    If you want a piercing, get a tongue one that your bf/gf can enjoy.

    They suit some faces. It's up to yourself though OP, it's your body! If you think you can pull it off then go for it. You can always take it out.

    That's what I did, I had a small ring (looked like a sleeper) in my eyebrow when I was younger, took it out after three months. No scar.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Mollusc


    So all of you who have had one of these have now taken them out, (besides 1 - labaret).


    Is it the age thing, or that I'm a guy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,745 ✭✭✭✭kylith


    1) You're not 17
    2) It's not 1996
    3) Is 27 not a bit young for a mid-life crisis?
    4) Don't get an eyebrow ring, just accept that you're now too old to do all that stupid stuff, and you should have done it when you were 17.

    I'd imagine it's a personal choice thing.

    Get one of those things.

    Got it done twice about 15 years ago. Looked good, except that my body rejected it. That is, the amount of skin between the two holes got progressively smaller until it just popped off and left a little rut in my eyebrow when the two holes joined up. That healed up, and unperturbed I did it again. And the same thing happened again within six months. So I gave up. The legacy is now a 3mm gap in my left eyebrow. Which you wouldn't even notice. Plus I can do a comb-over.

    I think they're not just a little out of fashion at this stage, I think they're well out. Don't see anyone with them now unless they have a few other facial piercings.

    Stupid,

    If you ever get tired of it and want it removed, you are left with a visible scar for life.
    No it doesn't unless you are stupid enough to get it done with a piercing gun.

    If you are getting it done go to a tatto place that uses the neddles. They can put the ring straight in and it won't grow out if is put in correctly in this manner.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,184 ✭✭✭3ndahalfof6


    If your able to shiite out of it once it is done then I would go for it, it would put a new spin on, ffs he is just bullshiiting now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,020 ✭✭✭BlaasForRafa


    Most people who wear them are nobs so if you want to look like a nob then go right ahead.

    You do know they (humans) get it pierced tooooooooooooooooooo.

    no, they went out with the 90's


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,635 ✭✭✭Pumpkinseeds


    No, I'm female and I had 1 in the 90's. I got bored with it very quickly. They hurt, they need cleaning and they can break the skin leaving a scar. I ended up taking mine out after 6 weeks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭MickFleetwood


    Don't listen to anybody on here. **** it. If you want that ring, get that ring.

    Us mortals can't speak for you.

    And now the cost of makeup to fix it, we are perfect in appearance, no need to up it, but then we were young once, to tell me no is to tell me yes.

    Had it done about 10 years ago, the skin between the two holes shrunk and eventually fell off! Have a lovely scar on my left eyebrow as a reminder now.

    Don't do it op!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Meangadh


    A friend of mine had one a few years ago, I totally forgot that he did till there was an old photo on facebook recently of him- he definitely looks better without it. Wouldn't bother OP.

    Connect it all! :)

    Have the eyebrow ring connected to the nose ring connected to the lip ring connected to the ear ring connected to the boob ring connected to the belly ring connected to the wee wee ring connected to the testes ring connected to the toe ring!

    Ring Puzzle Man! We can toss pebbles at you trying to see what ring we can get them through! Oh the joy........

    ;)

    Sup Dude?

    Personally I think you should go for it.

    Now im not one of them psycic dudes but you sound like a neat guy and I think it would compliment what is undeniably likely to be awesome hair.

    Id imagine u drive an awesome car aswell.

    Go for it dude...

    Ditto! Exact same thing happened to mine, got it done when I was 18 and the skin kind of died, tried again, same thing. I use eyebrow pencil in the gap :) scar just looks like a chicken pox scar.

    Agree that they're a bit dated - I'd go for a subtle ear lobe disc or maybe piercing under the lip if I were OP.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Mollusc


    Thanks for all the feedback. I don't want to pierce anything more on my face. I just think the eyebrow ring/bar with my bleached spikey hair will look good (I'm a natural ginger... :( )

    I think some of the positive responses has helped me make my mind up. I'm gonna GO FOR IT!


    Oh, btw, I drive an 09 Opel Insignia. It's a real pimpmobile.

    eyebrow piercing = its either 1999
    or your a bogger scumbag


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18 Mollusc

    If you hide your ginger hair, why would you get something which attracts attention to your ginger eyebrows?
