I REALLY want to get an industrial piercing, but my biggest worry is that I won’t be able to change the big barbell to two studs or two captive rings and have it look nice. This is important to me because I would like to work in a professional setting someday, and although I would like to be able to wear an industrial barbell most of the time, at places like work, or in a wedding for example, I would like to be able to change it to something more ‘normal’ looking like two rings or studs. I searched all throughout google images and couldn’t for the life of me find an image of an industrial piercing replaced with rings or studs. Could someone PLEASE post a picture of their instaurial piercing with rings in it, and another pic with studs in it? Just post a link on here so I can see it? If an industrial piercing doesn’t look good with rings/studs, should I just get a helix piercing? Because I know I want my cartilage pierced in some way, I would just really like an industrial. Could I get two helix piercings spaced a little ways away and put a barbell in them once healed? Someone help! And PLEASE post the pictures!! Thanks in advance! 10 months ago
I was super nervous when I got this done! It honestly hurt pretty bad (there were f-bombs dropped) but only for a second. I would highly recommend getting this, it’s pretty freaking awesome :3 11 months ago
I tried to get one of these yeas ago when I was in high school, but my mom denied me. Now that I’ve been out of the house for a bit, I’d love to get one! 12 months ago
so i finally went to this piercing and tattoo studio called “house of pain” (hahhaha ;]) and was ready for my industrial piercing. when the piercer told me that my ear wasn’t suitable for an industrial, it didn’t really surprise me, since the other studio already told me that it isn’t. so i spontaneously decided to get a helix forward and im veeeery content with the outcome :D
that’s how mine looks like too ;) 13 months ago
I really really want to get an industrial piercing. I am really determined to get it. I used to not think that it was cute, but now I think that it will look cute. I’ve been wanting this for abouta month now. The only thing is I dont know where is the best place to get it…but thats a place that is not too expensive. Im sorta afraid of the pain, but I think that ill be able to handle it…other than that Im all up to getting it and nothjing can stop me… if anyone has any contacts please contact me @ sanders_dru@yahoo.com 14 months ago
How I did it: after my GCSE's, wanted to treat myself as a way of leaving school and my mum said no to a tongue piercing, so i thought industrial made more sense since i'd wanted it for a while anyway.
I went to my regular piercer, but he was away but his friend was helping to run the shop, and she told me that piercer who was currently serving as a cover was doing a tattoo so there could be a slight wait; instead she directed me to her shop where I met with a very nice lady who did it for me instead :)
there was a slight problem afterwards as they didnt have a bar my size to accommodate with any swelling that might've happened, meaning i had to walk round with a long arse bar in my ear, but afterwards I came back to get it changed and it was all good! apart from the fact that when I came back to get it changed neither two women who knew me were there and this other woman charged me £10 for it which I don't really know would have happened if she knew I was pierced there but oh well! it's just slightly itchy now and then >..>

4 cheers . Comment
I got my industrial pierced on Novemebr 10, 2011 and it hurt like he**!!! But its so worth it!!! I love it. I changed the bar a little over a month after I got it.
I do have a question though, my bottom hole is totally healed, no pain, redness or anything but my top hole (my piercer pierced from the top down with a bar not CBR’s) is still a little puffy and swollen, and still tender. Is this normal? Im still cleaning with salt soaks and q-tips but its staying puffy and sore and its a little red still but just my top hole. Just wondering if this is ok and normal and when will that swelling go away and stop being tender 16 months ago
