Piercings and other things i wish I'd known

[asui]

I've got 2 piercings in each ear. I did them myself a few years ago when my mother refused to take me to get them done professionally. All it took was a sanitized sewing needle, an ice cube, and an apple slice. ^^;;; Needless to say, when I wanted to get my first tattoo, she took me to a professional. She told me it was a guy she knew from work (she's a nurse at a prison) and I was pretty freaked out for about ten minutes because I thought she was taking me to some former inmate she'd taken care of (as it turns out, it's illegal for her to associate with the inmates if she ever sees them outside of work.). But actually, it was her nurse friend's older brother. I was relieved. XD

He did kinda look like an inmate, though. But he was really very nice! ^^ And very cleanly; he made sure to open everything from a sterile package right in front of me, and washed his hands up to the elbows and changed gloves twice. I was definitely glad we found him.
