With great Microsoft Paint power comes great responsibility! Also, if you want a piercing just get one!

Girl… where are your organs meant to go? Also, those pants must be blessed with some incredibly strong magic in order to defy gravity by staying up like that.

For what it’s worth, I can appreciate that tactic. Just block anyone who will not look at you with the honor you deserve!

I don’t remember this possibility being taught in my middle school health class.

This is far beyond a tune-up, this is a whole new place! I guess people really want others to think they live in a painting.
