I liked the idea of a long piece of metal being stabbed through my nose. Travis has been pierced ten times since his move to Boulder, ranging from his earlobes to regions going farther south. It is hard to walk around Boulder and not see someone with a piece of jewelry attached his or her body in some way. I think that it is just a trend.
People just seem to want to get it done.
Beth Larson, a freshman pre-health major says, I would never get anything pierced besides my ears, I am too afraid of the regret I might have farther down the road. There is no organization in the government that regulates any of the shops. The fact of the matter is that there is no actual laws to regulate the industry. Chinnock has been in the business of piercing for seven years and SAYS HE is proud that his shop remains clean and safe. He is currently working with local organizations in Greeley, CO to help get rid of shops that do not follow the guidelines.
