I Want You to Notice When I’m Not Around


Well hey, here’s a fine young man with a whole lot of gold jewelry! I’m actually not crazy about gold when it’s not being worn as body jewelry, but it’s such a relative rarity in piercings that it’s usually a pleasant surprise.

An additional, tusky shot, after the jump.

    Hah!! The tusks look absolutely epic. I don’t wear gold myself but I’m a fan of anyone who makes the effort to get such a nice set of complimentary pieces.

    This is great. I have been thinking about switching out all my silver jewelry for gold, just for a change. It looks so damn good on him. I can’t wait to do it myself.

    It’s a mistake, but who knows
    Followed you home, crawled in your window
    This life is a trip when you’re psycho in love
    And I know

    Followed your friends, you were not there
    Slashed and I cut, I bled in the sink
    Heard what you said and you’re laughing baby
    Slashed and I cut, and I do it for you
    I want you to notice when I’m not around
    Wherever you are

    You’re solid gold
    I’ll see you in hell
