Okay, sorry it took me so long to reply back to your comment. As far as not wanting to jeopardize your future career, believe me I fully understand that. I am going to have no problem removing my facial jewelery when I become a professor. If you're not going to be in your career for awhile then why worry about it? I mean, I've never heard of someone getting denied a job because they had scars on their face. Then again, most people have an aversion to having scars on their face, although it's something that I personally have come to terms with.

If you can get away with it now, then screw it, you'll probably spend the rest of your life looking "professional", so enjoy your freedom while you can, I know I am.

I don't think a lot of people use their body modifications as the only defining factor of who they are. I mean, while I do mine for aesthetic reasons, they definitely help showcase who I am. They show that I'm not afraid to be myself, that I'm creative, and perhaps a little naughty :) There is of course much more to me than that, but would it be so apparent without my mods? probably not.

I don't have an IAM, but I can be a vain bastard at times, and have recently posted pictures of myself on my elljay. I'll check to make sure it's a public post. Unfortunately they're taken from the side, but that's the more flattering angle, given my weak chin so I went with those.
