I'm going to get a piercing soon, I've decided on either a lip ring (centered) or a Labret piercing...But I can't decide which one.

I would appreciate some honest input with this

I would advise against piercing in places which could interfere with survival or reproductive functions. But that's just my opinion.

In lip vs chin, you're probably better off with chin. It won't get in the way of eating, and it might offer a good contrast against the goatee. Just be careful when trimming.

As a Supervisor I have passed over hiring people due to piercing that show. Especially lips, chin and eyebrow. To be blunt they were bad for business no matter what the knowledge or skill level of the person.

And in a social setting I have a hard time taking anyone seriously who decides to poke holes in their face. I see it as a sign of someone who is more worried about Trying to be different than actually being a productive person.

I personally find piercings on guys to be a turn off. And only a select few can pull off earrings.

My honest input would be to not go for another piercing, period.

You're probably tired of reading this, but I think that any (more) piercing is a bad idea for a guy. I do have friends that are girls that have a few piercings on their ear though, so *shrugs*.

That would look much better and/or less disturbing if she wasn't wearing ultra-tight pants with handles hanging over the top.

As for the piercing, if he needs to look professional in a couple years, he can take the piercing out. The hole would only show if he shaves his chin. Plus he's already got a few piercings, so it's not like this one will have a tremendous impact; he just needs to avoid ultra-large jewelry (like the chin rings in the demo picture).

Getting a piercing in a place where there are a lot of mucous membranes plus bacteria (lips and genitals mainly) can lead to that bacteria getting into your bloodstream. For those few unlucky to get this, it can get bad. Really bad. Like death bad in a few cases.

Hence why I don't like lip and genital piercings.

1. The example picture I used...The guy had his 'talons' custom made, and Of course I wouldn't be putting so huge into the piercing. A stud is fine enough.

2. If you want to make your smart ass comments, please take it elsewhere. I asked for a simple opinion, and not "EWW, piercings are gross and you suck." Just an honest opinion between the two piercings.

3. If I choose to put something metal into my face, and look like a dumbass, then I will look like a dumbass.

And, simply...When the time comes when whoever I'm dating says that it needs to come out, or when it's nessicary for a job, then it can be taken out.

Basically this is the "get the random shit out of your system" kinda thing. It might stay, it might not. If I bail on this piercing, I'll probably end up with my tongue pierced....No nipples thanks

The sad thing is they weren't all smartass comments. Some boasted good advice to help better your future.

But since looking out for our future selves is way too complicated, time consuming, and overall unhip, let's just plow ahead, shall we?

I'd reccommend staying away from tongue piercings for the same reason as I reccommended staying away from lip piercings. Mortious added an important point too; piercings inside the mouth (and genitals) can get infected. Stick with piercing stuff you don't actually use for survival, like earlobes, eyebrows, navel, chin, or (on a guy only) nipples.

I personally don't have any piercings, but I hate needles in general, and the idea of intentionally embedding a pin through myself bugs me. Plus I'm not a jewelry person; I don't even have a class ring. When I finally get married, I'll wear a wedding band, but that's about it.

As for my opinion on female piercings, only ear and naval piercings work. Nipple piercings turn me off, and clit piercings just make me cringe. As for facial piercings, I don't think males or females should get anything on their face pierced except for the ears. I just don't find lip, nose, chin, eyebrow, etc piercings to be attractive at all.

Gads, I remember when other people thought it was rebellious to get double-pierced ears not too mention an icky thing to do in my day.

Unfortunately, I think body mods will have to get worse before they get better. What I mean is, most people do it because it's trendy, in-a-rebellious-kind-of-way. Eventually, it'll be rebellious and trendy to not have any body mods. Which is why I think it's a trend.

Think long and hard about doing any body mods, particularly about the why. Asking others for their opinion probably means you are doing it for the trendy factor, not for the "self-expression" factor. Trends should be temporary things, like fashion styles and hair styles. Body mods are too permanent a decision for this purpose.

Think what your grandfather/grandmother would look like having said mod. Not a pretty sight, is it? Though I did see a 60-something woman with a barbell that pulled it off well.
