How to get pierced
How I did it: Well I had my ears done with a gun *cringe* at the age of uh... Eight maybe? I wasn't allowed any proper piercings as such, so just to piss off my mum I stretched them both up to 10mm :D After a while, when I was fifteen, I decided, fuck it, I want a piercing. So I asked my dad to come with me, and told him my mum had said it was okay, haha, god I'm sneaky, and I got a nose ring! It was beautiful. I fell in love with it, I still have it today. It makes me look, I dunno, brave :) Following this of course, I got addicted. I stretched both my ears up to 16mm and I'm still going, I got a madonna, lost it when drunk :P and then got angelbites! Uh what else... I got my cartilage pierced with a gun (I never learn) which promptly got infected resulting in a trip to A&E (Getting it out - most painful experience. Of. My. Life.) I also have my hip surface pierced and a dermal anchor in between my collarbones. I'm also in the habit of piercing my ears a lot myself. My best friends boyfriend pierced my nipple and it was the best thing to ever happen to me, I cried when it rejected four months later. And that's as far as I've gotten! Much more to come, because I am ADDICTED.
Lessons & tips: - Always go to a professional piercer who you trust.
- "A cheap piercing ain't good, and a good piercing ain't cheap."
- Trust your judgement. Something doesn't feel so good? Take it out, right away. Only you can tell if something's wrong.
- Go for it and have fun! :)
