facial piercings

Nose and lip adornments

Facial piercings are decorative holes made through the skin of the face to hold jewelry—typically in the nose, eyebrow, lip, or tongue.

They range from subtle studs to elaborate arrangements of rings and bars.

Once associated mainly with punk subculture, facial piercings have become mainstream, though some workplaces still prohibit visible ones: She had to remove her facial piercings for the interview.
