I seem to have developed the family trait of metal allergies and can't wear earings any more - even titanium etc. Still okay with necklaces etc. Great post.

(And thanks for all the encouragement at my site.) I'm personally not into all this and part of that is because I'm a big baby, lol, I've always wanted more ear piercings but never can bring myself to put myself into a position where I voluntarily have pain, haha. Maybe one of these days I will go for my second hole in my ears but I'm too chicken to ever do my nose or anything else. Not to mention, I get way too many sinus infections ;-) I'm glad you could keep your special metal! Great post! (And thanks for all the encouragement at my site.)

I have a friend who has an anti-eyebrow, I think his has lasted 5 months so far, with no sign of rejection yet! Apparently surface piercings have a max of seven months, but if you remove them and get them redone under the scarred tissue they can, apparently, last longer than this. Hope that helps some. LOL! :D I expect to see pictures on this here blog if you do get an anti-eyebrow! :P They lasted about 5 months with me, which is good considering my body heals quickly and therefore is vulnerable to reject any foreign objects quickly… I have a friend who has an anti-eyebrow, I think his has lasted 5 months so far, with no sign of rejection yet!

Preserved it by going to be piercer every month to increase the bar length, and then - when I hit seven or so months - he put in a little tube to keep the hole open when it got unsafe to keep the barbell in. It still looked good until my surgeon BUTCHERED my belly-button last month. :( Bah. V xx Nope, I still have it!

Imo: Your Dad’s jar of metal sounds very impressive — I forgot to mention that my mum has also kept the stitches from the eye surgery that I had when I was 3. :eh: I’m very proud of my metal though and I should ever need any more surgery I’m going to make sure that they let me keep all the fun bits!

You rebel, you! ;) Have you still got it, or did you retire it when you were pregnant with Sam?

I only have five now, this being because I took my hip piercings out (they started to reject). It's amazing that your getting more done! I'm happy for you! :) I too had a first botched up job on my ear lobe, though I only got it redone recently! hah! :) Just in case your wondering, which I highly doubt you are, I have my lobe, helix, nipple, did have hips, and also a piercing on an unmentionable area! This metal belongs to ME! haha! I hope your other piercings go as well as this one seems to have gone! All the best! Awesome! I adore piercings!

It is not nice. :( The extent I can relate to you goes as far as a belly piercing twelve years ago. In my defense, that was before they were 'mainstreamed'. I always maintain that I was a trail-blazer! V xx p.s. Have you read my chapter yet?? And how was the critique I sent you ages ago? My scar is puckered. It is not nice. :(

However, I can quite understand why you keep your bits of metal - my dad had numerous knee operations resulting in the use of massive staples, pins, etc. until he finally had both knee joints replaced, and has proudly kept all his bits of removed metal in a jar, not dissimiliar to your own.
