So...

I am pretty much over the era of the facial piercing. One day these kids will wake up and think "Why the hell did I put a hole in my face?" If I had a dollar for every person I've seen today with a lip, eyebrow or nose piercing, I'd be able to buy all the M.A.C. makeup that I currently have my eye on. And that pair of grey and pink Converse. And a muffin. Or two.

Don't even get me started on the whole surface piercing thing. That will open up a whole other can of worms.

EDIT: Kay, I feel like I should clarify a bit. I do not hate all piercings and everybody with them. I think that some people suit them, and that some people look really good with them. The thing I have the issue with is the fact that it seems to have become the "trendy" thing to do. And a couple years from now, heck, maybe even sooner, they will wonder why they did it. It's like the ridiculous number of girls with a butterfly lower back tattoo (or almost any other lower back tattoo). It was the trend,a fad, and a few years from now, it's very possible that they will regret it. I myself considered piercing my lip, but I ultimately decided not to (for a reason as silly as the application of lipgloss). And as for the surface piercing thing, in my (near OCD) need to research things completely, while I was considering my lip, I basically scoured the internet for info, and read (in many places) that all too often, surface piercings ultimately reject, and scar nastily.

But the biggest thing is that it's a personal choice, and it was totally not meant as an attack on anyone with a piercing. If someone wants to make like the cat man and pierce their cheeks so they can have whiskers, go for it, as long as they aren't doing it because someone decided that it was "cool."
