Andrew Cuomo and his alleged nipple rings

This has been all over the place today, which surprises me since it's not like we have slow news days anymore. Personally, if it's true, I say good for him. I'm not sure why politicians are held to a different standard when it comes to trends. I remember Reagan claiming that he didn't dye his hair, because God forbid a politician dyed his hair in 1980.

Seriously though, why do we never see a politician with pink or green hair? We see them everyday out in the streets. Or why not one with an eyebrow or lip ring? It's ok to be yourself and be trendy.

If true, we have an awesome trendy hip and cool Governor. If not true, well we have an awesome governor anyway! Anyway, in case you missed the story, you can judge for yourself.

We got a clown, who dresses in make up, and can't blend his makeup...and looks like a racoon
Talks like a child...for President
and is in the midst of killing thousands and thousands of people with his ineptness..

I guess it's only making the news because it's a first. Gotta talk about firsts no matter what they are. Even non-concealed tattoos are rare on a politician.

Seriously.

Your post is insulting to the Governor of New York. I'm sorry if you can't see that.

In this time of great trouble, you've focused on a rather trivial point that diminishes the Governor's standing. Can you grasp that?

I think if it's true that it is fantastic. I am not in any way attacking him. I love all of the Cuomos. I used to do piercings in the early 2000's, so this sorta hits home.

nothing insulting about it, if he has them it's his choice why would that be insulting.

This was like 2002. I briefly became a piercer for extra cash shortly after. I removed them around 2010.

Had them taken out. His ex was an aspiring piercer.

He still has a tongue one, he he said that was very painful and he couldn't drink out of a straw but now he doesn't even know it's there.

A human’s nipples are at roughly the level of the patch on his shirt. If he’s got four pairs of nipples like a cat does and he pierced one of those pairs, then maybe...

Or, more likely, he’s wearing body armor that has these projections on it.

I hate to say it, but it can happen to men over time too. Happened to my father and sadly it’s happening to me. My chest looked a lot better at 30 than it does at 46. 😢

Edit: you can see in the top picture that that is indeed where the breast glad is.
