               Kelsey Perillo, a student at Anne Arundel Community College, is going under the needle for her next body modification. Perillo having many different piercing is planning to get the symbols of legendary rock band Led Zeppelin tattooed on her upper back.  To complete this task, long hours, great expenses, and sometimes nauseating pain she will have to undertake. 

               Born in Annapolis and now living in Pasadena, Perillo is surrounded by nature and she has plenty of land and water to enjoy her favorite activities. “I enjoy chilling out with my friends, smoking, and the darker sides of life and art,” said Perillo, but her favorite activity is to relax with her boyfriend on his pier.
 
            Perillo being only 18 is starting her first year at Anne Arundel Community College and is looking to see what can pop her interest as her major. Having some ideas of being an actress, she is taking acting classes at the college to further her education and to give her a nudge on the path she may take in life. And with help of her soon to be tattoo her peers will see her courage and outgoing personality.

           Going under the needle can lead to huge expenses and tattoos can range from fifty to hundreds of dollars depending on size, difficulty, the artist, and the shop. A tattoo can be a symbol that illuminates that person’s beliefs, give memory of a lost loved one, or shows that person’s strength as a fan for a certain band.  Whether if she is watching her favorite television series “Breaking Bad”, listening to the band Pink Floyd, undergoing a painful tattoo is huge step she can take in body modification.
