Sydney Allen's bigsecretwas revealed by her parents after a medical visit. The young woman is 20 years old, and although she is old enough to make her own decisions, she got her piercings behind her parents' backs and never dared to tell them.
The secret she didn't want her parents to know
Her sister gave her two nipple piercings for her birthday and they agreed to keep it a secret from their parents. Sydney's parents are very conservative and she knew that they would not like it if their daughter wore piercings. They are also against tattoos.
Sydney's mother discovered her secret when she accompanied her to a doctor's visit. She had a problem with fluid retention in her spine and the doctor ordered her to take an X-ray. Sydney completely forgot that she was wearing her piercings and did not take them off on the day of the test. Result? The two piercings were perfectly visible on the x-rays.
Her mum had an unexpected reaction
At first, her mother was dismayed when she discovered that her daughter had disobeyed her by looking at her X-rays. However, she was not as angry as Sydney had expected because the perforations were in an invisible place. In the end, her parents had no choice but to accept it.
