OR -Would I have to stop completely? And secondly I would like to open the general discussion of piercings and what they mean to you and your eating disorder? I know people use piercings as an award to getting to a goal weight. I know that people may not be as comfortable with getting such piercings as it emphasises "problem areas" like the navel. But I want to know your thoughts on this subject. And the answers to my questions obviously :)

Replies Catacomb Posted at 1:50 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 infection, dont you comprehend it rickyspeople Posted at 2:29 pm on Nov. 20, 2008 a healing piercing is an open wound that is constantly agitated. think of the effects that throwing up has on your body. you fuck up your esophagus, your enamel wears off and your teeth decay..what do you think happens to a wound when acidic stomach bile gets in it? W o n d e r l a n d Posted at 1:06 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 You would probally have to stop completly for quite some time because of the high risk of infection. Plus side it would probally hurt too much to eat for a while I got my belly pierced because I know belly rings look disgusting on fat people so there fore I had to loose weight to get it done. I had to take it out because of infection =[ My body hates piercings, getting my ears done was hell so as much as I want my nose done, I dont want an infection there Anonymous Posted at 12:14 pm on Nov. 19, 2008 Quote: from merryberrycherry at 4:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 and it is okay?? yea its fine Natsy Posted at 4:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 completely merryberrycherry Posted at 4:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 and it is okay?? Anonymous Posted at 4:02 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 i have a tongue ring and i have purged with it....but not until after like a month with it... Hyacinth Posted at 3:55 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 The stomach acid would infect the piercing, you would need to stop completely. k14nk Posted at 3:52 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LaMotta at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just stop!! this^ AcidSilence Posted at 3:51 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Hmm.. It could just fuck up the ring. And it might be nasty cause some of your vomit could get stuck around it. [you should dye your hair back blonde, btw] RoseBeautyMagical416 Posted at 3:51 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 I would stop with the purging, becuase it could infect your tongue piercing and more importantly it could affect your entire body... get help bigdutchman Posted at 3:50 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LaMotta at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just stop!! bingo.
