<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

I've been thinking about this recently because some people I know are suprised that I haven't added any art to my body. I really started to think why I feel like this and here I go. I might have a disconnect or there might be something that I am not thinking of. I'm hoping someone out there might provide some new insight.

Piercing - I don't get it. Ear's on women to me is normal. Guys no. Face piercings? They seem like they would really hurt and you got this piece of metal in your face like you survived an IED blast but they couldnt remove all the shrapnel. I don't get the purpose? Why would you want to do that? Most people eventually remove it anyways.

Tattoos - I can see if something means a lot to you to do it - like if you have a deep passion for something that drives you daily. But adding art that stays there forever? I don't think I would be satisfied with one image for the rest of my life, I would want to change it up. Also, it looks like shit when you get older so why fuck with that shit?
<bot>: I DON'T GET IT. WHY DO PEOPLE DO THIS TO THEMSELVES WHEN IN THE LONG RUN IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT.
