The only piercings I have left are my dermal & belly ring now.

“let me try to take it out” when the guard can clearly see it’s IN her skin… 😭

“Let me gauge this one out real quick” 😬👀😂

Congrats on your recovery! You’re so strong and I wish you the best 2025

I'm with that second prisoner. I didn't think about the cost of the piercings and the wasted money either.

When I was arrested in 1996, I had over 50 piercings. I MASSACRED that comb lol - it fucked up my piercings though, and they became scarred from the rough comb teeth. Another time, I couldn't get my septum out, so I was put in isolation - cos I was a "risk" to the other inmates. Bullshit. Also torture.

I had a friend who went to jail, their commissary had optional clear/tan plastic jewelry available if she wanted to buy them. Because she had so many, she did end up using them.

I used pieces of comb. When I got caught I had to take them out and my third whole in my ears closed up in the back. I didn't get them repierced, but I did shove an earing through so hard it did *pop* back open. 😖

Omg another chest dermal girlie!!! I have three in mine! 😂😂 I hope I never have to be shocked back to life one day. Idk why but I’m scared of the scars I’d have from that

Bend over and cough sounds like the most violating thing ever. I know that they have inmates do this for a reason, but it’s still just so sick and intrusive to me.

A prison here in Oklahoma, where my girlfriend is incarcerated, allows nose, septum, earlobe piercings, and the jewelry that goes with them.

[YaMutha]

“I didn’t even think about that” GIRL THATS the reason I only have three piercings and two tattoos. THAT CRAP IS EXPENSIVE and I honestly did my ears myself 😂😂😂😂😂

[brent]

Just wanted to say congrats on your sobriety I'm still struggling but pasta stories are more of a relief then it is as a brag story

[Herb.exe]

My mother used the small prongs from the sporks. She would have them in whenever she could. That’s how she kept her lip rings, tongue piercing, and earrings

[V.I.C.]

Same girl!! Lost ALL my piercings too!! Lol i was pissed!! Lol

[DreamyWillow]

I love these so much. I love to learn more every single time. It's been amazing to know really good key informations just in case if this ever happens to anyone! ❤❤

[steph.olson]

when I went to jail the first time I just had got my belly button pierced and I was crying more about my belly button closing than getting out. Learned to snap the little teeth of the comb. Shoved it in and I still have my belly button pierced it to this day… 😂

[Fwugradiationheckker]

Hey!! It wont fully close depending on the piercing. Ive repierced my eyebrow which closed after a year, just using a close pin. No blood or tears. Obviously be safe and clean, but dont fret if your piercing closes as it might be able to reopen!

[lostinadream]

You still look like what you were. Unfortunately, it never goes away. Your body and face will always be a roadmap to where you've been and what you've done. Kudos for owning it

[BStorms]

they are inconsistent. They say you cant change your appearance and yet they force you to change and/or not maintain your appearance.

When I was a kid I went to visit my Dad in prison and I had gotten my ears pierced not too long before that, they wouldn't let me see him unless I removed the earrings and I was wearing a jumper, my mom had to get a jacket out of the car for me to wear, the lady officer got in my face and said I would never see my dad again if I took the jacket off. My ears got infected after that and I had to have them repierced and my grandma almost had her wedding ring cut in order to see her son because it wouldn't come off...
