r/piercing FAQ

The Rules:

Content

If it has to do with piercings, you can post it. Pictures of your piercings, questions about piercings, news articles about piercings -- go for it! You may not post the following:

• Anything advocating or instructing at-home piercings. This is incredibly dangerous, for a number of reasons.

• Anything to do with how to get pierced underage/without parental consent, or hiding a piercing from your parents/teacher/siblings.

Be Nice

We do not tolerate insults or body-shaming here. An outwardly cruel or insulting comment to another user, whether it’s in the midst of an argument or an off-handed comment about body hair, will result in a ban without warning.

To be clear, comments on a user's personal appearance for purposes of recommending an aesthetically pleasing piercing are fine -- for instance, "I think a septum piercing would be less than flattering on your face; maybe play up your lips/eyes/whatever instead?" is fine, but "Damn girl, your nose is all kinds of fucked up, don't draw attention to that," is not. We're not saying you have to be all kittens and rainbows and afraid to disagree with people, but we are saying you have to be constructive with your criticisms.
