Face Piercings

The main rule is to not go hog wild; don't crowd your face with metal. A good face is a good face. In moderation, piercings can be really hot, but use some tact. Earrings are good, but easy on the gauges/plugs- if you can fit an index finger through your ear lobe, you've gone too far. Monroe piercings can be glamorous, but be tasteful. Monroe was not a skank or a goth. Eyebrow piercings tend to look too much like an injury, and they draw attention away from the eyes, so avoid them altogether. As far as noses go, studs are always cute. Septum piercings and nose rings are more masculine and should be left to the guys, but if you must, don't get something metal. Lip rings are sexy when at the edge of the mouth; right smack in the middle just gets in the way. Snakebites can look cool, but they're not as common and could be off-putting. Finally, tongue piercings are undeniably suggestive, so if you have one you better be kinky enough to back it up.
