So what about piercings? I see lots of make-up hate here (and I'm on board with that), but everyone is ok with sticking needles in your body, and then hanging dangly sparkles off those bits? Of is there a fair amount of hate for that kind of long-term self mutilation as well?
It's weird to me. I do have my ears pierced (friend took me for my 17th birthday, I regret it to this day, and never wear earings, even though the holes are STILL OPEN).
I got my belly button pierced when my douchebag of a first husband took advantage of a panic attack I had, wherein I was given like 3mg of ativan and was so doped up I probably could have been talked into thinking I could fly. He knew I hated piercings but took me straight from the emergency room to a piercing place in the mall.
It got infected pretty quickly. Nurse told me the vast majority of BB piercings get infected and people end up taking them out. Not to mention nipples, clit, head of a guys penis, and so forth. Ick. Agh, And the tongue! UMG, I find that so repulsive.
Oh yeah, I divorced that guy, but still have the stupid scar from the stupid piercing I never wanted.
