I don't have any freaky stories, unfortunately. My worst piercing experience was having my first nostril piercing not heal properly and end up with a lump on it, but even that went away with time.
Currently I have a nostril piercing, gauged 5/8" holes in my lobes, plus 2 others in my lobes (1 in each) and a helix (top of the ear). I've had a few others over the years, but those are the ones that stayed.
I did have a labret, and although pain isn't usually a factor for people who have piercings, I have to say that it didn't hurt a bit, and it healed like a dream, very quickly. I only took it out because I had started job-hunting and figured it would hurt my chances of finding work. I will probably get it repierced one of these days. If you get a labret, make sure it's done high-ish and at a bit of an angle, so you don't wear your gums down or chip your teeth. A friend did mine, and it was perfect - the back of the stud didn't even touch my teeth.
Industrials, according to a friend of mine who had one, are really hard to heal. I haven't tried, so I have no input there.
I'm all about tattoos these days. My birthday's in a month... guess what I'm doing that day? Hehe.
