"Don't Be Such a Whiner...Just Do It Already"

I KNOW there are a lot of people out there who think people who don't get piercings, are babies, whiners or other, say, expletives. Why DON'T people who have no piercings, get them done? Well, there are a number of reasons, so let's look at some logical reasons before we start labelling people derogatory terms, mmmk?

1) Pain
Let's start with a fairly obvious one. Yes, some people (like me) have a VERY low tolerance for pain (it's AMAZING I had children). For some, it's far better to just avoid it altogether, than to subject an employee, whose only doing his/her job, to screams of pain.

2) Allergies
There are people out there who have sever metal allergies. Getting piercings can heighten those allergies, so why waste a lot of money on getting a piercing only to have it grow over because you are in constant pain (pain again) due to metal allergies? There are a lot of people in my family who have allergies to some of the metals in earrings. I wish to avoid having red, throbbing, puss-filled ears just to look pretty. Just one of the reasons I won't get piercings (atm).

3) Age
Most people have never had piercings. Perhaps they grew up in a time when piercings weren't so common, and clips and screw posts were the norm in ear jewellery. Because of their age, the previous points come into play: 1) they can't tolerate the pain at their age and 2) their skin can be overly sensitive and can develop allergies that can cause further health problems.

4) Medical Reasons
Some people have diseases where open wounds MUST be observed meticulously for infection. Getting a piercing would be a no-no for these types of people.

So.....what are these types of people to do??? Are they just supposed to suck it up, stop being a baby, risk their health and get it done? The flat out point is...if someone doesn't have a piercing, and wants to wear piercing-like jewellery, they DO have options, and I AM trying to help them. Yeah, ok, so I'm the type that can't tolerate pain and fear infection, that's the reason I make non-pierced items, but my goal here is to show off designs, and either sell them (perhaps at some point) OR...show people how they can make their own for considerably cheaper, and know that the only solution out there is NOT only piercings.

Before labelling people babies, whiners, whatever for not getting piercings...perhaps be sensitive enough to consider other possibilities, particularly health reasons for why they choose to wear non-piercing items.
