This comic is based off of my experience working at a body jewelry store for a few months (back in the days of retail). I realize that the term "gaugers" has just been accepted into common terminology now but it never ceased to irk me every time a 12 year old with a pencil shoved in their ear came into the store and started blabbing about their plans for "gauging" their ears. I know this is more of a personal shot at those kids and some people may not appreciate my point of view on the subject, but I've always wanted to express my thoughts on the subject so I figured this was as good a way as any.
