My Personal Fuck You

Last night, I got my nose pierced on St. Marks. It's basically the number one place in New York City to get pierced or tattooed no questions asked. The only problem with that is the legitimacy of the tattoo artist or person piercing you. I don't worry about that much because I rarely have bad reactions to anything I do to my body. So, I went back to the guy I got my septum pierced at and this time got a hoop for my left nostril.

It’s very amusing to see people’s reaction to my nose ring. I think because it’s a hoop it gets a lot more attention. Facial expressions are the best, but the comments are funny, too. Some are like it suits me and some just refuse to acknowledge it. I call those the nothing-nice-to-says and I don’t judge them because my mother also always told me that if I have nothing nice to say then say nothing.

I don't care either way so I decided to call this piercing "my personal fuck you." To who you might ask? To everyone. To quote a lovely young woman named Zoe Kravitz, "My style is I don't give a fuck."
