piercings

[AchtungBaby80]

I really want to get a new piercing, but I don't know where to get it! I'm sort of limited due to the fact that I'll start my student teaching in January. I've already got my belly button and my ears (one hole in each) done...maybe I'll just add some more holes to my ears. I don't know.

I finally took my navel bar out becuase it was starting to get in the way of my growing baby belly.

I doubt I'll get it redone because I probably won't ever have the body again to show it off and I think I'm getting a little old for it. I think being the mom with the cool tattoos will have to suffice.

I have "unique" ear piercings... I have my rook and tragus pierced - no one has ever said a thing to me.. plus, mine are barely visible.

I did student teaching and now a full-time position with my tongue peirced.. and there are tons of teachers I see with their noses pierced.

As long as the ring or stud is modest I don't think it is a huge deal.

Really? That's encouraging...maybe I'll be able to get something pierced after all. I was thinking if nothing else, maybe some "unique" ear piercings, like you said.

I was just sort of wary because a bunch of my friends have had trouble with this in the past. Granted, none of them are teachers, but they work in restaurants, for crying out loud. One of my friends just let his ear piercings grow back in because Applebee's wouldn't let him keep them in while he was at work, and when my boyfriend bartended at this Italian place they wouldn't let him wear his tongue ring. So I thought it best to err on the safe side...
