At A Glance Author NICK Contact disinterested2k@hotmail.com Artist Aaron Studio Tribal ways Location Boston, Mass

Hi everyone out there! My name is nick! last night i got my ear cartilage pierced! But that's not how I wanna start my story.

Last summer, i was looking on bme (which i had found awhile before) and i saw the tongue piercings which was love at first sight. i asked my parets and of course, like all concervitive parents say they said "NO!" the also said that if i realy wanted one i would have to wait 'till i'm 18! so i was pretty pissed but i went back to bme to find sumpin' else. I came up with thousands of piercing and all of them we "no's" so i went to school and saw this girl with her ear cartilage piered and thats how my piercing obsession began.

I asked my parents and they talked about it. when they came down they said that if i realy wanted it i could get it done for my 13th b-day. so on november 26th i was phyced! but then dad changed his mind and said "next summer" i was so pissed! one nite we were eartine at the mall and i wanted to go to hot topic and my mom and dad wanted to come too (now i knew sumpin was up! cuz everytime i wanna go to hot topic, mom nearly throws up) so they came and while i was looking at purple hair dye mom and dad were talking to the person working there.

on the way out i saw kara who worked there (ok, this is going on too long lets finish this) mom and dad talked and i got my earpierced with a gun, i tried to change it a week later and it closed up.

-------------------------------part 2---------------------------------

well i had wanted my ear re-pierced for a while and my mom had called tribal ways (a piercing studio)for info but we realy didn't do anything untill a few days ago. mom had called them from work and made an appointment for 4:30pm. as soon as the bus pulled up yesterday, dad threw me a rootbeer, a platic bad w/ cookies and my swim bag and told me to get in the car. we drove to boston to meet my mom. all the way there i was trying to picture what it was going to be like which probably wasn't such a good idea because i got realy nervouse cuz i HATE needels!(spelling?)

we met mom in CH parking lot and i hopped out and got in moms car. we drove down newbury street and turned the corner. mom was realy worried we wouldn't get a parking space but we found cheap vallae parking. TW was hard to find but we found it after a while on the second floor of an apartment building. we went it and i sat down on the couch cuz i felt like i had no legs i was so nervous.

we signed the forms and then (i forget her name)went over the aftercare with me, my mom, and a women who was getting her lip pierced. after that we went into the piercing room with meg who was my aaron's piercing asstant. my nose stung because of how clean the room was. i sat down in a red chair and meg went over to the sink and washed her hands. she cleaned my ear with soap and alcohol and made a dot where he was going to stick the needle through.

then aaron came in. he told me EXACTLY what he was doing. he put a cork on one side of my ear and the needle on the other. he told me to breath in, and breath out. when i breathed out, he shoved the nnedle through. as i came through the front i felt a "pop!" and he said "good job!" he put the ring in and i was on my way!

I'm so happy with! i like it a lot better that the gun even though it hurt a little more with the needle but i read that someone had their cart. cracked with a gun so thtas why i did it with a needle this time.

anyone feel free to e-amil me, i LOVE emails, esspecially about piercings. just cuz i only have my ear done, doesn't mean i dont know anything about anything else so ANY piercing questions, e-mail me cuz i'll probably know the answer. i would say that if you have the chance to pierce your ear, DO IT couz u might not get another chance.

love to all!
