Then:
It was 1992. I had just returned to the States from 2 years in Japan. Body piercing was just getting popular but there were no dedicated body piercing parlors around (in central VA, that is). So, i talked the terrified girl at Piercing Pagoda to just go for it with her piercing gun. I don't recommend this method, really, i don't. The swelling immediately afterward was quite noticeable. It was pretty hurty, but not intolerable. I can't remember how long it took to heal. I just remember that by the time my leave (from the USAF) ended and i had to put a clear plastic holder in, it had healed enough that i could easily do that (and i'm thinking i took a month's leave).
Now:
After letting my nose piercing close somewhere around 1994 or '95 (or 96 or 7...damn the senility), and really missing it, i decided to have it redone. So, a few days ago, we went to Club Tattoo in Mesa and Mercedes skillfully repierced my nose. I was scared, but she was awesome! Her personality and the way she handles petrified customers is really top-notch. She has a gift. The pain was nothing...it was over in half a second. I like this method much more than the previous one i used. haha. Allie got her belly button pierced that day, too. Very cute. I highly recommend Mercedes!
