I'm surprised no one has made these already, but I really wanted some facial piercings for my sims so I went ahead and made some myself. At the moment, I don't believe there is a way to layer makeup, so I created both each piercing as it's own mask, and also a few combinations for variety. These are found under costume makeup, and they are recolorable so you can have tinted metals. However, since they are made from a costume makeup, you cannot apply patterns to these. They are made to look like metal, so unless you make them black, they are going to always have that metallic look.
I know people are going to make better ones, but these are just to hold me (and you) over until they do :]
Some Issues_______________________
Because they are fitted to the face, if your sim has extreme features, the piercings may stretch and become distorted. This is most noticeable for the bridge piercing on males and females and also for the septum piercing on females. The female piercings are distorted much more easily than the male ones for some reason, I guess female sims have more distinct faces. Also, the industrial piercing on females looks a little squiggly. I tried my hardest to make it straight, but it always ended up distorted. The industrial looks fine for males though.
There seems to be an issue where when your sim showers, the piercings revert to one of the standard maxis costume makeups, even when the category "naked" is activated. This seems to be an issue with a few other downloads on this site and I dont know if there's much I can do about it at the moment.
These work for all outfits, teen through elder.
Notes_____________________________
The black lobe piercing you see on the male model is not part of the set -- it is a maxis accessory item and you all already have it.
To clarify, the septum piercing is noted as "nose" in the file names.
Model credits_______________________
Models are my own. They are seen wearing Aikea Guinea's replacement skins and my custom replacement eyes.

Do whatever you want with my stuff. You can include it with sims, edit the items, whatever.
Credit is appreciated, though. :]
Feel free to make a request, but I can't guarantee anything. Your best bet is to request something that is at least similar to anything I've made previously in some aspect, because I'll only make it if it's something I would like to have myself. I don't know how to mesh, and I'm not very good at celebrity sims.
About the TF2 characters: the next one was originally planned to be the Spy, but his mask is proving to be much more difficult than expected. The uploads are going to be coming slower until more tools come out for modding.
