Body Revolution

I was in that place again, that place I get to where I want to take a risk and do something fun and new and exciting.  Though I've been meaning to get my tattoo touched up, I decided instead to do something I haven't been able to do until now because of work.

I finally got my nose pierced.

I've been wanting to do it for awhile, but as an actor, if you make a change to your visible appearance, you have to be sure you can cover it, remove it, or otherwise make it invisible to be able to fit any role that doesn't call for that sort of thing.  Right now, without a project coming up right away, I have the six weeks it takes for this piercing to heal, so that for the next thing I do, I can change out my first stud for a nude colored one, or even leave it out during a show.

So, with the intent only to price the place and check them out, a couple of weeks ago I headed over to Body Revolution in Brunswick.  By the time I left, I had a pretty new stud.  I've named him Julio.

The staff was informative and friendly, and the guy who did my piercing was approachable with questions and such.  He was quick and steady handed with the piercing (it of course wasn't painless, but I'm sure it would have been worse had he even SEEMED awkward or inexperienced), and he complimented me on the way I handled it, which did not include changing my mind at the last minute, crying like a baby, screaming or running from the room in terror.  He was thorough with his instructions for care, and not pushy when I didn't purchase the $12 "care kit" they offered at the store (it's a ripoff, kids, just buy some Q-Tips, some antibacterial Dial for cleaning for $1.99, and a bottle of hydrogen peroxide for a buck).

All in all, it was a great experience, and I love this new piercing - I'd recommend these guys to anyone.
