Response to Debbie's 'Piercings' blog

I'd never really thought of piercings as a different style of dress or make up before but if you think about it, they are. If someone wants to go out wearing a lot of make up, they can, so why shouldn't someone go out with a few piercings here and there. It's just an alternative form of expression that some people like and some people don't, which is the same with everything, so why should certain individuals be penalised?

I also agree that it is suitable to tone it down in certain situations, in a job interview for example, for your own sake more than anything. I say this because society does expect people to look and act in a certain way in certain situations, whether we agree with it or not. But as far as day-to-day life goes, as long as it doesn't affect anyone else I don't see why individuals shouldn't be able to express themselves creatively.
