-- Posted by merryberrycherry at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 First of all I would like to ask questions: -What would lots of purging do to a tongue piercing? -Would I have to stop until it has healed? 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 :) -- Posted by La Motta at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just stop!! -- Posted by Live Just To Die at 3:50 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 I would stop completely anyway. But yeah it might effect it. -- Posted by bigdutchman at 3:50 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LaMotta at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just stop!! bingo. -- Posted by RoseBeautyMagical416 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 -- Posted by AcidSilence 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] -- Posted by k14nk at 3:52 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Quote: from LaMotta at 3:49 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 Just stop!! this^ -- Posted by Hyacinth at 3:55 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 The stomach acid would infect the piercing, you would need to stop completely. -- Posted by Anonymous 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... -- Posted by merryberrycherry at 4:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 and it is okay?? -- Posted by Natsy at 4:03 pm on Nov. 18, 2008 completely -- Posted by Anonymous 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 -- Posted by W o n d e r l a n d 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 -- Posted by rickyspeople 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? -- Posted by Catacomb at 1:50 pm on Nov. 22, 2008 infection, dont you comprehend it
