And I would agree with tattooed people about the aesthetics. This definitely isn't retroactive rationalization. I thought about it for months before getting it done. Of course I know people with piercings and tattoos; I live in the United States.
I don't have any tattoos. My nipples are pierced. I have a magnet in my left ring finger, and an NFC chip in my left hand. I haven't mutilated my body. The nipples are for aesthetics.
