Y0UR MY ADDiCTiON



Everybody has an addiction whether its a postive or negative one. Some people I know are addicted to drinking, smoking, caffeine, and many other things but to a lot of people's surprise mine is neither one. What is my addiction you ask? My addiction is piercings. Its very odd to some and I always get, "Why would you do that to your body?" or my favorite, "When you turn 50 your going to regret it!" Yes I do understand that my body is very precious and yes my body may get wrinkled and you won't even be able to see my piercings by then but I enjoy them with a passion. How an artist may look at Picasso's painting is how I look at a new piercing. Its just like a work of art to me just on my body. Just like a painter, it takes great skill and craft to come out with a master piece and a piercing artist must do the same. Not everybody is fit to do a job like that. It takes a delicate and smart person because it is not something you can erase or start over like a painting. To me, I love the feeling of being a trend setter and being unique. You get to be your own and a lot of people start admiring you for that. I have 15 piercings all together, five each on my ear, two of each sides of my hips, tongue, belly button, and neck. I recently just got my hips and neck done over the Christmas break and a lot of comments were negative but that did not stop me. After people saw them they all thoight it was cute and now some people actually want them! The pain is a lot to bare with but I am very tolerant now and it does not affect me at all now. I think Im even starting to like it because its not stopping me from geeting more. My next big move is microdemeral piercing and its very unique because its not like any other piercing I've seen before. Its basically an implant into the skin where a screw is placed right under the skin and colorful gem is the only thing sticking out above the skin. The picture at the top is what it looks like. The only way to get it removed is by surgery so its pretty straight forward when doing it. I would like to place one in my lower back with a pink or blue gem. I am so excitied to get it and I hope it comes out nice. In all I want a total of 21 piercing done at least by mt 21st birthday. I hope I can accomplish this goal.

  2. Ouch! I'm determined to learn new stuff every day and today, Miss Mitchell, you taught me about microdermal piercings. I had never heard of such a thing! Make sure you stick with bright, florescent colors like this - white text works best against your background - and try to fix the dark blue text for the gorilla entry below this one; it's very hard to read.
