What do think about piercings? Thoughts? Felings? Opinions? You got any?


I like 'em. I have 11 myself. 4 in my left ear, 5 in my right, and 2 in my lipe. All but one in my ears are also gauged. <3

Current piercings are restricted to the earlobes with barely noticeable 0 gages. More to come when I can get pierced without running the risk of being kicked out. I'm thinking of one on the bridge of my nose and/or a group of three on my chest.

1 in ea lobe, 1 on the top part of one of my ears, belly button, and tongue now.

"Earrings are like sneezes. Two is okay but ten is always annoying"

Just the tought of em makes me cringe. Im a huge wussy when it comes to needles, never mind piercings. Bit wierd since I got quite a lot of slashes and cuts from knives (Not self-mutilation, nearly all fuck ups from trying to jugle them when brored). I don't mind those, but I start sweating when some justs points a needle at me.

I don't have a real problem with piercings, (got 2 in my left ear) though there are some I don't find flattering. While I don't mind Lebre'?(where there is one stud through the skin under the bottom lip), I think that having rings through your lips make you look like a hooked fish. A small stud in your nostril doesn't look too bad, but a large stud or ring looks tacky. I don't like a peircing through the bridge of the nose either. Tongue ring I'm undecided on, I've seen some that look good and some that look bad, I just can't decide what was wrong with the bad ones. When discussing genitalia, I guess I'm a little sexist, I think pierced clitoris or labia look fine, but a "Prince Albert" looks stupid.

No peircings myself. They can look good on the right person tho.

My sister has a tongue stud. My parents reactions were hilarious.

If done correctly and sparingly they can look good, but I'm not one for putting metal spikes in my skin.

Also I heard that if a woman pierces their clitoris they lose feeling in it.

That can happen, just as a mastectomy can lead to partial or comlete loss of feeling in the breast. Some lose sensation, some don't. Either way, I bet it hurts like hell.

Oddly, putting bits of metal through the human body on a quasi-permanent basis? Not an exact science.

Obsession with shoving bits of a urine colored metal through ones skin has always been confusing to me, as is the fixation with said urine metal. Its odd that humans claim themselves to be intelligent yet they are easily captivated by a sparkling lump of carbon. The places where humans get these piercings are not logical. They risk infection when they get one, yet they insist on getting them in places where they could lose one of their senses. This obsession with this metal leads to temporary or permanent loss of taste, smell, hearing, and sight.

Not to mention pleasure in the naughty bits.

Not real big on piercings, but I have two in my left ear and one in my right (would have had two in that one too, but I had pierced it myself, it got infected and scarred over. I plan on piercing it again though). Maybe some day in the future I'll get the tops of my ears pierced or something. Not too sure.

And as for urine colored metal... I don't wear anything that looks like gold. I hate it. I prefer silver.

I'm getting my ear pierced soon so I guees I think they are ok in moderation not like a friend of mine had some where close to 100 at one time

Unless it gets infected, then you might lose your 'naughty bits'. Then you'd have to get a tattoo on your forehead that says 'stupid'.

I don't think that's mandatory.

It should be.

You sound like my dad.

Go collect your social security, you baby boomer.

Ok, I'ma go buy a coffin for Shannon, anyone who doesn't want to witness a murder should come with.

First, that was Demetri Martin from his song Sames and Opposites (wherein he determines things that are the same and things that are opposite - such as a squirrel being the same as a can when he has a BB gun in his hand).

Second, I look forward to being a sinister old man. Unfortunately, I'm currently a nondescript man of a youthful age.

I really expected a more aggresive reply, verbose feeling a bit mellow today? (Guess he's been spending time at his cousins house again)

I'm not aggressive when people fail to show me the proper respect. If I was, I'd have to yell at all of you constantly.

I'm only aggressive for three reasons. One, someone has been suggesting an idea that is incorrect. Since I don't know her dad, it would be a bit silly for me to argue that without one or two points to work with. Two, someone is condescending towards my intellect and ability. You can think I'm wrong (which is the incorrect view, incidentally) but suggesting that I am incapable irks me. Three, it would be funny. Because that's hilarious.

it would be funny because thats hilarious? Ey?

Anywho, I don't mind piercings, I just never got one, they seem pretty awesome, right up until the point where one of my mates did it "old school" style and ended up weeping puss from his ear. That sort of thing puts you off

I've seen people with some pretty nasty scars from what's left from having one ripped out.

