    Can't stop staring at his lip piercing when he talks

    The first time I saw him I immediately though Chaplin, Keaton, Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, etc etc. So good!

    Umm... He probably does take it out- the glue on the tape he uses is strong enough to hold on his face even if he is sweating and moves his facial muscles. So ripping that tape off could be painful for a person with piercings. He can take the stud out even for a day, if he had it for a long time. And if he is afraid of germs or whatever, he can cover the hole with a band-aid before applying the tape.

    Actually I doubt that he takes the piercing out. Firstly because one rarely want glue in an open wound. Secondly because piercings have a tendency to grow really fast, så if the show lasts for too long, he'll have to stick a needle through his lip again. And the tape is not strong enough to rip flesh apart. It hardly makes any difference.

    Imagine if he once forgot to take out his lip peircing and ripped the tape off and it pulled it out
