can't check bebo in work
unless your name is deceiving I would guess you are a guy. Don't recall ever seeing a monroe on a guy, in person. It may suit you though, who knows. I will check later tonight.

But I'd go for a labret. Anyone else got ideas?

+1 (even for the blocked in work part!!)

I've seen a monroe on fella's before, didn't like it all to well though. I vote labret or medusa even.

Star Lord

Labret ftw... little spiked labrets are always good

Fantasy_Suicide

Haha, ya big emo! Lawl! Eh neither would suit ya, tbh. I have a friedn who I am convinced IS you, but you have bigger lips, and his labrets just look plain stupid on him. But it's your choice.

!!!

I think a monroe would look really cool on you, then again I'm a massive fan of upper lip piercings, heh. doooo eeeeet.

suzaane

neither :}

Will

ok home now.
Personally I think a centred labret would suit ya, but I prefer them so I'm a wee bit biased. An off-centre labret with a ring would also be pretty cool if ya want the "emo" look

Shelli

Off center lip ring FTW!!

Oh and a nose ring would look really nice too IMO.

truthinwords

If your only gonna get one I'd say the Monroe but otherwise get snakebites I think they look a lot better then a single lip piercing or you could take my approach and get madonna, monroe and snakebites. Get the monroe quite low to the lip it looks a bit girly if it's too high up imo.

CianRyan

Wow! wasnt expecting that many people to reply! haha
class like!

thanks for all the input, give me a bit to think about untill saturday, hopefully i'll of made up my mind by then! haha

right now im thinking the monroe, and i will be getting the madona and snake bites after that aswell! i just wanted something nice to have first, cause it;ll be on its own for a good while like!

And the by the ways........
I hate being called emo... dont listen to the stuff, nore am i depressed! hahaha
Shelli, imma be getting my nose done too, small ring in both sides!

CianRyan

And thanks by the way!
really appretiate it! =]

Will

wasnt trying to imply you were emo

also take everything here with a pinch of salt, its your body at the end of the day.

CianRyan

Oh no man, on get me wrong, i know what you mean, i ment it as sort of a joke like! haha

and yeah, i just like to get other peoples oppions, and i trust people here to be honest as well as, know what they're talking about! =]

Cherryvega

Vertical labrets look great, not many people have them either

I was planning on vertical snakebites, but i got 4 in my lip already

Crumble Froo

hey cian, only just saw this thread now (12hr time dif and all..), but i reckon a close-to-the-lip monroe would quite suit you actually... you have quite full lower lips,a nd im not sure the labret would look all that great on them. but i can quite picture the monroe on you actually.

whats a labret,sounds like french food to me (stupid me):rolleyes:

Crumble Froo

it's not actually a french word, you pronounce the 't'...

basically, it's a lip piercing.

Lawl, I ment it!! Haha, jk!! Ya just look exactly like my mate. I personally am jealous of you peeps who can get facial piercings. But, in my HONEST opinion neither would suit ya, and I reckon would only enhance your stereotype image? Why not try somethin different. I think it's your hair that gives you that stereotype. I dunno.... I'd maybe think of some ear work. But if you HAVE to have something on the lip, I would go with the monroe, middle upper lip. That is quite different. Especially on guys.

Fantasy_Suicide

Gauge

CianRyan, I reckon a medusa would look cute on you.

Point I'm making is that it's pronounced "La-bret" as opposed to the way a lot of people pronounce it: "La-bray", as if it was a French word.

haha well iv cut my hair and its alot shorter now.
Iv got plugs so my ears are going grand like.

what i want to do is like, snake bites + monroe and modona
and if it doesnt suit me, i can always take them out like, it will be a bit of money down the drain, but at least i can say iv had them at some stage, and it'll be an experience if nothing else.

jenizzle

just had a look, and I dunnae think you should get a monroe/madonna piercing. IMO, its such a feminine piercing (that many a scanger has ruined) and I don't think it would suit ye. If thats what yer goin for, then fire ahead i vote vertical labret or medusa (again!)

CianRyan

Some one throw us a pic of a vartical labret?
id look my self, but ya know... im lazy!

Will

that is amazingly lazy, so lazy im not even gonna put one up

CianRyan

aww... alright i'll look now! haha

Star Lord

Good lad

1. Google "BME vertical labret"
2. Go to the BME site for the best explanation.
3. ?
4. Profit!

CianRyan

http://tattoo.about.com/library/graphics/renlabret1.jpg

it looks pretty nice, but iv never really been a fan of centered labret piercings!

how straight are that guys teeth?

Will

think you stumbled upon the reverse vertical labret.
thats the standard one below, with extra length on the bar to compensate for swelling

Star Lord

I'd be of the opposite inclination, I think that a centred labret spike looks best on a guy.

CianRyan

I like that you can see the top ball aswell, a lot tbh! Can you get them off center?

Will

yup, depending on your anatomy though. good piercer should be able to tell ya no probs

check bmezine.com ya lazy git

Star Lord

Vertical labret for me would mean eating with chopsticks for the rest of my life, cuz nothing would be surer than I'd catch it in a fork... :eek:

Will

I once chop sticked my nipple, hilarious story

CianRyan

ahh now i like my forks! >.<

And i saved that site to favourites! XD

Will

you never knew about bmezine.com? if you like that check out modblog.bmezine.com ... at your own risk, a lot of it is NSFW!

CianRyan
