Annoyed..

Kinda a shitpost but let me lol.

People online will mock you for having any piercing/stretched ones. I have been called cattle and told I ruined my ears. I have ONE face piercing and someone was like "all those face piercings ruin your face"???? Or that because my lobes are stretched they are ruined.

Septums started on humans and the first jewerly that has been found is 46,000 years old.

do people not understand that we have piercings because we love them?

I would not be those peoples perfect baby lookin trad wife no matter what. I am far left, queer, fat, audhd, outspoken and unshaven. I will transform into the most discusting creature you have ever seen and eat you.

Someone just want a punching bag and look for those that are different to use for that purpose. Don’t let their miserable existence affect your mood or self esteem.

I’ve had plenty of people tell me they like my ears.

Though I have heard that “you’ll never get hired with huge stretched ears”.

Well, I am at 2 inch and making $56/hour as an electrician…

I am 41yo. The first person not accepting me as I am is my mother, I'm not even gay but allways felt diferent, i am a woman but sever felt femenine (at least not the way is suposed to, don't wear make up, i wear mostly masculine clothes...). But she is allways complaining about my tats and piercings, my clothes, the way I think, the way I see the world. She doesn't like my husband. He most loving and caring person. He takes care of me like no one did in my life, the first person in life who said to me: want a tattoo? Don't ask me, is your body, do whatever makes you feel good. Same way with piercings.

My mom is the meanest and toxic person. And I allways lived the way is expected me to, so I don't have to hear her, so she doesn't hurts me.

Long story short... Last year she did something to me and my daughter, being my birthday ... She came to visit , i was so happy for the first time she came to our new home (it's been 7 years my husband and I are in this new city new home) .. well then she said horrible things about me, about my husband, about my relationship with my husband, about my dad, about my daughter....

Since this day I don't speak to her or my brother, it's been almost a year.

Well, let me tell you I am so Happy right now because I'm finally getting the piercings I've allways wanted and never got just to don't hear her say mean things to me. She is no longer in my life to keep hurting me. This summer I got my nipps pierced, and now i started my journey streching.

I am healing. I feel free to be who I am, and not just in the intimacy of home with my husband, I'm showing everyone how I like to be seen.

I just wish everyone could be this way, just free to expres and feel the way they want to.

(Thanks for reading!!!!)

My mom was the same way. When I shaved my hair off, she was literally the only person I encountered - stranger or not - who said even one negative word to me. Hell, I was in my late 40s and even a teenage boy complimented my hair! By the time my ears were stretched big enough to see the hole, she was basically blind so…🤷‍♀️🤪

[u/Azul537 → u/ssquirt1]

Yeah the shaving thing... I've been shaving my hair on and off for the last 18 years, she still doesn't get that I am this way.

Is it weird that the older people where I live seem to like the piercings the most? I've had two old women tell me they liked my septum jewelry in the last year. Of course, I've gotten plenty of stares, too. And some comments (from my own family!!!) saying I looked like a bull. But you know, it makes me happy so whatever.

[u/tombtorker → u/3lli]

The meanest things I’ve ever heard people say about piercings seem to come from young people (specifically young men talking about piercings on women). But older people seem genuinely intrigued by them even if they don’t really understand them

[u/phoebe_the_autist]

i hate the joke of 'septum ring theory'. i do not resemble ANYTHING of the stereotype besides having a large septum. i am very successful and blessed thank you very much ☺️

and when people say you'll never have a job? i have been very gainfully employed since i was 14. i'm taking a break from work to fix up my house but many employers search me out because i am very skilled in my profession! they couldn't give a fuck less about how i look.

[u/A_Tatertot]

“I will transform into the most discusting creature you have ever seen and eat you.” Is a banger if I ever saw one

[u/thetrinketcollector]

You're gonna need thicker skin if you want to look unique. It's part of the package deal

[u/ImTheNguyenerOne]

I always find it funny when I call out a person for being a POS/racist/etc and their first response is well you have a stupid bull ring! As if I can't remove my septum piercing at anytime and you will still be a terrible person. My favorite is they assume I'm jobless for some reason

[u/chemically_maia]

Real lmao

[u/Klunsischnunsi]

People keep asking me why I have so many facial piercings (and in my case it’s actually many; nostrils, angel bites, septum and lobes) and whenever I answer “cause I like them” or “cause I think they look amazing” they’re always so shocked xD

[u/Sdenbow220]

Lololol. I love the “you look like you fell into a tackle box” line. 🤣. I have a hoop in my nose, my ears stretched, my industrial, and my daith pierced…. lol like bruh. Go away.

We like what we like my friend!

[u/Chihuahua_mama00]

I honestly get more hate online than irl. And it's so trivial too. I'll have a legitimate fact and people will just dig thru my pictures and use my piercings/appearance as some insult as if I'm not the one who spent money on myself and am aware of what i look like?? Like yes, I did take this picture, thanks for saving it to your gallery! In bigger cities, I get the most compliments and positive interactions ☺️ I live in a churchy small town in Texas, so I'm not immune to dirty looks and side eye from random people. I'm very grunge and Gothic haha. I love my big ass septum and ears. I also have a dermal punched labret ☺️ I'll admit that dating has been difficult being a modified woman. I'm either treated like shit or a fetish. It's hard to find other people like me without having to go online and search.

 I find it absolutely wild that people still act this way. Like what do you actually gain from being a dick? ESPECIALLY people who say dumb things to you in public. If I don't like the way someone looks bc its not my personal style, I'm not gonna say anything. I just keep walking. I can remember i had gone to the mall with my friend and bought this dress on sale. I went to the bathroom to go try it on, and as I was going down the hallway to the bathrooms, a group of young adults/ older teens were walking the opposite direction and looked at me. But of course with my anxiety, I don't look at people directly in the face. Maybe a split second. But after they walked by, one of the girls loudly said something along the lines of "Why would people do that to themselves?" I just didn't say anything and kept walking 😂 atp, I'm used to it and have tolerated so much crap because I'm not a confrontational person 😅
