Interesting quote

Will

...we hope to foster the idea that adornment is a natural, necessary part of our existence as humans. It helps us feel complete, it makes the world a beautiful place, and it just makes things more interesting. An 18g earring is as much of an adornment rooted in tradition as a 3? stretched ear lobe. One takes longer, requires more patience and involves more societal taboo but both are alterations of the body for the sake of beauty and ritual. In our eyes, adornment is simply making ourselves beautiful. A scarification, a tattoo, a piercing - we are children of the past growing toward a beautiful future, and these are the media with which we adorn ourselves.

Just saw it and thought it was nice. Bit cheesy but hey what ya gonna do.
Might use that when people ask me the "why do you do it" question.

i do really like it. though for me, the beauty of the piercing in particular is really just a side effect type thing to the actual point in a piercing.

but im tired and amn't even gonna attempt to explain that further.
