Eyebrow Piercing?

Basically unless your planning on being a Web Designer/Graphic Designer or something similar your career prospects will plummet through the floor, because essentially in the real working world your role is to represent your company, and looking like you probably slam Bongs every night isn't the sort of look most employers are remotely interested in because:-

1) They don't want to come across as the sort of company that employs druggies

2) You look like you slam bongs, and they'll assume you probably do.

Sad but true I'm afraid.
 
Seriously though. You guys are all ****ing idiots.

Especially Kadayi.
 
Over 40 posts in a thread about piercings and still no mention of Prince Albert. HL2.net, you disappoint me.
 
I have a prince Albert.

Would you like to see?

Hello.

It's really not that bad. It heals better than most piercings and it gives added pleasure to both parties.

Military + Piercings = No.

Yea I was going to with my brother, but my vision started to **** around (especially in the last few months) and I really wanted to be marksman and you need 20/20 for it.. It's bullshit. That was the reason I wanted to go. I may still go, but I don't want to as much now. I dunno what I'm doing anymore.
 
I'd say no. You look good now. I'd tap that.

Meh.

I'm not sure if you're serious, but if you are I'd really like to hear any real positive aspect to getting an eyebrow piercing.
 
Seeing as getting an eyebrow piercing is analogous to wearing skinny jeans, they're both equally gay.

So no.

Until your girlfriend gets mad at you one day because she wanted you to take her to the store, but you can't because you have to go to work and you're already running late, and the store is like a block away; she can just walk.

So you get home from work and she acts like everything is cool. You're in bed, you're kissing, making out, she slips under the covers to blow you. Shit is so cash. And then you hear, "Next time I ask you to take me to the store, you better fucking take me."

And she rips the ring right out with her teeth.

And you're screaming and you feel nauseous and you've got a gaping gash along the bottom of your penis from your glans to your frenulum, and you punch her in the fucking face. Hard. Like a couple times.

Later on, you'll draw a shitty MSPaint comic about it.

In case anyone gets the wrong idea, this wasn't a first-person experience. I just never saved said shitty comic. True story, though.

First you give me real positive aspects to the following things:

1) Rings
2) Ties
3) Necklaces
4) Men shaving their beards
5) Women shaving their legs
6) Women having pierced ears
7) Cars having a choice of colours

And so on.

You can't just say "Piercings are illogical". Of course, no one gets an eyebrow piercing in order to hang their keys where they can find them.
 
Piercings don't give you anything, they don't do anything for you. It's for looks, you look good you feel good. Or else you'd never buy new clothes unless your old ones literally fell apart, because you care about how you look.

Also what feath said.

Wrong. y'know, actually those guys here are right. Facial piercings do make people think you're a gay junkie/dealer and prostitute. This is great because it helps you filter out stuck-up homophobic (in your case) / sexist judgemental assholes from people actually worth your time. The only negative side effect is that it makes it harder to get a job, this is unfortunately very true.
 
Well I'm sorry for not being worth your time, you long-haired peacock.

Where the heck are you from that people think that about facial piercings? Most you'd ever get over here is, "I bet that person's into punk rock and is possibly a hooligan."

I've never been one to really do ANYTHING for looks, honestly, I'm the guy who just goes to walmart and buys clothes that fit and don't really care about anything like that. My usual outfit include: Running shoes, jeans, one plain coloured/band t-shirt (year round, always the same).

I figured maybe I should change that, give myself a new look or something, give 'fashion' a go. So I bought some different jeans (tighter, not faggy skinny jeans, still normal, just darker and tighter then usual, still comfy though), some shirts with things on them (not like dragon shirts, but some shirts with stripes, and things like that, they actually look good, better then the usual plain red, plain black, plain grey, etc), and I bought a new pair of running shoes.. I'm not changing my shoes to a different type, running shoes kick ass, so **** that. I bought a Rush belt buckle too (Snakes and Arrows one) (I normally don't wear belt buckles either). I don't know if this matters, but I'm going to get a tattoo, but it'll be on my back so not much people will see that, it's a personal thing I'm getting. Not something that 'OMG IS SO COOL'. Also I'll be getting glasses soon (my vision isn't what it used to be :( ) Probably just frameless square ones. But tehy won't obstruct the piercing because I don't have to wear them often, just when I drive and things like that.

