“How poking holes in your earlobes — aka ear piercing — became a girl thing.” – YT
I got my ears pierced for the first time when I was four years old. I think the second set came when I was an early teenager, and then I got my upper right ear pierced when I was about 18.
I got my nose pierced when I was about 20 or 21. I can’t really remember.
So yes, along with my various tattoos, you could say that I have a thing for body modification.
Really, though, I haven’t thought much about why. I mostly felt drawn to getting pierced.
