The Piercing Diaries

I mentioned a while ago now that I have been working on something and I'm so happy that I actually get to make and publish this post! A while ago now I signed up to take a course that has set me up and trained me in the art of specialist body piercing! I've always had a passion for body modifications, and I've always wanted to be a part of it. I pondered on the idea of becoming a tattoo artist, because I love how personal the service is and the idea of giving someone something they can be proud of for life - but unfortunately, I'm not a talented drawer. I looked into what's involved in the body piercing industry and fell in love. I took a while to make sure this fascination wasn't just a phase, and is something I can really commit to - almost a year later, it's still what I want to do, so I took the plunge and decided to just go for it!

I thought it would be fun to keep a little diary of what happened each day of my practical - keep in mind that I had been doing a month of theory work prior to this, and actually did another month of theory after my practical, so it wasn't just a quick 5 day wam bam, thanks fam. So yeah, without further ado, check out what I got up to behind the piercing room doors!

Diary || Dan and Phil

I was in the same room as Dan and Phil and it was amazing. 

Like, they weren't behind a computer screen. It was so surreal.

I've been watching Dan and Phil for over 4 years now. I remember a girl showing me them playing 'Would You Rather' in high school and for some reason, I laughed way too hard. From there, I started watching Danisnotonfire, and eventually started watching AmazingPhil. Fast forward a few years later and they are my babies. I'm not one of those girls who claims that they 'saved my life' or anything, but I must admit, I do idolize Dan a little bit. I guess it's just because I feel like we have the same personality. I know I'll never really know him, I'll only know the persona he shows on screen, but that persona is one I identify with so hard - and seeing someone like me being as successful as he is gives me a lot of hope and confidence that maybe things will work out for me too.
