Do you wear piercings to conform to social norms or rebel against it?

In ancient times people wore it for spiritual reasons and achieve mental states. For instance, piercing your lobes was said to reduce desire.(stretching my ear lobe to 10mms kinda reduced em)
Moreover septums were seen as a sign of strength (i mean shouldn't they? They hurt af) It's really weird how in this lifetime it's frowned upon and not accepted in diff fields like teaching and government.
Humans are so evil now, it's really sad.


I did my ear tunnels and septum to rebel against the Arabic society, 😝 and aesthetics. How about you?
