How I started in the world of piercing.
From a young age, I’ve always been fascinated by piercings. I remember admiring the girls at school who wore them, how they complemented their style and expressed their personalities through them. Although they weren’t very common in my small Welsh town of Caernarfon, the idea of getting one had been on my mind for years.
As I approached adulthood, my desire to take the plunge intensified. One day, while strolling through the streets of Caernarfon, I stumbled upon a small piercing studio called Jules Tattoos Studio. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to step inside. As I crossed the threshold, I was enveloped in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The walls were adorned with rock band posters, piercing photographs, and a display case filled with jewellery in various styles.
Behind the counter, I was greeted by a young woman with a friendly smile and piercings on her nose and lip. She introduced herself as Danielle, and upon telling her about my interest in getting a piercing, she guided me patiently and professionally through the process.
Danielle explained the different types of piercings, the materials used, and the aftercare I would need. In her hands, I felt comfortable and safe, and I finally made my decision: I would get an ear piercing, a small silver hoop in my earlobe.
The process was quick and painless. I barely felt a pinch when Danielle inserted the needle and placed the hoop. The feeling of relief and satisfaction was immediate. I looked in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile. The piercing added a special touch to my face, a symbol of my individuality and my decision to express myself through my body.
Leaving the studio, I felt radiant. I walked through the streets of Caernarfon with my head held high, feeling a newfound confidence in myself. The piercing was more than just a piece of jewellery; it was a reminder of my courage, my independence, and my freedom to be who I truly was.
From that day on, I became a piercing enthusiast. I got a few more in different parts of my body, each with a special meaning to me. Each piercing was a new adventure, a new way to explore my identity and express myself to the world.
My first piercing at Jules Tattoos Studio, Caernarfon, marked a turning point in my life. It taught me to accept my body and express myself without fear of others’ opinions. It gave me the confidence to be authentic and embrace my individuality. And most importantly, it opened up a world of possibilities and self-discovery.
