Belly piercing at 16.
AppId is over the quota
By Brianna from Cameron.
For my 16th birthday my mom wanted to do something special since I wasn’t able to get my liscence so she asked if I wanted to get my belly button pierced and of course I said yes, I was so excited!
My mom did the research and we decided to go to eau claire which was an hour away. We took my mom, my boyfriend and my moms best friend. I wasn’t nervous on the way there but as soon as we got there I was really scared. I walked in there and it was really nice inside.
the guy was kind of scary because all his tattoos and he had bumpy implants in his arm, but he was super nice. I got to pick out the jewelry and the guy led me and one person into the back room. I picked my boyfriend.
He showed me everything was starile and had me stand up so he could put the dot on my tummy. it looked good so i layed down on the table. He didn’t use a clamp. i thought he was just poking me with the needle to position it but it turns out he was piercing it! I was so surprised.
It was not as bad as I thought.
He told me to wash it twice a day with nonscented soap. it actually took a while to heal, almost 6th months, but i changed it almost right away which wasn’t a good idea. I love it so much. I love changing it and stuff. my favorite belly button ring was only $6. I plan on getting more piercings. I’m actually getting my tragus done in less than a week, and I’m really nervous about how bad that will hurt.
After my belly button piercing everyone wanted to take pictures and stuff. We went out to eat at olive garden and it didn’t hurt to sleep on at all. Just a little sore, especially when it caught on my clothes :/ I like telling people the story, because I want them to have a good piercing experiance too. Hope this helps (: x.

Once bitten: the new aesthetics and standards of the lip piercing
One of the biggest trends in the piercing in the last few years has been the introduction of new and interesting forms the lip piercing. Of the increase in the use of circular lip jewelry, to the growing popularity of more lip piercings, it is certainly no secret that the "bite" a big bite out of alternative fashion. The first of the bite piercings furore is undoubtedly the "snake bite" (shown above); simple, sweet and quickly to the point suitable Labret piercings on either side of the lip. The opposite of this piercing, which even in the mainstream in recent years slipped, the Angel bite is. This is a further set of matching piercings on every page, but instead of the lower lip, that they are penetrated over the top.
Next, we have in the line-up, the "Cyber bite piercing," has the momentum (especially in the indie-music culture) together with the components that create them. The piercing, this at the bottom of several cyber composed is of course the standard Labret, but the upper part of this cute and interesting piercing "Medusa" is less well known, a bow and the septum piercing delle between the upper lip. Although generally valid as shown here, you can use the Cyber-bite piercing with any combination of the vertical versions of these piercings, i.e. a vertical Labret and a Jestrum that created vertical version of a Medusa piercing.
Other popular lip piercings, which increasingly teenage fashion power are the ones where double piercings stacked "bite spider closer together than in earlier decades, such as the" piercing shown below. If the spider bite is in the middle of the lower lip a-la-David Draiman from the rock band disturbed, then it will be a "Dolphin-bite" piercing and if there are two groups it has named a "shark bite."
And last but not least we have the most recent developments in lip piercing as the "dahlia bite". Shown below is the dahlia bite an interesting and fairly obscure set of lip Piercings with a clumsy macabre history. This little beauty (this is not without it charms, especially when pierced on a beautiful woman), it takes the name from the notorious and gripping story of the Black Dahlia murder, an old Hollywood tragedy, which reimagined on the screen just a few years ago. The piercing itself is a reference to the dark side of the retro fashion, a trend that has resolved recently. Others less mainstream "Bites" are the dogs bite (a number of Angel bites as well as a number of snake bites) and the "T-Rex bite".
With so many new piercings coming over the line of the mouth almost any type is now supported by body art in the lips. Newsletter (horseshoes, ball prisoners, segment-rings), ball studs and lippy loops, the loop on the lips, the appearance of a vertical standard type piercing are among the more commonly seen and accepted.

The Buffalo Infringement Festival: Wild & Free and Made for “We”
My favorite time of the year for the last seven years has just wrapped up and I’m still reeling from the amazing energy force that is the Buffalo Infringement Festival or BIF (for short). When you can walk down the street and see a play, hear a poetry reading, watch an independent film, watch some people having an impromptu parade, stop and jam with the street buskers and then end up in the park to see a group of fire dancers flipping fire into the air, all in the span of a few hours, you know you’ve landed in the middle of BIF.
The idea of an Infringement Festival was conceived in 2001 by a theater group in Montreal who perform a show called Car Stories. They were performing in the Montreal Fringe Festival when some of their material (controversial–politically and socially) was deemed “unworthy” by the corporate sponsors of the Fringe festival. The Car Stories show was kicked out of the festival, despite paying their exorbitant entry fees. The Car Stories group, including the illustrious Jason McLean, decided that they were not going to let corporate disapproval stop them from performing their street theater and they came up with the idea of an Infringement Festival, to provide an outlet for all the other “subversive” arts groups who didn’t fit into the corporate mold and in 2004, the first official Infringement Festival was born. They had several conditions in the Infringement Festival mandate to keep it true to its roots. These conditions were that it would always be free for all artists to sign up, that everyone who signs up will be accepted, that the fest would be organized by a non-hierarchical collective group (no one person in charge), that it would encourage art that challenged the social normatives, that artists would keep all the proceeds from all of their performances and, most importantly, that no corporate sponsors would be allowed to dictate show content, ever.
During the first Infringement, a theater enthusiast from Buffalo, named Kurt Schneiderman, happened to be in Montreal performing in the aforementioned Fringe Festival when he came across the group of Infringers and immediately knew that this was an idea that HAD to be implemented in Buffalo, NY. So directly upon returning home, Schneiderman began work on what would (one year later) become the first ever Buffalo Infringement Festival. The first year (2005) had 44 different acts performing 144 performances in 11 different venues throughout Buffalo’s historic Allentown district, all on a fundraised budget of $49! I was so fortunate to be a part of the inception as a lowly poet girl speaking my soul out in a parking lot for 11 straight days. The experience changed my life forever.
After the first year, the spark of BIF flew through the arts community of Buffalo and by the second year, the number of acts and venues had doubled, I’d become a much bigger part of the organizing process and we started having real fundraisers to make the fest happen, raising the money one dollar at a time from the same people who attend the festival events. Each year, BIF has grown exponentially, expanding not just in size, but dimension—be that the number of venues or the content of the art. BIF has redefined the meaning of art for a lot of people.
This year’s festival was the biggest yet with 1,200 separate performances in 50 venues across the traditional 11 days. These included 190 musical acts, 24 film and video productions, 20 dance troupes or individual dancers, 53 visual artists putting their work on display, 35 separate theater productions and 27 poetry and spoken word performers. This year, Infringement was hard to ignore as it took over the streets and almost every inch of sidewalk up and down the Allentown district was full of people, laughing, playing music, drawing mandalas on the sidewalk, hula-hooping, juggling fire and more.
There is really something inspiring about bringing art directly to the people, incorporating social and political change into the content, and literally changing the landscape around us to create a better world. That being said, BIF tends to bring out all the freaks and the geeks (most of whom are artists of some type anyway) and there was quite a bit of photographic evidence of that this year. I will let the photos speak the thousands of words that I could try to use to describe the enormous impact that this festival has on my city and my life. I challenge all of you to start your own Infringement Festival in your city, your town, your world. Rally the artists and bring the art to the people. Happy Infringing!!
