I just wanted to let you know that I got snakebites recently because for years I have been in awe of how beautiful yours look and I am so happy to say they also look and FEEL beautiful on me too. I know piercings are not like the core of your content but I appreciate the way you model beauty and self-respect, thank you for enabling me to see myself thru the same lens 💗

Oh gosh, I’m so happy for you! This is touching to read. I hope you enjoy them for many years to come.
