I actually really love this conversation and I think it is an incredibly important one to have. I personally feel that maintaining the distinction between piercing as a sacred, ritual process and piercing as an industry is a very very important one to make. These are not two processes that can be directly compared, nor, I think, should they. I hope this video will explain why I make this distinction when I talk about these things, especially as an archivist!
