well, I guess you are entitled to your opinions. I really didn't put deep philosophical thought into it when I did it. I just did it. And as for it being popular or in fashion.....I could care less about those things. They do not motivate what I do. I have thirteen tattoos. Never imagined I would be defending my decision to pierce her ears though. In my world it is a normal thing to do. I guess for me what matters is she likes it, she is happy and it has never ever caused any grief. Strange how something you see as normal can be so disagreeable to others. Kinda like BDSM in a way I guess. I do appreciate your input, Thorne. And I respectfully agree to disagree.
