First I'd like to say that I do respect your individuality and choices that you've made that YOU feel are appropriate for YOU. With that said I was wondering if you could articulate in depth the reason why you chose to pierce and what it means or represents to YOU. Thanks. :) Ex- Anymore I regularly get bored with my appearance and start feeling plain. Piercings are a more comfortable way for me to adorn myself than hair and makeup, and if I wake up with 15 minutes to get out the door, I still have something interesting about me. Also, I'm a metalhead and mostly dress as such except at work or when I'm doing something serious {ex. at an appointment/DMV/buying something like furniture where I need salespeople to not ignore me because I look like I can't afford anything}. My s/o is a professional musician, we're both in bands, etc. so it's sort of more like a lifestyle than something I do one weekend a month. Piercings are to metalheads as critter pants are to East Coast preps.
