You Can't Kill The Metal!

This is Zoe and me, I have zero metal in my face, however Zoe has lots, why so?
Piercings are one of the most common types of mainstream body modification, with a vast majority of people in the UK having been pierced at some point in their lives. One reason for this may include the rising popularity of piercings within the celebrity world. Many celebrities such as Britney Spears, Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton etc have been pierced. Could these 'role models' be giving an impressionable youth the idea to be pierced?

Zoe has had more than her fair share of piercings, including:
  • 6 ear piercings plus 8mm flesh tube in right lobe


  • 3 nose piercings, either side and septum


  • Labret (lip) piercing


  • Tongue piercing


  • Navel piercing


  • Nipple piercings (both)


  • Eyebrow piercing

Amongst these piercings, Zoe claims that her septum and nipple piercings hurt the most, with her tongue piercing going septic. Why would someone risk their health for fashion?

For this vast amount of metal work (15 altogether FFS!), a hefty price must be paid. On an average pricing for modern day piercing, all this work comes to a staggering.......







£340!!!



The price of a Playstation 3 Package

OR......

5 Cows in India!



Is the cost of fashion really worth 5 cows???
