You know, there are cultures who value piercings not only as a representative of their culture, but as marks of valor, rights of passage, etc.
Good for them. Last I checked the 15 year olds getting belly button piercings and bolts through the tongue weren't part of those cultures.
Very true, but standards of beauty differ greatly from person to person. Whether or not it's done to follow a trend, a person may get it to feel beautiful.
I stand my ground.
Why don't you just admit it's simply your opinion that piercings and tattoos aren't attractive on women just as it's simply my opinion that beards aren't attractive on men?
You don't like beards? What's wrong with you? Fa-REAK!
