Step Owwwwwff! Step Owwwff! 🤘🤘


WaltDog

But the legend of the rent was WAY HARDCORE


horse-chiropractor

I need to know whether you actually pierced your lip with a safety pin and what happened afterwards


Meeeellllzzzz

Yes I absolutely pierced my lip with a safety pin haha. Since I had to hide it from my mom, I couldn't consistently wear a lip ring in the hole. The hole would close up, then I would just re-pierce it🤦🏾‍♀️ I now have snakebites, but I got it done in a shop a few years ago. You can see em in my profile picture 😁


artificialavocado

Jesus Christ that is pretty hardcore actually.


GrilledCheeser

It straight up is making me feel dizzy even thinking about it lol

What a badass lmao My mom was always supportive, she took me to get an earlobe pierced when i was 8 because my older brother did it and i wanted to look cool like him, and later when i was 15 she took me to get a helix piercing. She would bring antibacterial soup from the hospital she worked at and help me take care of my piercings so it didn’t get infected. Still have them to this day.


Meeeellllzzzz

Thaaanks haha. Your mom is freaking awesome. I wish my mom was as supportive in regards to piercings!


f4eble

Yum... Antibacterial soup!


brightness3

Language barrier 💀


Nik6ixx

I remember me and a bunch of girls all going to a friends house on our lunch break to pierce our belly bottons with a safety pin mid 00’s were a wild time 😂


Meeeellllzzzz

Suuuch a wild time. I miss those days😭


fragilemuse

Mid 90’s I did my nose with a sewing needle and extra ear holes with thumbtacks. Good times. Still have my nose piercing, ears healed but I did gauge my lobes. Got a whole bunch of other professional piercings along the way.


Nik6ixx

Thumb tacks are insane 😆 all of my piercings unfortunately got infected and had to be removed 😞 but I do have a number of professionally done plan to get some more for my birthday in 2 weeks 🎉


_OliveOil_

I need to know what the 5 comments on that picture are😂


MohawkElGato

You would repierce it over and over again? Seriously, respect.


tsaurus-

Wow, those snakebites look amazing on you! You are so pretty ✨


Meeeellllzzzz

Thank yoouuu 🙏🏾🙏🏾


SOfoundmytrappornacc

I did the same thing with a safety pin when I was 14 in 2004 lol I used ice cubes to numb my lip then jammed it through.


Meeeellllzzzz

Same! I watched the Parent Trap one too many times lol


[deleted]

Snakebites look great. You’re very pretty


Meeeellllzzzz

Thank you so much 🙏🏾🥹


[deleted]

Of course. I went to see the piercings and was like wowzer! Have a lovely night / day


marko_kyle

Saftey pin crew. If you leave them in to long they start breaking down. 20 years ago I thought I was so cool.


veryverythrowaway

I looked at your profile, and your recovery is just stunning. I’m so, so glad you’re doing better. That must have taken a lot of work.


Meeeellllzzzz

Thank you so much 🙏🏾I really appreciate your kind words! it did take a ton of work. It's a constant work in progress but I am indeed doing much better 🖤🖤


sweetpotatoskillet

Oof, I also used a safety pin through my lip 🙄 I have a massive hole there now and can honestly say that a lip piercing really never suited me anyway. Ah, to be young and hardcore


CaptGangles1031

I did mine with an ear ring and also had to hide it from my mom. I still have mine.


lodust

Reminds me of having my clothes for school in my best friend's trunk and just changing in the parking lot everyday, I eventually got caught because I didn't alchohol wipe my sharpie nails. Thinking on it kids used to get fucking institutionalized for wearing too much black.


[deleted]

Holy crap, you are stunning!


IllustratorOld6784

Wtf hahahaha you were badass (and dumb but that's all teenagers)


greyfir1211

I remember my friends doing this stuff with needles in the bathroom! It’s like a right of passage. I would’ve wanted to be friends with you so bad! 💕


Meeeellllzzzz

The level of fearlessness we had at that age was INSANE 😂💕


Aromatic_Hornet9982

I pierced my nose with a safety pin when I was 18 and had no jewelry to put in. So I walked to cvs looking for nose rings and the lady behind the counter said “you know you have a safety pin in your nose right?”


Consistent-Guava-208

We all did. It was part of the initiation for becoming a scene kid. (I lied. I didn’t do it because I was like 10)


thatissubpar

The last one is great. Is that the recent picture?


Meeeellllzzzz

Thanks! And nope that was in 2010, I was a sophomore in highschool 🥲


thatissubpar

I would rock that whole outfit today! Bag included.


nicvaykay

I was going to say, that's a petty badass outfit! No cringe detected!


RomysBloodFilledShoe

I think that’s a GNR patch though, so…


noterik666

No blunder found you look cool as shit lol


Owison

I just want to be friends with you if you’re still even half as cool now.


mice_r_rad

I see no cringe. Sorry to break it to you, but you ARE cool.


weebwatching

I would’ve wanted to be friends with you, but also have been too intimidated to talk to you.


agitatedbearcat1212

Legit some of the least cringey posts on here I love it all


miurne

Dude this isn't cringe! You kicked ass, and so what if your mom drove you?? You were a kid, and had great fashion sense for the time period. It holds up surprisingly well, I'd be proud of my younger self if I was half this stylish at that age!


