What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Fight mom on letting you have your ears pierced at the mall. Her ancient doctor is going to make yours uneven. Also, one hole in each ear is plenty! (You’re going to regret those extra piercings.) You were right to avoid tattoos.

Funny, I don’t remember pain (he may have numbed my earlobes), just that he dropped one of the earrings mid-procedure and the final result was uneven. The girl
at the mall with the nail gun would’ve done a better, faster job I’m sure!

The words “nail gun” made me shiver…. The ancient doctors need to sit on the sidelines
