Well. Well. Well. Just to inform some of you who clearly are either close minded or just ignorant, but in today's society more and more "extreme" things have become acceptable.
For example, I began stretching my ears when I was about 20. When I was 21 I joined the Army National Guard, so I had to take my piercings out. Soon after getting out of all my training I was deployed to Iraq. After returning from Iraq I began stretching my ears back out. I am still currently in the National Guard and work for them as a civilian also. When I'm in uniform I take my piercings out, but as a civilian I wear them. My superiors may joke around because they do not understand why I did it, but they know that it does not inhibit my work as a soldier or civilian.
Why do people have to be critics on what a person does to their body or even live their life? Who gives them this right? Who are they to judge? I don't judge people because the things the do, because I know that when it comes down to it everyone does something in their life that is subject to scrutiny.
When I was growing up my parents always told me to be myself, even if they didn't agree with what I did.
