Today, my parents hassled me for wanting to get my tongue pierced, saying it was filthy, unprofessional, and degrading. About an hour later, my sister let slip that my nipple is pierced. FML

Today, I got a nipple piercing. My girlfriend thought I was pranking her with a fake piercing, because I wouldn’t be "daft enough" to get a real one, and she yanked it off, or rather through, my nipple. Yes, it cut my poor nip in half, and I now have two nipples where once I had only one. FML
Today, at work, a customer told me how unprofessional my piercing made me look, and insisted that someone else wait on his table. It's not a piercing, it's a mole. FML
Today, I went to a seamstress to be fitted for my wedding dress and left with a pierced nipple. FML
Today, my little sister thought it'd be cool to pierce my nose while I was asleep. FML
Today, I got my eyebrow pierced. When I got home to show my family, my little sister said, "That's so fake!" and tore it off my face. FML
Today, I flew home to visit my parents. We haven't seen each other in two years, I've gotten a few tattoos done since, and I knew they wouldn't approve, so I bought whole new outfits that covered everything and looked professional. When I got there, the first thing my mom says to me is, "Is that a nose ring!?" FML
Today, I've been sitting here for what seems like an eternity listening to my mom ruthlessly grill my sister about a piercing she got. Why don't I just leave, you ask? We're in the ER. My grandma is in the ICU, critically ill. But my sister's piercing is apparently a bigger concern. FML
Today, I was threatened with suspension from school because of my nose piercing. I had to explain that it's actually a pimple. FML
Today, I got my lip pierced. By the orthodontist. FML
Today, my brother tried to convince me to get a clitoris piercing at his recently opened piercing studio. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

So asking for a MOD's undies will get you banned? Good to know before hand! I was just about to send in my request.

This is one of the most utterly random comments I've read. And replied to. ಠ_ಠ What have you been smoking, mister?!

I don't blame your parents, that's the nastiest piercing ever and can kill you

*Sigh* Eating a dried apricot can kill you.

yeah well I'd rather die from eating a dried apricot than a nasty tongue piercing.

LOL.. You are making it seem like there is a high chance of dying from a tongue piercing. Agreed with Bobbity, the simplest thing can kill you.. lmfao.

wow good one 158. I wasn't trying to be a bitch or anything, I was only stating my opinion about it because I personally know someone that it happened to after a tongue piercing so that's how I obviously feel about them.

well I've had my tongue peirced for over 10 yrs now and its never gotten infected, (obviously hasn't caused my death), and I'm not a **** (I'm happily married), oh and I can leave it out for over a yr and still put it back in. so to all that have never had your tongue pierced but say all these things about it, this goes to you.... "Don't knock till u try it!" :)
boopityboppity 11
I don't like that phrase ("Don't knock till u try it!"). I can "knock" murder, and nobody complains.

@82 unlike cigarettes piercings have not been ruled as dangerous. They are only dangerous if you don't look after them. There is not any way in the world to smoke that won't still fill your lungs with chemicals therefore you can't compare the two

no you didn't comment on piercing directly but since you said she had dumb logic for stating that nothing bad happened to her piercings I would say it was a fair comparison. It is a rather stupid thing to say in most contexts but in a piercing context it is not. Piercing has been practiced for a very long time. The dangers are well known. Ok I admit there may be some that are dangerous and there are a few horror stories about tongue piercings but if you follow the instructions of the piercer you should be OK. If piercings were dangerous from the beginning then any piercer worth their license wouldn't perform them. On saying that I did see a rather horrible one that involved putting a large bar through the ankle. That to my mind is not a piercing, more of a drilling.

OK obviously there is some misunderstanding here. You were using an example to prove how saying "its never happened to me therefore the danger is exaggerated" is a dumb thing to say in all situations. If I am understanding you right I cannot use the example of piercings which was what your reply was calling dumb logic to show you why i think it isn't a dumb thing to say. Even if you were just making a sweeping statement then i should still be able to link it back to piercing because that is what the fml is about. You said that the statement was dumb logic. I was just showing how in regards to the fml and 69s comment it might not be. I don't fail because i was trying to disprove your point in regards to the fml. I may fail in articulating my argument properly but its been a long time since i was in school and writing debates and arguments so I apologize for that.
