Last week I went to New York to get a Canada visa. After applied for visa I came back to Boston. When I was waiting the bus in the New York Port Authority Bus Station, I charged my phone in lounge. In the same place there was a teenager (later she declared she is 17 years old) who charged her phone. And there was an American guy in his forties. We began to talk. The teenager told us she is originally from Puerto Rico and her father passed away last year. But she looked pretty happy. Anyway she also mentioned about she loved piercing. And then she showed us her tongue which was pierced. There was a metal like a pin on her tongue. She told she had another one and she showed a piercing on belly. When I asked if she felt pain during the piercing. She said no. Then she showed us a video on her phone about her tongue piercing. As she said, before piercing she was very relaxed. She raised a laugh after someone pierced her tongued as well.Then she showed us her two tattoos which one of them is on her arm and another is on her leg. I told tattoo is very popular in America and almost everyone has tattoo. Then I asked the man if he has any tattoo. He said tattoo is waste of money for him.
I asked myself "Can I have a tattoo or piercing" I said no without hesitation. What about my reason? Money or pain? None of them. For the time being I don't need them.
