I’m very happy to post this interview with one of the coolest and smartest pierced people I know! Click the picture to jump through to the interview! Thank you to Alvar for taking the time to chat, and congratulations to him on his achievements and representing modified people so well. (For those of you who don’t remember, click through).

BME: Do you think you have to work harder as a pierced person?

Alvar: No, not at all… you should simply always work hard. Being pierced/modified should neither give nor take any rights from you — you deserve the same treatment, and you are free to look different.
