This was my first piercing, other than a misguided ear piercing when I was 16(!) that got infected and grew over, so I was a little bit nervous going in (needles and blood and pain, oh my!). But it went beautifully and now I’ve finally got a foreign object embedded in my face and a highly disturbed mother, so all is well.

6 MONTHS LATER:

I’ve got another on the other side! Hurrah.
