given by a former roommate after we bought a couch together - itās a couch and also Brockhampton was one of my favorite musical groups at the time, the couch is their logo. Itās so faded now
when I was 18 I got my septum, nostril, lobes, and cartilage pierced because in my head: immediacy of pain > duration of pain for body mods. For that reason I picked piercings before tattoos
My early teens and early 20s consisted of a lifestyle (and body mod habit) heavily influenced by subcultures (kicked around with punks, noise and hardcore dudes, ravers) but Iāve sadly gotten a bit more of a corpo job and toned it down (my manager is an ex-goth and loves techno though)
My advice is stick to your guns and continue to do tattoos if thatās your thing - donāt abandon it! People choose body mods for so many reasons and it creates a rich tapestry of social life that makes us unique
