You might remember over a year ago when I said I was going to get my navel pierced.  You are safe in assuming that it hasn't happened since I posted my intention to do so.

But, and I say this with the wholehearted intention of making it happen, I will be going this weekend to get my navel pierced.

It's the second step for me to get back to my body modification adventure (the first was getting back to the gym).  The more I get back to doing the things I enjoy doing, the more I feel like I've gained some control over my life (something that's been missing lately due to extenuating circumstances which I won't go into here).

Luckily my dear friend Jenny has been wanting to get another ear piercing, so it seems the perfect time for me to get off my ass and go get the next piercing I want.

So off we go.  Unless the world ends between now and next weekend, I should have my navel freshly pierced this time next week.

And now that I've decided to get back to the piercings, I also feel it's time to get back to the third step in my body modification agenda — my tattoos.  So expect some increased discussion in that area in the coming weeks as I try to finalize the next ink experience.

To honor my return to the joys of "decorating" (it's my body, so I can decorate…), I will be taking some pictures of my existing piercings and tattoos and updating the galleries accordingly.
