Q&A for How to Decide Which Piercing Is Best for You

Yes, of course. It can be sexy, regardless of sexual orientation.

It usually depends on which career you are going for. If you're going for engineering, looks aren't important. However, a teacher will more likely have problems if he/she has a piercing.

If you want to play it conservative, stick with your ears, nose, or body piercings that can be easily covered with clothes.

Using sites like Google or Bing are good ways to find pictures of piercings. However, if you're looking for information on the piercing and the picture, going to piercing sites and groups are a good choice.

You'll probably get grounded, and may or may not have to have it removed. Try asking first, and use disobedience as your last resort.

Choose the side of your face that you think would look the best with a piercing. It's really completely up to you.

You could choose eyebrow, nose, or tongue. If you aren't sure where to begin, the eyebrow might be a good choice since the scar won't be very noticeable if you change your mind.

Maybe you should be happy with the piercings you have. Piercing besides earlobe piercings tend to get infected. But if you want to take the risk, maybe a cartilage or nose piercing.

Look up Rook, Daith or Helix piercings. Helix are the most common of piercings. Daith piercings help with headaches. Rook piercings are a little less noticeable then the others. Another one you could try would be a Forward Helix.

It depends on how old you are. If you are a legal adult, then you can get a tattoo. Simple. However, if you are underage, talk to them about it in a respectful way. Ask them why they don't agree with it. They will be more likely to listen to you if you listen to their concerns. If they say no adamantly, then just wait, you will be an adult soon enough. Take into consideration as well, "Will I want this tattoo when I am 30? Will I want my partner or kids to see this?"

You could get your helix pierced or your nose.

I'd say an eyebrow piercing or a teardrop piercing (below the eye, also known as "anti-eyebrow"). The tongue is always a good option too, if you have a high pain tolerance.

Yes, they can. To lower the risk, you should wear rings or circular barbells.

Most of the time, yes! Just to be safe, check your school's dress code to make sure they don't have any rules again piercings.

The main risks are cosmetic; you could end up with an unsightly bump.

If you want something on your face pierced, I recommend a nose piercing.

Maybe, but perhaps you should look into shaping your eyebrows or using makeup to make them look different first. A piercing will only draw more attention to your eyebrows, so this might make the situation worse for you.

Lobe, double helix, and septum piercing would look best. With an oval shape, almost every piercing looks good on you.

They are as long as you're inside and wearing your hair down. Outside, your hair can easily get blown away from your ears by the wind.

Take note of your options and determine your preferences, then go with whichever one you feel suits you best. Note that some piercings heal better than others, should you decide to remove it.

Buy a fake septum piercing and wear it around for a week or so. It will give you an idea of whether it suits you and whether you like the look of it.

Probably a lot more tolerant of multiple ear piercings than facial piercings. You'll most likely be just fine.

A cartilage piercing can be very painful unlike the earlobes. I suggest getting your second piercing before you try something bigger like that. It's your choice.

Yes.

Consider asking yourself things like will it suit my personality? Or, do I want it to bring more attention to my lips? think about these things if you are unsure and if you still are unsure try using a paper clip and make a labret and try it on. If it is not your thing but you still want a facial piercing, try a nose or eyebrow piercing but make sure to test it before you do something you might regret.

You can. The longer your piercing has been in the less likely it is to close up and is more likely to leave a scar. If your piercing has only been in a short amount of time it will close quicker. If you have only had it in for a short amount of time, you should give it some more thought. Keep in mind that when a piercing has healed, you can change the jewellery.
