On the other hand I wouldn't have been caught dead in School with them.

If you're piercings are healed, and it's not necessary to wear them, then don't.



I think if I didn't have the piercing, I would have drawn much less attention to myself.


For some reason I had the sensation of being a 'rockstar' type figure-- now that I look back on it, it's pretty embarrassing.

For the record, I posted one of those instances:




We thought we were so cool. (Im in the blue, with the ridiculous white sunglasses on.)
It's good to hear that your host family didn't care. I hope mine will have the same reaction. When I was in Sendai I still brought a lot of attention to myself, and I didn't have any piercings then. I think I'll get a lot of attention either way just because I'm an obvious foreigner.

And those sunglasses are cool lol. I think that someone only has the annoying "rockstar" aura when they walk around, thinking they're cooler than everyone else. Doesn't mean you can't wear the shades. Cause believe me, I love busting out my shades too.

Why didn't you like to wear your piercings in school?


LOVE: pass it on
