And Lizziey is gonna kill me over this one too...
She pierced Seth's ear. The left ear. And when I saw it, the first thing I said was "isn't that the gay side?" This is NOT to say "how could you get him a gay piercing" or anything, I was just showing off my knowledge. This starts off a huge debate, where she swears the right side is the "gay side" and other people say it's the left. There's no consensus.
So, a completely informal poll, so informal that it's not even a real poll:
Which side used to be used to indicate homosexuality? The left or the right? Or don't you know/care?

I, for one, scar easily; people like me might not want permanent marks on their ears if they decide they don't want them pierced.
But maybe if my parents had let me get my ears pierced earlier in my life, I wouldn't have such an affinity for it now. I'm not full of metal or anything, but let's just say my parents don't approve of me. ;)
Wow, what a touchy subject overall.

I'm not a piercer. I'm a tattoo-er. Luckily, mum is going to spring me the cash if I get a tasteful tattoo. Right now when I describe it she goes all dreamy eyed and says "wish I'd go get a tattoo..." funny folk, my family.
