Tattoos in New Zealand. Botox in your 40s. Breast implants, piercings, fillers—why do we change our bodies? In this episode, we unpack the messy middle ground between self-expression and societal pressure.
We share our own stories (yes, including matching family tattoos) and talk honestly about:
- Why people pursue tattoos, piercings, cosmetic surgery, Botox, and fillers
- The rising trend of cosmetic procedures at younger ages
- How cultural beauty standards fuel body modification
- The tension between external appearance and internal identity
- The importance of knowing your “why” before making changes
We’re not here to judge—we’re here to ask the deeper questions: Are these choices truly about self-acceptance, or about fitting in?
