I had first seen this piercing, on a store employee at Virgin Records and it looked so amazing. It was a barbell going through his ear at the time I was so clueless to this. Later in the month's I learned more about it and I learned it was called an 'Industrial' or 'Scaffold'! So after, I had found all that information out I researched it and researched it. I saw pictures of it and what a amazing piercing its rare and it just looks so awesome like i've said before!

One day, I decided to tell my friend about it and we decided we were going to go get it together! So that one day she came over my house and we were off to the piercing parlor. We saw everything and everything was great! But, their was one problem the piercer wasent there! We had gotten our hopes up for nothing! We were so bummed, so we just went to eat and let it go.

A week later, she came back over but she had already gotten it done up their by her hometown! So she came with me to do mine, so I went to a parlor called 'Bison Tattoos & Piercing' everything looked nice the place was so cozy the people were very nice and very attentive! I would recommend anyone to go their its a great enviroment! So, I went into the parlor I filled out all the papers and me and my friend sat down and waited till they called me! Finally, they called me..

The piercer sat me down on a chair, he marked my ear and then cleaned it and told me to take a deep breathe and I did! He did the top hole first I think .. I really dont remember! But, what I do remember is that the bottom hole hurt so badly! But, its those pains that like you just want to itch! Then, after everything was done he looked at me and started explaining on how to clean the piercing and everything! Overall I say like from a 1 - 10 scale its about an 8!

Now lets talk about the aftercare, if you guys are wondering about this matter. Well, what my piercer told me to clean it with Dial soap (antibacterial Soap) atleast 3 or 4 times a day to prevent an infection. Then, use the Bactine Spray when it was nice and dry. So i did that but then, I had consulted another piercerer about using the bactine spray and they said to stop using it! So, I did cause, i felt like the Bactine Spray wasent really doing that much for me.I had seen that a little bump was developing on the top, and I had remembered that my friend had the same thing! It was nothing major, so I asked her what did she use to make it go away and she told me after I had cleaned it to put 'Tea Tree Oil'. So I went out to buy it, and all I can say it worked MIRACLES! If you guys have a little bump or anything like that, you can purchase this at GNC. Its great.Dont forget also do your sea salt soaks that also helps alot with the healing process! Thats what the piercers told me! And Ladies and Gentlemen when you clean it dont miss a day cause, that could be fatal! Just Keep up with the cleaning it will pay off in the long run!

Peoples reaction, to when they see me with this piercing is like, "Omg, thats so cool!" "I want one!" I think its pretty cool people think that, most of my friends are like "Man I'm so getting that done." while of course, you always have your people that are always like "omg girl thats nasty!" But, hey they didnt get it done so whats the problem is?! I love my piercing and I would do it again, even if i have to go through the pain again cause, I just cant describe it Its just amazing!!

If anyone is thinking about this piercing go for it! Its beautiful piercing I mean its a little pain, when you get it done but hey! beauty is pain! I recommend to anyone, that wants this amazing piercing to go for it! And the aftercare isent bad at all, after awhile you get use to it and your like "Oh! I have to go clean my piercing" it becomes fun after awhile! so just go for it! Its awesome!But, just make sure to research a piercer that knows about this stuff, cause I have read story's about others making mistake! I just wouldnt want anyone going through double the pain of getting this piercering and someone having it done wrong! So trust me, look for a piercer that knows about these piercings! Good Luck to anyone who wants to get this piercing or who is thinking about getting this piercing!
