My object is my nipple piercings. In a period of my life where my body didn’t feel quite like it was mine anymore, and I hated the way I looked, getting these piercings helped me more than I expected (I just thought they’d look cool). I started to hold myself with more confidence and I felt masc in a way I’d always wanted to. Actually.. every piercing I’ve got has felt a bit like a way to connect with my more masculine side and been rooted in my queer identity. Even now my nipple piercings are out (R.I.P.), I still carry the confidence and love for myself and my body that they helped cultivate. :)
