dave, I had mine for probably about a year and a half and they were never really happy. I found out later that the lady who pierced mine did them at a size way too small for nipples and I was going to gauge them up (ick, stretching nipples still doesnt sound nice) but Im going to be getting a dog soon and Ive had dogs pretty much punch me in the chest before and kinda rip my nipple a little bit so I just decided to take them out. I really loved them and now I feel a little too normal... They were a pain in the ass though. My daith is probably my favorite piercing besides my tongue im sad you lost yours!

What are your meanings on using aloe vera on healing tattoos? I've read that you're not supposed to use it, since it has enzymes that eat away dead skin cells. Which are the tattoo yet to be sealed in. Others say it heals it fast and perfectly fine. Many tattoo ointments has aloe in it, so it could be I've just read some propaganda. I use a gel with aloe and some propolis in it though. And that fly is cool : p

Thought I'd share a photo of my lower back tattoos - they're f holes but with vines! Also, I can't believe how long my dreads are... Lately I've been feeling like they're suddenly quite long

I really want more in my ears so will probably do that next pay check.
I've got nipples done (one did rip out though) belly button and tongue. Retired my nose piercing and regret it so will probably get it redone but ooh the pain.
Love my tattoos. Think I shared them on this thread already. Can't wait for more!

I had both my nostrils and my medusa but retired my nose ones a few days ago. I want my nipple done! Did it hurt? I didn't think not nostrils or my medusa hurt that bad.

alethionaut nipple ripped out?!!!!! Oucchhhh. It seems weird for a guy but i have overly sensitive nipples. To the point if someone touches them my adrenaline starts pumping and i grit my teeth in anger. They are actually becoming less sensitive nowadays. But still I dont even like typing about it. Haha

It was fine actually I barely felt it at the time! I've got a funny scar now, but that's the only issue.
The only piercing that hurt me was the nose. Ouchies

The nips were the most painful of my piercings (ears, nips, PA).

I'm with Gingerdreadman, I could not even imagine getting my nips pierced. They are super sensitive. I shudder even thinking about it. Besides my ears, all I have is a septum piercing. I had my nose pierced twice but its like my body rejected it, it never really healed, my nose was always red & flaky. The last time I had it done, I left the ring in for 9 months solid & it still closed as soon as I took it out.

Nips are most painful for guys xD I almost punched the piercer.. But they also had the least problems healing (until recently..but they recovered!) As for sensitivity, nip piercings can either increase or decrease sensitivity (or kill it altogether :s)
I also have super fast healing piercings - if my septum or nose rings fall out, they heal up within hours and need repiercing with a sewing needle xD

The only ink that doesen't sit well, is the white. For some reason, only the black has scabs. I use my facewash without sulfates to clean it, and then the aloe/propolis gel after more than 5 minutes air drying. So wash it like 1-2 times and moisturize once a day. I'm kinda horrified that the the tatto artist didn't say that I should stay clear of SLS. I imagine that strips the tattoo straight away
