Before reading this article, I knew very much about the topic discussed. When I turned sixteen years old, that's when I begged and pleaded my mom to get a second piercing on the lobe of my ears. Of course, she said no, she claimed that I was too "young" and that taking care of a piercing was a lot of work. My mom had experience since as a young child, piercing her ears were a hobby. After weeks of harassing her, she finally gave in. Afterwards, each and every year I would ask if I can get another piercing. The adrenaline running throughout your body right before getting a piercing is an incredible feeling. It seemed that I used to be addicted to wanting to have that feeling over and over again. I will be nineteen years old in a few months, and I've already gotten ten piercings. However, I have gone through my share of infected piercings, and unfortunately, learned the hard way.
I would like to know more about the history of body piercings and tattoos, in addition to learning more about cultures and their beliefs on body art. As a person who gets a lot of piercings, I haven't really learned much from the article since I just so happen to know most of the consequences of piercings. As much as I suffered from the piercings that have gone wrong, nothing can stop me from getting more.
