De-piercing?

[judecorp]

I'm thinking about taking out my facial piercings (vertical labret, tongue, eyebrow). I have had them for a really long time. Really long. I've had my tongue pierced for over 12 years now. I've had an eyebrow ring on and off for 10 years. I got the labret in 2002. Long time. Long time.

Thoughts?

Oooooooooo.

Will you still be there on Sunday? We have plans on Saturday.

If it's because you think you're getting too old for them, then bullcrap to that.

If you're just bored with them, go for it.

I tend to forget I even have my facial piercings most times. But when I do notice them, I always go through bouts of debate on their removal.

While I think they look really great on you, if you're not sure about them anymore, take them out. Leave 'em out for a bit and see if you miss them. Everyone closes up at a different pace, but you'd have a bit of time to look and decide. My tongue stayed open for two years after I pulled it out. Heh. And keep in mind that it's always easy to get them re-pierced if you decide you miss them too much.

But in the meantime, grabby hands from the little one won't have shiny metal bits to grab onto.

I haven't even been able to wear necklaces and earrings since Ben loves them so much, so I know I would have removed facial piercings if I had any. Just seems easier and more practical.

Taking out my nose and septum piercings were the right move for me, but when I see pictures of me with them in, I get pangs of loss ...

and then I think: pffffft it's just a piece of metal. Do what you wanna, you can always repierce.
