The Singer Pink Gets Her Pink Nipples Pierced

Nipple piercings are quite the craze today with both men and women. But people really sat up and took notice when funky Grammy winning American singer and celebrity Pink’s nipple piercing was filmed and broadcasted by her! She got her nipple piercing backstage after a concert and recorded the entire procedure. Fans got to see it in her “Live in Europe” DVD. She certainly got ‘the party started’ there!
Christened Alecia Moore, Pink was born September 8, 1979, to parents James and Judy. While growing up in Philadephia, her father played Bob Dylan and Don McLean songs on the guitar, which served as inspiration to Pink's pursuit of a musical career.

A young Pink proclaimed her love for music by running through her house singing songs, and creating her own fantasies by doing so. While growing up, the Philly club scene provided her the venue to express herself by both singing and dancing. At the age of 13, Pink met a popular Philly club dancer named Skratch, who she started dancing with. This led to her singing backup in his rap group, Schools of Thought.

By the time she was 14, Pink had penned her first song. Songwriting became a way for the future R&B/pop singer to express her feelings and thoughts on her Philly childhood and adolescent experiences, in a therapeutic way.

One of her favorite pastimes, going to clubs, became part of her start in the music industry. She would frequent Club Fever every Friday night, where she eventually was given a 5-minute spot. Although Pink was sometimes boo-ed while on stage, she used the negativity as more fuel to the fire of her ambition.

Her career took a turn in the right direction after a representative came to Club Fever in search of an addition to an R&B group. Impressed by Pink's voice and style, she was signed as the new member of the short-lived group, Basic Instinct.

Since Pink didn't feel that she fit into the group, Basic Instinct was nothing more than that -- a fleeting instinct -- but Pink was on her way to bigger and better things, as a solo artist.

However, not before another shot at a group, this time with one named Choice. Signed with LaFace Records, Choice was just as ill-fated as Basic Instinct, but this time due to differing ambitions and mentalities of the group members. It did lead however, to Pink's relationship with LaFace, presently Pink's record label.

As one of the lead singers of Choice, Pink was asked by Darryl Simmons to contribute to the songwriting of the group's song, "Just To Be Loving You". It was her contribution to the song that triggered her love for songwriting -- once a childhood hobby and now part of her job.
