I was thinking about getting a peircing, but I'm not sure where.
I was wondering if you could let me in on the pros and cons of the places I list and what you would recommend me getting. (Here are the ones I am considering)
*Nose
*Labret
*Lip
*Tongue
*Nipple
Or if you have any details on another peircing I didnt list (other than ears cuz I already have plans for my ears) or recommend me peircing soemthing else.
Oh and which is the easiest to take care of?
I hope this all made sense.
Thanks for the help.

Oh and By the way...
I'm not getting peircings because they are trendy.
I could care less
I just like them lots, but want to know this info. so I can my the right choice...
You dont have to go be mean about it (yes, EmTay21, I am talking about you)
You dont have to call people trashy, out of still and skanky... Grow up a little (you say your 22, then act ike it)... it's what they like. (I take offense because a few of my friends have some of them dond and they are far from skanky, trashy, whatever.)
Thank you to everyone who's being nice when saying their opinions.

2006-11-04 08:57:30 · update #2
well u should get the one that best suits u...u should also check with ur employer(if u have 1) if its ok to have facial peircings but here are the risks dealing with those peircings...
LABRET- The main health risk associated with labret piercings is gum erosion. The disc which sits against the gums rubs against them and can, over time, result in the thinning of the gums. The risk can be reduced by proper placement and proper jewelry. The disc should be very thin in width.
LIP-Most lip piercings have the potential to damage both teeth and gums if proper jewelry is not worn, or if the placement of the individual piercing is poor. Labret piercings can result in gum erosion over time. Lip rings do not touch the gums. A home-made saline solution is a common way to heal a lip piercing and avoid infection. Combine 1/8 tsp. sea salt to 1 cup of warm water. This solution can be used to rinse out the mouth after eating and to soak the outside of the piercing using a cotton ball. Anything with alcohol, peroxide, iodine, or any strong soaps should be avoided because they may irritate the fresh piercing, and cause additional swelling and trauma. During the healing process, kissing should be avoided to prevent infection.
NIPPLE-The nipple is fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection. However, if the jewelry gauge is too thin or the piercing isn't deep enough to begin with, there is a risk of rejection. Metal allergies could cause it to reject. Problems with infection and/or too much tugging and pulling on it could also cause it to reject.
TONGUE-There is a minor risk of heavy bleeding if a vein is hit; however, a qualified piercer should have no problem avoiding blood vessels. Some bleeding is normal, however, if it cannot be controlled, a medical professional should be contacted.
A tongue piercing can also cause suicide disease.[1]
The piercing has a tendency to heal a bit crooked as a result of the frenulum's placement in the exact center of the tongue. This is usually undetectable by anyone except the piercing's owner, but in some cases it can be quite pronounced.
Tooth and gum damage are risks, but they can be minimized by proper placement, the use of properly-sized jewelry, and avoiding playing with the piercing. A bar that is very large-gauge or too long can greatly increase the risk of chipped teeth or gum erosion, and excessive impacts of the metal against the teeth can cause micro-fractures in the tooth enamel.
Because of the tongue's exceptional natural healing ability, piercings will close very quickly. Even completely healed, very-large-gauge holes can close up completely in a matter of just a few days.
other forms of piercings are:
A Monroe piercing, also known as a Madonna piercing, is a piercing in the part of the face between the top lip and the nose. It is typically meant to resemble a beauty mark. Some say that the name depends on whether the piercing is on the left or right side of the face (Marilyn Monroe's beauty mark was on the left side, and Madonna's beauty mark is on the right side), but the terms seem interchangeable. Monroe is the more common, widely used name.
Navel piercing is a type of body piercing, far more common among women than men, where the skin surrounding the navel is pierced and jewelry is inserted. Depending on the amount of skin available for piercing, it may heal quickly and with few problems, like an ear piercing, or it may heal more like a surface piercing, with the associated rejection risks and extended healing time. Healing of this piercing can also be complicated by irritation and damage caused by clothing, especially waistlines or tight clothing, or the position of the navel relative to the bend of the waist. The actual navel is not pierced when a navel piercing is performed. The most common form of navel piercing is through the upper rim of the navel.

I have my tongue, nose and tragus pierced (along with plenty in my ears). I love all of them. My tongue didn't swell much, and I could talk fine. It's pretty easy to hide. For the nose, labret and lip, you're major problem is hiding it. It could become a problem when looking for a job.
In the end, it's up to you. The nipple piercing bleeds a lot. The tongue can swell up and get infected. Usually the lip gets infected a lot as well. If you do a bit of research, a lot of piercers say that the nose is the easiest to take care of, and the least likely to get infected. However, as long as you take proper care of them, piercings should be fine.

The type/location of a piercing is personel preference. Everyone is going to experience a different level of pain and a different amount of healing time. Piercings I've had include my eyebrow, lip, snakebites, tongue, nipples, nose, nape, and monroe. The least painful was my monroe. The most painful was the second time I pierced my nipples because it was through the scar tissue. The piercing that sucks to heal is the lip because of the swelling.

On a side note: growing up has nothing to do with realizing piercings are "skanky"...it has to do with accepting people for who they are, being open minded, and not being so judgemantal and labeling everyone.

Nose is the safest, and easy to take care of. The pain isn't too bad. I would go with that.
Nipple piercings can migrate, or grow out. They can get caught on clothing, leave scars, and can become easily infected.
Labret and lip piercings can cause gum damage and are prone to scar tissue (nasty white scar tissue in your inner lip, built up around a piercing is disgusting).
Tongue piercings are difficult to take care of and in some people, effect speech.
Talk to a piercer, they could tell you a lot more.

Out of all of those i think tongue is the least painful. also the labret is not too bad. Lip and nose would probably be the easiest to take care of. I have my trachus pierced and that was very very painful!!!!!!!! Not hard to take care of though. You didnt mention that one.

I would get my tongue pierced again, I took it off but would get it again. It did hurt like hell for some hours and i kept biting on it but I don't like belly because everybody has that, and I don't wanna be a follower, nose it hurt like hell and I was bleeding so much so I took it off for job. Lip, is a 80's thing. and I have never seen a eyelid piercing. But I would get a marilyn Monroe piercing though, looks good.

The nose is so unoriginal - every skank has one
Labret looks trashy
Tongue rings are so 1999
The nipple hurts and you will permanently have a hole there. It is very prone to infection and you will have complications when you get pregnant and start to lactate. Because the nipple has been literally mutated... the mammary glands and ducts will get infected.
I know a lot about piercings b/c I used to have 20. I took them all out because I grew up. I am 22 years old now and regret I ever did that. Why don't you try to be a unique individual and not ruin yourself with stupid piercings? When I was young, it was a form of expression... Now it is just the "trendy" skanky thing to do.

I have my nose done. I really like it. What's really important is whether or not you will like it once you have done it. Piercings are a personal choice. Good luck.
