I'm thinking about getting some piercings. Definitely getting my eyebrow done and I'm going back and forth on getting a centered labret. Can anyone offer up some pros and cons for me to mull over? I'm also curious about what to look for in a piercer (obviously experience and hygeine...anything else?) and any tips or tricks you've got for me to make the healing process easier.

As for finding a piercer, I lucked out with my first one. I chose her for no other reason than that she had a shop a couple blocks from my house and went to her for almost all the rest. If I were to chose one now, I'd probably only go to one my pierced friends recommended.
Healing depends a lot on where on the body it is, the gauge, and the skill of the piercer. You're probably safe if you follow the aftercare guidelines they give you really closely. General good aftercare for almost any piercing is just soaking it once or twice a day in hot salt water for a minute at a time.
Anyhow, heck yeah piercings! I think they're great.
