Question #1:

can you use a real captive ring if you don't have a peircing?

i'm going to a themed party and i need a fake lip/tongue piercing. i've read that you can get a captive ring and take off the bead and just put it over your lip? idk, can you do that? i don't even know what a captive ring is, i've looked it up but i'm still confused. please help.

Question #2:

How long can i take my tongue piercing out/off? -Without being closed-?

Supposedly, im getting my tongue pierced. I asked my parents [who are divorced] my Mom approved but my father didnt. He's travelling right now and he wont be back for FOUR MONTHS.
My mom said that some family member wont approve but im not taking their permission i just dont want to feel like a freak [they're kind of religious-Uncles and grandma] i see them every friday anyways.

MY QUESTION IS; should i get it pierced and remove the ring every friday so they wont see it?
and after 4 months, can i remove the ring for a day or so?
and how long can i get it out? and after how long?

I KNOW I HAVE TOO MANY QUESTIONS BUT PLEASE ANSWER ME SERIOUSLY.
thanks

Question #3:

My tongue is white. Could sombody help me please?

I've had this for years now. Maybe 5, 6, 7... It's been too long. I've Googled this a couple of years ago and all I could find was: "Brush your tongue aswell as your teeth and it should disappear in time." I've been following this ever since: I brush my tongue for as long as it takes to be perfectly "normal", which can sometimes take up to a minute or two. I do this in the morning, at night it becomes white again and vice versa. But I think it becomes whiter during daytime than it does overnight.

I have also noticed big spots at the back of my tongue. I want you to trust me on this, they aren't taste buds as I've read a lot of times when I tried Googling it. I am so sure because of two facts: They are for one much much bigger (about, maybe 1.5 ~ 2 mm in diameter, didn't measure of course, I can't shove a ruler down my throat) and two, when my tongue becomes white there are like sorts of "rings" around my spots which don't go white and stay red, like the spots themselves.

I can't feel the spots or anything but I actually remember having a sore throat one day when I was about 7, and after several days when it didn't heal even though my father gave me medicine, he took me to a doctor and this doctor mentioned something about spots at the back of my mouth but I was going to be OK. I am just saying, if it's actually the spots I am talking about, then who knows for how long I might have had these. I am going to be fifteen this year by the way.

There is a girl at my school who I really like and it's keeping me from asking her out. I mean it already grosses me out so I wouldn't expect her to like it either, but most importantly, what if it's contagious...?

If someone could please tell me what this is and how I can solve my issue, I will in real honesty be eternally grateful.

Thank you very much for taking your time in reading.

Question #4:

how do you kiss with a tongue ring?

i recently got my tongue pierced about... 2 weeks ago. since then, i havent tongue kissed anyone lol but i just want to know from peoples experiences
will it make a difference?
do i have to change the way i french kiss?
will it be awkward for the first few times? thanks

Question #5:

hard crater around my tongue piercing wont go away.?

I got my tongue pierced about three weeks ago and I made the mistake of changing it early. Now I have a crater type thing in my tongue, yes I know that that's normal but from the inside of my tongue is a hard ball kind of, more like a cylinder around my tongue ring that goes all the way to the crater. I was told by the piercer that I couldn't change it until two weeks after, unfortunately I was to impatient and changed it on the fifth or six day. Please don't tell me that it was stupid to get it pierced or how dumb I was to change it early, cause I like it. Anyways. The reason why I changed it early was because when I had that long barbell in it irated my glands on the bottom of my mouth so bad that they swelled up at least three times the size and it was very painful. When I did change it, it didn't bleed or hurt or anything when I put it in. I didn't have to push it threw either it just slid right in so I don't really think that was the problem. So it's just I hate the feeling of the hard cylinder around it, it seems like it has gotten a little smaller but not completely gone. Oh by the way the swelling from the piercing is all gone. But every morning when I wake up it's a little sore and swollen. After about an hour its gone down. Then it sometimes pusses VERY VERY little. So I'm not to worried about that. Just the cylinder thing. Could it be that my body is rejecting it? So please Seinee just help me.

Question #6:

Question #9:

How is this story for a sophmore is high school!?

I have never kissed anyone, so I am just guessing here! And it won't make sense cause it is taken out of page like 20! Here it is! rate 1-10 and tell revisions and how to help my writing stlye and voice! thank you for your time!



