I'm having body defacing withdrawals ^^;

Be careful that it's not a spontaneous thing with stretching because I knew a dude that looked like he had a dog's a**ehole in his earlobe. He had it done all legit, just decided he didn't like it 10 years later lol

That is what piercers refer to as the Cat's Ass look.

It CAN be avoided...it just takes a LOT of work. It used to happen a lot more often than it does now, becuase mod techniques and technology is evolving a lot faster now than it used to. Remember when we all had our ears pierced by guns?

Some people's bodies just aren't made for mods...stretching especially. If you start small and have problems, best not to keep going.

But Ja, as CrazyLady said, make it something you've thought through very carefully. Piercing and body modifications of any type should not be spontaneous. I consider my piercings the same way someone would consider a tattoo. A bit anal, yes, but the health and healing of my body matters to me and I want to know all the risks and possibilites before I get something done, rather than after.

Depending on the size you want you can skip all the "stretching" and have it done with a dermal punch, but you kind of have to be sure about size because it isn't recommended to stretch past that because of scar tissue.
