I usually get a new piercing (or tattoo when I can afford it) this time of year, but because of covid travel restrictions, it'll have to wait. Not complaining, just a bit bummed I won't make my annual daytrip with some friends to [nearby big city] and get stabbed. Anyone else put their body mod plans on-hold for 2020?

Probably related: I'm thinking about stretching my ears bigger. They're 16mm right now, but I'm thinking I'd be happier with them closer to 19-20mm...

    raises hand in ignorance

    What's the difference in terminology between body modifications and general plastic surgery and/or gender reassignment surgery? Do they all fall under the same umbrella?

        I guess in the sense of a well-intentioned yokel: "Ah, you're post-op? Fan-fucking-tastic! I have some body mods, too!" proceeds to show off finger magnets and permanent eyeliner
