Eyebrow Ring - Yay or Nay

    Hi everyone.

    I'm debating about getting an eyebrow ring/bar. I know they are a bit out of fashion at the moment, but I think they still look cool enough.

    I work in an office environment, and I know that it won't be a problem there.

    I'm a 27 year old male, am I too old to have one of these now?

    Could you please provide some honest advise as I have received mixed feedback from people who I have asked (my gf, my mum, my workmates).

    Thanks.

    Should I get an eyebrow ring/bar? 19 votes

    Yes, go for it

    Don't get one if you look like a scumbag.

    Do whatever you want.

    I imagine some people might find you hard to take seriously, but if you don't mind that or think you can convince them otherwise, then reach for that rainbow.

    Did you really just set up an account to ask people if you should get an eyebrow piercing


    :pac::pac::pac::pac::pac:

    anyways.. don't. Not a good look imo.

    They look ridiculous! At a push they look cool when the owner has other facial piercings.

    I used to have a lot of piercings, some "interesting" ones, but I have always thought eyebrow piercings were hideous.

    If yer gonna do it, you might as well bleach your hair as well.

    If you want one, then go get one. Simple.

    Absolutely not ;)

    they're fine, they can look great so go for it. to hell with the nay-sayers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Mollusc


    Wow, some quick responses.
    I do like the 'surfy' look, and have my hair bleached already.

    I wouldn't consider other piercings on my face though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Stupid,

    If you ever get tired of it and want it removed, you are left with a visible scar for life.

    Please don't . if you missed out on getting one in the early 90's so be it but just forget about it now....

    Sounds like a look from back in the early 90's

    i don't mind piercings.i had plenty of them years ago.but i never liked the brow ring.i think they are lovely looking on women but they make fellas look a bit rough.but hey do what you like


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,880 ✭✭✭ArtyM


    Get one of those nose studs OP - the ones that the wearer thinks are cool but everyone else actually thinks looks like a pimple.
    Definitely get one of those.

    haha, half way there so.

    Just to make this decision easier, I added a poll, could you please vote in that.

    At the moment it's not looking favourable... :(

    When I was a teenager I was considering getting a lip ring. I went to some shop like Claire's Accessories and bought a fake one. I put that on at home and thought to myself "wow, that looks truly awful and ridiculous, what was I thinking?".

    Give that a go, if you still like the idea of it, then go for it. People will think what they think (although you should probably pay attention to what your girlfriend says). You can take it out later if it's not working for you.

    If you don't know if you want one

    You don't want one

    Had it done in my early college years

    Pain in the hole. Can't play sports, hurts, always getting a wallop and you need a bar for a few months before you can contemplate a ring.

    Also, scar gets fairly ugly after a few years.

    Avoid.

    It's the standard opt out option on boards.

    They were way cool in the early noughies, coincidentally when I had one.

    Now however, in this day and age, they are the facial distinction of a idiot man.

    If you really wanted it, you probably wouldn't be looking for online approval for it.

    I don't think they look good on anyone, but if you do want it then just do it. I hope you're not left with a scar if you change your mind.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,056 ✭✭✭tan11ie


    Nay

    The OP's probably pretending to never have heard of it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Mollusc


    I haven't heard of it.

    If I knew, I would have put the option there.

    This is giving me a visual of the 'general publics' reaction, so it's giving me something to think about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭Kylo Ren


    Yay or nay?

    More like gay!

    heh...
