I just find it curious. I would never wear so many rings, so I wonder why another person would wear so many rings. In the world of psychology, I think you can go further than just because someone likes something. Some cultures, people all follow a certain dress pattern. I can't think of a single instance of seeing someone with bulky rings on all their fingers, so I have never encountered it before. I saw one woman with her whole back tattooed and I wondered why she did that. We were in a taekwondo class together. But it kind of fit her personality, to be on the wild side. I think maybe some punk rock people get lots of tattoos.
