How many different kinds of piercings are out there? We all know the common ones, the ears, the nose, and the belly button. Then there are the common, yet not so common ones. The tongue, the nose, the eyebrow, the lip, and so on. We’ve all seen some people take piercings way too far. Some have way too many piercings, or some people have insane gauges. Gauges are gross; not only because they look bad, but also they smell awful. The smell comes from raw skin that is being exposed to the air. Some people find them attractive and cool, but personally I find them nasty and unappealing. When you take them out, you have a huge hole in your earlobe and it is just dangling there. Gross! If they ever want to get rid of their gauges, they have to cut off the dangling skin so that their earlobe can go back to normal. What are you going to do when you get old? Be an old wrinkly person with huge dangly earlobes? Icky.
I think there are limits to how many piercings someone can get, and certain limitations to where they can get them. Any piercings on the ears would be fine, as long as it’s not a suicide. Any piercings on the face, unless it’s weird like right between the eyes, a bull ring, or the cheeks. The belly button is also one of the most common piercings. With the exception of the belly button I don’t find any other piercings on the body attractive or desirable. Especially, if someone is going as far to pierce their nipples or their genitals.
Now, there are some downsides to piercings. One would be infection. After getting a piercing you’ll probably get a long lecture on what to do to take care of the piercing and prevent infection. Granted, most people don’t wait the full time they tell you to wait until you change it, or take care of it with the disinfectants for as long as they tell you too. Another downside to piercings would be the job field. Depending on what you want to go into, many jobs frown upon piercings. You may not get a job because you have a piercing, that shows that is. Companies see it as unprofessional, and sometimes trashy. Now if you want to go into the piercing and tattoo business, feel free to get as many piercings as you want, because there it is acceptable; in fact, it is encouraged. If you want a job where you have to look professional, then you might want to reconsider getting any piercings that are visible; besides your ears of course. Even with the ears, limit how many earrings you put in when you go to work.
Some people look good with piercings, and others well, don’t. If you ever wanted to get rid of a normal piercing all you have to do is take it out before the time that it would be completely healed. The hole would just close up and it would be back to normal again, like it was never there. Just don’t plan to get it pierced again. Scar tissue will build up and you won’t have the blood flow there you need to heal the piercing.
If you are thinking about getting a piercing, think it through. Make sure it is something that will not interfere with your future and your abilities to do things, go places, and get certain jobs. You may think they look cool now, but when you are 65 years old, you may change your mind.
