I've had my ears pierced for a while now nothing more just some earrings and I dont really intend on getting anymore than that, but alot of guys at my high school seem to be getting more and more piercings. So people, do you think piercings look good on guys in general ( cartilage, ears,nose,lip etc) obviously some people wont look good in them but most people with just there ears pierced look fine. Just trying to figure out why some guys like lip piercings in stuff im not against it, but I just think in general it doesent look very good unless you can pull it off really well.

Personally I find these stupid and rather disgusting, but that is subjective, I just can't see how you would enjoy having a part of your body pierced. Doesn't look good imo, and it hurts when you are accidentally hit there.

I think it just depends I have seen guys with multiple piercings and it just looks bad on them. Compared to my friend who I work with, he has over 20 piercings; a lot of them on his face and ears and I think they look good on him. I guess it just depends if you think the piercings would look right on you. But I myself and quite fond of eyebrow and lip piercings lol.

It matters a little, I have one of my ears pierced since I was a baby even though I don't really wear anything in it. My sister has those gages or whatever and they make your ear look disgusting and they make your ears smell like rotten chopped up feet.

I think it's ugly. But I'm a guy so...
As a child, I was told that society is a melting pot of talents; knowledge and experience combined to form important alloys that will contribute to mankind. When I got to highschool, however, I thought that it's more like a river in which the water represents our peers while we ourselves are the stones in the river. Constant erosion by mindless majority sheeping has made us lose our unique edge. After I hit the age of 18, I realized that I've been wrong all along. Society is no melting pot. Society is no river. Society is a person, a very skilled rapist, and he has fucked us all.

Only if the piercing hasn't fully healed yet. I could bash my healed piercings and they wouldn't hurt at all. My conch piercing is still pretty raw though, now that would hurt a lot if I bashed it.

I think with piercings, they only look good if they compliment your features. If a piercing is drawing too much attention, then usually it just doesn't suit the person who has it. A close friend/ex of mine has seven piercings, and to be honest I hardly ever notice them. Even though he accumulated more and more in the years we were together, I barely noticed them. He doesn't deny that he got his tongue and nipple pierced "just to know how much it would hurt", the rest he got simply because he thinks they look good - the same reason most people get piercings.

Some people will go through a phase of getting lots of piercings as a kind of statement of rebellion, or just to push their pain barriers. But like I said, I personally think they only look good if they compliment your features. Less piercings generally look better than more though.

Depends on where they get them for me, on both sexes. Some guys look nice with some piercings, but you really need a specific facial structure to pull it off.

Just whatever you do, do not get this


It frankly makes me want to pull on it every time I see someone with this.

Whenever I see people with tunnels that big, I get a sudden urge to put a padlock through the hole and lock them to the nearest fence or something. And don't get me started on how tunnels give off a very nasty smell.

Tunnels can look good if they're small though, I like the look of this:

So long as it's inconspicuous and not an enormous gauge(Smaller gauges are fine), I think they can look good. I don't have an absolute preference though.

I just have my ears pierced, I wear studs that I think look relatively nice and im a guy but the hole is small, so if I take it out no one will even noticed I had my ears pierced. I dont think huge tunnels look good on guys, I mean like pretty much your whole lobe is gone and it looks really weird, plus I dont think you would be able to even get a job even if you had really good qualifications because it comes down to your looks alot.

I think someone like marianas trench pulls off his lip and nose piercing quite nicely it looks good on him.

For me piercings (on both genders) are not a matter of good vs. bad, but a matter of how much worse. Of course I find plenty of people with piercings attractive, but I can't say I've ever thought they wouldn't be more attractive without them, even if just a little.

Just yesterday I met a really cute girl who rocked a lip ring and nose stud well, but I can't help thinking she'd be even better looking without them.

imo, no to both guys and girls. only normal earrings are fine. if a guy wears earrings, its gotta be a baller status diamond. gauges and multiple piercings are ugly. having a fat ass hole in your body doesn't look cool. i know people that have regretted getting gauges because their ear didn't close all the way and were stuck with a fatty gap a decade later.
NEETs (No Employment Education Training) are the least desirable people anybody would want to hire and yet they are the first choice to become moderators/admins around the internet. They have yet to have established a sense of responsibility or role in society and many are plain leeches (with minor exceptions). They are given "authority" to police sections of the internet with the powers of The Judge, Jury, and Executioner. Isn't that weird?