“I think that basketball hit your head pretty hard.” Ross joked as he followed me into the house.
"I need an ice pack for my head I think." I said as Ross and I walked into the kitchen.
“Yep, I'll get it" Ross murmured as he rummaged through the freezer.
"Good. Do you want a snack?" I asked.
"Sure." Ross murmured.
“How about some home-made Rice Krispies?!” I asked in a fake excited voice I copied from commercials as I reached towards the box of Rice Krispies cereal with pictures of happy elves on it.
I turned around, but he was behind me; vaguely reminding me of my dream. He was much closer to me than normal, and he was walking closer. It took me a moment to realize what was happening. He was staring at me with his deep eyes, almost asking permission. A small smile came on his face as he pressed the ice against my cheek and I involuntarily shivered. I heard the ice pack hit the ground as his hand replaced it. The sound it made seemed to ring across the empty room. Ross's hand was still on my sore check, but his eyes were not on my eyes anymore; they were on my lips.
I had no idea what to do about this because he was my best friend, but he was about to cross that fragile line of our friendship and I knew that I couldn't do anything about it. I had kissed a guy before, but not anyone like Ross or Ross; he was too perfect to hurt. If I hurt him he would never come back, I knew that much. I knew that everyone that said Ross liked me was right; I had just turned a blind eye to it. I wasn't ready to lose Ross.
“Anastasia,” Ross whispered and leaned his forehead against mine. It seemed to take ages for his lips to reach out to mine. Finally they touched, and it was the sweetest kiss I’ve ever had.
He didn’t break away and I dropped the box of Rice Krispies, then he cupped my bruised cheek in his gentle hands. He was a bit clumsy at this since it was his first kiss, but then again, I probably was too since my only other kiss was three years ago. I still hadn’t responded, and Ross almost pulled back until I wound my arms around his neck and began to kiss him back with fervor.
Slowly, gently, and slightly clumsily, he ran his tongue over my top lip. I opened my mouth to his, and we forgot the rest of the world; only the sweet bliss of the moment. His hands left my face as one pulled my waist, bringing me close to him, and the other he wound into my hair when we heard someone clear their throat. Immediately, we both jumped back, and I bumped into the open cupboard behind me, breaking the silence with a clank as it swung closed.
“Mrs. Balster! Umm…I was just…reaching down…to grab these…” said Ross; as he reached down to grab the ice pack and box of Rice Krispies. There was an awkward silence as Ross cleared his throat and left. As soon as he was out the door, my mom turned on me.
If you look on my profile page, I have a lot of other sections from the story...And I am in band, therefore a geek no name...and geeks have a life! :)

Question #10:

What do you think of this so far? Be truthful pleasel!! Is it rubbish?

So I'm just starting to write the beginning of a story. I've always liked it, but I was just never really sure whether I was good at doing it or not. I'm am thirteen, so don't expect a work of art! But constructive criticism would be appreciated! Thanks!

‘It’s just the way you smile...It’s perfect...’

His words replayed in her mind, as they had been, non-stop, for the past three hours. She closed her eyes, wishing more than anything that his tender voice would leave her mind long enough for her to get some sleep.

‘...The way my heart goes mental when I see you...’

The girl began to roll onto her side restlessly -in slight hope that she’d be able to get more comfortable- but didn’t get very far because of the bounds connected into her body. Hell, she’d have pulled away from all the constricting wires and turned on her head in the middle of the floor if it worked to make her sleep.

‘...How I can’t help but catch my breath when I look into your eyes...’

She didn’t just hear his voice. All the little things came back to her too. Tiny details she wouldn’t have even thought of again, had this not happened. Like the sound of the rain as it pattered heavily on the windshield. How he’d looked apologetic for the weather, how she enjoyed their evening none-the-less. The chill that had entranced her bare arms and gave her goose bumps.

‘God...You’re so beautiful...’

How she had nervously picked at her nails, beginning to get suspicious of his intentions. How nervous he looked. The way his lips turned softly into a smile. The guilt she had soon felt after, thinking such bad things of him. The scream she couldn’t get out of her mouth quick enough.

‘...I just can’t seem to get you out of my thou-’

The initial impact of it all. The way she was violently thrown forward, then back. The way her vision went all blurring for a moment, then how the light dimmed down then slowly back to the same as before. The way all she could hear was a ringing sound for a while. How the first real thing she did hear was the kind of sound you expected to hear at the cinema, with lots of hushed talking and that one group of people who were always louder than the rest. How she sat there, pinned to her seat by the shock of it all. How it was only until a salt tear ran into her mouth did she realize she was crying.

The girl pressed her hands to her temples, trying to think of anything but what had happened less than five hours ago. She, again, realized she was crying when she tasted salt.

‘Someone call for help! HURRY! This boy looks extremely injured!’

Then it wasn’t just salt the she tasted, it was faintly metal. Soon enough, she realized that she had bitten her tongue that hard she was bleeding.

‘Are you okay? Where do you hurt?’

