Quote:Question I mean the message that you're trying to get across by getting a piercing. What are you trying to say? A piercing can have all sorts of symbolic meanings. Does it mean that you're a masochist? That would be the most obvious interpretation to someone unfamiliar with the supposed culture.
Well I am trying to say that I am not afraid of society and I don't have to hide my interests and I can freely be myself. I might be a masochist but it is too early to tell.

It is bad to trust those you are afraid of anyway.

True but if they don't have the time to get to know me then I don't have the time to care.
Quote:Most kids who get piercings tend to think that they're rebelling (according to the stereotype, which you fit otherwise).
I am not like most kids.
Quote: Quote: and money is my parents problem
By the way, what if you indeed had an infection as Wise says? You'd make your parents lose lots of money in an operation just so you feel good with yourself? I think that's a bit unfair, don't you?
No, since my dad was in the military we have preety nice insurance and an infection treatment surgery is minor at best. Besides I am not ignorant enough to get an infection from a piercing ( which can only be caused by improper care)
