Poll: Piercings?

[child of lileth]

I don't have any, not even my ears. I'm allergic to some kinds of metal, so I don't think it would turn out too well if I tried to get any done.

i had a friend that had tattoos removed to join the police just to get turned down because he had his lip pierced. you will get employed, it is just hard to get a career, depending on what you want to do.

Well i won't know until August what college course i'll get (stupid Irish system) but hopefully i'll be studying genetics. So it's a 4 year course minimum, probably more, then... some kind of job. So i mean having it pierced for couple years of college can't be that bad can it?

it should be ok if you intend on working in a lab and/or if you are guarinteed a job through your course. also, if you have another 4 years, you should be fine. you think Ireland is bad tho, try living in England, about 10,000 uni places and about 60,000 jobs cut, i'm in the shit lol

yeah we heard something about 2 applicants for every one college place this year so crazy point rises to get into anything. pretty crazy

Hmmm don't have any myself, but I did date a girl that had a tongue piercing.

Suffice to say it felt reaaaaallly good.

Also not planning on getting any, evar prolly.

 

[Zhukov]

None here.

I never really saw the appeal in dangling bits of metal from various parts of my anatomy.

Don't find it attractive either. Even plain ol' earrings strike me as a bit icky.

 

[JanatUrlich]

I have both of my ears done, my nose and my left nipple.

I fucking love piercings <3

My dad hates it all and currently isn't talking to me because he only found out about my tattoos and my nipple piercing a week ago.

Your mum will get over it, trust me.

 

[Sougo]

Nope. Won't ever get one either.

Don't want a cavity and strip search every time I go to the airport.

 

[HTID Raver]

do yourself a favor and dont get one

 

[Evil the White]

I hate needles, therefore no piercings or tats for me, thanks.

 

[Gethsemani_v1legacy]

I have my ears pierced, got that done when I was six years old. I have been too cowardly (and too classical in my appreciation of the human body) to pierce anything else, unlike my sister who's done ears, tongue, nose, lip, eyebrow and nipple.

 

[Hurr Durr Derp]

I used to have my ear pierced a long time ago, but I thought it looked kinda dorky so after a while I just let the hole heal.

And then there's this whole "fear of needles" thing that assures I'll never get another one.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

I don't have any or particulaarly want any, but I'm not opposed to them. I know plenty of people who have them, and for some styles it suits them. I'm thinking about some discrete tatts though.

 

[Sebenko]

I don't have any, but I think *cough* certain piercings look good on the ladies, if you catch my drift.

 

[deus-ex-machina]

I used to have my upper ear pierced when I was 13/14, but I let it close up many years ago. Now I don't have any piercing but I don't begrudge those who do. I just think simple studs in each ear for guys looks a bit girly. And those stretchy things aren't that cool at all. Aren't you left with that stretched skin for the rest of your life?

In terms of employment, some professions will insist you wear no jewellery except wedding bands and even then, I think there are forms to sign. And basically, anything but the ears could lead some uptight employees to worry about your public appearence. For some reason, I've known people to get really offended when they're offered the job they APPLIED for, but on the basis that they remove their piercings during work. I just think it's rude that people could be so angry that they've been asked not to wear nose rings or a Prince Albert.

 

[De Ronneman]

I'm a dude, and I personally think men shouldn't get any bodypart pierced, other than their ears. Same goes for women for that matter. I think that some people, a VERY small group, can pull it off, but the majority looks tacky...

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Don't have any peircings and don't want any either. I don't think they look nice and can't understand why you'd want to poke loads of holes in your body. But if that's what you want to do then go ahead.

 

[Ekit]

I have no piercings and don't plan to get either.

 

[Cody211282]

I'm a man so no, I don't have any piercings.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

I just have this thing about trying to avoid deliberately permanently changing my body. No piercings, not tattoos, none of that. Unless someone invents a safe way to make me 2-3 inches taller without destroying proportionality, in which case I'm there.
