#6 Why do they even make those horrid things?
Sometimes, you'll see a product and ask, "Why do they even make those?" Plastic/acrylic gauges are one of those things to me. They are used for stretching piercings (Stretching - Body Modification, BMEzine: Stretching,) which should always be done with metal, bone, semi-precious stone, or silicone. Plastic harbors bacteria and will deteriorate in your ear during healing. Why do I see almost everyone walking around with plastic gauges? They obviously have no clue what they're doing, especially since they are more popular because "they're pretty." I think these people should be punished by law. The body modification process should not be taken lightly, especially since it will become permanent at a certain point in time. There should also be an interview before such modifications are made. If their reason is that "it's trendy," they should not be allowed to stretch. It is a big part of a community of punk, goth, emo, and, in general, dark people, NOT PREPS. I think the fine for being seen wearing plastic gauges should be $500. It is enough to stop people from doing it, as well as not being a somewhat low fine. On their third offense, the body part which the piercing is that they are stretching (i.e. earlobes) shall be cut off. Body modification should be researched before it is done to an individual. If they do not know how to take care of it, they might as well not do it.

I think people should have their own choice as to what they want to do with their own body. Unlike abortions, this is not killing anyone. This is simply just wearing body piercings and making the holes in your ears a bit bigger. No one should take that away from you. I personally think its your own choice if you want to wreck your body like this. To be honest, I would never do something like this, but to those who want these things then so be it! What is it doing to harm you?