So onto the topic here (I'm going to be waiting for the comments, oh boy I can't wait to see what yous say, especially ZT), should I get an eyebrow piercing?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyebrow_piercing

Here's me - Anyone think it'd look good?

I have no real reason I decided to change, I've just been bored and 'meh' lately, I've been wearing the same type of shit for like 5 years and figured it was time for change.

nigga you gay.
 
I think that was his point...

But anyway, piercings, yeah they are okay I guess. Though I whould never get one. Someone's bound to try to rip it from my face at some point.
 
I had my eyebrow pierced back when I was like 17/18... I liked it, until the piercing site turned into a giant zit and I had to pop it and it 'sploded all over the mirror. It was exceedingly gross. So much puss...

I already got a job, and it's not like you can't take it out for a few hours. Any job that I want won't really care about a piercing anyways, I'm not going to apply for some business man type job, so who cares? Hell there's this one chick at my work with red (like bright red) dyed hair, nose rings, like 30 eyebrow/helix/nose, etc etc and she still got a job, they hired her with those in her face.

Also you must live in a very bigoted/square place, pretty much (literally) everyone I know has a piercing, their nose/ears/lips/eyebrows/etc. It's very very common here.

You look like the way normal people in society are expected to look. Yes, the vast majority of fashion and grooming trends are unnecessary and pointless practically (you seemed to have just jumped to the conclusion that I don't know that). Does the pointlessness of established trends justify the creation of further pointless trends? At best, this will barely improve Dog's appearance, at worst it will make him seem less appealing to future employers or some one it's important to impress. I'd rather have whatever small amount of money it costs.

As Stern used to say: "Whatever floats your boat."


Seriously, if you don't care about - or rather, your future employers don't care - and you and your friends are OK with however you would look with piercings, don't let anyone discourage you.

I mean, in an environment like that, who cares?

Over here is an entirely different story. People think you're gay if you have piercings. It also makes you look unprofessional. I don't like the whole "unprofessional" look so I'm never going to have a piercing.



In all, your face, your choice.

There's a big difference between a Job and a Career. Sure you can cover yourself in tattoos and stick an horse shoe through your nose and get a job working at a 7/11 or in a bar, or somewhere where they pay you by the hour. But try and get a Job with where you're salaried and have genuine long term prospects and you've dramatically narrowed your options.

Also don't make the mistake of assuming what is right for the goose is right for the gander. Culturally women are the display species, so a degree of flamboyance in terms of hair colour/ jewellery /make up is accepted as a given.
 
i had my ears pierced for a while..i had the hoops with the balls and i looked like a bad ass

Why would a web/graphic designer job be any different?

Oh and, don't pierce yourself out of pure 'fashion'. You've got to have a passion for shit like that (tattoos, scar art, etc) or you'll end up regretting it.
Also, if you're trying to find a job, piercings pretty much limit you to working at a head shop, tattoo palor, musician (let's be realistic here, not really) clubs, (and your not tough enough to be a bouncer Dog--) and maybe game and music stores. So, most jobs that don't mind piercings either don't pay that great, or you have to have the f**king talent of Michaelangelo or DaVinci or the huge muscular body of Charles Atlas and the fighting skills of mutherf**king Chuck Norris. Otherwise, employers of normal jobs most of us are forced to drudge through everyday would just laugh in your holey face and call you a loser.

I don't know why Kadayi thinks web/graphic designer jobs are ok with it though unless your starting your own e-business or something.
 
Does nobody understand the concept of simply taking them out while working? It's not like they heal in 5 minutes, it takes like a day for them to even start closing. You know piercings aren't permanently embedded in your face, right?

Yeah, but you'll increase the chance of infection that way too.You could contract a penial fungus and lose your genitals all because, "you'd thought piercings would be cool".
