In 1960, 1970, 1980, etc., second-hole (lobe piercing) earrings were unacceptable. They were flashy, they were too much, they were whoreish, and they were unprofessional. Cartilage piercings were unheard of, and nose rings weren't even a thought - they were an abomination.
I have worked at a daycare for a year. I work with all ages, infants to 12 years old. When children see my nose ring or my many earrings, the conversation goes like this pretty much every time:
(I was told once that when working with preschoolers/school age children, it's a bad idea to have nose rings, because they may pull on them, or tell me they don't like me because of it. If I'm being completely honest, if a child is going to pull on my nose ring, or dislike me because of a piece of metal on my face, there are definitely other things happening there. Children aren't spiteful with no purpose, no background, no reason.)
Which Ear Piercings Look Best Together
I distinctly remember, one girl in my math class one year, got a Monroe piercing (above her lip). She was called into the office and told that she either had to take it out or go home. Again - she was PULLED OUT OF HER LEARNING ENVIRONMENT, (Algebra, which is confusing enough already), taken into the office, and told to either GO HOME or TAKE IT OUT. ALL BECAUSE OF A CENTIMETER WIDE PIECE OF METAL ON HER FACE.
If you aware of piercings and the piercing process, it isn't cheap. Getting a piercing can range anywhere from $30 to $60. Which means that that girl in my class, who was probably 15 or 16 at the time, went and paid to have it pierced, and then was forced to take it out. (Also, being 15/16, her parent had to go, which meant her parent approved. But the school didn't. Because, you know, the school paid for it and raised her, so you know, they get a say in the matter.)
She ended up taking it out, because she had to go to school, obviously, but the entire situation is utterly ridiculous, to say the least.
The Helix Piercing: Everything You Need To Know
Because, you know, that piece of metal in her lip, reaaalllllyyyy hindered my learning. It was awful. I couldn't focus at all. I can't believe she would make a choice that only affected her, and her alone, and expect me to be able to learn Y = MX + B while she sits there with a lip ring?!
When I was in high school, not many people had nose rings. I got my first nose ring my senior year (I didn't get called to the office over it, surprisingly). But teachers, and my mother, and my family members, etc., would all ask,
We'll start with the first question, we'll just get it out of the way. Yes, a needle getting pushed through a chunk of your skin hurts, but the great thing about piercings is, I chose to endure that pain. And with MY nose/ears being the one being pierced, you'll NEVER have to experience it! Isn't it great how that works?
How To Choose The Perfect Diamond Stud For Your Helix Piercing
My response to the second question... Why should I even have to answer that, and defend myself to anyone? Why did I choose to wear jeans today? Why did I choose to wear a grey sweater today? Why did I wear my hair pulled up today? Why am I wearing a nose ring and why do I have all those earrings in my ears? BECAUSE I WANT TO AND BECAUSE I LIKE THEM THERE.
) and I interview for a job, the first thing they will see when I come in the room and shake their hand is my face.
And when they see my face, their eyes will either narrow in on my nose rings, or they won't. And if they do, and they inform me that in receiving the job, I will have to take out my piercings, due to unprofessionalism, I will politely refuse their job offer. That may sound dramatic. Hear me out.
On Pins And Needles”
I will not be employed at a company that judges my job performance on, again, a piece of metal in my nose. Because I will guarantee there is a company out there that would welcome me, my talent and job readiness, and my nose rings, with wide, open arms. And I can't wait.
For the last eighty years, a masked vigilante has graced pop culture. Bringing justice to the streets of Gotham as a symbol to fight superstitious and cowardly criminals that plagued his city. This man is The Batman. Since his first appearance in Detective Comics #27 in March of 1939, Batman has been a positive role model for comic readers.
Showcasing how one man turned a tragedy into a call for justice. If you know me, you know I am a self-acclaimed Batman expert. A lot of my teenage years have been dedicated to researching the character's history. I am a walking Batman encyclopedia who knows everything from the night Bruce Wayne's parents were murdered, to his favorite dish (Mulligatawny Soup). I wanted to write this article to just describe my history with this character and how he has played a big part in my life.
All You Need To Know Before Getting Ear Piercings
Many critics of superheroes talk about how people shouldn't be looking at these characters for guidance. Sure, at first glance how could one relate themselves to a man who dresses up like a bat and fights a murderous clown? Well, I argue that these characters at their core are literary characters. These superheroes are apart of America's mythos. America's version of the Greek gods.
We are meant to look at these characters for guidance. To help us with our tragedies or our insecurities. That is why these characters have lasted for so long. Growing up as an only child, I obviously didn't have a lot of people in my life I could talk to. So I went to cartoons and movies to help show me what type of person I wanted to be and strive to be to this day. To be just a good person spreading good.
I didn't start liking Batman from a young age. My first exposure to superheroes was around 2010 after the second Iron Man film. But I didn't just want to be a casual reader. I wanted to know about these characters. I just so happened to stumble on Batman around February of 2012. I was on YouTube just looking at the sidebar of recommended videos. I just clicked on a Batman video with a fancy thumbnail and it was gameplay of the video game Batman: Arkham City (2011) that released that past fall. In the video, there was a commentator named kNIGHTWING01 and he was just talking about the different characters in the game you, the player interacted with. It was such a unique approach to the video and I just marathoned his videos for the next couple of months. In 2013, I finally created a YouTube page and he was one of the first people I subscribed to. I didn't know then, but I had opened myself to a bigger universe.
The Curated Ear: Why Delicate, Decorative Piercings Are The New Tattoos
I spent the next year looking at Wikipedia articles on characters to the Batman Mythos. The iconic villains like The Joker, Two-Face, Poison Ivy and all the different Robins. (Yes there are multiple Robins). Eventually, I convinced my mom to buy a Batman Encyclopedia that laid out all the major points of interest in Batman. At the time his 75th Anniversary was rolling around the corner and I was gearing up to celebrate in my own little way. By the time the anniversary rolled around, I had learned about the last seven decades of Batman.
If asked I could describe any major Batman story arc that came to mind. The Golden Age of comics in 1939 up to around World War II when Batman was first introduced. Fighting gangsters and mob bosses in Gotham City, wielding a pistol and executing criminals (very different from the character today). Or the Frank Miller run in the 1980s, The Dark Knight Returns where a fifty-five-year-old Batman dons the cowl once again to take back Gotham from a rising gang. By this time I have made sure to watch the main Batman movies released in Cinema and building up a collection of Batman comics and memorabilia. Then in August of 2014, my big break came.
Instagram was a very different place in 2014. There were no Instagram stories, your timeline feed was posted in chronological order, and the menu was blue! Today superhero accounts plague a section of Instagram. It is so difficult today to break out and gain a huge following. But back in 2014, there were hardly any left. I remember a guy DMed me on Instagram, he ran a superhero fact page called @Superhero_trivia. He asked if I wanted to be apart of his team. Obviously, fourteen-year-old me was ecstatic at the opportunity. I decided to do my facts on the Batfamily, a name given to all the members of Batman's team throughout the years. @Superhero_trivia was
