Today, my 5 month old son decided that my lip ring was a toy. Thinking it would be ok, I let him touch it. He got his finger caught and pulled his hand back. The lip ring is still in, but now I have a huge gaping hole in my face. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML
Today, I finally found the jewelry my two-year-old son had lost when it got lodged in my foot. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML
Today, I had a spur of the moment idea to go have my nose pierced. The piercer made sure to tell me how easily the little stud could get caught or hung up. I spent all day stressing over it only to scratch my nose and rip it out. Now I have a $40 bleeding hole in my nose. FML
Today, my nose ring became a fish hook. What did I catch? My dog's harness. She nearly ripped it out of my face. FML
Today, my 2 year-old had a large booger blocking his nose so I pulled it out. I was on the phone and absentmindedly rolling it around between my thumb and pointer finger. I put it in my mouth and crushed it between my teeth for a solid minute before I remembered what it was. FML
Today, while undergoing the cumbersome task of screwing the tiny silver ball onto my lip piercing, I clumsily dropped it onto the counter and watched it bounce into the trash can, where it nestled snugly into a used maxi pad. FML
Today, I was taking my earrings out and thought I had lost the back of one. Turns out my ear infection has caused the flesh of my ear to grow around and engulf the back of my earring and it is still stuck in there. FML
Today, I swallowed the piercing that I had bought for my tongue yesterday. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

There can't be sanity in piercing your body!

Double fault! Self-mutilation AND not knowing children are curious. Good luck with that "rest of your life" thing; I think you'll need it.

Sounds like you already had a gaping hole in your face.

Facial piercing are so stupid! Ever notice how some plastic packaging is real hard to tear unless you poke a hole in it and then it tears like a hot knife thru butter. Well that's your face with any kind of trauma (falling on your face, getting hit with a ball, getting punched, or it getting hooked on anything). Good luck with the large zipper scar. Besides who wants to kiss a metal object?

Well, in a way, it is irresponsible. The baby can grab onto the piercing and rip it clean out of the skin, and if the piercing falls out the baby could swallow and choke on it if the baby picks up the jewelry. If you already have piercings and you then later have a baby, take the piercings out or replace everything with very small studs until the kid is a bit older. If you have a baby and you want to get piercings, WAIT.

I have 2 lip rings, 2 nose rings and Im a teriffic mother, if you didnt want that to happen you should have put a stud in. babies like to pull things that are shiny. so you deserve it for not having common sense but to all those saying oh well you shouldnt have piercings if your a mother **** off. piercings do not dictate your parenting skills at all.

I totally agree, people can be stupid and theres no reasons why a mother should give up piercings. Though a stud wouldnt exactly prevent it, but it would have been much better than a ring. I was holding my then 3 month old son while he slept. He woke up and suddely gave my labret stud a painful jerk, but it was too difficult for his tiny fingers to hold on to for long. Shit happens.

Wow...look how many of you are judgemental and ridiculous....Having a lip ring is not a big deal, and just cause your a mother doesnt mean you shouldnt have a lip ring or that you have sacrificed your DIGNITY.. come on people get f*cking real. Its a piercing! I do however think that super judgemental and ignorant people make bad parents so where the hell is yoru dignity!
