Smile First Piercing

Hi! I want to get a piercing on my face and I don't know which to choose. What's popular, what's easier, least painfull, ect.
I don't have a clue of what I am doing. Oh and I hear plenty about infections and shit like that. I don't care how much it hurts, I want a piercing!

My tongue didn't hurt, and it healed very quickly.

My nose kind of hurt, healed with no problems.

Other than that, all of my piercings have been on the ears...Lobes didn't hurt, cartilage hurt a bit, and my industrial hurt like a mother fucking bitch.

Instead of asking us, I think you should look up the different kinds of facial piercings there are and see which ones you like best and then study your face and decide on which one would look best on you.

I'm not meaning to insult you, but asking someone else what piercing you should get based on popularity and such is just as stupid as asking someone else what tattoo you should get permanently marked onto your body for life.

This modification is something you're going to have to live with so it should be YOU that decides what would look best, what you like most and so on. We're not going to live with this thing on our face. YOU ARE. So it's your decision.

I'm not insulted killer_asian_Dax, your right. But I am not aiming to please those around me. Hell no! I just wanted an opinion on what one matched my face.

Oh and heres a pic GratefulGrunger.

Opteron_Man, I don't normally go in for facial piercings, but I do believe a nasal septum piercing might look interesting on you as well.

I'm not a piercing person..So completely ignore me when I advise against piercings. It ruins your cute face.

I was just thinking the same thing. Post a pict of the piercing though, Opteron_Man.

I've been vaguely thinking of getting my labret pierced... but I don't know if it would suit my look or what. I think I might just look better without a face piercing...

I always wanted my eyebrow done. Eventually I got it and I love it!
I've also wanted to get my lip done on my bottom lip near the corner. But then I bought a hoop to see what it would look like and I didn't like it. Maybe the hoop was too big I'm not sure, but it's definitely put me off the idea.

I went for my industrial first. Really kicked all fear out of me for the rest of the ones I wanted later. I reckon you'd look good with one; they suit everyone imo and you've got the right kind of ear shape for it.

And shame on you for knowing nothing. Go to www.bmezine.com and spend at least a few hours there finding out about aftercare, infections, types of piercings, reccommended jewellery, etc. and read through some of the piercing experience stories for some of the piercings you're thinking of to see how other people found the experience.

[edit]
O, you did it. Haha. That was a quick decision. I spent a couple of weeks after I decided on mine getting psyched to do it.

Well killer_asian_Dax, it wasn't really painfull at all. Just a little prick and that's it. In fact, I remember giggling after it went in because I remember people telling me "oh yea! it hurts! blah blah blah!"
Oh well, maybe other piercings DO hurt a little I don't know.

I like the lip ring on you. I'm not a fan of eyebrow piercings at all though (not just on you..on anyone in general).

I've ALWAYS had a thing for lip rings, I think they're dead sexy. I've tried getting snakebites (one one each side of the bottom lip) twice now, but each time they would never heal well and I had to take them out. I've finally given up on them.

I had a labret that healed perfectly, but after 2 years I had to take it out because it wore the gums away from my two lower front teeth, and I had to get a skin graft to replace my gums or I was going to lose my teeth.

I've really wanted a bridge piercing for many years...but my husband won't let me get it.
