I only have two "normal" piercings in each ear. I prefer tattoos to piercings. I have 8 tattoos. The aftercare on a tattoo is not as hard as piercing, at least in my opinion.

I have to admit though, when I see people around town who have large gauge piercings that you could put your thumb through, it really freaks me out. Although, I do tend to see a lot of that in Richmond. With 6 colleges in the area, what do you expect?
