For months and months at a time since I was about 15 (I'm now 20) I've had many difficulties sleeping. I go to bed and wake up at the same time every day and I removed my computer and television from...

Of course you can. The important thing is what the tattoo means to you.

No, minimum time before changing a belly bar is around 6-12 weeks. The full healing time of a naval piercing is 6 months-1 year. If you're so desperate to get it changed at least go back to the...

MAKE SURE YOUR PIERCING IS DONE WITH A NEEDLE AT A REPUTABLE PIERCING ESTABLISHMENT.
The pain is short and sharp. Afterwards, your ear will feel like its really hot and throbbing a bit and for the...

Thanks guys.
Tick, I've been taking my pulse regularly over the last month or so and it doesn't seem to change or anything - average pulse rate is around 94bpm.

I'm a 19 year old female at 5ft5 and weighing 8st9lbs.

I had my heart rate taken from laying down, sitting down and standing up and also had my blood pressure taken.

Laying down heart rate:...

With a gun, who knows. You could already have a blood born infection such as HIV or Hepatitis. WHO KNOWS.
Don't spin the stud, it'll create more scar tissue. Get rid of crust with a q-tip soaked in...

Do it gradually otherwise you'll mess your lobes up. Minimum wait should be around 2 weeks before you can up the size just keep them clean and don't knock them and they'll be fine.

You've been a great help

I'll try, how long do you think it will take to get my insides working as they should?

It's not painful and I have the opposite of diarrhea! I think I might not be getting enough fiber in my diet. I'm a student and all so I've basically being living off quick food for the last few...

Yeah, and I get really bloated even if I eat something like a packet of crisps or something.. Maybe my diet isn't good enough. Is it worth a visit to the doctor?

Whenever I lay on my stomach it feels like there are small gas bubbles popping, I can feel the pulse in my stomach and my ribs stick out a bit more than my stomach. The bubbles feel like they're...

Firstly, how could your horizontal lobe of been done by gun? The guns only hold small jewelry, not a barbell.

Secondly, you shouldn't of gotten it done with a gun, who knows what infections you...

It won't go in completely because the top ball is stopping it, it's too tight, you should go back to the piercer as soon as you can to get it sorted out.

There is a place for every person in this world in my opinion. Just because you don't fit in in one place doesn't mean you don't fit in place with the whole world.

It's sad to see so many teens diagnosed now a days.
Tick is right in asking your mum to read through the website and is also correct about depression, rehab and medication aren't good places to be,...

Write her a letter, that's how I told my Dad. Don't blame her for making you cut though, nobody makes you but yourself. Just explain everything to her. She can get you the help to stop and to make...

I guarantee if you get one now you will regret it. Why lose your mum's trust for you? Getting it done behind her back just shows you aren't responsible. You live under her roof, if she says no then...

Distracting yourself like arcticgirl suggested won't keep the feelings at bay forever. Wondergirl was right to ask those questions - there could be something deep down; unsolved questions in your...

It may be difficult, but tell them! One day you could regret it if you don't. Good Luck.

I've smoked weed since I was age 16 and I'm 19 now. It's always been an escape from the real world for me and it's not as if I sit on my backside all day and do nothing. It helps me function and...

Not put her on meds and perhaps instead of just giving her pills and defining her by a diagnoses ask her what she wants so do; whether it be therapy or medication.

Anywhere so long as your parents are with you. Also, I beg of you - go to a licensed piercing establishment and not Claire's. Make sure the piercing is done with a sterile needle.

In the UK, there is no age law for cosmetic piercings BUT no respectable piercer will pierce anyone under 16 (sometimes 18) without parental consent. In the US, it depends on what state you live in....

Treat it with tea tree oil, get a cotton swab and go over the bump with the cotton swab in the morning, have a shower in the evening and re-apply before bed. Do this for about 2 weeks, it should...

You shouldn't spend your life trying to convince people of your own personal views, accept that they have different views (whether you agree with them or not) and live your life how you chose to.
...

How old are you? Ask your mum the reasoning behind her decision to say no - it's probably going to be the regular "it looks disgusting", "it's only for one thing", "it damages teeth", etc. but there...

I guess this may be why I am always constipated and my stomach feels hard. Thank you. I'll have to work on a food diary or something.

So today, I have only eaten 2 scones and an apple, this was about 5 hours ago. It's now 1am and I sleep on my front, I'm getting really bad hunger pains and my tummy is making grumbly noises. I do...

Have you tried using sea-salt soaks or tea-tree oil? They seem to do the trick on most unwanted lumps and bumps on piercings..

NEVER get your body pierced with a gun. Guns can not be sterilized, they just wipe an alcohol wipe over it which by the way doesn't kill blood born pathogens such as HIV (aids) and hepatitis. Also,...

Okay then. They should mean something to that person - why would you ask the question if you weren't getting one or was it to form an opinion based on other people's opinions?

Any tattoo that...

For me the top most painful were the inside of my upper inside arm, my nipples, under my breast so the ribs and the top of my spine. Like altenweg said - it's more of an "annoyance", mainly the...

It shouldn't matter what we think; it's your tattoo and your body. If the passage/phrase/line has a meaning to you then that's all that should matter.
(and your age of course!)

As Tinkerbell said, it could be the piercing place that actually gave you the infection in the first place with un-sterile equipment. I'd search online and find a reputable piercing/tattoo parlor in...

I have a high pain tolerance and have had over 16 piercing procedures done, my tragus was probably 3rd most painful behind nipple and sternum. Just breathe and have someone's hand to hold. You'll be...

It starts about an inch above my belly button and a finishes 2/3 inches below my belly button. Its been going on for about a week or so but not this bad at all. Very difficult to pass excriment but I...

I got into bed tonight and was laying on my stomach and I started to get a sharp pain in my central lower abdomen, I sat up and felt nauseous and had very short breaths and felt like I had forgotten...

The redness should've gone down, you probably just tore the wound open a little more but don't worry. Try not to cover it in make up either because you don't want anything getting into the open...

Thank you joypulv.

I had my period in May and June and my July period is due tomorrow.

My mood swings/mood instability are down to my mental illness and the pill made me have more low points...

I stopped the pill in February, the intercourse in question is from April.

No, I haven't been on medication for 2 years. Took tegretol from age 15 to 17

I posted a few weeks back wondering if I was pregnant. I have borderline personality disorder so some of the symptoms of possible pregnancy would be masked such as fatigue and mood swings. I didn't...

I've heard h2o isn't that great for piercings and rubbing alcohol certainly isn't because it dries out the skin and piercing - it may be killing bacteria but its killing not just the bad bacteria but...

A tattoo or specialist piercing parlor is your best bet. Anywhere else like somewhere in the mall and your piercing is likely to be crooked or done with a gun which is the worst thing you can do. A...

Use tea-tree oil, it works an absolute treat on scarring. Just put a Q-Tip cotton swab into tea-tree oil and gently wash over the scarring - once in the morning and then have a shower in the evening...

Could be anything around 1mm. My tragus was a 1.2 and my anti-helix was a 1.4 so I suggest going back to your piercer and asking them.

Remember though, you MUST wait a minimum of around 10 weeks...

For the swelling just take some over the counter ibuprofen. It will go down eventually.

Totally agree with FadedMaster, I can not stand that emo" is something that was music and developed into some "style".

You don't have to be "emo" to get snakebites, anyone can get them.

Why...
