Piercings...?

Yep, that's why I take mine out every night. I never sleep with them in. They collect gunk.

People are different. Every woman I knew in college had tremendous difficulties with theirs. The culmination was pus spurting when some guy asked if he could see this girl's piercing.. :-X

I think the 3 most common piercing types I've seen friends and girlfriends have are ears, tongues and belly buttons. And, like I said before, my friend Michael also has his belly button pierced. What people have told me who have belly button piercings is that sometimes you have to be careful with how the waist band of your pants/ skirt might rub against it and cause irritation. But, I don't think most of the people I've known with them had much trouble with them.
The one woman I knew who had a genital piercing didn't have trouble with it (infection-wise), but she said the constant over-stimulation got to be annoying so she took it out. I remember asking her a lot of questions about it... because, I mean wow. It was a woman I dated briefly in Philly.
The most upsetting stories of infections that I've heard about via friends is the piercing through cartilage on various areas of the ear. Those stories are what kept me from having that done myself, because aesthetically I think it looks really cool. Now I'm too old for that probably, and I'm still afraid of it.

Ewwww!
I clean my earlobe out, use rubbing alcohol on it, and occasionally put Neosporin on it when I wear an earing, to keep infections at bay.

Ive been very lucky - absolutely no problems with any of my piercings or my tattoo. And I'm not very good at the whole purposeful cleaning of my ears belly button area thing.
My old flat-mate had some unusual piercings - she get her elbow pierced and the skin between her thumb and finger pierced. Both of them grew out after time.
Brown Eyes:
Wow, those do sound unusual... and both sound like they must have been pretty painful!
