My nookie days are over,
My pilot light is out,
What used to be my sex appeal
is now my water spout!
Time was when, on its own,
from my trousers it would spring,
But now its just a full time job
to find the fucking thing!
It use 2 be embarrassing
the way it would behave,
For every single morning
it would stand and watch me shave!
Now as old age approaches,
it sure gives me the blues,
to see it hang its little head
& watch me tie my shoes!
Thinking of getting your body pierced? Go for gold body jewelry. It’s shinier, brighter and safer than many other metals. Body piercing takes a lot of guts to say yes to in the first place and if it’s gold jewelry that you have set your eyes on, than guts alone won’t be helpful. Gold body jewelry definitely costs much more then stainless or plastic body jewelry but it sure is worth every dollar spent!
And it’s your body so the piercing jewelry has to be gold, doesn’t it? Alright may be at least one. No other metal can surpass the luxury and royalty that gold possesses. Also gold being a lot safer adds to it’s indispensability in body piercing. So let’s talk about it and analyze:
Why opt for gold body jewelry?
Its safety is already talked about. There is one more thing - gold body jewelry for body piercing should be completely nickel free. Nickel is an impurity that may cause allergy to skin and even result in rejection of the the body jewelry. Also try and always buy 14K pure gold body jewelry.
Because there’s both white and yellow – Both white and gold body jewelry are great and look absolutely stunning on skin. White gold may be a tad rarer (and perhaps more expensive) than yellow but is awesome for both men and women.
Gold jewelry adds fashion and zing to personality – Nothing can beat a brightly shining piece of body jewelry glistening on your skin.
As the summer gets on and the more skin shows, have piercing with gold body jewelry may be a good idea! The above are reasons enough for us, hope they are for you too!

i’ve had a traditional PA for many years. it never seemed to take long to stretch up to the next size & (pardon the pun), but i was excited when the next bigger size slipped in!
i have always stuck with surgical steel for all my piercings (currently including 8 ga and 4 ga). For several years now, i have been able to use a 00g curved (banana) barbell but it does still get touchy when i leave it in for a while or if play gets heavy. i’m assuming because of the weight of the jewelry. i even toned down the actual length of the bar but that’s still a lot of weight on a tender, thin spot.
Should i switch to titanium (like the metal look) which is lighter or get myself pierced out the other side? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i love the larger size PA. BTW, any hints on stretching a reverse PA would be great as well. Still cant get anything larger than the original piercing (12g?) in even tho it’s been months now.

Hi,
Concerning PA stretching, especially for larger gauge (00 and beyond), – a painful pleasure as it simply is-, the utmost sensitive skin in the PA piercing will likely be irritated and possibly somewhat inflamed upon successful
insertion of the new, heavy jewelry.
The day after the stretching could become uncomfortable with sometimes extremely slow progress for less pain in days to come when jewelry moves or is bumped.
With heavy PA jewelry, wearing a jock strap with the jewelry nested down at the balls (rather than up) also helps manage less movement.
It is important to shower/bath jewelry morning and evening, for some type of tiny crust could develop and cause serious pain upon movement.
I also elected to use anti-inflammatory Ibuprofen 200mg 2x a day, and may be another one later in the night.
This does help amazingly but should not be taken with major alcohol consume; a small amount is ok and kidneys won’t “give up”.
My PA is actually an Apadravya (vertical through gland) and lends itself to heavy jewelry. A regular PA may not take the weight over time and rip open as it may migrate.
The Apadravya piercing therefore would be my recommendation in order to achieve higher, extreme goals.

