Absolutely go to a body piercing place. Piercing guns are a bad idea.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Thanks, I will check out body piercing places near her. I'm sure I can find one that is relatively Mom-appropriate, there seem to be many to choose from.

Many tattoo artists have Moms, and will probably be happy to do something nice for one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Up to and including getting the weirdos out of their store? Because I can think of a number of mothers (sadly) who are so dicey on the subject that would be an issue for them. Including mine own, probably, even though her ears are pierced four times.
The elderly lady that visited us on Christmas day was *outraged* at her niece's nose piercing. My sister is sitting there with a navel piercing--I've had two unsuccessful navel piercing and a successful-but-subsequently removed nipple piercing--and we're both nodding very understandingly. "Could have been even worse," said my sister. "Maybe she was pierced...you know...where you couldn't see..."
And then she waved at my tits, thereby dispelling the labial implications.
But she made sure to come back to that explicitly later.
Elderly lady was also in a translucent top (nice bra, grandmother) and almost-sheer leggings, so you know. She *knows*.

Trust my rage
Thanks, everyone! I hope the baby appreciates the cheers. I realize that he will come *some day*, and i"m glad this isn't my first because I would be dying, but still, I'm ready to not be pregnant.

My brother the doctor has convinced my sister that almost any other kind of (non-genital) piercing is preferable to a nose piercing, from a medical safety perspective. I suspect my niece will have to wait until she's out of college and no longer getting any support from her mother before she gets one.

I'd say that you can't just allegorize into Mordor, but that would be stretching it way too thin.
Okay, I'm watching Revenge in the off season. The ads are killing me, but I'm way too behind to catch up without illegal means and/or the DVD.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had most of my ear piercing at Claire's or their equivalent.
Oh yeah, all of the ones I've gotten were with a gun, but I now understand that to be bad.
I pierced my nose myself with a kit you had to buy, because apparently there was no body piercing place in Harvard Square in those days?

Totally late to the ita and JAR FaceBook party, but not one bit less OMG!!! than if I had been on time. Love!!
I pierced my nose myself
I don't think I'd have had the cojones for that. The doing it myself part. Or maybe at all, but definitely not doing it myself.
ETA: Come on, baby of Stephanie!!
