What a brave soul you are!!! Some people hide behind stuff, sounds like you don't, I admire that.
So, does your piercing, if it's where I think it is, make a difference? YIKES! I don't know if I really wanna know, and maybe that is for another forum...
My daughter has pierced herself a couple of times -- belly, eyebrow and bottom lip. The only one she kept was her lip. She has a tat too, a cool lightening bolt on base of spine, about one inch thick and six inches long, another BRAVE soul, ouch.
P.S. Thanks for your "too much information". And NO, it isn't.
RejoiceinYOU!
