Not Your Typical Birthday Present

We celebrated the Urban Shaman's (US) 30th birthday today by going to Nomad, the awesome piercing studio here in Portland.

US got an apadravya piercing! If you don't know what it is, google images of it, but be warned, you will see some X-rated images :)

It was an intense experience for him. He feels like he's undergone a rite of passage. Pretty fitting since I gave birth to Il Tonino, at home, just months before my 30th birthday. Initiation into the 30's!

That is totally awesome. I'm having a homebirth for my 30th birthday ritual too. :)
