Love this reflection on piercings/self-expression. Also the new earrings look AMAZING!
After our mom died, my sister and I both got sort of matching tattoos to honor her, but also she hated tattoos lol So it was also a coming-of-age, becoming adults thing too. I'd never thought much about that parent-death-to-tattoo-slash-piercing pipeline until I read your piece.
Ah, I guess this IS a thing! Thanks for sharing. I'm glad the essay resonated with you. And thank you, I'm trying to stop myself from ordering more earrings now :P
