19 Piercing Horror Stories That Will Make You Say "Nope"
“My nipple has looked like a half-chewed wine gum ever since..”

I let a girl in my college dorm pierce my cartilage with a gun she bought off the internet. I thought I was the coolest, but I ended up with a serious infection and flesh-eating bacteria that ate away the tip of my ear. I definitely learned an important lesson: Go to a professional so you don't lose any body parts!
On my 8th birthday me and my mum went to get my ears pierced. The woman who did it was new and pushed the back of the earnings on too tight. I didn't want to seem like a baby after begging to get them done, so even though it hurt I didn't say anything for two weeks. By that time the stud part of the earring had been into the inside of my earlobe. I ended up having to go to the emergency room when they couldn't get the back off they sliced open my earlobe, took the earring out, then stuck it back together. I never tried to get them pierced again.
