the drastic turn of ear piercings

do any of you guys have ear piercings? i feel like this trend specifically targeted teenagers during the pandemic that were in the stage of growing up and wanting to differ from their peers. you know? it was really cool to research the history, though. i left a link to a reddit page that talks about ear piercing failures. as much as i hate to admit it … they can be quite funny to read about. i hope all of my fellow watchers are doing well!

as always, here are the sources that i used for today’s video ~
