Ok, well I got my ear piercing on the 30th of June 2007 (he he) and btw those who don't no I think it closes at 8 everyday but I got mine done on Saturday so I'm not so sure about the other days of the week.
At A Glance Author Clare Contact gimpmachine@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist um, guy with alot of tattoos- but young Studio Under the skin Location Aldershot, Hampshere, UK Anyway, last night I spent the whole night up and my dad came down and got a bit annoyed because I was still awake. And he said 'you're definitely not going to be able to go to that place now.' And I was like, yeehhh well I will, somehow... So I started feeling a bit weird because I spent the whole night on the computer so I went to bed. And I woke up at about 3 going 'oh... OH MY GOD!!!' coz it was the last day that I was gonna be able to go get my ear pierced before going off to Norfolk with my school. So anyway, I got ready as quickly as I could and ran down stairs to tell my bro and his mate that we had to go today and get there before 5. Then I went off to ask my dad to drive us to Aldershot, but he said we can't possibly get there before 5. So I phoned the studio and asked them when they shut, which was 8, so I was like 'YEH!!!' and rubbed it in the faces of my dad and anyone else... So anyway, we got to the train station and went off to Aldershot with my bro and his mate. Ran about Aldershot for ages looking for the place then found it, finally. My bro had managed to find a shop that sold vodka redbull, the vodka was foul but I drank it anyway to get me hyped up for the piercing. So I started getting a bit tipsy, and by then we had found the place. We went down and I stood around filling in the form in and started to take the piss out of random Japanese Kanji tattoos which were not correct (though a majority were, but be careful, if you want a proper Japanese tattoo go to Japan or get someone who is Japanese to get it done for you). After that the guy with tattoos came back and took me into the other room where there were dentist like chairs. The place was thoroughly disinfected as you could tell by the smell of the place. I sat down and lay back. The problem of being pissed when being asked questions is that you sometimes don't understand what the guy is saying so you end up saying silly things. So we had this big 'yes...um possibly. I think so' conversation, but finally we got there. The guy was really nice. I somehow managed to tell him that I was half Japanese, and then he started asking me if I would dress up as a Geisha for him, then the big 'yeh maybe, I dunno. Hah like I would' conversation commenced. Mean while he had sprayed my ear with freezing stuff, like when you spray yourself with deodorant and its freezing. It was like that. So my ear was all numb, and he had pierced it. I could kind of hear the needle go through the cartilage but didn't take much notice of it because it didn't hurt. So we were still rambling on about Geishas' when he goes 'wanna go check your ear?' so I hopped off the dentist chair and looked at my ear in the mirror, he had done both parts so quickly and with no pain. So surprising, and now I love it, though I havn't even gone through a week of having it done yet. I told him that I would be back for tragus and tongue piercing soon. And he told me all the looking after-ness of my ear and to call the studio if I had any questions about it. So I left the shop really happy and went ba While I was having my ear done, my bro and his friend left looking for a drinks shop thing. So I was blundering around the front room bit thinking 'where are they...' I had to ask two guys about them and told me that they had gone off to buy some things. I found them outside anyway which was a relief; I hate being left alone in places I don't know! Then we left! All happy and content, and relieved to be back in our hometown.
Later we went off to KFC where it bled a bit, but a few dabs from a tissue soon stopped it.
So, now that I'm sober, I can honestly say that I'm extremely pleased about my piercing and I encourage anyone else to go get it done at under the skin!
P.s make sure you know where your going, or you may get a bit lost like we did =P