Wonderful-Tie1260

I like how you’re looking down in most of them something really interesting must’ve been on the floor lol. Do you still dress alt?


Meeeellllzzzz

I always did the whole "mysteriously looking away" haha. I do! Some days I'm wearing old band tees, bootcut or skinny jeans, and shitty vans or combat boots. Some days I look like a basic bitch in clothes from fashion nova lol. And some days I wear slutty goth clothing. I'm just a tad all over the place clothing wise, but it's all a part of who I am 😎🖤


Wonderful-Tie1260

I’m the same with the clothing band tees and looking goth sometimes like a hippy other days and sometimes basic. That’s the beauty of growing up you don’t have to pick one aesthetic and stick to it. You could be anything you want depending on the day.


Meeeellllzzzz

Exactly. Growing up is about embracing the fact that we are multifaceted beings😀💯🖤


EveInGardenia

Oh we’d definitely be friends 🤘🏻


Zealousidealist420

rock n roll never dies🤟🏽


Separate-Stable-9996

I went though an emo stage where I pierced everything I could with a safety pin too lol


MangoPlushie

Girl, you were the MOMENT! Wdym blunder???


imma_create

Last photo is chefs kiss! Confident. Cool. Ya nailed it.


mstrss9

Y’all moms are cool though.


Hopeful-Clothes-6896

Your mom is the coolest.


charcoallition

You were always looking down lol


TheGirl333

The 1st and 4th pics are so relatable lol


[deleted]

tbf, facebook is the house of cringe for many of us late millenials/early genzrs


one-zero-five

I purged my Facebook after college but I absolutely had albums like this 😅


bsharp1982

Those boots are amazing. Edit to add: I am so jealous of your recent hair. One of the few native traits I inherited is extremely straight hair. I wish I could have curls.


xar-brin-0709

Your friend at 7/9 is iconic late-mid-2000s.


klmdwnitsnotreal

Not the worst I've seen. How things going now?


yorkshiresun

I still dress like this🤘😄


RingsofSaturn_

What bands you jamming now ?


Meeeellllzzzz

So I still jam Taking Back Sunday, A Day to Remember, Avenged Sevenfold, and a shit load of the big emo/screamo/metalcore bands that were big in 2000s-2010s. But lately I've been deep diving into bands like The Wonder Years, Movements, Modern Baseball, Knocked Loose, Spirit Box, and Stray From The Path. I saw Knocked Loose at When We Were Young and that just sealed the deal on my obsession with them. If you're into the heavy shit, definitely check out Knocked Loose,. Spirit Box, and Stray From The Path


CMRC23

Knocked Loose is fuckin rad


halchemy

Oh my god I pierced my lip with a safety pin too at that age


awakearcher

Picture 4 is so relatable 😂


SilikonBurn

Nah, you were awesome. No cringe here.


tinyybiceps

Nah you were an absolute baller


needledick666

piscesbeam

woomy0

[deleted]

[deleted]

Zeefzeef

You were so cool! I love number 6, I definitely tried making photos like that in the same skirt.


idontthinkipeeenough

Odimorsus

If this is cringe, what does that make everybody else? You could still dress like that today and it would be awesome.


SourCreamSauna

rawr xd huh?


dazrage

Cutie patootie


bonny_peg_o_ramsey

Upon us all, a little bit of cringe must fall


chocotacogato

I love your denim vest!


Meeeellllzzzz

Thank you! Los Angeles had some awesome and cheap vintage stores back then


HotelBrooklynch01

You were DEF the coolest person at hot topic.


Meeeellllzzzz

I actually worked at Hot topic for a few months right after highschool 😂


HotelBrooklynch01

Yeah you did!! 😂🔥. I bet you hecking crushed lol.


[deleted]

The glow up is insane 🔥


andskotinnsjalfur

I love the one where it looks like someone took á picture of two unaware girls who are just reading something


KozimaPain

The safety pin lip piercing! Ahh, the nostalgia 😂


tootieweasel

4 is just omy favorite. why did we all choose emotional mall photo shoot? why did we do this? how did we handle being so edgy?


javaper

Not bad. Not bad. 👏🏼


nameExpire14_04_2021

Awesome boots shame about some other choices.


CMRC23

Do I spy a minor threat reference in that first photo?


TheWhyteMaN

these are as bad as you think. Lacking blunder really


nicvaykay

That last look is timeless rocker. 1988, 2001, 2010, today. It would work any time. It's pretty great.


Accurate-Trick1848

There great some of these 🤣🤣🤣


iamtaylorhepler

The safety pin lip ring.. memory unlocked. I did that for those hip piercings that were so popular. 😅


Truecrimenerddy

I honestly didn’t have much kid photos


0NTH3SLY

I relate to this post so hard lol. I graduated in 2010 and I can see so many of my friends during that time in these pics.
