Who told you it was played out?!?! Girl, comer here to NY and you'll see it all over the place

Girl, a couple of my friends and a few co-workers told me that. I was like dang, for real? I always wanted a piercing in my nose, but back then was afraid to when they first came out. Now that I have the courage, they told me they were played. I think my husband would kill me if I came home with another piercing.
My piercings aren't gonna be over the top


[color=#000099]   Cool! You sound like you have good taste and I'm sure they will be done right.

By the way, I have a friend who's grandmother has her whole face pierced and tattooed. Her ears are pierced, her tongue is pierced, her arms, neck, and face is tattooed, her nose is pierced. When I first saw her, this was my reactions >>>

Mind you, this woman is like mid to late 60's. I thought it was interesting to see someone like her. And she's getting more piercings and tattoos.

Cool, what kind?

Yes and no.

Technically speaking, you can have them removed by razors but realistically, they will always be on you because if you were to peel away the first layer of skin you can still see the ink on your body but on the surface it will be gone. Your ability to see and depends on the type of ink you use and the method which the tattoo was applied.

Well I'll recommend one based on where and how you live. Do you live in Naija or elsewhere? Are you open to the idea of possibly sticking out like a sore thumb if piercings are not commonly accepted in the place where you reside?

My area/country, does not affect me, but i don't want anything major something dat will complement me well. . .wat of dat lip 1 kandi had?

Sure, that's not a bad idea or you can experiment with different types of ear piercings for starters.

Hmm i no want over pierce sha

I use to say like a few years back, dat i wanted the one under the nose u know dat1?ontop of the lip area, reason being i always wished i had a beauty spot in dat area. . .lol but there were a lot of stereotypes about it & the girls that had it done around me kind of put me off it

As 4 ear piercings, i always like the idea of 3, i like the the look of those silver little hoops u know dem?& little studds well dunno tho. . .cause i can't pierce all both ears twice the same time & also, a bit worrysome cause i know they could heal really slow & bad. . .

I've heard of fade creams out on the market that helps to lighten the tattoo alot. And some people like to try and change the tattoo into something else. If you are planning to get a lip piercing (above or below). I would advise having someone reputable to do it. Plus you have to be aware that when you do get a lip piercing, depending where it is, that it moves when you talk or eat. Like I had one under my bottom lip, and it took a while getting use to. Gotta make sure to keep it clean and gurgle listerine and keep it with you all day. Be careful biting into an apple or a sandwich. The base part that's in your mouth can pull in the earring. Not a pleasant feeling.

Hmmm, I think I know what your talking about but I think you need to be more descriptive. As for the stereotypes, it totally up to you if you wanna pay attention to what other people think about it [not trying to insult you ]. I'll support your decision as long as your happy and comfortable with it. There are ways to speed up the healing process by the way

Oh rite cause i don't know much perhaps a pic will do

yea i know rite, but it's society's fault
