I actually think she looks nice.
bodymods is a community about piercings, tattoos, and other things people decorate their bodies with. It's a bit heavy on the snark at times - making a first post without tags will get you mocked by the mods, and new users are expected to lurk until they get a decent idea of what's allowed and what isn't. But generally it's a nice place to ask questions and share personal experience.

As it turns out, showing off your new piercing in your first post is not what the community is for. lunsanslautre does it anyway. She's told to maybe try that shit somewhere else. ZOMG OPPRESSION I'M LEAVING FOREVER! - THIS IS NOT MYSPACE, also, mod tags. - Everyone here is 15 and I'm a special snowflake! - But it's so myspacey. - Couldn't be more myspacey. - My spacey? - They aren't myspacey, I'm a photographic major. - STOP SAYING MYSPACEY.

We'll have a thread about guinea pigs instead! - No, guinea pigs are bad. :( - Fine, let's talk about how scene kids are oppressing me! - No they're not. - Okay, but I'm still going to cry about it. - We don't care. - I was joking. I don't care. This community is so cunty today.

hehehehehe. I love them - on others. I absolutely adore bodymods of all types, though there are many I wouldn't get on myself for very specific reasons. But I think they're fab, and love to play with them on others.

Keep in mind most people who get the more extreme body mods like that are in it for the long haul and will usually have many other more extreme mods too. They're probably not too worried about the aesthetic when they're older.

Yeah, everyone I've met with enlarged piercings has had tattoos and other piercings as well. But surely a huge hole in your ear will not age gracefully? Or do you mean that they don't care about how it will look when they're older, rather than they think it will be okay?

I mean they don't care.

Some might be oblivious to the fact it will change, of course, but people who are getting significant mods, I dunno, often seem to me to be very adaptable to the process of change those mods take as time passes. Because all mods change on an ongoing basis, cos the body is a constantly changing thing, growing, shedding, healing, ageing, etc.
