Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand why people always give the "I don't know why you'd get a piercing/tattoo" response. It's just a personal taste thing- like dying your hair, or wearing clothes in a certain style or colour.
I understand it's not particularly original and not everyone's cup of tea, but surely people should just accept that sometimes, you want a bit stapled purely because you feel like it.
This.
Piercings aren't for me personally. My face pisses people off and I don't want to staple any shiny little targets to it. Nothing that can be ripped off in a fight.
However, if you want one. Get one. Don't be held back by the social stigma (really escapist forum, I'm surprised at you). Like with tattoos, your hairstyle, whether you like to be tanned or pale; it's a personal style thing and nobody can tell you that's wrong because it's what you enjoy.
I also feel strongly about how people with piercings and tats are discriminated against in job interviews. Yes I call it discrimination. You may as well say you can't get a job if you're a gamer, or if you don't rock your natural hair colour...
What the...
... who put this soap box under me?
Anyway, to each their own. Let 'em go, I say.
Also last year I was lucky enough to kiss a girl with a lip piercing. I don't know whether she was just a good kisser or if it was the piercing but hot damn! I had some of the best kisses of my life with that girl, shame she was a horrible person but you can't have everything all of the time. Or even some of the things most of the time. Or anything anytime.
