It seems like those big, eye-catching earrings are the accessory trend for 2023. Totally understandable, considering we spent the last 3 years with masks on our faces, and big earrings were not exactly a comfortable combo. But we’re convinced there’s an equally cool trend on the rise when it comes to our ears — and that’s tattoos. Yeah, it might sound weird, but ear tattoos often sport delicate designs perfect for those looking to add a personal touch without going overboard.

Sometimes the people we meet in life forever impact our futures. That’s the case with Sneha Nadella, a teenage author and activist, who has taken extracurriculars at Plano West High School to a new level in an effort to combat human trafficking.
