I'm pretty stoked, and don't think this is a mid-life-crisis or a means of coping with a home relocation and divorce.

I'm planning very soon to get hoop earrings in both ears, and to get a stud below my lip since I can't grow a "soul patch". I'm also thinking of getting some more visible arm tattoos besides the one on each upper arm. I'm actually fascinated by sleeves, but with my pain levels and health issues, I don't know if I can actually do it.

I have one pierced ear from when I was 19, but it was in the "wrong" ear (I'm gay). Since then, I worked for a long time in the corporate world, where I couldn't wear it.

I've already found a business in Fort Collins, CO that does both services, and found artists for both desired activities where their prior work vibed with me.

Very excited!

The ever-so-young #nurse sticking #needles in me for #blood yesterday was a baby #goth. Dyed black hair, #black #scrubs, big black #glasses, lots of empty #piercings holes in her face. Cute, and kind, and distressed about me being a hard stick.

"I don't want to hurt you!" she wailed as she poked around for my vein the third time.

"It's all right. You know, some people do this for fun," I said soothingly.

Her, instantly, making it clear that she did indeed know: "Yes, but I'm not one of them!"
