Well. To tell you the truth my rook was a spur of the moment in the when of getting it done but not of thinking about why I wanted it done if that makes any sense. I had wanted my rook done for about a month and me and my 2 girlfriends had made a "date" of getting our piercing's done together. But with 2 of us working it was hard getting it done fast. So in this waiting period I had a dream the night of payday of how hot my right ear ( with a double conch ) would look with a sexy ring going through my tragus. I woke up and decided to get it done that day. Because that night before I had seen on some TV show a tragus with a sexy ring in it and man did it look good. My friend Jillian has it done but always has a barbell in it. I wanted it done.
At A Glance Author Kylee When It just happened Artist Jake Studio Bushido Location Calgary, Canada Now.I walked around all day telling people I was getting my tragus done. But when it got close to the piercers I was kind of freaking out. See I always told my best friend Jillian I'd never get my tragus done. Even though I have my anti-tragus done.. just something about it makes me think it's soooo painful. I know it sounds weird. She said if I was scared then maybe get my rook done this time and save my tragus for the "piercing date" I agreed thinking this rook piercing would be ½ the pain of a tragus. I went in and they said Jake would be busy until about 3:30 ish. So I said I'd come back then. We went and walked around 17th Ave. And ate something to waste about 2 hours.
I felt bad because my friends feet were soaked there feet were freezing and I was dragging them all over downtown to get my ear pierced. So We go back to the piercing place. I had ate too much and felt sick. But I think feeling sick was better then being nervous. Jake said he had to change a couple peoples jewelry before me ( because I would take longer ) I agreed.
Finally it was my turn. He was so nice. I just heart him so much. Instead of just quickly getting out needles and jewelry he kind of talked to us like we were humans, not just customers. But he got out the cutest little ring, and as he was still talking to us got the other stuff out. He explained to me what he was doing with receiving tubes so I knew what was going on ( even though by the looks of me I had been through piercings many times before.)Finally the moment had come. He lined up the rook and receiving tube & told me he was ready. On some deep breaths he pushed it through. Yep it was pretty painful. But nothing to cry about. I quickly said "it's through. it's through" He told me to be very still as he slipped in the jewelry. I said "ow!" as he was doing this and he said "you know you like it" which made me giggle because in a way you are liking it. Then the bead which took a while. Because it's a kind of a hard place to be putting the ball on a little ring. I told him about me chickening out about the tragus too he said it wouldn't hurt any more then this one. I was shocked. And happy it has certainly calmed me down for the tragus him telling me that. Then like other piercing places they kick you out..and I was getting ready to leave.. but he made me sit back down and explained aftercare. The Same old use this don't use this but if something is going wrong come back. Then I told him about my piercing date because I was so happy about the service. I wanted him to do me and my friends some time the next week. I was super happy. And he walked me back to the counter to pay the girl. My rook is two days old and I forget I have it because it's virtually painless unless I punch it or something. It's so hot too. I be picking up some boys for sure. :)
Afterwards my friends and I got on the wrong bus that we thought would be easier then walking to a train. On this bus we were talking about my funny looking face and how he had to put a lot of pressure on my ear to make it go through. She said it looked like he was stabbing me vs. poking me. Which was funny. But the entire experience was great. And I'm excited for my tragus because I know Jake will take care of me.
