Pretty Painless Piercing :: essays research papers

On March 26, 2004, I rushed out the doors of my high school and went to pick up my takeoff booster Tommy from his high school. He climbed in the car and off we went to New Image Tattoo and Piercing. I was so nervous on the way there entirely super excited because I was going to get my first be piercing.I was scared and nervous because I only had my ears penetrate. My mom got them do when I was six months old, so I dont remember if it hurt or not. Plus, my parents didnt know that I was going to get a piercing, so not knowing their reaction was a big concern. As much as I was scared about the outcome, the adrenaline was still pumping through my body like beats in a club playing hip hop.As I pulled into the parking lot, I started having second thoughts. Ive never done anything like this before and I thought if my parents found out that theyd make me take out my piercing. As I walked through the doors and into the waiting celestial sphere I was greeted by Bart, one of the owners. We talked for a little while and I had to fill out papers as well as pick a navel ring. My choices were barbells or hoops. They recommended a hoop for easier reasonablying and a little faster healing time. Since I was going to the beach for senior week in three months, and the hoops were cuter, I choose the hoop. It was a silver hoop with a red ball. I requested Kurt, the same guy who did my friends piercing. I hear a lot of good recommendations, so thats who I wanted. He took me into the room and explained everything as he was opening the packages to everything he was going to use. He explained how to clean my new piercing, as well as healing time. He had me stand up so he could mark me so the piercing would be hearty and then had me sit back down. He reclined the chair and I peaked my head up so I could watch as he pierced my belly button but I got yelled at. He explained that the piercing could become off center because I was using stomach muscles to pull myself up to watch. So I put my head back down and he used a breathing technique with me.
