When I was 18, I came home with my first piercing, my nose, my mom was shocked because she never thought I would do it, but she liked it. Since then, I’ve gotten 9 more piercings, all visible and within a short amount of time. I went with piercings first, because they’re less permanent and I could see how I felt about them. I got my final piercing last year, and it ended up swelling when i hit it accidentally and I had to go back to the shop and have it removed. I’ll get it again though. I never planned the piercings, they just happened with groups of friends, but I’ve wanted tattoos ever since I could remember. A few months ago, my younger sister came home with one and it was beautiful! I couldn’t believe that she got one before I did. Well this past Saturday, I finally got some guts and I went for it! I love it, and I’m so glad that I got it, but I quickly found out how people will judge you because you have a tattoo. I’m a very quiet and shy person, and I consider myself to be a good person but it seems as though people see whats on your body, and they instantly assume things. Two close friends of mine reacted in a way that I would have never expected, and although they’re older than I am, they’ve done non-conventional things, so it surprised me when they took a moment to react. How do you feel about people with piercings and tattoos? Have you ever considered either one? Do you have them?
