Question for the masses - Surface Piercings?

Okay, dunno if this is where I'm supposed to post a question like this, but I needed some opinions from lots of different people. Are cleavage bars/sternum bars attractive? You can look at 'em at http://www.bmezine.com/pierce/11-surface/spbody001.html. They're the ones (obviously.. judging by the name) that are between the breasts/on the chest.

So, for everyone. Are they attractive?

And if not, what's not attractive about it?

I don't see how stabbing pieces of metal into your skin is attractive.  It's disgusting to me, and it's a complete turn off.  Why can't you just be happy with what you come with?  No need to put bullet holes through your skin just because you think its cool.  :x
 
No. I don't find THOSE kind of piercings attractive. Imo, the only area that people (specifically girls) should pierce is the ears, the nose, the tongue, the eyebrow and lip. Nothing else. Anything else would look strange.
 
Yeah, it's a strange place to get a piercing. People can pierce just about anything nowadays. But, when people limit where it's acceptable for a piercing, there are ways around that 'rule'. I can show you pictures of people who have surface bars through their lips. Is that acceptable? Probably not, because it's not as normal as a regular ring. But it's still through the lip. So, where is the line drawn? A few years ago, I would've said the same thing as you; that piercings in places other than ears, nose, tongue, etc. were just weird and shouldn't be done. But, I saw the cleavage bar and my view changed completely, because I think it's a very attractive piercing. Anything else probably looks strange because it's not something you see. It's becoming more common to see lips or eyebrows pierced, but how often do you see someone with their arm pierced, or their cheek, the webbing on their hand? You don't. I've only seen one person in real life with a cleavage bar.

Anyways, I just want people's opinions on piercings in general, I guess. I maybe should have put that as the topic instead of just surface piercings. Oh well.
 
Yeah, but you were grouping all piercings together. So if you're grouping them all together, how is one different from the other? They're all equally holes in the body.
 
I'm turned off by anything pierced, besides the earlobe. I don't know why, but it creeps me right out. In fact, I'd rather no ear piercings either. Also no tattoos on chicks. On dudes, it's alright. But non-earlobe piercings always look trashy to me somehow--and piercings on private (g-spot) areas, like the tongue, chest, genitals ... BARF.

I think this is one of those things that people have opinions on without any clearly defined answers--either you're attracted to it or you're not. Matter of preference.
 
Um

I don't find any piercing attractive...

That doesn't make it disgusting either, I suppose, it's just not attractive so I don't really see the point...
 
Some piercings are okay (I kind of like belly button piercings...maybe just because my girlfriend has one) but the sternum bar just looks ****ed up. It's not attractive it looks like someone's been injured and a piece of metal got stuck in their skin, also it is like the worst place to put it because it would make me want to keep my hands away from it during sex it's the kind of thing you might be afraid would get ripped out (....the mental images that brings....are just messed up)
If nothing else it just looks ugly, it's ugly because it's a painful piece of metal with no attractive qualities.
I've nothing against piercings in general, but things like webbing that destroy your skin are damn ugly.
 
For me, I don't look at a piece of metal and go "ewwllll... well I just went soft :( ".
Just like I don't look at a piece of metal and go "whooaa... well I'm not soft anymore :) "

It doesn't make a difference to me.  Half my gf's were completely "normal pierced" and the other half were completely "freaky pierced" and it was never the piercing or the ink that made any one more attractive or less than the other.

Yeah, it takes me a while to respond. Sorry. But I like your answer. I think you're actually the first person to group all piercings (including ears!) together. I guess this is just one of those chemical things inside of us telling us what we are or what we aren't attracted it. (Nature vs. Nurture kind of works here...) I never saw the need for piercings or understood why people got them until I knew people who had them. Now I look at them in a different light. But, there are still some piercings I would saw "Ew" too. Such as the genital piercings. >.>

My boyfriend said he would be worried about the whole.. area too if I had one. He even showed me with his hands, his fingers would go right over the spot where the bar would be placed. That is definitely a scary thought; getting it ripped out. Hell, getting any piercing ripped out is a scary thought. From what I've heard though, the pain isn't that much (getting it done and afterwards).

I'm glad that there's someone who feels this way. The "Meh." attitude about it all. After meeting my boyfriend and his friends a year ago (and obviously now dating him), I've kind of got that attitude. Well, I lean more towards being attracted to certain piercings, but for the most part.. Meh. If ya got 'em, ya got 'em. if ya don't, ya don't. My boyfriend has his lip pierced twice (the 'snake bites') and his septum. It used to be a lot worse in high school; he had just about everything on his face hanging with metal. I can honestly say that even though I like piercings, if I knew him back then, I probably wouldn't have thought it was that attractive. Too much is just... too much. Subtleties (which is kind of how the sternum bar is) is good. The sternum bar can be hidden if you want it to be, or you can show it off, like most people do with their facial piercings.
 
I think all piercings are pretty gross. I've never had them, never will and I can't touch them. D: The only ones that look extra gross, to me, are the ones where the skin's discolored or infecty-looking.

So I Have This Scar, It's From An Allergy To Synthetic Protein (Biodegardable Stitches), It Has No Feeling, Its Bubbly And Weird, Scott Decided It Was Time To Pierce It.

Does that even count as a surface piercing? It looks like he just has a big ol' ugly nipple on his arm.
 
no. people who do stuff like this are just screaming out LOOK HOW OUTRAGEOUS AND DIFFERENT I AM. if i was interested ina a female, and then found out her back is pierced 12 times.. i'm pretty sure it'd be the first time ever that i call a woman a fag.

however, small metal bead/rings on the face are infinitely cool for anyone in their early 20's. why? because it's its just a small ring on your lip, and not a metal bar grotesquely protruding out of your forearm/chest/whatever.

any picture on that page sends my boner straight into the ground.
 
That's...definitly not attractive. Freaks, if you ask me, nobody perfectly sane would do that kind of stuff, it's not beautiful, it's simply metal randomly piercing the arms and backs and.... Small piercings in «normal» places like ears, nose, brows, that adds this coolness and style, but that kind of piercing is definitly disgusting.

Now I ask YOU, what do you find attractive on this? I am curious...
