My my my... I dont know where I should begin! Alright, here goes. I've loved all mods since I was just a small girl. I'm talking everything from scarification to piercings to tattoos and back again! This all coming from a girl who must be about 7, maybe even 6, at the time! I was born to be a little wierdo :) ! And I figured I wanted a nose ring very early on. At this point I'm scaring the living Shit out of my mother! Hahaha... That's not all though. I also have decided, so far, on: (Top to Bottom) [Left ear] 2 helix's - 2 head helix's - 1 top helix (in the shape of a star/pentagram), 3 average 18g lobes, 1 14g lobe, 1 anti-lobe, [Right ear] 1 top helix, 1 rook, 3 average 18g lobes, 1 14g lobe, 1 anti-lobe, [Face] 1 nostril, 1 vertical antibrow, 1-2 vertical inverse monroe (fang), 1 ashley/vertical inverse labret, 1 14g certre tongue, 2 horn surface piercings, [Body] 2 vertical nipples, 1 average navel, 2 hip surfaces, a 10 surface bar back corset, [Genital] 1 Christina, 1 triangle, 2-8 outer labia. Phew! That's a Lot! Anyways...

Luckily, a couple years down the road, and a few months back, I had completly convinced my mom into my nose ring. You see, my moms cool about these kind of things. Let alone being a facial piercing, it was my first! Haha! Think about it...my very first piercing...right in the middle of my face! I had had my earlobes pierced about a year before hand, but, like an idiot, I went to walgreens for them! Uug! Crooked, ungloved, cracked gun, oh my lord. I've never seen such a sorry excuse for an ear piercer!!

Flash forward from the day I convinced Mom, to about 2 months after that (yeah...the bad thing about her is she's ok about it but lazy...and bitchy! And Picky! Ug). I do some hard research on an afordable place near by. I look at the burlington mall, there piercing place had closed down a while ago. I look in town, but then I figure not to trust a piercing place in *quiver* Woburn, mass! No way. Not even a slight chace of there being a studio in Winchester! Ha! I find a a heap of places in Medford! But which one? I find that one was in the Meadow Glen Mall (Usually you shouldn't trust a mall studio but this is Waaay Different!). This place sounds afordable and cool. You know...down to Earth. So I beg and beg And Beg, until Mother dearest gives in! Haha, Bitch. I drag and pull and force her down to the mall. When I walk in the place couldn't be more *age friendly*! They have a cute, very modified, desk girl (who's aparently married to the piercer! I thought they were uncle and nease. Oops) who welcomed me in as I search there wide selection of body jewelry. I pace for 30-40 minutes until I work up the nerve to blurt out "...nnnNose Riiing!!..." She goes over some things (with the adenaline, it was all in one ear and out the other) and suddenly a Completly Unmoddified latin man comes from the back room. She explains to him my little situation, and he invites me back.

Back in the back room (which is, of coarse, clean clean clean!) he gently (and with a cute accent) asks me to lay on the medical matte and face him. I do so, nearly passing out. He swabs my nose with a funky yellowish goo substance, and a disinfectant. As I see him unwrap my first piercing needle, I actually calm down! Ha! Wierd, I kno. I decide to just breathe. He gloves himself and (this is the good part, lol) shoves a cork up my nose! He marked and placed the needle. He tells me "breathe in, breathe out...breathe iiinn...Exhale, hard!" I fallow my instructions and feel the needle glide threw as quickly as if I were nothing but paper! It was utterly painless, other than the very center of my nose. It was an all around 3.2 / 10. I was fine! Alive, breathing, and before I could even smile he popped the 18g diamond fishtail in. I was so pleased I could barely ask for a mirror! But when I did, the placment was great! Right on the dot! Ha! Fantastic!
The price was pretty good too!

That ride home I glare in the mirror in disbelief.
If there's anyone I would recommend, its Eli! He redid my 1st lobe, did my 2nd, my helix, and is waiting for a few weeks for me to reappear begging for my 3rd lobes, 2nd helix, and navel! Yay! He's sweet, understanding, and down to earth. He is so cool! He also owns a night club! Haha! Well if ur around and want a piercer who'll respect you, and calm you down, and joke with you and your mom, hehe, Eli is your dude! .::Almoda Rox in the Meadow Glen Mall::. Thank you Eli!!! :)
