For years now I have wanted a piercing. I don't know why. I came close to doing it about a year back with my cousin. My cousin would get her ears pierced if I got mine done. I was game. My parents might have thrown a fit, but I didn't care. I still don't.
So I'm thinking about what to do and not. First- no stretching anything. That's not my thing. Nothing crazy like your monroe or nose. No tongue piercing because I've had enough mouth problems/parents have invested good money in my teeth.
Under wraps would probably be best considering the type of work I'm going into.
No tattoo. I change my mind too often. And people get old and stuff sags.
Things I have thought about:
Ears- sure... I'd do it if someone went with me and the holes aren't that noticeable when you take them out, so that could be ok
Eyebrow- few say I could pull it off
Lip- more say I could pull that off.
Nipples- very tempted, as you read in my last post I think those piercings are hot, especially on the right guy. I'm not sure I'm the right guy. I've been told NO by The Guy and Carl (piercings came up in a convo about his piercings and so I showed my chest). Best friend in Mississippi thinks it is hot, wants it done, and said if I did it, he would too. I've heard this is painful too and takes a while to heal. I've also heard of lots of sensitivity there afterward. I imagine it'd hurt at first like when your nipples have been rubbing up against a shirt or something and are really hard.
Belly button- on some guys it looks hot- take for example porn star Sky Thompson, but it would hurt like hell I think - if it wouldn't I'd consider, but that is a sensitive area. And how many guys have this done?
PA- Out of the question. Sorry.
Anyone have any experiences they care to share? I've read lots on www.bmezine.com, which is the authority it seems when it comes to piercings and body modification, but would love to hear.
Chest shot... any thoughts? Could I pull off the nipple? Just a simple bar there. What about belly button?
For those who have seen a pic of my face, what do you think?
Part of the reason I want to do it is I don't think anyone would expect me to have something and that would be part of the thrill.

Hmm, I think you could "pull off" eyebrow or nipple. But I veto lip and belly button. :P
I would avoid the lip for the same reasons you don't want the tongue piercing.
As for the rest, I'm anti piercing in general. Personally I don't find them attractive and never understood why anyone would want to deal with the pain or possibility of infection.
I'm only into ear piercing on a guy. As long as it's the normal silver or gold ring type and not the girly flowery types that's popular among guys nowadays.
Followed the link for James at Just Me.
Basically I agree with borg_queen.
I find eyebrow, tongue and lip piercings grotesque. I don't understand why anybody would want to deface perfectly good nipples like yours with a piercing, but they are not as bad as the ones in your face.
Personally I would think eyebrow would be the best. However, one does have to consider your line of work. It might not go over so well as something obvious.
So, that leaves us the covert options. Personally I think a pierced nipple is gross. I don't know why, but that's my opinion.
That whittles it down to the belly button. I think a belly button gem stud is cute cute. And on you, would look more than fine. :) So that's my two cents.
Whatever you do, keep it clean!
Hmm...navel piercing (my expertise) hurt during the piercing process, which is very quick, and stung for a bit afterward (hour or two). You'll have to soak the pierced area with a sea salt solution a few minutes a day for several weeks. Also, avoid pools/hot tubs/baths for about 6-8 weeks (showers fine). Do not change your piercing jewelery for about 1-2 months (or more) after having the piercing so that the area has time to heal. Also, it can take a year or longer before the piercing heals sufficiently for you to remove your jewelery for extended periods of time. Otherwise, with your physique, I say go for the navel (cute).
As for nipple, just beware the possibility of perpetual THO. It hurts about as much as any other piercing. I was never fond of mine, so I kept the navel piercing (3 years now). Nipple piercings can take awhile to heal (though I have been told the tongue piercing takes the longest to heal b/c of the tissue type).
For what it's worth, the pain is easily exaggerated in stories -- if you can handle a needle for a vaccination, you can handle a piercing needle.
I love nipples. So I vote Nipple if you must do it.
Not face or lip, screw that.
I think we should help you decide about the PA.
Can we have pix to aide us in the decision?
