Body Jewelry Gauge Chart

My pain chart/ list of mods | Tribalectic

Hey wint here new to this piercing blog. Just putting up my stats and pain associations with my piercings on a gauge of 1-10. 10 being the most painful. I'm listing in order I got them.

Septum- I got this piercing because I wanted to have a radical facial piercing but didn't want the parents to find out and I could hide this one. I got it pierced at 14 gauge and wore it flipped up in my nostrils for the entire healing process. Course parents found out anyways... LOL I give this piercing a 2 on the pain scale. Healing isn't terrible either just make sure to get the crusties off of the jewelry cuz that can hurt. Later I stretched it up to a 10 gauge. I took it out for a few months and thought it closed up but I put a tapered piece of jewelry in it after a hot bath and got a 14ga ring back in it. Then a few days later stretched it back up to 10.

Belly button- got this with an ex gf. I give it a 5 on my pain scale. I got it done at 14 gauge. The guy stabbed through twice. Guess my skins thicker there. Healing was awful. It constantly hurt and was inflamed. Took me a year to heal this one.

2 hafadas- done on the same day. Did it on a whim. Guy said he'd give me a good deal if I let him pierce my balls and viola! I had 2 12 gauge hafadas. Healing took about 7 months. Had a few scares that it was infected but it was just my skinny jeans annoying them. Basketball shorts are genital piercings best friend! I give these a 4 on my pain scale. Just a quick pinch!

Microdermal anchors in my back dimples- ok people these things hurt! A 10 on my pain scale! Tons of nerves in that area. I was kicking and moaning through it. Felt like he was digging round for an eternity. Healing was easy. Took a few months to heal

Microdermal on throat- this one is one of my favorites. Everyone asks me about it. I give it an 8 on my pain scale. Had a medium sized diamond for initial healing and then swithed to a ring about 7 months later. Needs pampering and salt soaks as it can get irritated in this high traffic area.

Apadravya- my most recent piercing. Walked into the shop to buy jewelry and came out with pierced fun bits. ;P I didn't think too much bout getting this one. I had 2 reasons for getting it. Both sexual ones. And since I recently had a break up I figured now is a good time to get this done. I got it done at 14 gauge. Healing is going well. I think I will gauge up to 10 gauge after healing. I give this a 9 on my pain scale. It is a very intense piercing but it only takes a quick second which I why I didn't give it a 10.
