Now I feel better. A Google search on 'piercing' and 'care' turned up a bunch of sites (like this, and this, and this) that all basically said the same thing, and it's just what I'm doing. I feel a wee bit de-sensitized to this undertaking, too. I haven't said anything to anyone at work about the weekend's activities, but I feel the need to talk about it. I sent email to a former employee now in motorcycle mechanic school in Arizona to get it out of my system. Somewhat.
