Re: Piercings????
Fascinating, isn't it?I had my ears done (once in each) when I was about 35. I wear earrings all the time, though no other jewelery regularly, other than watch and wedding ring.
Body and face piercings? They seem quite alien to me, particularly the facial ones. I suppose they are removable and could be taken away to let the hole heal but every time I see them I think "Ah, if you had a wart/birthmark/scar there (particularly on the top lip, below the nose - where I suppose you could add fat bogey to the list of non-desirable features
- you couldn't wait to get it removed!It's a great generalisation but it also feels to me that a lot of these multi-pierced kids are actually a bit insecure and unsure - "Who am I? Well. I'm a pierced person, that's who I am"
As with tattoos I have a wonderful mental image of the Bideawee Retirement Home, where little old ladies and little old gents compare the grey smudges and saggy bits of metal which were once their pride and joy!
