So Industrial Revised

"I decided on getting this piercing because I like how it looks and I can remove it easily unlike a tattoo that would permanently be on my body"


This is my cousin Natalie. I haven't seen her in a while, maybe Easter? She never seemed like the type to do anything too extreme. She has a belly and tongue piercing, stuff a girl usually wants. But the industrial piercing seemed weird and a little extreme to me. I just thought it was a fashion statement or something. When I initially saw the giant, pink rod with a heart across her tiny left ear, I could only think why? What's the point of that thing? You're not punk. But she does go to some extremes to see someone like 3 hours away from her and hides it from her parents somehow and who knows how much more she does, there is really no one else that would do it in my family but her.

"I decided on getting this piercing because I like how it looks and I can remove it easily unlike a tattoo, it would be o my body permanently. I have had it for 4 days now. (then, now probably like 3,4 weeks?) I don't regret getting it done even though it has caused some mild ear pain and light headaches. I chose this specific earring because i liked the heart in the center of the bar. There is really no significance why I got it. I don't feel rebellious for getting the piercing, but my parents think I am, they didn't know I was getting it."

Punks were the immediate fashion I thought of when I first saw the piercing. They're the group that does weird things, bunch of piercings, dark clothes and tattoos. But she is not in that crowd. She is a 4'11 girl that just dresses the way she wants. Employers will probably see the piercing as rebellious, or whatever they think about piercings. But luckily for her she can "remove it easily unlike a tattoo that would permanently be on [her] body". Work for her will be interesting. It will all depend on what the employer thinks and whether or not she's wearing the piercing.

So she pretty much got the piercing because she thought it would look good on her. People will think differently about it and her, but then realize she's a tiny, quiet person that will just laugh at whatever you say. I guess she looks, "good", but all that matters is if she is proud of her decisions. The point pretty much of her piercing is, I don't know, if you think it's a good idea do it. Just don't regret it.
