3. Wow, the piercer really missed your earlobe. That's what
she was aiming for, right?

5. I have this perfect little dent on the side of my nose, I
have been thinking about getting that pierced. I love those tiny little diamonds in noses, was thinking about getting a Sapphire too.

7. The thing I've always wondered about with nose studs...
Edited on Tue Oct-11-05 03:44 PM by Richardo
...don't boogers form, pearl-like, around the part that protrudes inside the nostril?

That would drive me crazy... :scared:

10. Must be painful with a bad head cold....
Hell, my nose gets sore when I have to blow so much that the skin turns red and starts peeling.

16. I've wondered that myself, but it wouldn't stop me from getting
it pierced. Thanks.

6. I had the same problem
Got my eyebrow pierced in Montreal where I was studying and then some gimp manager at the supermarket I was working part-time flipped out over it. For a while I was lining up to fight it (the only facial jewelry the employees handbook ruled out was nose & lip piercings) but I needed the job to keep a roof over my head.

9. That's lame...

I had my eyebrow pierced for two years, but luckily had no job to hassle me about it. (Though that didn't stop my parents from hassling me about it.)

I don't see the big deal, personally. As long as you don't go overboard with it, it seems so pointless for people to get up in arms about it. People just need to loose up and pull the sticks out of their asses.

11. Wow, you're brave. I don't think I would ever pierce my eyebrow.
Bummer about the flack from your HR dept. That sucks.

13. I wonder if they sell eyebrow hole retainers?
I have plastic retainers for when I can't wear my nose ring. Try this site: http://www.tribalectic.com/Home.asp

14. Do they have a written policy
against facial piercings? If not then I would fight it, how is it different then having ones ears pierced?

18. I like eyebrow piercings.
But my brother has his nose pierced. Not the cute little piercing on the side but the one through the middle (the frenum, is that the word for the middle part of your nose?) He wears a REALLY BIG RING in it. My mom and I both tell him he looks like a cow with a ring through his nose, like Elsie. So he doesn't wear it around us anymore. :rofl:
