I'll try to keep it short! I used to have my eyebrow pierced. It migrated, I had to take it out and let it heal. I always meant to get it redone, and now I'm thinking of finally doing it (it's been 2 years since I took it out).

The thing is, my current BF (been dating for almost 2 years) isn't a fan of facial piercings. I talked to him about it and asked out of courtesy if he was okay with me getting my eyebrow re-pierced, and he said he didn't have an opinion and that it's my body and I can do what I want.

Even though I know this is true, I know that even though he's my boyfriend he can't control what piercings I get, I can't help but feel guilty for some reason. Is this justified to feel that way? I'm afraid of him finding me less attractive, even though I personally LOVED my eyebrow ring and will love this one, and even though he insists he won't be less attracted to me.


Any thoughts or opinions? Has anyone dealt with this before?

pierce your nipples for hell of it. Hed be even MADDER!!!!!!

[choot]

my exboyfriend was like that too. He's saying that because thats what boyfriends SHOULD say.
now, my new bf opens his mouth to everything. LOL. he doesnt like facial piercing either. i guess its because he doesnt want to be staring at the piercing everytime he sees my face. Plus his family thinks piercings are for bad girls -_____- .
I was going to pierce a part of my bottom lips. i think its so sexy. lol. He strictly said "no why would you pierce any part of that face? im marrying it soon arent I?!?" hahaha.

for me, i didnt pierce it afterall because i dont want him to feel uncomfortable even though he says "I LOVE YOU REGARDLESS OF WHAT YOU DO" -_______- lol

I haven't encountered it, but if I was in that situation I would probably ask my boyfriend and take his opinion into account, but ultimately do what makes me happy.

Since you KNOW that you'll LOVE it then I think you should go for it. If he really really doesn't like it then you could always take it out and let it heal I guess.

You'll feel better after you get, he sees you and doesn't dump you.

Hmmm, I believe it's entirely a question you should only answer for yourself. Would you have gotten it pierced (I think the answer would have been yes) had it not been for a boyfriend? Aesthetic purpose aside, would you want to risk the infection again though? Perhaps you could compromise. Give in to what he's been wating to do of which you didn't approve before. Give n' take to keep things smooth.

Thank you for your input. ^^;;; I told my boyfriend "PLEASE just tell me if you don't want me to get it" but he kept insisting it was okay. It's just a matter of whether or not a believe him now <<

That's true. Thank you!! That makes me feel better.

I like the way you think, ha ha. XD yeah, I think I definitely would get it without hesitation if not for my BF. In the end it'll make me happy, and hopefully he'll be happy that I'm happy. I think he will be. And to the bolded, that is such a good idea. XD
As for infection, it got infected and migrated because I was stupid about it and changed the ring too often and it just got irritated and went down hill from there haha. So that's not really an issue for me, this time I will be smarter about it.

I think something like body mutilation is something that ONLY YOU should have an opinion on. Think about it, you're causing harm and pain to your body, it better be for something that you want. I've had tons and tons of piercings in my life, and the least favorable one seems to be septum, but I don't care. I've dated plenty of guys who hated it, but I like it, and my opinion is the one that matters. I would never shove or not shove metal through my skin for a boy.
Hell, piercings especially, since they're temporary.

If you really want it that bad then do it...but then again, what if you meet his parents, and you have an eyebrow pierce, it's going to be hard for them to not to think bad of you...just my opinion.

I've already met his parents.

I've been wanting a nose piercing for the longest time. I asked my bf if I should and he said "NO" flat out.

It's really up to you, if you want it.

[bonjour tristesse.]

He's your boyfriend. If he really wanted to be with you, he won't leave you for such a petty excuse. If you want to, go ahead no one's stopping you. He'd probably be mad but he'd eventually get over it.

[eebaboya]

it's your decision since it's your body afterall. it's just a piercing anyway, if he really detest it, you can always take it off.
