Pierced Lady

I was very brave yesterday and asked this lady if she would mind me taking her photograph. She looked quite intimidating, but was actually really lovely, and quite shy. I think she probably hides behind her appearance. I found out it was her birthday too. Her eyes are an incredible blue due to coloured contacts

Well done for asking. This is a great photo.

[Annie D]

Great photo...what an incredible number of piercings

[Mrs. Laloggie]

I hope you have her info to send her a copy of this photo because shocking as it is to see someone with so many piercings, you've really captured her openness and sweetness behind those piercings.

Oh wow! I’m impressed that you asked - I’m always nervous of asking. What an awesome portrait. She was obviously comfortable with you.

[Margo]

You were brave Great capture

[Gosia]

I can stop myself feeling sorry for people like this lady...Maybe I am wrong...

[Ingrid]

Awesome photo and well done for asking!

[Bobby D]

Good for you Carole G. Being a very shy person myself, approaching a stranger for a photo, is extremely intimidating. Heck, I sometime struggle approaching people that I know. I do like the back story that you provided, Well done.

Oh my ...my sister is a teacher at uni and she says the same ; the ones most adorned with piercings are the gentlest students ....

[Yoland]

Wow, crazy amount of piercings. Great portrait

[Milanie]

I believe her numbers top any I have seen So glad you got to talk to her and we weren't left with the wrong impressions that I just to. Sweet of her to have her picture taken

[PhylM-S]

Agreed - she looks very intimidating in the photo until you see the smile. Wonderful human study shot - not surprising that she would be the opposite of the outward appearance that she created.

[Alison Tomlin]

Great character portrait. I think she looks sweet. But I'm from the old punk days and most of the lovely people I know used to be punks.

[George]

Amazing. It just shows how we shouldn’t judge people by looks.
It was brave of you to ask - I never dare.

[Lesley Chisholm]

Wow!! Sometimes it pays off to be brave.

[Jay Butterfield]

Such a happy smile. Good for you to ask and talk with her.

[Krista Marson]

That's...a lot. Great portrait and story to match.
