I'm doing 43 things
(yes that is me above, but you may have to look closely for the stud)
totally worth doing for those that appreciate a little pain and have a passion for body jewelery. i love piercings! its more getting them done and feeling that cold piece of metal ripping through a piece of my flesh, than being adorned in metal. go figure.
i only had a few annoyances with my lip ring: 1. i have a pretty over-sized bottom lip (at least in comparison with my upper), so the swelling was a bit rediculous. but it did leave a pretty badass bruise for few days, so that was nice. 2. i have an oral fixation. i love having things in my mouth. but oddly enough i wasnt a thumb-sucker as a child. but i always chew on pen caps, put things in my mouth, etc. so having a flat ended stud on the inside of my lip caused for hours of “playing”. i found a way to turn mine completely in circles, which im told looked odd. shrug. ‘twas fun. 3. my dad hated it. flat out. even though i was nineteen when i did this, he still gave me crap for it.
so the lip ring is gone, perhaps to return someday. only time will tell.
much love to all the hole-punchers out there! happy piercing! m.
