Back in 2009, I did a corset piercing for Dan Brailey at the Body Art Expo, in Pomona, California. I slapped an H2Ocean sticker on my shirt to keep it pulled down and away from my corset and a promotional partnership was born without even trying.
I walked by the booth and the guys they had working for H2Ocean, asked me to pass out fliers. I did. A few years later, I got a dermal anchor piercing by Sean Dowdell at Club Tattoo in Tempe, Arizona. He put 12 anchors in my chest and I had NO idea I was pregnant…
I bombed his shoot he set up for me, because I was sick, fat and didn’t know why and to make matters worse, by the end of my pregnancy, my dermals had completely rejected and some had even fallen out! I couldn’t get anybody to cut them out, because I was pregnant and only a handful of shops in that area had just STARTED to give dermals.
I kept them in, while I had my son, even having to sign a waver because the uneducated nurses at the hospital didn’t know what they were and caused a scene, trying to say they might not be able to admit me with out my signature. They were afraid that if I needed a c-section, that when they cauterized, the metal would burn my chest. I’m not sure how that all works, but I can’t think I’m the first girl to pop out a child, with an anchor in her somewhere.
So I signed my life away, had my son and quickly after headed to American Made Tattoo (Now closed) and had them cut out by Angela. She did an amazing job, there’s no way to tell I even HAD 12 dermals in the chest, ever, let alone, had them cut out!
And the entire time, I was draining cans of H2Ocean Salt Spray like it was going out of style. I tried everything before. Salt soaks, rubbing alcohol, like you aren’t suppose to, anti-bacterial soap, ew, everything. It was a disgusting mess. H2Ocean was the only thing that kept my chest from getting infected. Sexy, right?
NOW, I use Aquatat on my new ink to keep it right in this crazy desert weather. Especially when I’ve got to go sling dranks with new ink and can’t reapply or fuss with it often.
After I got back into modeling, I had issues with photographers letting me use their photos for H2Ocean, although I’m not sure why somebody would turn down exposure, it’s not up to me to decide, so I had to keep shooting and talking to photographers to find somebody willing to let me share their work! Finally, FINALLY, I was able to get a few photographers on board.
