I am considering getting a piercing and have done some research on the new (bme.zine etc) but would like to hear from those that have direct experience. I have 5 tattoos but as yet no piercings (I know, very remiss of me) and thought that an eyebrow or nipple would look good.

Which is better? By that I mean easiest to look after for a piercing newbie like me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I have heard that eyebrows grow out after a while and can be a hassle to keep clean. What healing time can I expect? And what do I need to do to clean it while is heals?

Obviously I will discuss this with the guy at the tattoo/piercing place before I get it done, but a little info up front is always handy.

Any other Body Modders here? What have you had done, or are planning to have done?
I have 5 tattoos - Eastern Dragon, Chaos Star, Celtic Cross, Celtic Band and Tribal Design.

Have you gotten your piercing done yet? What did you decide?

The only things I have pierced are my ears (sorry can't help you one exotic piercings) When you have your modifications done, the piercer will tell you his (or her) reccommendations for care. Some will say to use peroxide, some will say to use alcohol, some may tell you something else (but those are the two most common that I have heard. My ex (who is a body mod specialist) prefers peroxide, although I would caution it as peroxide is necrotic to body tissues, if you use it, be sure to clean the skin with water afterwards. When I had my ears done, I used normal saline to keep them clean, it works wonderfully well, it doesn't sting and it is non-necrotic.

At the moment, I have 12 tattoos and yeah I need some more. I have 2 water dragons, one tribal fire dragon, a tribal rose, baphomet, ritual blade, moon, demon, gryphon, demon skull, skull of ur, and a ritual tribal design.
