'Why I Was Pierced: Nipples and Clitoral Hood'

Intaglio and Serigraphy
The text in the print says:
As these were done at the same time, it would be difficult to separate. I had
been thinking about some serious personal issues at the time. I needed somthing
to get beyond that turmoil. The pain of the piercings provided me with a type of
release; it helped me keep some sanity. The rings and barbell now serve as physical
markers of the experience. That was why I didn't remove them after.
The barbells were done recently and serve as a momento of my own acceptance of myself. It makes more sense to me
to incorporate such things in my body, through piercing, rather than keeping separate
personal items, as other people do to acknowledge and commemorate major events in their lives.
