Anything I do with my body is for me.

I'm not interested in making my body a statement about anything or anyone, I don't wish to identify with a "tribe" or group or any political ideology.  It's simply my body and I'll do with it want I want to.

I have several piercings, dating back to my teens -- that's a long time ago -- and they exist, or cease to, because I find them decorative.  Tattoos, on the other hand, are different.
