So for the past week I’ve been thinking about getting my nose pierced.  Not a ring or a barbell or anything gross – just a very tiny little diamond stud through the side.  Why?  I have no idea.  I’m a very conservative, middle-aged mother.  What on earth would I want with a nose stud?!  And yet I want one.  I think it’s kinda pretty.  I think it’s kinda intriguing.  My husband thinks I’m having a middle life crisis.  Perhaps.  But really – what’s the harm?  If I don’t like it – I simply remove it and it grows over.   If I grow tired of it in a few years – I just remove it.

I’ve also wanted to get a tattoo for awhile now, but there are three things stopping me:

#1 – I can’t decide what image to get

#2 – I can’t decide where on my body to get it

#3 – what if I don’t like the way it turns out (I’m a bit of a perfectionist), or how it looks on my  skin when I’m much older?

So I think a little nose stud it will be.  But how long will it take me to get up the nerve . . .
