I do have pierced ears.

That said.... looking at these pictures, and I DO see a lot of this around, in person.

These people will not live long enough to see 50, or sagging or illness.

What they did to their bodies when young, they will carry it along with them (obviously)

The one thing that bothers me the most are the nose rings.

A cousin of mine, he was adopted so I do not know his history, died from bone cancer.

He was covered in tattoooos. He was maybe ... 48 years old

These people do not get old and saggy

I consider pierced ears mainstream - one or multiple. I can’t tell you how many clip on ear rings I’ve lost over the years!

Yes, I don’t get the nose rings either. What happens when one sneezes?

nose rings remind me of bulls.

Yes, I have all of my moms jewelry and she has many unmatched earrings.

Still they are treasures

I am totally in your camp! I can not believe how common tattoos which cover large areas of the body have become.
