Piercing Q's (FAO Blackstar/Penksi really... :) )

Chronicle · 9 Mar 2006 at 20:24

Given up finding my other thread on it, and anyway that was more about tshirts ... So ...
Decided to go with an eyebrow piercing, cos (i hope

) it'll make me look older than a lip/tounge one, and its more ... i'm not sure how to word it, but looks more "smart" if you get what i mean (imo, anyway).

How much should I expect to pay for an eyebrow piercing?

Also thinking of getting some form of ear piercing, anyone got any links to a site that shows each type of peircing so I can just ask for it without having to explain (not after just a simple hole in ** eyelobe, want one at the top part of ear, if i get one). Also approx how much would this be?

And just to be a bit nosey, how much for a lip piercing, approx? If it is really cheap I might just get it for the sake of it to see if it suits me

. But IIRC they're like £20-30 so bit too much to spend just to see if i like it.

I know some of you will moan and say how you shouldn't care, but what side (left/right) is considered the gay side to get a piercing? (ill get the non gay side, obviously!). It is just I dont care what side, so no point in making me look gay.

Cheers

So if I get left, I won't look gay, yeh

And what are you on about with the obvious thing? :confused:

And ren, i wouldn't get it on the side anyway. I'm not going for the emo look

Because I'm not gay. And if i don't even care what side I get it on (tbh, either side is fine by me), no point in getting that side

Oh yeh, actually, is there any age limit? Pretty sure there won't be cos I know people who have gotten piercings.
Still 16 (17 in 25 days or something). Which is a bitch (being still 16). Actually been told I'm not allowed piercings. But meh. Hats can hide it. At least, for a bit.

Not as easy as you'd think for a while more so if you get ear piercings unless you have long hair or blind parents. I hid mine and still hide 3 of them from my dad and 1 from my mum its not a good idea.

Well I want to get it tomorrow, then go out tomorrow night/sat night, so need to try to hide it till then.

I've been trying all day to get the "your 16 (/nearly 17), you should do whatever (own dinner etc)", but its not working lol. :rolleyes:

It is going to be in lunch time anyway or at about 4, so hopefully won't be that busy at one of those times. And theres quite a few places around here.

A retainer.

What are these..are they the plastic things that are harder to see? How much are they, and could I fit one straight away?

so i could go home, with one of these in (if its what i think it is), tell my mum, she won't care if its small, go out, put "real" thing in.

Also what is http://www.jewelryranks.com/bodyjewelry2/help/images/eyebrow-piercing.jpg actually called? (as in, if it was a ring, it would ... be a ring). I have no idea what they're called. The straight things...

Meh. How swolen will it get?

Blackstar said:
I think the swollen red eyebrow for a few days might give the game away. Few places will pierce eyebrows with a retainer even the eyebrow retainer will be noticable and you wont be able to change it for minimum 4-5 weeks

Thanks for your advice. Got my eyebrow pierced earlier. Only took about 5 mins from when I entered the shop. Barely felt it going through really.

Still got the ink on it

Matched pair of OL's tbh.

With 3.2mm rings, 12mm inside diameter.

I like symmetrical piercings...I like the whole 'balance' thing.

*n

What is an OL?

*poke*
Be careful getting changed you can catch it easily on clothes. Swollen yet?

Heh yeh caught it once already. Hasn't swolen up too bad. If i come home drunk and merry tonight i might get round to uploading a picture ;p

I wanna get an ear one done now

One near the top, or the scaffold one (havn't decided exactly, and dunno if i'll get it done. Was going to get it on the same day as i got my eyebrow (yesterday), but didn't want to spend too much really

No swelling really, not much anyway -

(looks like i plucked my eyebrows there... but i don't lol!)

BTW, if i wanted to, coudl i get a loop to go through that? (don't want one, just looking at it the holes look too far apart).

And no where sold any retainers in "my size" in Canterbury yesterday

. Although, everywhere I went I was told I shouldn't use one yet anyway.
