How I did it: I spontaneously suggested yesterday (November 21st) to my roommate that we should go out and get pierced. We researched the piercings that we wanted for the afternoon and in the evening when we had decided we drove to the studio where we were getting it done. Unfortunately they were closed till the next day. Went back the next day, filled out the paperwork and waited our turns and within the next 5 minutes both had metal sticking out of our faces. I pierced my right eyebrow, and my roommate got what's called the "Marilyn" which is above the right lip. I'm absolutely thrilled with how mine came out, and it didn't hurt a bit.

I am saying that it took me 15 months because the last piercing I got was on my 18th birthday. However, it really only took me a day to decide and then get this particular piercing done.

Lessons & tips: Spontaneity can be great but make sure you know what you're getting into first.

Resources: Nuclear Crayon in Springfield, MA and of course all the people who documented their piercing experiences on YouTube, haha.
