Piercings Aren't That Bad.

Body piercings are a form of body modification in which a part of the human body is punctured or cut, creating an opening where jewelry may be worn. The reasons for piercing or not piercing are varied. Some people pierce for religious or spiritual reasons, while others pierce for self-expression, aesthetic value, or to conform to their culture or to rebel against it. Some forms of piercing remain controversial, particularly when applied to youth. The display or placements of piercings have been restricted by schools, employers and religious groups. My opinion on piercings is that they aren’t the absolute worst thing you could do to your body, so why are they looked down upon except for the mainstream ear piercings? For people to be discriminated by this is very ridiculous for the reason that almost every person has a one. Just because someone has a metal rod going through there lip or nose doesn’t mean that they should be looked down upon because they have more than just their ears done. I mean really, I understand that for certain jobs they have to cover up piercings if they’re on the face or something for health risks and such, though. All around piercings are a less frightening way to express yourself and not really that permanent. In some cases getting pierced is fun; it can change your whole look. It’s the way you wear them that determines if they are attractive on you or not. Sometimes people will get outrageous piercings and the outcome can be brutal and it’ll just not turn out very well. Also, when you do get pierced make sure and take care of it. You should clean them and make sure they don’t get infected; DO WHAT THE PIERCER TELLS YOU TO DO! Just don’t go off and do your own thing, you have to make sure you take of them or else you’ll end up either having to take them out or it’ll look really weird. In most cases piercings are the most common body modification and will continue to because well you won’t be stuck with them the rest of your life; you can take them out whenever you please. Just watch out because sometimes when you take them out too early and plan on putting them back in, it doesn’t work because the skin will grow back really fast and that just sucks. If you want a piercing be responsible and take care of it or else you really don’t need one. Now sometimes piercings can get to be addictive and you just want to get more and more, but you need to know your limits because a face or body full of metal is SO not attractive and then you actually will scare a lot of people. Just know that sometimes you have to ignore the wanting for more piercings unless you don’t have that many. But again, piercings aren’t that bad. They’re just like any other body modification but the public is more comfortable with them.
