^ Oh, cool.

I think it all depends on the person. An eyebrow piercing would look ridiculous on me. I'm just not one for piercings(sorry star )

*sigh* I understand
My boyfriend is another of those people whom piercings just wouldn't suit. Hell, it took long enough for him to get a small tattoo in a concealed place! :D

Eyebrow piercings always look like they could "give" at any moment. They never look too solid or comfy, but hey, whatever rocks ya boat. :D

This is kind of like asking someone else what kind of movies should be your favorite, and you can smoke with a tongue ring.

Or maybe my ears, gauge them?

If you want to get a job, you should stray from any gauging, or facial piercings. (Although it depends on where you want to work really)

As the poster above me said, this is a question we cant really answer as not everyone has the same tastes as you.

get your septum if it looks right on your face. you can just flip it up and noone can see it. i had mine for months before my job even knew it was there and they didnt have a problem with cuz even they cant see it when i flip it up.

 

[AmorRoark]

It doesn't sound like you've really thought this out past minimal considerations. If you're going to spend the money and go through the pain make sure you really want to do it.

 

[AmorRoark]

I don't think you'd look good with piercings to be very honest with you. Tats work on everybody though.

 

[n3ophy7e]

and you can smoke with a tongue ring.

This is true, BUT you can't/shouldn't smoke for the first few weeks so it can heal as best as possible.

get your septum if it looks right on your face.

I was going to say this as well, but I had a look at chucker's photo and I personally don't think a septum piercing wouldn't suit his face...

heychucker, I gotta say, your face is too clean-looking for any facial piercings. A tongue ring would be fucking HOT though, but that's just my personal opinion. A nipple piercing would be awesome too but there can be issues with getting it caught on clothing, like your friend said.

My final verdict is that you should either get your tongue pierced (and keep your smoking to an absolute minimum while it's healing), or save your money for more tattooing

 

[n3ophy7e]

Having seen that more recent photo of you I still think your facial features are too clean-cut for facial piercings.

Go with the tongue ring. Do iiiit!!

Piercings!

Inspired by a TDS thread haha. Who has them and where? And what have you had?
I became interested in piercings about two years ago and am interested in a piercing apprenticeship at the moment.

Anyway, to start, I have: 1 lip piercing, 2 tongue piercings, 3 industrials and 4 dermal anchors in my left arm.

Discuss!

 

[badboybrian]

had my labret done, an industrial in my left ear, two in my left lobe, and my tongue. All gone now. Ahhh, business casual corporate america. Heh.

 

[silentangst]

Yeah, mine are slowly leaving too. Lack of a job is persuading me

A nice repertoire though

 

[Nortika]

I have my lip and my tongue pierced. No way could I ever be the piercer tho, seeing other people get pierced makes me faint!

 

[ocean]

I HAD my lip and nose many years ago.......
I want a Monroe but my hubby doesn't think it'll suit me.......
I'd handle a labret but the thought of spending 60 bucks turns me off

 

[silentangst]

Aw yeah, since I'm currently jobless I can't justify spending money on piercings at the moment. It's horrible

 

[rant*N*rave]

I have my navel, my tongue, and three in each ear. I'd like more, but my parents won't pay my tuition if I have piercings. They don't know about the tongue ring, and the navel ring is unspoken about. My mom flipped her shit when I got the 3rd earring put in... 8)

I'll probably get a couple more before I kick the bucket. I'd loooove to have my back corseted, but I'm a pussy, and the rejection rate is too high...

I love the look of a corsetted back, but you're right about the rejection rate, they barely last more than a few months in most cases. The skin on the back moves too much for rings there

 

[curmudgeoness]

I guess I'm pretty conservative compared to others re piercings. I have the normal ear piercings (just one in each ear -- performed at Merle Norman a bazillion years ago), and also a navel piercing which I had done 9 months ago. I'm considering a second ear piercing in one ear - in the upper part of my ear. Seems like that would hurt a bit, but I still want to do it.

 

[silentangst]

Yes, they do hurt a lot, but they're well worth it once they're healed. I had my upper ear pierced six times about 9 months ago and they look fantastic, but not fully healed yet.
