Wait a minute. A bare shoulder and a hint of boob counts a naked?! How very Victorian.

BTW, did you by any chance play Jan Brady when you were younger?

Kidding. It was a nice pic.

MY name-calling?

I'm not letting it go, here or anywhere else. I dont put up with shit like that. I dont let homophobia go quietly. I fight it.
YOU stop ruining this otherwise civil forum with YOUR bigotry.

No, I was not Jan Brady, you dope!

And I'm bare under there, you just can't see it. Fortunately for you.

That pic was taken as a gag for my "home" forum friends, when we were daring each other to post nakie pics. Can't remember why the beer, though.

Don't have my septum pierced anymore.

:)

Nice pic but hardly nakie! :D

I wondered how they would ever let you get away with that at the law office. :)

Oh, the beauty of a septum piercing is you can hide it! That little piece of jewelry flips right up inside the nose and you can't see it at all. A perfect piercing for professionals.

Will probably get around to getting it repierced. Don't particularly like the look with that jewelry, but it gives me creds in the bodymod world.

I'm gonna clank in my casket.

I would think you would have trouble breathing out with some of the larger stuff like 0. That would drive me crazy.

I know people who have large gauge septum piercings, and they say not. Larger gauges tend to smell pretty bad, though.

I wonder why that is, maybe bacteria gets down in the threads or something. We wash them out with hydrogen peroxide every now and then. I would think regular cleaning would eliminate that issue.

Well, no-- it's like toe jam, or navel lint. A healed piercing exudes sebum, a waxy secretion from the skin, plus dead skin cells, etc. We call it "the funk" and it occurs on all healed piercings--it's one of the ways you can tell it's healed. Regular cleaning of healed piercings is very important, but it still occurs.

The hydrogen peroxide will work well for cleaning it off your jewelry. Just be sure not to use it on acrylic, because it will melt.

Personal habits, i.e., not eating lots of crap, keeping hydrated, etc. will make the body smell sweeter (piercings or not).

I didn't know that. Thanks.

Vitamin E oil works too -keeps it from building up in the first place. I had to use that when I had some piercings. No, not that kind - 4 steel screws attaching various pieces of arm bone to an aluminum frame. Now that was a fun summer. To have a six-month old.

Well darn. That talk did kinda ruin the moment... and to think, I was contemplating posting some nekkid (or partially nekkid) pictures since my co-workers aren't on here anymore. :p

Please, please, please?

Oooh, do some in just that corset without the T-shirt....
