Meet the Stud in Training
2 years ago
I did it! yahooo!!!
It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would. But I guess thats because I have a high threshold for pain. I stood in the Black Strawberry studio with cold hands and feet; biting on a wad of tissue. It was over in no time. Slight sting, I felt the needle come through my skin. The placing of my “training” stud hurt more than the needle itself. I love it. Love ,love, love, love it.
After I gained weight during my freshman year in college, I’ve been a bit insecure about my body image. I could not wear my favorite clothes anymore.
I developed a funky style to cope. I wore interesting pieces that drew attention to the clothes and not the body. I became known as a madcap of fashion. This did not take away my insecurity though.
I hold true to the fact that beauty is more than just one’s outward appearance, which is why I long to truly love my body. Getting this piercing is one of the first steps.
Of course there are other ways to learn to love your body. This is just what appeals to me. The slight stinging is a physical reminder that I am bold enough to bare who I am to the world. And the world will just have to take me or leave me.
I didn’t need to get pierced. I wanted to.
Oh, and by the way, this is also for John who didn’t want me to do this. John, it feels so good. I’m glad I didn’t listen to you. LOL. I hope you understand, eventually that its my life – not yours.
Gonna do it tomorrow!

My friend Red will take me to Black Strawberry tomorrow, where he’s had all3 of his piercings done. I’m scared to death.In the morning for a week now, everytime I wake up the first thing I do is reach down and pinch the skin on my navel where it will be.
I’m mustering up allthe courage I can.
Its gonna hurt, I know.
Aaaahhhh,but I can’t wait.
