Drunksunflower,
A good friend of mine, who stays very tanned and fit, actually she is a personal trainer, has her belly button pierced. She has something that looks like a yellow diamond in her belly button. It is really quite pretty.
In general I hate body piercings. Typically, I feel like the person may have self-injury issues. Please anyone let me know if you disagree.
Drunksunflower, in your case it would seem that you have turned out just great. Look at you with your Ph.D., and successful career at such a young age.
You are your own women, and I personally don't think you need to make any more statements to prove that with any more body piercings.
Hugs,
EJ
