Hello again folks!

Well, Christmas was a bit manic so we didn't really get a chance to do anything other than parcel, parcel, parcel :)

We're back now, with a whole host of new goodies (six big boxes, to be precise) to be uploaded in the next month or so - we started off this week with some fab new scaffold bars!

It's also creeping closer to Valentine's Day - if you're looking for a little sparkly gift for your missus, belly bars make great presents, and we have a whole range of heart belly bars for you to choose from!

New coupon code - Winter2009 10% off orders over £10

enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk (Miss Pierced) — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 10:31:00 +0000

It's all gloomy and miserable so we've conjured up another discount code for you so you can treat yourself to some new sparklies to cheer up the darkening winter nights!

winter2009 gets you 10% off orders over £10 until the end of December - use it for all your Christmas pressies as well and treat yourself to something with the savings! ;)

Piercing Pictures Required - £10 gift voucher up for grabs!

enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk (Miss Pierced) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 15:39:00 +0000

We need your piercing pics, our Gallery page is looking a little empty :)

Submit your pics to enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk - if you're wearing our jewellery in your piercings, even better, but no worries if not!

If sending pics of stretched ears, it'd be great to know what size the ear is at in the pic!

As a reward, all picture submissions from now til the end of July will enter our prize draw to win a £10 gift voucher to spend on anything you like from our body jewellery range! Winner will be picked randomly so you're just as likely to win for a picture of a simple nose piercing as you are for the most modified ear anyone's ever seen!

Life's too short for ugly body jewellery! 10% discount code, new stuff etc

Merhaba! ('tis Turkish for Hello, in case you didn't know)

Having just returned from our quick summer break (first holiday in three years, squee!) to Turkey, I felt inspired to write a few words on this since it was April last time this was updated.

Before going, I had as much fun choosing my body jewellery to take with me as I did shopping for all the other bits and pieces I'd need such as bikinis etc - and I thought everyone was the same, as we get no end of requests all summer long to 'send it quickly please, I'm going away and want to take it with me!' So I was shocked to see the large numbers of ladies flaunting their bellies in a bikini, with some of the most boring (and some downright ugly!) belly jewellery I've ever seen!

Now, while I realise that not everyone has a shop like ours on their doorstep, and some people don't shop on the internet, but come on - surely all girls have access to more interesting belly bars than a manky, old single jewelled bananabell (not even double jewelled, single!) that doesn't even sparkle any more?

So, in honour of our campaign to get your piercings sparkling whatever your summer plans may be - you never know, the sun might even shine here for a few days - we'd like to offer you a coupon code to get 10% off any purchases of £10 or more at Pierced & Modified. Spend your tenner in whichever category you fancy (remember postage is always free!) and enter code Summer2009 at Checkout to claim your discount.

And then, onto some new stuff. As usual it's just a list, browse through the categories for the pictures etc :) There's many many more new products than is listed, I'm just too lazy to write every thing down...

Mr & Miss Pierced Meet.. Elaine Davidson!

enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk (Miss Pierced) — Wed, 04 Feb 2009 20:41:00 +0000

Air-travel is generally a tedious, uncomfortable and time-consuming business, unless you happen to be loaded and can afford to travel first class, in which case it's still tedious, fairly uncomfortable and time-consuming - but you get champagne and free blankets.

So, on a recent trip back from London to P&M headquarters in Scotland, we were expecting general boredom and cramped conditions - so when Elaine Davidson turned up to share those cramped conditions, sitting just one row in front of us, you can imagine our surprise! As the Guinness World Record holder for the most pierced woman in the world, Elaine attracts attention wherever she goes, and certainly brightened up the journey on a certain Heathrow - Edinburgh flight on a snowy Tuesday afternoon with her extravagant facial decorations and knee-length, multi-coloured hair.

The lovely lady was happy to pose for pictures and answer questions about her 6,002 piercings which she performs on herself, including the dreaded 'Why?' (for fame, money and because she woke up one day seven years ago and decided she wanted to beat the world record)

Our hastily captured pictures do not do justice to the multitude of metal, but armed with only a Blackberry and rubbish aeroplane lighting, it was the best we could do!

Elaine will soon be featuring in our new piercing gallery - if you want your picture there along with hers, send it to enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk!

We want your piercing pictures!

enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk (Miss Pierced) — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 20:26:00 +0000

We know how you all love to show off your piercings, so we thought we'd provide a place for you to show off to thousands of people worldwide - our very own gallery page!

The page is still under construction, and we need your help to fill it!

Send us your photos, if you're modelling P&M jewellery even better, but we'll forgive you if you're not - we just want the photographs - to enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk and we'll post them on our website.

You know you want to - I'll show you mine if you show me yours! ;) (Keep it clean though kids! Rudey pics won't be published!)

A brief introduction, and welcome to our new blog...

enquiries@piercedandmodified.co.uk (Miss Pierced) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 11:36:00 +0000

Now, those of you up to speed with all this blog-type stuff, you may need to bear with me while I find my feet with this thing.

A brief introduction....

For someone who has had a profound love (and somewhat of an addiction) for the Internet, ever since the very early days when there really was not that much to be found that was of any interest, I'm surprisingly technophobic. I don't do instant messengers of any kind, I prefer my music to come out of the radio and on CD, and I've never figured out how to watch the TV through this thing. I don't really 'get' MySpace, Facebook or any of the rest of it. I certainly have no idea how you're supposed to do any of it through your mobile phone! Knowing this, it still baffles me to this day how I ended up running a website for a living? :/

But, here I am. My love of piercings did not seem to fit well with my chosen subject of study (accounting! LOL) so I always knew there was a choice to be faced at some point - and when it came to it, it really wasn't that difficult. Pierced & Modified was born in 2002, around the same time as I started my degree. By the time I graduated, in 2006, there were three (or four? I forget) of us working here - now between the shop and the office there are a few more than that :D In 2002 the empire consisted of a tiny indoor market stall in Glasgow, offering the vast choice of about 100 belly bars and a couple of trays of tongue bars, lip studs and eyebrow rings. These days we have about 5,000 body jewellery products - and the selection grows regularly - available for mail order on the website, and a shop full of clothing, accessories, shoes, bags, make-up and of course jewellery.

Now, that's all very well, but what's the point of this blog, exactly? you may be wondering by now. Well, with all those years comes a fair bit of knowledge - we're forever being asked all sorts of questions about body jewellery and piercings in general, and we love to answer those questions - but can't help but think sometimes, how much easier would it be if we could just have a big page for questions and things. We tried to add new guides and information pages to the website, but it made it look messy - so someone suggested a blog. So, here I am :) You'll mostly be hearing from me, since everyone else is too busy doing boring work.

I'll be updating the blog with the answers to commonly asked questions, such as 'how exactly do you open a ball closure ring?' and random piercing information and other titbits I think you may find interesting, as well as details and pictures of new products and stuff we introduce to the site :)

Anyway - that's all for just now. We'll add all sorts of more interesting stuff than this in the coming weeks, I promise.