I kind of was too. I think I might be disappointed right now.




Yes, it does. A friend of mine piereced her lip 5 times by herself with just a normal stud earring (at different times, which makes it even more idiotic). They all got infected and swollen and puss-filled. Needless to say, she has many scars around her mouth. Very unattractive.

I was Dating a girl for a long time with a lot of piercings, I really liked the belly-button, and the tongue ones. but she had her 3 in her lip and i hated those. Over all, i think I like them, but not in the lip.

I think as a pretty thing they fail and as an attempt to be non-conformist, they're pretty template.

And that's why opinions are wonderful. As I find them to be, for the most part, down right sexy. Why? No clue, they just are.

And the idea of a non-conformist template makes me giggle.

That's the trouble with individual rights. You let people think they're individual.

I'm borderline genius, borderline sociopath and an all-around jerk and even I'm not a totally unique individual. Just look at goths - they basically wear a uniform to not conform.

We're conformist animals who've been tricked into thinking we can be individual.

You forget narcissistic to the point of paranoia. All interesting qualities except the only problem is, you're human. You share the same DNA as those creatures that ride a bike off of a roof, into an empty pool, shatter all their bones, and post it on YouTube so other humans can say "cool, I cant wait to try that".

Do not fear though, I do not question your intellect. I merely remind you of where you come from.

My blatant superiority is inherent and not reflective of my relationship with the rest of the species.

I was merely pointing out the conformity found in even the extreme edges of human excellence. I appear unique because so few people approach how good I am. I'm not unique because if more people were as good as me, you'd see my template features.

I am reminded of the old quote "a vast and self destructive ego that eats away at itself from the inside"

Seemed appropriate .

People like none conformists but only if they don't conform in the right way. For instance say they smoke and do drugs, thats none conformist in an "attractive" way. If you are just yourself and do all the random crap that comes with it.... that ain't attractive

Smoking is not attractive. I don't know where you got that idea, but it isn't. It is disgusting and it kills you.

because all the smokers I know have girl/boy friends. Thats the way I got that conclusion

But is it necessarily caused by the smoking?

Partially, they are generally "None conformist" kids, I was just using the smoking as a signifier of this

You really struggle with the idea of attractive symbolism, don't you?

Because cigarettes are pretty unrepentantly phallic.

If one was truely unique, humanity would not have the means to describe them. The fact that one can with the written word means that multiples have come beforehand, giving the human species enough time to develop words to describe them.


And as for smoking. Smoking is for those who are too afraid to just inhale fire.

Precisely.

On both counts.

I don't know, but for whatever reason: lip rings, tongue rings, nose rings... all of the scream at me to find a high-powered magnet and sit there with a lawnchair like I was scouring for treasure. I saw a woman come up to the pharmacy with a little lip stud that looked like a blue and pink mole-pock mark-thingy... I wanted to reach out and just peel it off of her face with my fingernail. I'm not against those who want to take a stapler or nailgun to their heads (after all, I suppose one can't have too many holes in their head) but... make them tasteful.

I'm fine with piercings, don't have any myself, but as long as its not over the top (and you don't look to be), I'm fine with it.


My thoughts exactly

"You can always tell those with piercing who haven't checked themselves in the mirror before going out, their the ones with the fridge magnets attached to them"

I don't have any piercings as i would probably look like an idiot but some people look good with some piercings, but it starts to look really bad when they have like 9 different piercings everywhere, looks bad.

I for one would never get anything Pierced. I don't think it would look right on me. On the females, I am partial to a simple brow ring to complement the earrings... but, other than that, no. Tongue, nose, lips, navel.... not a big fan...

The only piercings I don't find disgusting are earrings. And even then I prefer them to be on women.

I never understood the point of gauges. Why make a big hole in you?

I'd have to agree accept for some women do look god with a nose piercing SOME do, other just bah.

The only problem with having huge gauges and too many piercings is what will they look like when your skin loses its elasticty? Honestly? I don't want to think about the gapping holes and scars left behind. Its like getting a tattoo-- do it small and in a place no one else can see. My tats are tasteful, but I can still go to work in a modest uniform and not have them blinding people. Just don't ask where I put them...

you know by saying "don't ask" people's instinct is to ask.
