A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    His jewelry fits him. It’s fine to not want the flares pressing into the surface of your nose. And his plugs look like glass or acrylic which can casue a sort of lense-like optical illusion to make it look shallow but there’s clearly space available on it so his lobe fits.

    Yep, definitely a dump. You can easily see that he’s in the bathroom (ie. Toilet paper roll in the background)

    Unfortunately folks, the plugs are acrylic. But hey, they’re cheap, fit perfectly fine and I love ‘em.
