Is This a Stretch?
Like tattoos, piercings are another controversial form of body art prevalent in cultures all around the world. The practice is so old that archaeologists have found 5,000-year-old mummies wearing earrings. Whether we like one kind of piercing or another will depend on the current beauty standards a society has in place.
Stretching your ears out isn’t anything new, either. King Tut was doing it long before we were begging our mom to take us to Hot Topic for glow-in-the-dark plugs. u/Feels2old thinks we’ll regret going with bigger gauges, but centuries have passed and we’re still holding on tight to this one. What’s another twenty years?
