Has anybody done piercings on their Kimber? Ears, nose, belly button, nipples? If so, how?

Many have done so and it is very easy.

Get jewelry, poke through the TPE flesh and then insert jewelry.
Unlike a real human there is no wailing, blood or healing involved.

Once in your doll, use a bit of care around them.
TPE tears and rips easier than human flesh.
But also TPE can be easily repaired.

Good luck!

I did the nose on mine, it was just a case of carefully pushing the ring through the TPE rubber, but it does take a steady hand, working up the courage and being mindful of where you want the exit point of the piercing to come through.

It took me two attempts because I got it slightly wrong on the first try and the exit point wasn't right, but what was reassuring was it didn't leave much of a "scar". I also got the ring size too big on the first attempt and the doll looked ridiculous, but a second attempt and a smaller ring size prevailed.

It looks okay, but it has risen the nostril up very slightly on one side.

I guess a needle would be a more accurate way of doing it for things like nipples, belly button etc I wouldn't use too thick a gauge either.

Also bear in mind not to pierce parts which might rip or tear easily, it was for this reason I avoided the ears, I think clip on piercings would work better on this part, particularly if you're worried about damaging the doll.

I'd like to do the lower lip on mine eventually.

I have my belly button pierced, but clip ons for my ears, I don’t want them to get torn.
