So Industrial

"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 extreme. A belly piercing and a tongue piercing seem normal for a girl to want or have. But the industrial piercing seems weird and a little extreme to me. I just thought it was a fashion statement or something, but she got it because she had "seen it on people and thought it would look good on me." Self confidence is good, and I'm happy she did this for herself and she likes it, but what does a bar across your ear mean? Whats the point? There pretty no point in it other than she wanted it. The only downside is that it causes "mild ear pain and light headaches" and that its the side she sleeps on. So she looks I guess "good" and she can't sleep to comfortably, but at least she is happy and doesn't regret it. 

When I first saw that giant rod across her ear, I initially thought what did she do to herself? Whats the point of it? You're not punk. But everyone was cool with it and there is nothing we can do. Now that she is going to start working, hopefully employers don't think to much of the piercing. I mean, what could a pink, giant piercing on a 4'11 girl mean? Not much considering she got it because she liked it, which is the whole point of the piercing. She also made a good decisions by choosing a piercing over a tattoo, she probably would've regretted a tattoo she got only because she had extra money while getting the piercing. I can't really imagine anyone else I'm related to, doing this but her. She is comfortable with her decisions and who she is, and that's all that should matter.
