God damn I never knew genital piercings made me flinch so much 
For me itās like this: as long as itās (mostly) reversable without heavy surgery, Iām fine with it.
But no nonstandard places please for the love of god (Iām surprised I havenāt seen any orbital/eyelid implants yetā¦ has anyone done this?)

Does tounge count? 
I had one some years ago, but it was only in the way, so I took it out after 6-8 months

Okay, this is impressive, but also a little disturbing
I think I draw my line a bit before cutting open my eyes for cosmetic reasonsš¤

Itās crypto, but symmetric, it puts keys in vivokeys hands.
In a way thatās even worse than using a chips ID for security. Now my secret lies on some server.
IMO its likelier that vivokey gets hacked than that someone reads my hand.
An apex could theoretically identify me without VK keeping my secret. My apex could sign a challange with a private key that never leaves the chip. Thatās some security. You could hack VK but not solve login challanges in my name.
But if I also have a spark, I lower my vivokey acc security to that level (secrets on a server).

Huh? Thatās strange - tongue was actually my first piercing ever, and after I got the short bar in I barely recognize it. Still love it sooo much (and have a lot of sentimental feelings about it, because, first piercing and that) that it effectively keeps me from getting my tongue split 
Hehe, define āstandardā here^^ Genital piercings might be, considering their history, very standard - theyāve existed since a very long time, so theyāre maybe more āstandardā than a bellybutton piercing (which I consider a bad idea in most cases, anyway^^). For me personally, I think my two Daith piercings feel the most ānonstandardā, the placement is interesting (it feels like getting pierced on the āinsideā of the ear, in a way) and they are, at least in Germany, still not that usual.
And I like to combine piercings or use unusual jewelry to make them look differentā¦
The tunnel is fresh in the lower pic, so still very work in progress!

Maybe common would be a better word? ^^
It is quite difficult to gauge the prevelence of genital piercings tho
I found an infographic that states that genital piercings make up 2% and 3% of all piercings in women and men respectively (it is a infographic tho, with no stated sources, so it could very well be trash).
Well I would consider ears (helix/cartilage, conch, rook, etc.), lips, tongue, nose, nipples, navel, eyebrow etc. - I would consider these āmainstreamā (maybe even better?) - but that is purely empirical, from what Iāve seen - and anecdotal evidence is usually worthless anyway
Hmmmm, those statistics are difficult usually.
If you count the single earlobe piercing into this (which pretty much every woman has - not me, funny enough^^), it might be fitting, but I would think the numbers are pretty low. I know of several people who have only genital piercings - they look perfectly ānormalā, rather conservative to the casual observer, and yet they have more piercings below the waist than I have above it^^
And I think there are lots of differences between different countries, too - for example, in Germany, I rarely see pierced eyebrows. Was a thing in the 90s, but today, I see faint eyebrow-scars from time to time (so, there have been piercings^^), but almost no piercings. Same with bridge piercings - okay, many piercers donāt do them anymore, but I also rarely see them āon the streetsā.
But honestly, itās rather difficult to get āunusualā piercings nowadays - except from plain dangerous stuff like eyelid piercing or snake eyesā¦ So I just get what I like (and what my piercer likes to do, as well^^), guess Iām already marked as a freak by other things
God the idea of snake eyes make me quake.
You would think someone would know basic biology before getting it, Locking two muscles together like that just canāt end well

Same here - additionally, these things will definitely destroy your teeth. Maybe a dentist invented them and insidiously put some pictures up at bmezine.com, who knowsā¦ 
@Coma I think itās probably safe to say youāre the most diversely modified person in the community

Definitely had that problem a few times
I will say that since mine is still relatively fresh, I have an oversized bar in, so it can makeā¦ahemā¦ certain things difficult. I usually take it out for those things; it might get easier when I switch to a shorter bar, but thatās where Iām at nowadays. For activities involving others, itās definitely a good idea to lube liberally. The start is definitely the hardest part lol

Despite the captive bead ādisappearingā sometimes, I donāt recommend a continuous ring for the PA, it can really irritate things which is a pity, they look so nice! Donāt know if you and @Sijaka know the upside-down trick to peeing, but if you find the flow follows the ring and drips ~ twist your appendage so the PA is facing upwards. Helps to minimize mess

Actually, I used that trick all the time when I had my PA! With my apa, I usually just find it easiest to sit at this point. It might become a little easier when I switch to the shorter bar, but with how much the bar sticks out as of right now, itās just too much of a hassle/mess trying to stand
And yeah, I definitely always used a captive bead. My piercer told me the same thing.
