*clears throat*
Having dated women with a variety of piercings, indeed, even one with over a dozen, I feel qualified to rant about pierced women and tell them what to do. Bite me.
Unobtrusive piercings are fine in <i>any</i> situation.
However, others can be unattractive/get in the way.
Belly button piercings are fine. No real risks involved, no real chance of it getting torn off, looks okay and doesn't get in the way of anything.
Labret piercings also fall in the same category as bellybuttons. However, if you get a spike, kindly warn your boyfriend to watch where he kisses, because getting poked in the eye with a pointy metal thing isn't much fun.
Ear piercings…well, if you're into biting sessions, don't wear them to bed if they're -rings-.
Lip rings - sort of like labret piercings, but rings which encircle the lower lip - are a combination of ear and labret in terms of convenience. Biting is right out, and they DO get in the way of effective making out. Mind, they do however look good as fuck.
Septum piercings are ugly as fuck. Period.
Nostrils can look good, it depends on your nose type, the ring type, and the shape of your head.
Eyebrows are fine, but be careful with them, cause having one torn off doesn't look like much fun. Also: they seem to be prone to infection.
Cheek/"madonna" piercings are also ugly as fuck.
Nipple piercings - meh. Unless you have a sensitivity problem, they don't seem worth it. Especially since they catch on clothing a lot.
Tongue rings are inconvenient, however, tongue studs? YES. YES. YES. All women should have a tongue stud or barbell. In fact, I think I'll be getting one myself, because it's only fair. 'Nuff said. However, getting one means no alcohol, dairy products, or oral sex for a full month. If you think you can hack it, go for it.
I won't get into genital piercings, as they are both unattractive and generally useless.
This has been a public service announcement.
EDIT: Post # 777! NUMBER OF THE MOOSE.

and I got mine done 3 times... �all in the same place, cause I was in the army when I got it done so I got caught and told to take it out twice, all done in my friend's barrics room with a IV needle (note he is a professional piercer) �no infections and have had it pierced for like 5 years now.
Just a note on other stuff: �eyebrows are niether cute or fun, I had one, didn't like it, took it out.
can't vouch for the nipple cause I've never had it done, but I've seen it done, and is very painful no matter who you are. �
had some really nice ear piercings too, none of that streached crap, but barbels going this way and that, took em all out and they closed up though, and now I miss em.

Kitty has no piercings or tattoos at all.
In fact, kitty does not smoke/sniff/drink anything. Or wear lots of makeup. Well except for that purple lipstick called "Haiku" sometimes...only when nobody I know will be around...
Seriously, why do I play this game? I do not fit in.
I'm like a closet cyberpunk. Gee.
True story: Lucien and Desolate and Kaial's players all looked and then drove right past me at a meatspace stoplight when I was obviously waiting for them, just cause they didn't think it was me.
That hurt :(

So, like, beyond the fact that the female torso tossed up there was 'nice' I'm not a fan of excessive pericage. In fact, I really don't think to much of any pericing. I will certainly never get any. Tats on the other hand, can be a good or bad. My sister has one, as does my girlfriend. Both designed and drew the tats they got themselves, so they are quite lovely, and quite personal. Plus, they both got them in nice locations. I really don't like seeing women or men with tattoos all over the place and things like 'I EAT BABIES' on the forehead. I find it unattractive on most people.
Same for lots of metal shoved into your body. Meh.
As to tounge studs, if you can't do a good job with your tounge, and need a 'barbell' to help, that's kinda sad…typical lazy effort is to just get augmentation rather than improve technique. As they say, practice makes perfect!
Anyhow, back to the poll, I found the four in bellyhole a bit excessive. It is overstating things. The pattern was okay, but a bit over the top for my tastes. Simple is better.
Yar.
