Are you offended by facial piercings?

[finn's mom]

I think the right piercings on the right person are beautiful! I've had several boy and girl friends get nose piercings or librets and they add to the attractiveness of the face. It's like makeup, in my opinion. There are a lot of people who wear makeup and shouldn't and a lot of people who don't, but, would benefit from a little. It's no different to me, except it's metal, and, not powder or whatever. But, it's adorning the face for unnecessary reasons, no matter what your opinion on either decoration. It's all for aesthetic reasons, and, no matter what you do to or on your own face, someone out there isn't going to like it (or take it so personally or care so much as to actually be offended by it). I say go with your own preference, because if it's not your facial piercing, it'll be the clothes you wear, or the makeup you choose, or your hairstyle or whatever. You know what I mean? You can't please everyone! Post pictures if you do get something done, though, ok? And, personally I would get a facial piercing before I'd start wearing makeup every day, just because it's less time consuming.

**And, I just read some of the posts above mine, and, I agree about the tongue piercings. When people play constantly with them, it gets really old. I have to say, though, I've realized that not everyone does that, thank goodness. The guy I've been seeing for a few months has one, and, I honestly forget he has it at all! Even if we're kissing, he has to really go crazy for me to even feel it! It takes me by surprise, because unless he shows it, you'd never know it was there!**
