Cosplay question? [Piercings]
 
Not exactly sure where this should be, but cosplay is mostly related to anime and manga so I'm posting this here.

Okay, so my friends want me to cosplay as one of my original characters which I'm fine with doing but -

He's got a pierced eyebrow and pierced cartilage. I wouldn't mind getting my cartilage re-pierced again but there's no way I'm getting an eyebrow piercing done.

So, is there anyway to have a pierced eyebrow without actually piercing it? It's just like a tiny silver stud...

If you know or have any ideas, I'd love to here them.

Try taping it, or using some sort of sticky material so you don't acually have to pierced? I can understand you, I really wouldn't want to get my eyebrow pierced too. XD

try using eyelash glue to glue it to your eybrow

If you're not picky, you can ignore that little detail

At costume stores they sell some kits that have fake piercings. You could try looking there (if you have one nearby), or on the internet for a kit like that.

use gum paste. it's what i used when i cosplayed as pein.

Spirit gum should work fine to attach any fake piercings. It also has the benefit of being liquid for application and drying clear on your skin.

Also, since it's your OC, does the piercing really matter that much? It's not a canon character you're trying to copy, so I don't necessarily see why there's an issue at all.

Thanks for the suggestions.

@Talentless_Muse - the piercing is some-what of a trade mark for the character and while he may only be an original character, it's not something I want to leave out. And when I say "OC" - I don't mean a character made up for a fandom. My friends and I have been working on a project which turned out to be bigger than expected. So the cosplay is pretty much for our enjoyment as well as anybody who knows of the character.
