After about a month of begging my parents to let me get a piercing done they finially gave in to letting me get an industrial.
At A Glance Author Stephanie Contact Crazy67405@aol.com Artist Natasha ??? Studio Animous Location Greensburg Pa So I called up the tattoo/piercing shop as soon as I had enough money
and made an appointment. They explained to be how it was going to be done and what they were going to put in my ear so it would heal better. The only down side was is that they needed me to bring ID. Well with my luck I don't have a ID and to top it off I lost my birth certificate. So I had to think about what to bring in for ID, well I came up with a yearbook. I figured well I don't think the school is going to lie about who you are,so that should work. And for my poof of age I took my baptism certificate.
So finially it was the big day. I had to wait for my dad to get home so he could drive me to Animous. He was sapost to get home at 5pm and my appointment was at 6pm so I figured he'd have enough time to go eat dinner and all that good stuff. Well 5 o'clock came around, no dad to be found, then 5:30 came ...still no dad. By this time I was freaking out cause I had been waiting so long to get this done. Finially he got home at 5:45 and I rushed him around to get all his shit done in 15 minutes. We left at 6:00 which really didn't matter cause the place is 3 minutes away.
We pulled up to the place and I can feel my stomache churning. I was nervous and excited all at the same time. So I walked in feeling like an ass with my yearbook. The piercer Natasha was really cool about it and laughed at me.
Then me and her talked about exactly how big and the positioning of the piercing. After all that was done she took me over to the piercing chair told me to sit down, then she put dots on my ear and let me check it out to see if it was exactly how I wanted it. Then she pulled out the jewlery that she was gonna put in and showed me how it worked and that it was bendable.(so it would heal easier er something)
After all of that was done it was finially time for the needle to go through the first hole. She then told me to take a deep breath. When I did that she then pushed the needle through my ear. I heared it pop a little but suprizingly it didn't hurt at all. All I could think was wow, this isn't bad at all. Then she just as before said take a deep breath. I did and she shoved it though the second hole, it hurt a little more because the cartilage was harder there. I could hear the tissue rip and it scared the hell outa me espcially when she said oops. Luckly nothing was wrong she just thought she hurt me more er something.
Me being the dumb ass i am i forgot to mention that i have tendencies to pass out from needles. well after she put the jewlery in I started feeling light headed.I just wanted to pay and leave but she wouldn't let me stand up. The last thing I remember hearing is ohh man she's turning green!
I then woke up to find about 6 people around me. Everyone in the shop. Even the tattoo artist that was in the middle od doing a tattoo. Boy did I feel like shit then. So make things even better I look over to the waiting room and see my dad,sitting there,laughing his ass off at me. After all of that they game me water and a sugar packet,about 10 minutes later she let me stand up. I was still a little groggy as I was walking out. Then my dad handed me the envalope w/ my money inside and i turned around and said hey wait! I didn't pay. I guess the piercer was just worried about me and wanted to make sure I was ok cuz she forgot too. So I paided,she told me to give her a call if I had any problems.
Its now been almost 2 months since then, and everything is fine with my industrial.It healed up really nice and only hurts when I bump it or get my hair caught in it. Except for the fact that the jewlery is white and it looks like i shoved a q-tip in my ear but hey, I don't care I love it anyway.
