I completely agree that it is beyond me. To me the whole thing is very sick, but the younger crowd seemed to think it was cool for a while. I sure hope that passes quickly because so much damage can be done via infection. I am particularly happy that none of my kids followed the fad! They would be sleeping outside!
I think that the problem is, that the people , who do have holes poked through body and face places, don't think too far ahead. LOL They all claim that they do it, because they like it, but then get huffy , when / if others look at them , won't hire them, or simply say that it does what your nic says. LOL
Thankfully , my daughter never wanted to do that. She would have been disinherited, and bedeviled for the rest of her life, by her father and me. Neither did she want to get tatooed. As a matter of fact, she finds both things horrible , distatseful, abhorant, and doesn't have any friends who have body / face piercing or tatoos.
