly button is now huge). If not, I'll be redoing it after the birth (which means I'll probably be 31). There is no such thing as "too old" IMO for that.

I was 6 when I had my first holes done. Went and got my 2nd and 3rd done on the same day when I was about 15. When I turned 18 I got my navel pierced and the weekend before I left for college I got my cartilidge pierced. In total I have 8 piercings and I'll probably get something else done eventually.

7-8 for my ears
10-11 for the second time with my ears, I let them close up

18 for my belly button-took it out two years later, I regret getting it done because its going to stretch when I get pregnant, so i wont have a cute belly

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but alot of people don't have a cute belly after having a kid with or without a piercing. Seriously, my un-cute belly after 3 kids had nothing to do with my piercing, which I kept in through all 3. It's the daggum stretched skin (not even stretch marks really) that makes it not cute!! My belly button still looks great!!

Had my ears pierced in 6th grade. Had second holes done when I was a senior. Cartlidge done when I was 40. First tattoo last year when I was 47. Now I'm wanting another tattoo.

I was 16. That was when my mother let me get my ears pierced and I have not had anything else pierced. My DD was 7 when she had her ears pierced.

 

[Meriweather]

21 for first set of ear holes......in those days it was done by a medical professional (or by a friend with a needle ).
Second set of ear holes about 33 at the mall.

We got DD's done when she was 3 .....at the mall.

 

[mickeylove2]

I was 12 when I had my 1st set of holes....after that I lost track of when- but between 13 and 15 I had my 2nd-6th holes in each ear done. At 14 I had my eyebrow pierced, at 16 I had my labrae done, at 18 I had my tongue pierced, at 17 my 1st tattoo and at 19 my 2nd.
