Honest John 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 In England right now there's just so many women getting pierced right there, and I really hate it I think it looks stupid. Has this craze reached Japan at all? Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Not seen many - only a few on young celebs, who are generally the only ones who show off their bellies. Well, round here anyways. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I don't know it really suits some females. And very much doesn't many others. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Yes alot of ladies have their bellies pierced. they just hide it more than the westerners, when half the time the it should be the other way around because i have seen some shocking jelly bellies that should be well hidden away!

badmigraine 0 Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 In school we used to giggle when, on looking at old semi-nude paintings, the art teacher explained that "generous" figures were considered beautiful in olden days...and the social studies teacher would confirm this by mentioning societies where fat was sexy. My conclusion on spending a year or two in Michigan is that these days have come back for many US communities. A short trip to any mall turns up scores of high school age girls with bare midriffs, but jellylike flab hanging over the belt. Even the relatively less jellied ones have the soft lobes puffing over the jeans. It occurred to me that these are the ones whose hogsbelly acquaintances probably secretly despise them because they are so "thin"... Yes, a revolution in standards. I can't tell you how nice it was to arrive back at Narita and see all the unfat people. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites

I know many people here (japanese) who have em pierced too. I love it but only because my friends have the bodies for it too - think it is soooo sexy Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 badmigraine I feel exactly the same. It's so nice to arrive back in Japan and see all the slim-ness. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I feel so small when I'm in the UK As for piercings, I don't have any at all - all natural. Link to post Share on other sites

maoriboy 0 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I was introduced to a great term that is used to describe bellys that hang over a bit.."Muffin tops" oh how I laughed at that...until I saw all the muffins walking around Sydney and in NZ.... Link to post Share on other sites
akibun 0 Posted October 18, 2004 Share Posted October 18, 2004 I don't know somebody who have like this. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 What about guys with piercings?? I had both my ears pierced in college and up until I moved to Japan but not anymore. I would like to get mine pierced again. Link to post Share on other sites
sakebomb 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 I wouldn't worry to much, I have had both my ears pierced and still do. I never take them out (I forget they are there most of the time) I used to have my nose pierced before it became "popular". Soon took it out though! Muffin tops Ha haven't heard that term for a while! Link to post Share on other sites
badmigraine 0 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Kind of tangential to this thread, but what about those people who appear in photos from bars or dance clubs, mouths wide open to show their tongue piercing? How idiotic. "LOOK AT ME--I GOT TONGUE PIERCING!" A corollary is the set that wears tank-tops even in cold weather, just to show they got a bicep tatoo. "LOOK AT ME--I GOT INK DONE!" Great. How extremely bold and daring to be different!! It makes me cringe to try to imagine all the things these people are anxiously hoping we'll imagine about what kind of people they are because they did something really amazing by getting a tongue pierced or a tribal tat on their arm. I'm tempted to wear a tank top in November and stick out my tongue in every photo, without a piercing or tank top. Now THAT would be different. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Does anyone here have their tongue pierced? 2 questions!!! 1) Er, why? but seriously, 2) Doesn't it get manky? Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Good question gg, I want to know that too. It sure must get pretty grotty round there. Link to post Share on other sites
Telleboy 0 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Got a mate in NZ who got a Prince Albert piercing, Why? its beyond me. I could never have that amount of pain inflicted on me nob. Although in talking about pain, my wife got her nose pierced last year and bullied me into getting a nipple piercing, I must say, its not really my deal but after the pain wore off it was kind of interesting. You have to do something out of caracter once in your life. On of the new crazes back home is for preganat young girls to have their belly button pierced and wear hipster jeans and short tops, now thats gross. Link to post Share on other sites
Davo 1 Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Had an ear piercing and a nose piercing done but haven't utilized either of them for more than 10 years now. Just woke up one day and thought the nose-ring looked stupid really. Classic term maoriboy, "muffin tops" eh. I like the belly-button piercings on the non-flabby girls, tongue ones are all good as well. Link to post Share on other sites
brit-gob 9 Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Muffin top is a classic, absolute classic. Link to post Share on other sites
