Yesterday,  a very supportive group of friends accompanied my girl on the mission that she had chosen in which to spend her birthday money

Aunt Aline is very supportive

After the required paperwork and identification were procured,

We were handed a card as an introduction to our practitioner

Hi Luis!

We all marched back to Luis's procedure room and met the man himself

We love Luis.

Part body artist, part surfer, part zen master, Luis took his time talking to my girl about permanent decisions, body care, pain management, and trust.

Beth's girl was on hand as needed for extra support

And then it began:

she was washed and prepped

assumed the position

listened to more relaxation and trust encouragment

and finally, pierced

 

where'd that winning smile go?

there it is

She looks unconscious, but I swear she's not. I just like this photo of Luis. Talking while he mops up the blood.

Looks great, baby girl!

Thanks, Luis

We said goodbye, but then another person pictured here decided to hop on the table...
