I was just wondering what you guys thought about the trend involving getting lots of body piercing. Obviously, it is some kind of art form in one way or another, many countries and nationalities have body modifications/piercings engraved into their society as a social norm and in some cultures and/or tribes they are even seen as a status symbol. Obviously there is some kind of appeal behind this and I'd like your guys' two cents on it.

 

 

 

What do you think about piercings?

 

How many piercings do you have?

 

What would be the most extreme piercing you could ever see yourself getting?

Eh, I know a lot of people with all sorts of piercings. I could maybe see myself getting one of those thin lip piercings, but really a tattoo is more likely. I got a lotta friends with lips, eyebrows, noses, and bellybuttons pierced.

 

 

 

I currently have a goose-egg.

Ears look ok on a girl. Belly button looks lovely. Not so keen on any others really.

I'm generally OK with piercings, but what does drive me nuts are some of the places that people get pierced... Like the nipple. I don't know how comfortable a piercing is, but nipple piercing probably can't feel good, and it's in a place where people can't see it? Sometimes people will be able to see your tongue piercing, but they mostly won't. And I know that it can be unpleasant.

 

 

 

I can accept them as a style/fashion thing, but when you put them in places where people won't see them, that's just weird to me.

I think its absolutely disgusting.

God I hope not.

Would piercing my nipple make it more or less sensitive?

I don't have any problems with body piercings....in moderation of course. Ears, belly button: alright.

 

 

 

Some of the other, more exotic piercings: lip, eyebrow, tongue, others ( :shock: ) are different. I find them off-putting.

 

 

 

I can't see myself ever getting any piercings. I think I would look dead awful with one.

Except on the ears, I find piercings to be ugly.

Far more. ;)

 

 

 

Piercings are fine,and look good on those who suit it...I myself have one in my lip and two in my earlobe. As for piercings on women, I am all for it;tongue and lip piercings are a turn on.

I'm not into piercings, more into tattoos, but my girlfriend is obsessed with piercings. I convinced her out of Nose and Belly Button because those are way too cliche, but she's got a bunch of cool ones in her ears and she's going to get her tongue done soon. I'm looking forward to that one haha.

There's this 'scene' girl at our school and I heard her talking about wrist and neck piercings. :shock:

 

I'd like to get my lips pierced at one point in my life :D I'll probably do it when I'm away at Uni...

I wish. I want my eye brow pierced but I can't do that while I'm working for big name engineering firms and/or the government.

I know tattoos are socially accepted for the most part now.

 

 

 

I'd not get a piercing most likely, I am a trypanophobe, needles give me the creeps when I see them. I could stand a tattoo though.

piercings in places that make no sense = fail (like cheek, hip, chin, neck)

 

lip piercings=win

 

belly piercings don't make much sense to me.

 

and genital piercings are just kinda nasty.

 

but the main point is lip piercings are win.

 

and I [bleep]ing hate those giant ear gauge things. where it expands your earlobe so big someone could have sex with it.

 

those are just nasty.

Gauges and anything below the waist is terrible for me.

Yeah genital piercings are weird. And imagine a ring there combined with a tongue stud... reminds me of a hilarious post on SA about embarrassing sexual moments...

Nose (side) + tongue piercings make me =P~ then \

 

I never really got into piercing holes into myself, can't get used to all the extra parts

I never really got into piercing holes into myself,

 

 

 

I read that as "I can never really get used to piercing my holes"...

 

 

 

ROFL

Gauages arn't that bad. Well I feel that way because I have them. I'm at a size 8 right now, and hopefully go down to a 0. But anything past that is just too big. Anyone else out there gauaged or gauaging?

Unfortunatly, I actually want to get alot of piercings, stuff like industrial/scaffolding, various studs, in the lip, around the ear. A few rings, on eye brows and such. A bridge piercing.

 

 

 

I might consider getting my nipples pierced lol...

 

 

 

tattoos are a yes too.

Guages are weird dude... Why stretch your ear out like that? Like a permanent disfiguration you'll regret.

As long as you dont go bigger than 0 they will close up over time.

I can see myself getting a gauge in my left ear, but that's about it. Even then, I may not get a piercing. I am definitely getting a tattoo after I turn eighteen.

Me too, my last name is a perfect opportunity. Make sure you pay good money for it, and do your research.
