Does anyone know how facial studs La Brets and Eye brows etc affect masks sealing and gear comfort etc:D
 
I think that an eyebrow ring may only be a bother if your mask seal was right over it, but should be fine seal-wise since it should be higher than eyebrow level anyhow.

As for the labret, I'd think it would only be a problem if the way your lip bends down towards your chin with the reg in your mouth causes the backing to jab into your gums or teeth causing discomfort.

If you dive in cold water, it may make the area get colder faster. I have my rook pierced, and that area of my ear gets colder faster because of the metal ring in it.
