Simple Body Mods

I have always been one to shy away from doing things outside the norm, even when a lot of my friends have always done things to stand out. I have a number of girlfriends that have gotten different forms of body modifications over the years. Of course, all of us have the most common form, which are pierced ears. I have three holes in each of my ears and a cuff on one ear. That is about as extreme as I have ever wanted to go when it came to body mods. I just don’t like the idea of doing any serious permanent damage to my body.

I have one girlfriend who recently came over to hang out to show me her new plugs she got for her stretched ears. I don’t think I could ever stretch my earlobes out like she has, but I have to admit I actually really do like how her new plugs look in her ears. She has a variety of them, from girly to simple solid colors. I asked her how big she was going to go, but she said she does not intend to stretch her ears out too far. She decided that she wanted to stretch them out enough to add a special accent to her body. She wanted to do something special to make herself stand out and typical ear piercings weren’t enough for her.

Another one of our girlfriends has gotten a number of piercings done. She has her ears, nose, tongue, and her nipples pierced. I do admit I wouldn’t mind getting my belly button pierced, but getting my nipples pierced isn’t an option for me. Personally, I think that would be way too painful a procedure, my friend didn’t think that it was too bad. She said it was rather uncomfortable when she was going through the healing process, but now she loves them. My friends and I do agree on one thing. No matter what decision a person makes when it comes to the form of body modification that they do, it should be accepted, we are all individuals.
