As you can see from <a href=\"http:\/\/addiction-nyc.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">the photo on Addiction NYC&#8217;s website<\/a>, bongs are in the front of the store; tattoos and piercings are in the back.<\/p>\n<p>I probably got my ears pierced for the first time when I was around 13. I know it was in a mall. At the time, people were very into using <a href=\"http:\/\/tattoo.about.com\/cs\/psafety\/a\/piercing_guns.htm\" target=\"_blank\">a piercing gun instead of a needle<\/a>. It was supposed to be less painful than the needle; it is definitely less accurate. Both my sister and I wound up with piercings that are way too low on our lobes. When I got my left earlobe pierced a second time a couple of years later, that hole also came out too low. I didn&#8217;t do the right earlobe at the time because I was into an asymmetric look, not because of the piercing position problems. <\/p>\n<p>More recently, with all the <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/store\/categories.php?category=Category\/Earrings\/Studs\" target=\"_blank\">emoji stud earrings<\/a> I&#8217;ve created for my line, I started wanting another hole. I put it off a long time because I was scared the piercing would wind up poorly placed once again, but the gal at Addiction did a great job. I also liked that she used a stud made from surgical steel. It&#8217;s not beautiful, but it has very little nickel in it. Gold &#8212; even 18K gold &#8212; can contain nickel, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.simplywhispers.com\/htdocs\/html\/Studies\/complications.html\" target=\"_blank\">which is very irritating and can trigger an allergy or sensitize the wearer to gold<\/a>. In my business, I definitely don&#8217;t want to have a problem with gold!<\/p>\n<p>UPDATED TO ADD: Shout out to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dsmpowered\" target=\"_blank\">the dude on Twitter<\/a> who pointed out that this post needed to include <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Lean_Back\" target=\"_blank\">Terror Squad<\/a>&#8216;s song &#8220;Lean Back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"420\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ajmI1P3r1w4\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-8QySsmwaaM&#038;feature=kp\" target=\"_blank\">I love the remix <\/a>with Fat Joe (who was on the original), Lil John, Eminem and Mase.
