Piercings

Love them.

I do.

On a person that can carry them off they are hot.

I also think that personal marking whether it be

studs, tattoos, branding ..whatever, are a very

personal forms of expression that often let you

glimpse an aspect of a persons personality in much

the same way as a clothing style or hair does.

Radical..no.

They aren't any more.

The days of Sid Vicious rebellion associated with

piercings has gone.

But piercings are about adornment. They say ..I am not

afraid to alter my appearance in a way that might make

people form judgements.

They also have a history of being attractive to others,

or indicating bravery and group unity , and have been

used by many ancient tribes and races for these reasons

really since the art of adornment began. So they also

have a ritualistic, primitive quality to them that is

really cool.
