Do you have piercings?
Hello, my name is Lilit. I'm from Armenia. Today my question is, do you have piercings?
I absolutely love piercings. Although I have piercings only on my ears, I have this little tradition of getting a piercing every time I accomplish something my life. So most of my piercings I got during my student years, when I graduated college, then I graduated university, when I got my first job, which was a big accomplishment for me at that time. So I think it's a really fun way for me to commemorate all these achievements that I have in my life.
And I'm thinking I will continue doing this in the future as well and maybe one day I'll have my ears fully pierced. So I think that if anyone is thinking of getting a piercing, they should absolutely do it because it's just as fun as getting a tattoo or something similar.
