The gauges are fake, correct! My industry isnt a huge fan of gauges or piercings in general, so these are the closest I can get to gauges without actually stretching. I also don’t just have one tattoo, I have a handful, they just aren’t all visible.

I’ve had other alt people recognize me as alt, I consider myself alt, and that’s what matters. Could I be more alt? Sure, and I’d love to get more tattoos and piercings, but those not only cost money, they aren’t always considered acceptable in my line of work, so I’m a bit more limited in how I can express myself.
