personally, i have never had my eyebrow pierced, it just wasn't "my thing." several of my friends have had theirs pierced and the pain seems to run the gamut from a sharp intake of air and a grimace to lip biting and tears. basically, its all dependant on your paint threshold. also, i have had one friend who's body rejected the piercing and basically, pushed it out (one of the dangers of a basic "skin" piercing). i would definately advise that if you get it done prior to job hunting, get it well in advanced so that it has enough time to heal. also remember that healing times differ by person. i heal quickly, so when i got my tongue pierced eons ago, it took all of a week and half before it was done healing. as for noses, those are fun. i had my septum and nostril pierced. in a word i can describe the pain level: OUCH! a tear managed to escape my eye when i got my septum done. my piercer said that it was a tear of joy. and explain to your son that you are reliving your expressive days, that yours just came a little later than most people.

Hi Michelle.... I just had my surgery on 12/13. I just got my nips pierced Sept. 1, so I was really nervous. I have a hard time even changing the barbells in them. But, my surgeon let my use the acryllic retainers & I had no probs at all. If he hadn't let me do that they would have definately closed up. Good luck with your surgery!!

I guess you could say it's a small price to pay but I paid so much for my piercings, my tongue cost me 85euros which is like 90 something american dollars and my nose cost me 45 euros which is 50 something. It is worth it though.

Most doctors will not allow you to wear retainers - especially in your tongue because it could cause a problem with the ventilator that helps you breathe during surgery. Also, because of the electricity that is near and on your body during surgery, no metal can be on your body at all - no earrings, necklaces, etc. I had my ears, nose, tongue and monroe for YEARS before surgery. I was in the hospital for 4 weeks post surgery (1 week in a coma due to complications) and I only had to re-pierce my tongue and monroe. Even if you have to get them done again, that's a small price to pay.
