Twas a long shit day at school, and I thought to top it up, I would go and get something pierced from my good friend Nick . He's pierced me once before, and I thought that since he is the best piercer in the world (scoring brownie points here) I would get him to pierce me again.
At A Glance Author DRITA Contact amoxcillin@aol.com When A week ago Artist NICK! Studio City Body Art Location Brisbane, Australia My parents are piercing nazi's, so I had to get something inconspicuous. So after a lot of fucking around, Nick suggested my scrumper, but I thought they look weird. Then he said with a wink in his dirty old man voice that I should get my clit hood pierced, I just laughed and remembered seeing some frenulum piercing on bmezine ... so I decided on that. HE told me to lift the tongue up and check to see if I have a piercable one, and I did :D
He led me behind the counter, and into the very clinical and damn CLEAN piercing chair (gotta love city body art, as one of my friends have said this is the cleanest tattoo and piercing shop she's ever seen)... he set up his tools of the trade, swung me around and proceeded to mark up and clamp my precious little web....
DRITA HISTORY: just of recent I have gone a little piercing crazy, you see my first one was the nipple (obvious one the parents can't see) and this was to be my second. So I was still a little uneasy about a big pierced guy coming at me with needles...
..so I pussied out, and kept running away from him. However, Nick is the best fucking piercer I know... and him being the charmer he is and all, he calmed me down proper and I finally let him clamp me up and try puncture me again. The needle goes in, and after a little, well actually quite a lot of fumbling about, he gets the ring in.. a shinny new thing in my mouth to play with... It surprisingly didn't hurt as much as I thought it was going to... Much less than my nipple!
He told me that eating afterwards would be fine... so I go and get something to eat, thinking that it was going to be peachy fucking keen.. oh how I was wrong. I got subway, and the pain .. OH THE PAIN.. it took me over 30min to eat a damn 6-inch sub... and after that I didn't eat for a while, just drank me heaps of missippi moonshine and got pissed to forget the pain, (ahh the wonders of alcohol) :D Eating after that wasn't so bad though, just right afterwards wasn't the smart thing to do.
A few days had past, and the pain was still there, not bad, but noticeable... And on closer inspection, there was little white 'growths' on each side. And after a couple more days, it looked as though my skin had started to grow upwards and around the ring and it looked very swollen. Nick had told me at the time of the piercing that I wouldn't have to do anything to it, that it would heal its self, so I really didn't know what to expect when I saw what was happening in there. So off I went to see Nick and ask him what the hell was going on. He said that I had been playing around with it too much, and that it was getting infected, so he took me out back to that lovely piercing chair and he tried to place a bar in it, so that I would stop playing with it, but it was way too painful... So the next best thing was to just take it out, and get it re-pierced at a later date.
So now I have no frenulum piercing, and my mouth feels funny with out the ring to play with (ha ha, that's where I went wrong folks...) I have two little bumps where the skin started growing out, ahhh, the wonders of infections :D You should feel it.. Its so gross!! ha ha ha!
Don't get me wrong, with the proper care and what not, it will heal fine!( and i hear that the hole will be a permanent one as well... interesting.......) I think the only problem was the placement of the piercing, and that I had a ring in there to play with. It is/was my favourite piercing, and i can't wait to get it done again, I'm even thinking about getting it done twice... have multiple frenulum piercing...
So my advice to you people out there wanting to get your tongue web pierced is..... DON'T PLAY WITH IT! saves you a lot of pain! and for that matter, make sure your piercer puts in a bar not a ring :D then you should be peaches...
