So the adventures continue! This time with a hole being put into my right nostril. We went to Saint Sabrina's in Uptown. CLICK HERE for their website. I highly recommend them!
My roommate, Emily, and I decided to both check this off of our respective lists together. We decided that after 2nd service on Sunday was a good time, and proceeded to spend far too long eating lunch with friends which meant that we had to postpone our piercings until today. So we had lots of time to get extra nervous. Awesome.
When I got there, I was, of course, very early. Sat in my car reading, feeling a bit nervous. Walked in, tried to act cool, but inside I was freaking out. I'm really good at pretending I'm not freaking out when I actually am.
Then we got to pick out jewelry and meet our piercer. He was really nice, laid-back, helped us to feel way less nervous. In the end, I got what I wanted. A piece of shiny jewelry on my nose. When I say this in so many alternative ways it makes it sound so much cooler. I meant c'mon....hole in my right nostril > nose piercing.
Each time I have one of these adventures, I am challenging myself in some way. Most of the time, it's about being confident regardless of where I am, and especially in the unknown or unfamiliar. Which is really hard. Especially when I know that I don't really "fit" in a certain place (like this piercing/tattoo place...). It's worth the uneasiness every time.
Now I just need to remember not to play with it for a while...
