I have had my ears pierced for as long as I can remember and I currently have a bunch of ear piercings. All of the piercings that I have gotten before my snugs were all lobe piercings, which included three sets done with a gun and one without a pair that I did myself. I love ear piercings and had been browsing through this site for a few weeks trying to find my favorite new editions. I chose to get double snug, one in each ear done at the same time.
At A Glance Author mikannormsgirl Contact mikannormsgirl@bme.anon When N/A Artist Jason Studio Primitive Impressions Location Rochester, NY Once I made that decision I contacted one of my old high school friends whom I knew started doing piercings at a tattoo shop. I really trusted his option, since he has a ton of piercings, so I asked him a bunch of questions. Most of my questions had to do with where to go. I knew that I could handle the pain and I didn't think much of it. My friend told me to get into contact with Primitive Impressions and I did.
I sent them an e-mail first asking if they would recommend doing two at once and whether or not to make an appointment. Jason e-mailed me back telling me that I should do both and I should also make an appointment. I gave him a call a few days later and explain that I had e-mailed him and wanted to get two snugs at once. This is when I started to get the impression that this little snug piercing is going to hurt a lot. He talked to me about being allow to stop after the first one and that it was going to hurt like a bitch for the first few days. He really got me to start thinking that maybe I shouldn't go through with this but, I wanted it and I wasn't going to let a little pain, or a lot, get in my way.
I was nervous the whole entire day. I had told my mom what I was up to but not my dad or brother, I felt like they would have more of an understanding once it was done. I was to my classes and my friend picked me up. That whole day I was taking anti-inflammatory, just like Jason told me to. We finally get there and Jason is running behind which is fine because I started chatting with the other people that were in the shop. I filled out the paperwork and he measured my ear. The time was almost here but the jewelry had to get cleaned.
Everything was finally ready and I walked into the other room and sat in the chair. All of the sudden everyone got really quiet and my nerves were creeping back. I mean I had never gotten any cartilage pierce let alone anything done without the gun. I told them to tell jokes; Jason and one of the people I was talking to while I was waiting told me some jokes until everything was marked and ready. I had space between my third and forth holes on my right side. Next thing I know he's say deep breathe in and out (I held my breathe. It makes me more comfortable.) and it was over. I thought to myself how that wasn't so bad and Jason asked if I wanted him to put the ball on or just hurry up and do the next one.
I chose for him to do the next one, deep breathe in and out. "That one sucked!" I told him. It had taken what felt like twice as long for the needle to reach the other side. He put on the balls and wipes off a little blood from the right snug. I paid him and tipped him and left to stock up on supplies. Jason also called me hardcore for getting them both done and was pleased that I never stopped smiling.
I slept on my ear perfectly fine although I had to be a little bit careful with them. And today they were fine as well. I don't feel any discomfort with them until I tried to not take the anti-inflammatory. I can feel my ears swell but that is all and I was really surprised with the way Jason talked. I would definitely recommend them and have already talked to Jason about the waiting time until I can go back to get double Traguses done. I like the having even amounts on each side. My snugs also look amazing with all of my other piercings and I loved the environment of the shop. Jason was very friendly and very educated. I don't think that I will ever go any where else because I was so satisfied!
Oh, I should my dad and brother when I got home and they loved it. I knew that it would be better to make them wait to see the finished product.
