Piercings and Tattoos

Piercings

My first ever piercings were my ear lobes when I was 9-years-old. I wanted them pierced for ages, so - as a 9th birthday present - I got it done.

After that, my next piercings were done 5 years later, when I had my ears pierced for the second time. A lot of my friends had two pairs of earrings or more, and I wanted another pair.

About a year later, my dad paid for my belly-button to be pierced. My friend, Emma, came with me and held my hand. I was really nervous, but there wasn't a lot to be nervous about, really. I saw it with the needle in, and it didn't really shock me.

Soon after that, me and Dad were in town, and I just asked him whether I could get the top of my left ear pierced. He said yes, and we went and did it.

In 2002, I then had my nose pierced. A lot of people had told me that it would really suit me, because I have the face for it.

My final piercing was on November 6th, 2004; one day before my baby brother was born. I got my belly-button pierced for the second time; this time, the lower navel.

In December 2007, I took both of my navel piercings out and now have scars where they used to be.

Tattoos

I only have one tattoo; I got it on April 4th, 2004 (04/04/04!), when I was 18. It's the symbol for my zodiac sign, Leo, on my left groin. It's only very tiny, and I was ripped off by the price, but I like it.

I don't think I'll be getting any more tattoos. Not at the moment, anyway.
