Ive got nipple, labret x 3 and ear periced. Although i dont wear my lip bars anymore on a daily basis, but if i do go out then i will occassionally put them in. I used to have my ears x 6 in each ear but now only have 1 in each. I also have a navel pericing which again, i dont wear normally but i can if i fancy it. Im more of an ink kinda girl.
Do like the sound of a VCH though.
External Media im considering getting my nipple pierced although il admit im a tad scared
My nipple piercing rejected so had to take it out.... apparently my body doesnt want any more metal in it! My nose stud fell out after a week and it closed too quick....
nipple is ten times more painful than a vch and healing time is way way longer!!!
I must say that i was expecting the nipple piercing to really flipping hurt but it didnt, there was a twinge as the needle went through and then it was done. One of the least painful pericings ive ever had.
Throughly recommend it. I was really nervous but soooo glad i took the plunge and did it. I havent had any issues with it, it is obviously a bit tender a few days afterwards but keep it clean and your good to go!
I'm looking for a really good (obviously!) piercing studio somewhere in Anglia or the South-East. I'll happily travel a bit for a good one, but Norfolk / Suffolk / Cambs / Essex should surely have a nice place, somewhere? Right?
OH thinks i should wait as i dont 'NEED' any extra help with sensativity.. but i just want it done!! x
LH, maybe you could ask around for some less prominent jewellery? I think there are some flexible things on the market that put less pressure on the piercing itself. Not sure if they'd be suitable for a VCH, but since most people want more sensitivity, perhaps people don't often ask the question...
We're all pretty civilised and friendly (well, most of us are) so don't be afraid to ask questions and get stuck in. Most topics have been discussed at one time or another, but if you can't find what you're looking for in the old threads or on the blog ( http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/blog/ ) you can start a new thread yourself.

Did you find anywhere yet Mr M?
I don't have any recommendations for you unfortuneatly and there appears to be few directories for the UK. I looked at this one when I was looking around for a piercer, not sure if you've looked here already?
Incidently, I spent hours looking for a bloody piercer when I had my VCH done. Despite being more than happy with it so far, on reflection, if I hadn't have done any research myself I'd have been pretty stuck as my piercer barely gave any after care instructions and the whole process was a little awkward and they had plenty of recommendations!
just a quick question, im sure its been answered 100 times but what is the usual healing time for a VCH piercing? xx
Really quick compared to some piercings. Usually around 2-4 weeks. Mine took about 2 weeks. x
Mine took a little longer than this but only about 3-4 weeks until I felt fully comfortable with it. Washing in the shower and shaving etc was weird for a while and then 'one day' it just felt right.
oooh both great ideas ill take my comfy nd probably mosy unsexy undies and ill take panty liners :) anything else? :D x
Mmm don't wear too tight clothes although in fairness I wore leggings and had no problems at all...
Depends on your piercer but relax (easier said than done) and breathe one long breath out when he's/she's in position (you'll know as they'll put a tube (NRT) up there).
Make sure you check the placement before they pierce - to make sure you're happy with it.
My other tip would be to get them to write down what guage, length, material and sized balls they've used. I forgot and had to email them back!
Otherwise it's 2 seconds of pain and that's it, nothing else. Honestly!
I have different coloured swarovski crystals to pop on the ends of my barbell so maybe I could get matching jewellery in those colours but I'd love to have an actual matching set.
It would be like my own little secret and if anyone complimented me on my lovely jewellery I could have a secret smirk "if only they knew the rest of the matching set"!
I have read that the nipple hurts 100 times more than a VCH is takes 100 times longer to heal, so if you had your nipple done I'm sure VCH will be a breeze compared.
