Facial Piercings. :]
 

Your mommy is going to allow this? I'm surprised.

I think the nose ring; a small diamond, would look cute. I would definitely wait on something like a lip piercing to see how you like the nose one, first.

Also, nose rings are easier to heal and get rid of, if you decide you don't want a piercing on your face; another reason to stop and think about the lip one.

Personally, the nose ones for me are alot cuter and even more feminine than lip piercings, but that may just be me.

Whatever you do, I'd love to see pics. We'll support you no matter what, Hannah.


Oh... and I only have piercings on my ears, 9 in total. And one tattoo.

You have a tattoo?

She posted a picture of it. It's on her foot.

Indeed. I've marred my flesh beautifully. (Scroll down to post 4)

Hannah, honestly, the best thing I can tell you is think about it all, do the research... There are some great resources for everything you need to learn about this kind of stuff, especially when you get into the facial piercings, since some of them require special care to heal properly. And, it being on your face, the after care is very important!

This is an excellent start, and there are tons of other pages out there. (Definitely check out the piercing and tattoo forums there. Tons of stories and experiences and tips to share!) If you need anything, let me know. :)

I was thinking about getting a piercing for a while. My parents wouldn't allow it until I turned 18, and now that I'm way past that age, I may have to get it done. I'm just unsure what the hell the "cool" thing to do is for guys anymore. I remember it used to be one ear piercing, and now my friend tells me it's cool to pierce both. I don't even know.

Another factor is what kind of earring to get. It has to be nerdy, I do know that. Something from a video game or something. Gotta keep it OG, now and forever.

Most of the time, when you first get a piercing, you HAVE to use a 'piercing stud'. Alot of the time, they don't come in different, personalized versions, but who knows, you may get lucky and find one!

Piercing studs are more pointed so they can better, um... 'pierce' through your ear; plus, they have a catch on them so that your earring does not come out of your ear too early, in which case the hole can close way too early! Then you're dealing with scar tissue, and re-piercing through that (not a fun thing, I'm sure!). Which can lead to odd placements, crooked, leaning posts... Stuff like that.

However, after a month or so, you can switch your earring to whatever you want!

Though, if you're lucky enough to find a cool, personalized starter earring, then have at it!

Nothing like wasting money on stuff you don't need.

I never saw the allure in these things. Jewelry doesn't seem to do anything all that great. The only thing that might have any value to me is silver, and that's only if werewolves attack me.

Exactly my thoughts although I used to wear a huge gold chain with a cross when I was younger until I realized that I looked like a pimp with it.

Jewelery can be nice, if it's not overdone or worn solely for the sake of being cool. I mean, I wear a silver chain with a little bear and a dogtag (it was my first dog's last dogtag) around it. Oh, and I have a silver earring sometimes. But I'd have serious thoughts about getting a hole punched through my face just to put a ring in it. A couple years after you've made it, you don't like it anymore and you'll have that little, annoying scar where it was, reminding you how you tried to be cool for all your life.

I had one piercing ever. An eyebrow ring in my left eyebrow. It was torn half way out about two weeks after I had it. Now I've got an ugly scar and no more desire for another piercing.

My girlfriend is a bit insane about piercings. She already has well over a dozen in her ears and she had her bully button pierced. If I ever just let her loose I know she'd have a ton more, but I'll never allow such a thing. I'm ok with a nose stud or something though. Like JD said, those are feminine and cute. When I see chicks with rings coming out their lips and stuff I kinda want to punch them.

We demand pics!

I used to have a few of my bits pierced. (sorry, there will be no pictures of the specific bits) I guess that was a phase I went through in High School. I didn't do any facial piercing, though...and never, oddly enough, had my ears pierced until recently.

*shrugs* I grew out of it. I was tired of the piercings snagging on things and some were uncomfortable after awhile.

I was going to get a prince albert, and I asked my mom to sign for me cause I was underage and she wouldn't, so then I waited till I was 18. Then, when I was 18 I went to get it and I passed out when I got there just thinking about it, so I decided not to get it.

Good call, mate.

That's kinda gross. D:

Hey, nobody complains when you talk about your penis, so be polite. >:[
