My granddaughters have their ears pierced and their belly buttons pierced. My oldest granddaughter also has a nose ring and several tattoos. You would think I was used to seeing people with piercings and tattoos. All of my children have tattoos in various places on their body. When the young HVAC technician came to my house, however, I couldn’t take my eyes off his nose ring. A small chain connected the nose ring to a piercing in his upper lip. He had a tattoo that went from his ear down to his jawline. A part of me wanted to laugh and shake my head, but I didn’t want to insult the HVAC technician. I showed him where the furnace was and headed back upstairs. When my oldest granddaughter came over, I laughed. I told her I didn’t care how many tattoos are piercing she got, I just didn’t want to see one in her lips. She looked at me oddly, and about that time, the basement door opened and the HVAC technician walked in. I didn’t know she knew the HVAC technician until she walked over and gave him a hug. She introduced him to make and said this was the young man she had been dating. Before I thought, I asked her if they ever locked nose rings? They were both laughing when I asked, and she said that she had her lip got pinched by his lip ring once. He now takes out the lip ring before they get too close. It’s hard to believe my mom was upset when I had my ears pierced.
