If he's skilled enough to pierce someone's johnson...

... he's skilled enough to pierce my baby's ears.


We spent our afternoon at the tattoo parlor. What did you do?







Here's the baby signing the consent form. I had to bring her birth certificate and ID for both of us.






This is Rob, the Master Piercer. We had to wait a while for him because he was picking up his son from boy scouts when we got there. For such a scary looking guy, he was so gentle and sweet with the kiddo. The reasons I wanted to take my only child to a guy like this as opposed to a sixteen year old with a piercing gun at the mall should be obvious.

She was so brave. Rob was impressed.









All done! One of the things I love best is that she doesn't have "starter studs", she has the same wires that would go into a body piercing. Rob told us we could come back if we wanted to change the bead that's on there now.




Kiddo got to choose what she wanted for her AMAZING report card and she asked to have her ears pierced. She is overjoyed with the results.

Big thanks to Route 9 Tattoo and Body Piercing who allowed us to photograph.

No thanks to blogger for the crap formatting of the photos
