It’s not just about the cosmetic beauty I find in it, but it’s something I love, because It’s like a memento. Where were you in life when you got it done? What were you thinking? What compelled you to get a piercing/tattoo/have your ears stretched?

It’s interesting and everyone usually has a different reason for their mods. One person with stretched ears may have a 100% different reason for doing it than someone else who has been stretching the same amount of time or someone the same size as them.

It’s fun, and honestly it’s like a part of me I will truly love no matter what. Some mornings I get up and I’m not feeling so great about my appearance, but that never happens with my piercings/ears. I am always happy to see them. It’s like a little reminder that I’m beautiful, and I will only start to become more beautiful with time (and probably more mods!)
