I have wanted piercings since I was young but always thought I wasn't brave enough. Then that morning I thought "Hang on, I always thought I wasn't brave enough to get tattooed (done that) or donate blood (still doing that) or get injections regularly (still doing that too) and I can.So I am obviously a lot braver than I think I am"

I was due to meet H in town anyway and I know there is a fantastic piercing place there so I asked if he minded if we went. He could just about contain his excitement! Haha.

Went, filled out forms, got nervous, got more nervous, smoked enough e-cigarette to act as an advertisement for the product then BAM.

The woman was fab, she really put me at ease and she was very professional and efficient! It was very quick and she gave me great advice!

I've always like the two holes in the ear lobes look. I like the idea of wearing a hoop in the front hole and a sparkly in the back hole. More lately, I've really been into cartilage piercings as well.

Well, after thinking about it for a while, I finally decided to do a little research on piercings. I discovered that it is a bad idea to get a cartilage piercing done with a gun. The needle method is better for the tissue.

After doing some research on that, I found a local tattoo parlor, and (kind of on a whim) called up, got an appointment for 15 minutes after my call, and get pierced! I was super anxious the whole time, and definitely awkward.

The pain was minimal, it went right lobe, left lobe, right cartilage. The cartilage obviously hurt the most.