Pre body piercing preparation is much easier than this tongue-twister-of-a-phrase. All it requires is a little bit of alertness, care and clear-cut know-how on part of the girl or guy deciding to take the pinch of the needle.
So what should you do to get your body piercing-ready? Follow the steps below and get all set for the sparkles 
- Binging on alcohol is definitely a no no. Not even if the binge was 48 hours before the piercing appointment.
- Go to the piercing parlor well hydrated and avoid taking blood thinning medication or other such foods. That means aspirin, Advil or Aleve.
- Stop taking caffeine several days before the actual piercing happens. Take Vitamin K as much you can. It’s needed for optimal piercing.
- Get enough rest the night before your piercing appointment. Nervousness won’t really help you much.
- Personal hygiene needless to say will come in very handy in fighting off the undesired things that may come along with body jewelry like infection.
- Right before you’re on the chair/table; try some breathing and relaxing exercises and be acceptable to the situation and remember that it’s only going to take a few moments.
Have a snack, fruit or juice after the piercing is done. It will help maintain the blood sugar level and will relax you a bit.
Pre-piercing prep is area-specific too. That means it depends on what part of the body are you getting the piercing done. So oral piercing, eyebrow piercing, genital piercing each will have unique preparations before the piercing. However, the basic points above also remain valid for all sorts of piercings.
A strange thing about belly button piercing is that it has more women takers than men. Ever wondered why? Also the men who get their navel pierced have to battle off strange stares and even stranger notions about them. Somehow, getting one’s navel pierced isn’t considered that manly.
Let’s look into the reasons of such a trend.
- Navel piercing seems to be women’s territory since the beginning. Everyone from top models to actresses, social butterflies and not to forget the trend setters – belly dancers have had their navel pierced. Perhaps it has something to with having a curvy waistline?
- There’s another generalization that works against men having a navel piercing. It’s always been beer bellies when it comes to men and belly buttons when it comes to women!
- Does hair make a difference? Women’s stomach’s aren’t hairy so they have all the more reason to show them off with some bling. Well guys can wax it off as well but still a women’s stomach is much smoother let’s face it.
Well guys who think they can pull it off should go ahead and get it! We are not really sure about how will it be received but if you think you’ve got it then people would do too. And the girls can continue to flaunt their navel piercings as usual!
Heard of nickel free body jewelry? Or may be just about nickel? Well, nickel is that metal that is merged with base metals such as gold and silver to create body jewelry that is harder, stronger and shinier. Nickel is also the one to blame for most all allergic reactions that people mistakenly think that any and every body jewelry can cause. It’s nickel that does the damage and which is present in regular jewelry that you buy off Mall Kiosks (Very Bad Idea) and other bargain stores.
That does not mean you stop buying but instead start buying smartly. So the solution is not to shun body jewelry but body jewelry with nickel! Nickel free body jewelry is your best bet and it’s not only different from regular jewelry in terms of quality, look but is a lot safer overall, and you will usually find that the manufacturers that use nickel free jewelry will also provide you a much better quality and finish because they care about quality more then price.
What makes Nickel free body jewelry safer?
Absence of nickel of course! Body jewelry made from Titanium and Nickel Free Gold is usually the safest materials to opt for because these contain zero nickel! These are a tad more expensive than body jewelry with nickel but what’s a little money when it comes to the safety of your body, right? And we all know how majority of us do not reject gold at all
Especially when the first cheap piece from the mall causes and infection so then you purchase another one from a different kiosk only to make the problem worse, so you go to another store and get what they say is the best, on and on. Sound familiar? How much did all of those pieces of junk that you can not even wear cost you?
The difference between nickel free body jewelry and normal jewelry lies also in being medically and legally endorsed. The former has a legal sanction, the latter carries a directive against (especially in Europe).
So opt for safety rather than getting an allergy. And with all the potential allergies (and their treatments) that nickel can cause, regular body jewelry may not turn out to be that pocket saving anyways. only shop with company’s that have your safety in mind such as wwwTheChainGang.com , where all of their jewelry comes from the USA or England.

This ain’t no emoticon but instead a new body piercing style! Want to add a little sparkle to your smile? Then the smiley piercing is for you. Also known as upper lip frenulum piercing, this piercing is one of the easiest to heal and involves minimum pain. The piercing is done on the inside of the upper lip (the webbing) and hence shows only when you smile.
Smiley piercing has surfaced recently and even has an antagonist to it – the Frowny piercing! Gaining popularity by the minute, many people are getting attracted towards smiley piercing due to a virtually painless procedure and obviously the shine it adds to your smile.
Captive bead ring is the most commonly used jewelry option for smiley piercing. Curved barbells have been known to be used as well.
Smiley Piercing – Smile your way out of the parlor
Since it does not really hurt much and heals quickly, smiley piercing may be the best way to get initiated into body piercing (just may be, rest depends on your choice). The piercing jewelry will fall below gum line and hence keeping gums and teeth clean (especially after meals) is very important.
Take care that there are no gum infections or damage to teeth. Touching/ playing with the jewelry is a total no no. This not only because your oral health is threatened but also the piercing jewelry may tear out!
Smiley piercing sure has a lot of takers lately yet its still rare overall. It’s body modification at it’s innovative best.
Body piercing has many takers and why not? It’s about being yourself, after all! However, sometimes even the greatest of things come with a few not-so-great risks and in body piercing these are a few (avoidable) problems.
When a piercing goes wrong it’s the pierced area that gets effected the most – sometimes serious and other times curable. That’s why it is mandatory to get body piercing done from a certified professional with great piercing skills and even a more hygienic piercing studio and tools.
Let’s take a look into what problems there can be and how you can avoid them.
Infections – Generally happens when the piercing is fresh and susceptible to bacterial and fungal invasions. Swelling, redness may result as the body fights them off. A discharge of puss is also common. A good clean up after piercing and compresses can help to prevent infection.
Metal Hypersensitivity – It’s nickel that causes it. Many people are allergic to nickel and hence the body rejects body jewelry with nickel in it, causing an allergic reaction. Go for nickel free body jewelry always or hypoallergenic metals.
Migration – Yes a piercing can move to another place. The piercing can travel through the skin and position in a different location other than the original. This is usually a result of improper piercing or a body’s reaction to body jewelry.
Scarring – The pierced area may appear scarred and different from the surrounding tissue. Scars become prominent when the piercing is removed.
Others could be skin abscesses, boils etc. Body piercing isn’t just problems but since there’s piercing, needle and skin involved you can’t really get out of it the way you went in. And if you ask those with piercings they will tell you how the passion and plenty of reasons-to-get-pierced easily outnumber these problems. Moreover, these can be easily avoided by being a little more aware and following healthy practices.
So don’t let these put you off, remember it’s about who you are and not what can go wrong.
