Piercing Reasoning
"I told her I was thinking of getting one on my nose, but she said, 'No more piercings,' " Funderburg recalled. "I know my mom thinks it's a form of mutilation, but it's not. It's a matter of self-expression." The only downside of her eyebrow ring is that she had to remove it for her job, which has a no-facial-piercings policy.It's mutilation AND self-expression. What's so hard for the young to understand about that? I love the anecdote about the girl catching her belly-piercing on a slamming car trunk. Me, if I were in med school I'd be going into piercing-hole-reconstructive-surgery, along with tattoo removal. There's going to be a lot of work in the future.
