Some guys look good with them, some guys don't. So tell me, could I pull off a lip ring [off-centered on my left]? yes or no

and also, if I got it and didn't like it, would there be a scar if I took it out?

Its hard to tell if it will suit you, i tried to picture it.. when i did.. it didnt look quite right.

if you do get itdone and dont likeit... yeahthere may be a little scar. But it also depends on how easily you scar. i would say that it will scare b/c it is going to be a hole lol.

in the 2nd picture u would look really bad with one. the other two are it would look fine with but generally emo guys with black kinda long hair would get it...

haha I'm not really emo at all....actually I look completely opposite of a typical emo. I have light hair and tan skin haha. But thanks for the opinion. Idk I've just had a couple of my lady friends say I should get one.

They won't look good, you have that feminime look. So you don't want to influence that look more with rings. Your face is naturally really roundish so it really doesn't work on that face shape either.

But if you really want one go get it. I'm not stoping you, it's your life.

It's not a bad thing really, some girls love that look while others don't. It's just naturally if it will make you feel better I'll name a few feminime people, hmmmm let's say that guy from Home Alone now adult of course looks feminime and Lance Bass from n-synce, but Brad Pitt doesn't. I could go on, but thats the only two I could think of because they just came to my head when I thought of girlish.

hey. i love lip rings. but it has to be on the right person. you have cute lips so i think if you got a lip ring it would ruin them and just take the attention away. so i'd say no.

SuperTrooper

oh well there's worse things I guess...you could've compared me to a woman I suppose....

I personally think it would look totally hot. Especially in the first picture. But it all depends on personal opinion.

I don't think it would work. From what I can tell you have soft facial features. A piece of metal protruding from your face won't do much for you IMHO.

No. You wouildnt.

Think up of an original/not so popular piercing.

In my experiences, the more people who have piercings the more you hate your own because your constantly looking at them and it gets boring.

Yea, get your eyeball pierced. That sounds like a great idea! And then when you can't see, and it gets infected and dies, and falls out and you have a hole in your face, thank mango.

No. There is plenty of other standard piercings you can make original.

eyeball piercing aye? Sounds kinda hawt omgz...

There's so many mixed opinions, some are saying yes, some no. I'm more confused now than before I made this thread haha. But thanks for the help anyways everyone.

Most girls will say lip piercings are hot.

Most women will say they are tasteless.

Think about that...

Immature girls grow out of themselves eventually :D

I used to think piercings and tattoos were hot...

But then again I'm a really boring/bland person and I like hanging out with college GRADUATES so...

If you want any other girl to find you a bit hotter, go for it, but if you want a really smart, well rounded girl to find you attractive, I'd say don't go for it.

Remember; those "any other girls" tend to be the more attractive ones, and the latter tend to be...wallflowers. Like me :D
edit: except I'm really not that wholesome, I've just messed up in my life so much and have learned from my mistakes and am TRYING to be as wholesome as posible.

Haha wow way to make me feel like a shallow bastard :(

you make some good points. I have no idea whether I'll get it or not now. At this stage in my life, would you say yes or no to it?

I wouldn't say yes or no to it, depending on what kind of lifestyle you are wanting to live.

As stupid and conservative and closed minded as this may sound, lip piercings don't quell well with certain people/groups/organizations, but quell very well with certain other people/groups/organizations.

Just think of this : what kind of people do YOU know who would get a lip piercing or have one, and what kind of people do you know who would never get one?

SuperTrooper
09-05-2006, 08:46 PM
Yeah that's something to consider. Well at this point in my life I want one. You think it'd leave a scar later on?

Axl_Rose22
09-05-2006, 08:59 PM
Nah it will just leave a teensy little hole.

SuperTrooper
09-05-2006, 09:58 PM
cool. OK...I think I'll get it then. Probably this summer when I graduate.

Axl_Rose22
09-05-2006, 10:02 PM
I used to want a couple of piercings as soon as I turned 18, then I realized I only want them until I turn like 25..so..why bother.

SuperTrooper
09-05-2006, 10:32 PM
Well I just did some research....

it only takes 6 hours for the hole to heal up completely, and there's a barely noticeable dot as a scar. So yeah I can always get rid of it when I'm older I suppose...

AvariPuppet
09-05-2006, 11:36 PM
It was mentioned above, but I second the idea of buying a fake one to see how it looks before actually getting a real one. It's hard to visualize.

feistybitch
09-05-2006, 11:40 PM
omg, DO NOT get it. you look exactly like this kid jared at my school and he's like totally country. those girls just want you to get one cuz they think piercings=bad boys and that its so sexy, but its not. it'll make you look more feminine than you already are.

and whoever has their eyeball pierced is really stupid and it's nothing to brag about.

death1334rock
09-06-2006, 03:02 AM
Uhhg. It doesn't matter that much what other people think. I can see why you'd ask what would work on your face or not, but you shouldn't decide whether to or not to get it based on what other people will think of it and what different kinds of girls will think is "hot"..

You should get piercings, or any other modification to your body, for YOU. Because it makes you look how YOU want to look, not because it makes you look how other people want you to look.

Not all girls who like tattoos and piercings are immature, and not all girls who dislike tattoos and piercings are mature, either. Whether or not one likes body modifications really has nothing to do with your maturity level..(Except in the case of a lot of kids who go through phases of liking certain piercings and tattoos, because it's what's "cool" at the moment, or whatever.. But that's the same with ANYTHING that can become trendy, really. That doesn't mean that there aren't both older and younger people that genuinely like it, regardless of how mature they are)

I think you've said the most truth out of everyone.

I really do want one, I'm not getting it for anyone else. I was just curious if it would look ok or not.

Like 10,000 other people said, get a fake one, see how it looks. If you get it and truly hate it, just take it out, it'll be a tiny dot under your lip, and no one except MAYBE your dentist will notice.

Try a fake one, that's what I do all the time,...just for fun though. It's nice to pretend you look different sometimes!

But just fake one, and see how it looks, post some pictures, and get some reactions.

(sorry if someone said this already)

Here's an idea, sorry if someone already posted it but I don't feel like reading every single reply.

Go to Claire's and buy a spring-hoop or magnetic stud or other non-pierced ring to imitate the look you'd be going for. Wear it around for a month or so, see what people say and how you think it looks--maybe post a picture here? If you decide you want it after that, then go for it.

If you want a facial piercing get a nose or eyebrow, they would look better on you.. A lip ring just wouldn't suit you at all.

Drummer_gurl
09-13-2006, 07:16 PM
yeah, its hard to tell by pictures if it would "suit" you.
but it shouldnt really matter.

i have my lip done and when i got it i had wanted it for like a year. i didnt really care what people were going to think or even if it would look good, all i cared was how much i wanted it.

so if you really want your lip pierced, go for it.
Don't just get it to fit in though.

if you want it do it.
If you take it out, chances are that there will be a scar.
but i highly suggest you do not take it out right after you get it done.

if you get it done and dont like it..wait about 2 months or until it is healed (the normal time for healing is around 2 months).
taking it out before it is healed isn't a good idea.