My bro just called me asking whether he should get one, saying he'd rather trust me than himself, told him I'd give it a thought.

Though I'm a skeptic, it's not like one on the ear's gonna make a world of difference - but if you're gonna roll with piercings you'd better give it some effort, otherwise it's gonna end up looking bland and 'piercing for the sake of piercing', kind of like those generic tattoo motives; at least he didn't ask about one of those.

Edit: Yes, if you are comfortable with yourself and appearance.

imo, on guys or girls, 3 piercings tops (on the face). i have personal preferences. i'm not a fan for over the top nutter metal hanging off someones face. If you are going to do it, keep it classy. (i realize that many of you think any piercing is less than classy)

I've had several - labret, conch, septum, tragus. but this was in the 90's, and I was a raver for most the decade. i don't know about ravers now but it was super popular for that crowd back then. now everyone has them. sort of ruins the fun tbh. sorry if that offends anyone :)

All I have left is my tragus and i love it. super subtle. i miss my conch piercings alot but had to take them out for nursing school.

i like ear (cartilage) piercings best. They can be bold without drawing too much attention.

and if you get pierced, you've got the have the attitude to wear it. style is personal and if you stick out from the crowd, you gotta own it.

Is your body so you can do whatever you want with it. I like piercings, not having them cause I don't like to feel pain, but I do agree that people look cool with them. But I have a problem when you have like a hundred of them, it hurts to see people like that.

I like piercings. A lot. They're second in line when it comes to really attractive things on people (the first being glasses, but glasses + anything but ear piercings is a big no). I don't know why I like them. I just do. I don't actually have any piercings myself though. I've never been interested.

Although...

Most guys that I've seen and come across haven't looked bad with them and in some cases even more attractive, but I can't speak for the rest of the pierced male population.
I don't like big or huge gauges though, or lots of facial-spikes- piercings.

I really don't like piercings in general. Ear piercings only look attractive on some girls, and every other type of piercing is just a no-no. I don't get why guys get ear piercings, especially ones that dangle from the ear lobe. It just makes them look feminine.

Tongue piercings are absolutely repulsive no matter the circumstance, ESPECIALLY when girls have them.

In general, anything other than discreet ear piercings looks stupid imo. Sure it can be done, but then you'd have to tailor your style in to fit it (ie, scenekid, goth, punk etc), and thereby locking yourself into those few styles.
I mean, just imagine one of those faces that look like they've eaten a 12 gage slug, and picture it in a nice formal suit and dress party. Sure doesn't work in my book.

It depends on the place

For girls I like bellybutton and ears, guys I like in the lip and eyebrow, it also depends on how the person looks but not I don't like to see more than one piercing(except for the ears)

I used to wear earrings, but not anymore. It's not that they look tacky or anything...I just don't wear em. Some guys/girls look good in it, some don't.

Also, I've seen gauges in all sorts of sizes and I have to say the very big ones are crazy. Imagine being 70-years old with gauges that big.

I like the look of small gauges though.

I agree with what was said above. It can look good, but I'd always prefer someone without that (at least in RL), be it earrings or other piercings.

I used to have my ear pierced but the hole closed. Personally, I don't have a huge need to get it repierced but I did spend like $50 on earrings.....sigh.

Also a lot of girls have told me I should get an eyebrow piercing for some reason. Definitley not gonna do it though because I had a friend who had it and it looked like a real pain in the ass. He even got an infection like that.

it depends on your looks, personality and features etc. not everyone can pull it off well.

but in the long run maybe its a bad idea because it won't look nice anymore when you are older..

I think it completely depends on where you're getting the piercing and the structure of the feature. Like ear piercings generally don't look good on people with round faces or huge ears.
I have 3 ear piercings and one nipple and personally I've had more compliments than bad comments from the people I've met so I'd say if you want to get one done go for it :p
But I do agree that the big flesh tunnels are pretty disgusting...

I think it really depends on the person and the peircing. Some people can pull off, lets say a lipring, while others cant. It really depends on the persons face. I don't really care about ears as long as they dont have holes that I can stick a golf ball through. I personally love piercings when they are done well.
