Which piercings to get?

:) Asked by merriemac about 1 year ago, 5 answers.

I want my boyfriend to get piercings. He said eyebrow is fine but preferably tongue. But I was reading online about tongue piercings and it says that tongue piercing causes all kinds of dental problems such as gum and teeth chipping and breaking. That's...

just disgusting!!! My boyfriend got a perfect set of teeth and I would like to keep it that way. I'm sure he do too. We both really want his tongue pierced but not if it seriously is going to cause those problems. Is it just a myth??? I know a couple of people who's teeth looks fine with their tongue piercings but I do know one that looks messed up I don't know if its from tongue piercing or not.

And eyebrow piercings would look nice, but he get in fights too often and I'm afraid it'll rip off.

So is tongue piercing really that unpleasant??

tongue piercings can cause those problems if you aren't smart about them... after you can replace the barbell in a few weeks after getting it pierced get placstic balls instead of metal. and be very careful when you eat and stuff, and get used to the new chewing ways too. your tongue could get infected, so you have to take REALLY good care of you mouth. and eye brow rings aren't going to be there forever, and if he gets in fights too often don't get it, that wouldn't be a smart move at all. funmail me if you need to know anything else.

make sure he wants to get one 100%
because its his decision, its going on his body
yes, tounge peircings do cause and contribute to those things
not with everybody however
the position and what jewellrey you wear can also affect it
but in the long tern its not likely to cause too much damadge
unless he gets punched in the face a lot of something?!
know all the other risks too
they can take anywere from 1 month to one year to heal
and its not advised that you change the peircing for at least 3 weeks at the very least)
to put a shorter bar in
also make sure he cleans it reguarly.
its definantly not a good idea to get an eyebrow ring if he gets in fights
eyebrow rings arnt permament anyway, they grow out withing a few months to a few years

Both are incredibly sexy.

EYEBROW-- I got my eyebrow pierced, its virtually painless. I didn't feel anything and it healed within a week. However, they are really easy to rip out and become dislodged from the skin, and have a higher chance of migrating.

TONGUE-- My fave 3 I'm a sucker for a guy with a tongue ring. I recommend this. And for the teeth? One efficient way to protect them is that after the initial healing process (5-6 weeks) once a professional tells you it's safe to switch rings, get one with a rubber ball, which is less damaging to teeth and gums, as it is way softer.

Either way, enjoy ;]!!

Ah. I wrote more about the tongue, but I put the greater than symbol there by accident so it cut it all off. Sorry =/ I can't remember what I said now. Oh yeah;

After the initial healing period of the tongue (5-6 weeks) once a professional tells you its OKAY to switch rings, I recommend getting a plastic or rubber ball so that it doesn't damage the teeth or gums as much. [It's softer]. Either way, enjoy!