She began to dig her fingers into her eyes sockets, trying to erase the memories. But the picture seemed to be imprinted on the back of her eyelids.

The way the doctors had looked down at Daniel doubtfully in the Ambulance, then at each other, then finally at her. Not saying anything.

The way it felt when they told her he didn’t make it.

Suddenly the room got very hot and the wires that were on the girl’s body seemed to be constricting her, holding her close to the bed. She struggled to move, to drag air into her lungs. She was panicking, she knew it. But she couldn’t stop the tears that rolled down her flushed cheeks. ‘I’m so sorry ...’ She began clawing at her needle that was dug in her hand. Pulling a clip off of her finger and chucking it down. Beep. Beep. As she did a regular beep rang out from a machine that she hadn’t notice that was next to her. Just adding to more noise is her chaotic mind. Beep. Beep. ‘Painless... Very quick...’ In her haste to untangle herself from this awful place the girl had jerked her head back and wacked it on metal railing behind her. ‘...Instant...’ Beep. Beep. Beep. She cried out, fresh tears springing to her eyes. Beep. Beep. ‘He wouldn’t have felt a thing.’

Abruptly the mahogany coloured door was shoved open and two women in very light blue uniforms came rushing in. The girl twisted and turned, screaming so loud it made her throat sore as soon as she began. She just wanted this to stop, she wanted sleep. Needed it, even. Wanted to be able to rest for five minutes. They approached quickly, swiftly. Beep. Beep. Beep. Holding her down, one of them forced the needle back into the back of her hand which hurt like hell then she picked up the clip and put it back on her finger.

‘Calm down.’ The second woman said soothingly. Take deep breaths.’
The girl couldn’t manage to slow her breathing, and she was still fidgeting on the bed. The woman who was still holding her down nodded to the first one and she swiftly disappeared. She soon came back with a syringe in her hand and the girl began to tremble and again tried to turn away, sit up, roll over and off the bed, anything to get away from the woman.

She felt a sharp prick in her left upper arm and very quickly felt exhausted. Her limbs relaxed and she slumped back into the thin mattress and her eyes drooped. She had escaped Daniel’s haunting voice at last. Would finally get the sleep she desperately needed. The two nurses turned and walked out of the room. The girl was asleep before the door was even shut behind them.
Even though her body was absolutely exhausted and completely drained of energy and despite the fact that she was now in a deep dreamless sleep, the girl’s mind somehow managed one harsh final blow at her. Only, this time it was different. It was not Daniels soft voice, or the loudly spoken man in his mid-thirties who had first found them or even of any of the multiple doctors she had spoke to, or rather, been spoken at by. The voice that rang out in bitterness was one that was the voice she heard most often. The last voice she was expecting to hear it from. And although what it said what unexpected it stuck in her mind, and she knew from that moment on, that she would believe what it had just spat at her in malice forever.

‘It’s all your fault...’

The voice was her own.


Also, I don't know how to end this bit. Should I do the ending there, or : 'The voice was hers.' Or 'The voice belonged to her.' ??

Question #16:

tongue ring and liquor, bad mix?

im getiin my tongue pierced on my b,day n later that tight im goiin to party which includes drinking is that bad for my tongue ring?

Question #17:

How do I take the balls off my tongue ring?

I want to change it , or at least put a different ball on the top , but I can't get the balls of , bottom or top ! I already tried latex gloves , I've held the barbell between my teeth , I cannot get the balls off ! Help :( & don't give me rude sh*t about how I shouldn't have got it done in the first place & that when I finally do get it out to leave it out . I got it because I wanted to , & some dumbass strangers' opinion isn't going to make me take it out , so keep your sh*t to yourself .

Question #18:

What's the difference in placing of tongue rings?

I've heard that some piercers ask if it's for decoration or function. (and yes, I do know what that means)

I also heard somewhere that if it's for "function" they put it closer to the tip of your tongue?

BUT, I ALSO heard :) that the closer it is, the more damage it can do to your teeth, because it clicks against your front teeth more.

Could someone give me some information about if and why it's placed differently? And which is best?

Thanks!

Question #19:

How long does it take for tongue ring holes to heal completly?

I really want to get a tongue piercing within the next 2 weeks. I know I'll be able to keep it for like 6 years, but after that, I dont think I could due to my career choice. Do you know how long it takes for the hole to close and heal once I take it out? Will the hole be visible?

Question #20:

Can nurses have tattoos?

Right now I only have one tattoo on my foot. That can easily be covered, because I'm going to wearing clogs anyways, but can nurses have a tattoo on their wrist or something?
How about tongue rings?
Cartilage piercings?
