Why? Last time I checked, when you get older you don't miraculously have completely different tastes to those you have when you're young. And you *can* take piercings out, y'know.
Well, I'm 47, and yeah, you're right, tastes don't miraculously change. But they do change gradually, and I suspect some things that might feel right when you're a teenager won't mean the same thing thirty years later.
But hey, I don't know who this individual is and how they'll feel about anything in their life thirty minutes or thirty years from now.
...every time I hear that sentiment, I wonder why the person expressing it is so sure the person they're expressing it about is going to live to see the age in question, and feel a faint desire to go look up statistics on car crashes.
Hi. I followed links from andrewducker's journal and found this. A little Google image searching revealed that the tongue is really split and belongs to a guy named Zak Zito, who is a professional body piercer from Maryland. The image comes from a Spanish-language (at least, I assume it's Spanish) magazine named Piel, and can be seen here (http://www.pielmag.com/index.php?sec=3&cat=85&subcat=957&page=1) along with many other pics of split tongues. And yes, the zipper has been photoshopped in, though I haven't been able to find out by whom.
On further thought, I'm not sure whether that's Zak's tongue, or if he did the splitting. He has a stud under his lip and no little diamonds, so I suspect the latter.
