They’re so uneven but I love the assortment of jewelry so I’ll post anyway. Accuracy and alignment are my primary focus for practice right now! One thing I know about myself, I make quick progress when I put my mind to something 💯

I think it’s about time to retire this silicone ear, I’m just not ready to buy a new one. You can see the progress though.

Low-key… thinking about trying to become a body piercer! I’m kinda out of college right now because I’m not really enjoying medical school anymore. I want to do something with my more artsy and creative side. And it’s needs to be a job that’s not too physically taxing because of my chronic illnesses.

I’m the long run I might have to go on stage disability, but I think even then they let you have a part time job as long as you’re making under $1k a month. But piercings are something I’m really interested in and I think it would be fun to learn about. Plus with my medical background I’d be good in a crisis if someone passed out or something.

Piercing Apprenticeship.

This is the end of the beginning. 

I’ve long sought after an in to the field of body modification, and since my art skills are less than reputable it was safe to say I wasn’t going to become a tattoo artist. To be completely honest, piercings have always appealed to me more anyway but my love of body modification as a whole started with my grandmothers in Africa and their distinctive and ceremonious scarification. When I was around 15 in England, listening to Refused and Cancer Bats, I was introduced to a community that did so much more than simple ear piercings or small tattoos. I would line up at concerts where people were covered head to toe with beautiful intricate tattoos. Where girls my age had more metal in their face then there was metal in bank vault door. 

Although from the outside I may look like a plain girl, I have a deep rooted love for all things Body Mod, from as shy as an ear piercing to as garish and dangerous as suspension. 

Keep your eyes peeled for my Part 1. How, when, and where I got my piercing apprenticeship.
