LIP PIERCING?
I have a couple questions about getting my lip pierced:
I've done my research and it takes 6-8 weeks to heal so ill be fine for the regular season to atleast take it out for games or put in a clear plastic holder. However, im in a winter league but its pretty relaxed so do u think i could get away putting a bandade or some tape over it? Does anyone have one, had any probelms/ infections?

I hate them too. But if they want one, let em' get one. I think you could get away with that, I'd be really cautious though. Than again I've never gotten one.

Yeah...for guys...ears is enough...and even then i take mine out when on job interviews...
For chicks...ears and belly button /me drools...anything more and no thanks (well...maybe tongue)... I reiterate...stay out of the face...no one likes a fish hook...think about it...

^^ to Xeclipse-- thanks for a useless response! Fisrt off im not emo, not that its a bad thing some of the emotional music is pretty good, i just happen to think its a cool piercing. Second im 16 and i have a job, im a waiter at a growing(franchising) cafe, where on a slow night i make over 10 bucks an hour including tips and after taxes and a a good night i can walk away with 70 bucks in tips alone for 6 hours work! so lets try and stick to the questions at hand please!

I've seen some refs let players get away with a bandaid over it, but tape (I think) would be too conspicuous. As for a retainer (the clear plastic holder you're referring to), you might not be able to put one in until the full healing. The 6-8 weeks you're referring to is called the initial healing, in which you can change to smaller or different jewelry with the help of your piercer. I don't know about being able to change to retainers at that point, though, because well, I don't need retainers for my piercings.
Honestly, I would wait until the season ends to get your piercing (assuming you haven't already gotten it) and let it heal fully, so that for games you can just take it out and not have to worry about tape or bandaids. Truth be told, with bandaids, piercings (which are really nothing more than an open wound) and sweat, you're begging for infection.

Who really cares if people have peircings. I think peircings are tight and have both my ears pierced and considered getting my brow pierced for a long time. If everyone thought like that...we would all be the same. Its the people who get peircings and tattoos that make people different. Its called self expression. and im not emo at all...i wear abercrombie so its not like im so hippie freak telling you this. My suggestion to chslax. If you want one..get it. If you ask around alot of people will say "Ewwww" and alot of people will say "Hell yeah". Dont worry about what everyone else thinks and just do it man.

Im not gonna argue that you not have peircings in might have helped you...but how do you know 5..or 15 minutes into the interview those guys just said something the employer did not want to hear? Do you know 100 percent that they were not hired specifically because of the fact that they had earings in? Doubtful. It is becoming alot more professionally accepted nowadays then you think. My dad works for a very large business in which he deals with professional business like clients everyday. Considering i am his son and i have 2 peircings...and my brother who has a large "USMC" tattoo on his arm, he tells us he deals with clients and co-workers everyday who have earring and tattoos.

I never pierced anything, but I saw firsthand how awful my older brother looked with his eyebrow pierced. It looked even more ridiculous with a band-aid over it when he was at work (as a banker). Personally, I love tattoos, and I will get more when I am in Taiwan--but I keep them in places that are easy to conceal.
Unfortunately, people are VERY judgemental. Any visible tattoos or piercings (outside from the ear; for a female)--and you are giving yourself little-to-no chance of getting a professional position. Some people say adulthood is the time to "sell out". I'm not sure if its about "selling out", but there aqre not many things that are more important than your career (when you are an adult); so it's quite worthwhile to bite the bullet, and be able to present yourself as professionally as possible.

As for being presentable... similar to what RYU said earlier in the thread, it really depends on your profession. But you can use this as a rule of thumb: The more creative your profession, the more creative you may look. Hairdressers, artists, graphic designers - it's like a requirement to have ink and bolts. But accountants, lawyers, doctors, or anything that requires use of a three-piece suit? Nothing visible on the street or in the office. So I'm a bit curious what is required of a journalist... it's somewhere between the two worlds, and I'm not sure if there's room for my monroe piercing (which I will get as soon as the season ends) in it. Oh well, I can take it out if need be.

I can understand piercing to some extent but some of it is pretty gross. When I see girls with those weird piercings, as a guy I am really turned off. But if you like it, go for it.

Accidently pierced my foot once by stepping on a nail. That ended up badly though. I don't recommend it.

Wearing facial jewellery to work is one thing. Wearing it to an interview is another.............Why the hell would you intentionally give an interviewer any extra reason to prejudiciously disqualify you?? Especially when it's something you can easily control! Now, I wouldn't disqualify you for wearing facial jewellery, I don't personally care. The reason I'd disqualify you is because leaving your facebolts in for an interview tells me that a) You don't really care whether you get the job or not, or b) you didn't really think things through carefully when preparing for a challenge such as a job interview.

I agree its stupid to keep the things in when you go to an interview. I was just suggesting its arrogant to assume the reason none of them got the job was because they had to peircings. I mean think about this. 50 years ago how accepted was it for men to have any peircings. Hell even women peircings werent as accepted. Today almost every woman and probably a decent amount of men have peircings. By the time most of the people on this board have kids, and they hit the work place, i can almost gaurantee peircings will be considered the norm, and have no effect on any interviews or workplace alike.

I know a guy w/ one, he drinks all his stuff with the side of his mouth, away from where the piercing is. That's gotta be annoying to do.

i think bridge of your nose is weird.
If i ran a buisness and you walked in one day, i would fire you on the spot. Its unprofessional, and i dont want you handling professional clients. Plus, tounge and lip piercing makes you sound like you have marbes in your mouth, and i hate that clicking sound.

thats different, if he is coming to me, then he needs my buisness, i dont need his. if im going to a client to get buisness, then i need to put my best foot forward, and i need to have someone who looks presentable.
