So...
As a piercer's apprentice you become aware of how much of a person you really see...like breast or penis's or vagina's as well as the norm like ears, lips...and you realize how much of a professional profession it is. I have always been uncomfortable gettin pierced in the past by piercer's who I didn't trust/like...and now I know why.
I am also aware of how much of a stain this kind of profession is on the significant others...Last night I was told through the garpevine that my girl doesn't think she can handle what it is I am about to become...A PROFESSIONAL piercer (I added the PROFESSIONAL part), and it makes me sad. How come she couldn't come to me and tell me? How come she doesn't understand that she is the only one in my life that I want and need and that what I see on a daily basis is just flesh getting a needle jammed through it?
There really isn't anything romantic about knowing what viruse, bacteria, fungi...etc (yes I mean all of it, from the flu to AIDS) can be on the sterile surfaces or about how many ppl can't keep themselves clean...ear wax, bad breath, plague, funk from ANY part of the body really makes you think twice bout how you have looked/smelled like in the past when gettin pierced...There is also nothing and I mean NOTHING (at least for me and my piercer) romantic about causing that kind of pain on a person; even if they did ask for it. I'm at a loss...I have wanted to be a piercer for over two years and now that I have the chance I feel like I could be losing something just as great...my girl.
