Nose and Facial Piercings

I don't really understand them purely from the perspective that punching holes through your body seems counter intuitive but outside of that what individuals do to their body is none of my concern.

Some pretty hot chicks with nose studs / rings mind but not convinced these decorations are adding to the hotness.

I wouldn't have any.

If someone else likes and wants them then it's their choice to accept the consequences.

I've an eybrow piercing, ear - tragus and scaffold..... and eight others further south.

I can only think about the piercings debate from The Thick Of It now.

tongue piercings are disgusting and anyone doing piercings in unseen places, probably shows them off a lot...

I dated a woman once in my early 20's who had about 30 piercings including her tongue. When it came down to the bedroom, it was NOT fun.

Reminds me of a chick who had her clitoris pierced; I was always worrying I'd chip a tooth when going in hard.

Pac-man forever!

Disgusting in what way? I guarantee you wouldn't be saying that if you'd ever been with a woman who has a tongue piecing and knows how to use it.

Whats it like?

Had my eyebrow done 3 times in late teens to early 20's, kept growing out, you can just about see the scars now.

Also had a hoop on bottom lip for a time, then I got arrested and thought would be best if I didn't turn up to court with metal in my face.

Took it out for the case, by the time I went to pop it back in later in the day, it had already closed up. I can still tongue it from the inside and feel the indent.

Nothing since then for the last 19 years.

Sounds like a liability in a fight :eek:

Not a fan. Also baffled at the trend for doodle tattoos all over arms + legs

I'm fine with nasal piercings, as long as they don't involve the septum. They can look cute, cool, and sexy on the right woman. Rest of the face? No. Save it for the ears.

Looking forward to seeing all those people in my generation (im 39), how they will feel in 25 years time about permanently marking their skin with ink!

I particularly hate face and neck tattoos. No idea why people do that. Usually people who don't want a job and want an excuse why nobody will employ them.

I know a few people with neck/face/head tattoos. They all have well paid jobs.

I had my eyebrow pierced when I was 15. Got rid of it by the time I was 20.

the trouble with things like this, is that they are crap, but only if the person they are on is ugly, and they are super hot, but only if the person with them is super hot.

it's similar with clothing. a shirt looks totally different on a buff guy as to how it looks on an unwashed potato, and these god given leggings girls are freely wearing these days where that are designed to go tight into the butt cheeks (best time to be alive imo) look amazing on hot girls, but on jabba the hutt's sister, not so much.

100% this. I've known some very cute/hot girls for whom the piercing/tattoos are just the icing on the cake. I've also known some - for the sake of diplomacy lets just say "not so hot" - where you just think "why tho?!"

I had a labret piercing when I was in my late teens/early 20s metal phase, but ended up taking it out permanently when I got my first "proper" customer facing job, after forgetting a couple of times to take it out in the morning and getting a major dressing down by the MD of the company (still in my probation, basically told me next time I'd be escorted out of the office...). I still listen to metal though

What a strange person you are.

Explain? You seen 60's year olds with tattoos saying how much they love it?

Yeah? I know people in their 60s still getting new ink.

But I think the part they were referring to was you seemingly getting enjoyment out of others possible unhappiness.

I find the cow nose ring to be a bit weird

Loads. Why? I'm 51 and I'm still getting ink done.

Well you are the exception to the rule

As a woman I used to work with who is an tattoo artist is making big bucks from tattoo removal.

She wants more people to get tattoos so they can come back years later for it to be removed and she can charge them 3 times the amount for the removal
