What kind of cool piercing should I get?

So, first a description. I’m a slightly plump 19-year-old college student. Short light brown hair, goatee (well trimmed.) Look here for more.

I have a pair of 10g captives in my lobes, and I want another piercing.

Here are the stipulations:

Can’t be on my face (I just don’t like them, as a rule).
Can’t be in my “danger zone” (pubic area, AG won’t let me have them there)
Should be interesting (so no answers like “another lobe piercing”)
No industrials. Everyone and their dog have industrials.

That’s basically it. I was thinking of an anti-tragus, because they look neat, and I think they’re in a place on the ear that people will go “Is that a… that is a piercing!”

Opinions! :slight_smile:

None!

If Og wanted you to have holes made in you, stuffed with bits of shiney metal, Og would have sent Machine Gun Kelly to put them there, as Nature intended!

Now that’s not very interesting at all! :stuck_out_tongue:

You did, however, forget to tell me to get off your lawn.

Well, I think navel rings look hot on everybody, including me.

So, my vote goes to belly button.

Pierce your head. Get an arrow and laugh at that poser Steve Martin (old silent film star famous for fake arrow through head bit )

Nipples. Looks good on both men and woman.

I saw someone who had a small cbr in the webbing between their thumb and index finger once. I thought it looked neat, but would be a logistical nightmare to keep from being yoinked out.

How 'bout a 1/2 inch circle through the ankle, behind the Achilles. I haven’t seen that since about 12 AD.
(Waits for the inevitable links, because if you can pierce it, it’s been done.)

Did they really do that? And why?

I am anti-belly button rings on guys, sorry.

Go for the nipple. I would have done it if I were not in the Marines before and most women I talk to seem to like it. Plus nobody can see it unless you want them to.

The eyebrow is always an idea, also.

I’m not actually sure, to be honest. I had one teacher who claimed it was used as a slave-control measure for slaves who ran away repeatedly - the ankle pierced and a chain run through it. He never showed us any articles or provided any citation, however.

But, uh, yeah, it’s occasionally done today, (warning, pics that might be disturbing to some viewers.) but it’s concidered an extreme mod, even by hard core modders.

You could always get a surface piercing. It’s a bar that goes under the skin, with only a flat disc on either end showing from the surface.

Pick a piercing spot for an area you want to draw attention to.

Some day you may learn that “interesting” can be achieved by not following trends and being just like everyone else.

All men and only one woman? Which woman is this? Do we know her?

Dammit, Bobo, I was going to suggest his head!

(“Dammit, Bobo.” That is about the coolest thing I have ever typed. I think I’m going to have to incorporate it in all my posts from now on, maybe as my new closing salutation. :smiley: )

  • Dammit, Bobo.

Oops, sorry, my bad. Please forgive me, I’ve had a long day.

(but I would humbly suggest myself :wink: )

I used to work with a piercer, and whenever someone moseyed into the shop with the "What should I get pierced? question, he’d often respond “How about your spleen?” The ones that had no knowledge of their internal anatomy would say “Cool! How much does it cost?”

:eek:

More often than not, the person would walk out with a freshly-pierced navel. One of my least-favorite locations, actually.

At least you don’t want an industrial. I’ve not seen one that looks good yet - they just look like something to hang a cell phone earpiece from.

As another option, a friend of mine wears a couple of what look to be 10ga rings minus the balls as a sort of fake conch - there’s no actual hole in his ear. At a quick glance, the effect is “How the heck did they get those rings in there?!”

So we’re still doing this, and on the first response? How did you not manage to say it would make him look skanky, or freakish, or what have you? Seriously, do people responding to the body mods queries with “don’t do anything, it’s unnatural” never get tired of making these comments? I’m stepping in because I’m sure the last person to post as I am posting is probably tired of it.

C’Bear, I would suggest an orbital in the ear cartilage. I had one started as two perfectly placed CBR’s, and then when they had both healed, we swopped the two CBR’s out for a single CBR.

Not sure if this violates the “Not in the face” rule, but how about a tongue piercing. Sure they hurt like the devil at the time, and make you speak with a lisp for about 3 days, but they are totally worth it.

They look good, are fun to play with, are fun for your SO to play with, etc etc etc. They are, in my opinion, the most functional piercing you can get.

Also, if for any reason you don’t want people to see the piercing, they sell clear tongue studs that really do just disapear.

Something to think about.

Thank you. One of these days I may just break down and get “I do it to piss you off” tattooed on my forehead.
