Im going to have to get rid of my piercings. Eventhough a lot have been there over a year Im afraid they'll close up if I take them out. Why would I take them out? Ive decided to make the commitment to go back to judo. I am a brown belt. I am on blood thinners so it will be modified but i miss it and Im out of shape big time. Ill gladly give up my piercings for my judo.
