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.

Eyebrows and bellybuttons are about the only piercings that will grow out. I had my lip. septum and two piercings in my tongue, and still have the "scars" from them. The tongue and septum you can't notice, but my lip you can. Oh! Madisons (vertical or horizontal bar in the neck) will grow out too, but if not taken care of properlly, will leave a scar.

I currently have three tattoos myself, a giant fairy on the back of my right calf, the Om on the back of my neck, and crappy 10 year old wolf on my left ankle that I want to cover with the Bird of Paradise.

In two weeks I'm going under the needle for a picture of both Cheshire Cats (original Disney and one from McGee's Alice). Once you start, you just can't stop.

And healing piercings!! I almost forgot...use lavendar oil with your regular cleaning habits. Lavendar will speed the healing process up three fold, while ensuring you don't get any infections.
