Another earring and a nose ring. No, not for me! I am at my work handbook-approved maximum. And I am a chicken.

My daughters are brave. Also, Abby kept her room clean for thirty days and was allowed to have her nose pierced as agreed.

Amanda...doesn't tend to absentmindedly throw papers over her shoulder. Much to Abby's dismay, Amanda got day one approval on her requested earring.

When Abby finished her clean room chart (YES they work even better for teenagers than little kids!) and Amanda had summoned all the courage she required, we headed to Authentic Ink Tattoo and Body Piercing with ID's and birth certificates.

The front desk person was very kind. She made Amanda less nervous.

Colin Nichols gave the girls the new holes in their heads. He could see Amanda was getting nervous again after Abby had her nose pierced and had Amanda in the chair and her ear pierced before she could really panic. Thank you Colin!

The little loop in the top of Amanda's ear is the new one.

A trick I learned with recent dental work - if you have a Tsum in your pocket, things are less scary.

They are some days out and very happy with their decisions!

Thank you Authentic Ink team. I know kids are not your normal client demographic, and you were super patient and kind to them. They love their new piercings!
