Piercing

Today was a not-so good day for me. Actually, today was TERRIBLE. On top of everything that happened today, I noticed that the area around my belly ring was becoming redder and was hurting me. I decided to go to Saint Sabrina's, where I initially got my navel pierced in order to have them check it out. A couple of months ago I had gone in to see what navel jewelry they had. I still had the same navel ring on from when my best friend and I had our navel's pierced 6 years ago.

When I went in a couple months ago I had seen a couple of nice rings with which I wanted to replace my current one with. My little sister accompanied me to the tattoo place. This was her first time EVER in a tattoo shop, well she is only 12 years old and I am so the coolest sister ever. She even saw someone getting a tattoo. It makes me wonder whether I am setting a good example. Either way, the employees at Saint Sabrina's were extremely professional and nice. They immediately looked at my concern and I had an opportunity to ask about the rings I had an eye on for some time. They told me that I did not need to replace my current one and that the area around the ring probably was irritated while I was running.

However, I wanted to get my previous ring replaced. And so I did, with the advise of my little "angle from heaven" (as I call her), I picked this blue opal, platinum ring. It ended up costing me way to much, but I am happy with it and I know that I will have it at least another 6 years. The perfect thing to add here is also that I set a wonderful example, my little sister will get her ears re-pierced for the once and for all final time (hopefully final but if not she will pay the second time ;)). We were able to get good advise on their procedure of piercing ears and she was put to ease.

We will be probably going there next week with our mother since I am not her legal guardian and they are strict about this. I had also inquired on how old one has to be in order to get their nose pierced, since she was interested in doing that as well some day. Unfortunately, we will have to wait till she is 16 and we can both do it together on her birthday.
