As of now I have 10 piercings: 3 lobe, 1 cartilage, Industrial, right side of lip, nostril, eyebrow, and now my septum. Obviously I have become addicted to piercings and have been since I was about 13, although I was always interested in them, even as a kid. Might I add it took me about 2 months to talk my dad into letting me get this, he is kind of a dick about it, my moms pretty cool about it though. Once I finally talked him into it he said I could get this and my lip done and then no more until Im 18 or can sign for myself...psh Ill talk him out of that...Anyways, My usually piercer, Nate, said he wouldn't do it on me because it was to 'extreme' and all this other bullshit, So I had to go about 2 hours out of my way to get this done.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When A week ago Artist Steve or Mike Studio Deja Vu Location Ogden Utah When I had gotten there the piercer wasn't in, but the lady at the desk said he would be in about half an hour. So me my mom and my girlfriend just wondered around the mall for about that long, we went back, and just looked at all the tattoo's and what not on the walls. To say the least, I was nervous, incredibly nervous.
The piercer finally got there in about 10 minutes. I saw him and was really hoping he wasn't the piercer because he looked kind of scary...but that wasn't going to stop me. He took me back, I asked the obvious "Is this going to hurt?" he replied with "Im not going to lie to you, when I got mine done it felt like I was getting punched in the face."..."Great, that helps me out a lot." In the meantime everything was getting autoclaved and my nose got cleaned with this very odd stuff that was on a q-tip the size of a fucking horse...getting that put up my nose was less then pleasant, but wasn't bad. He started marking inside my nose, that was a very odd feeling, I kept trying to look just incase he was going to surprisingly pierce me. Finally, the time came, everything was all clean and marked...he put the receiving tube at the other side of my nose, had my do the breathing crap, and then...presto, done. I didn't even feel it, well ok I sorta did, it was like pressure and that was it, I was waiting for it to hurt like a bitch on crack, but never did, I was smiling from ear to ear and bouncing around and soooo happy for the rest of the day! I was especially happy because my mom let me get a circular barbell (Horse shoe looking thing) in it and not a retainer!
The whole thing cost me $55.00 which I was more then happy with. I feel like a total cunt though because I didn't tip him and he did a great job, it was perfectly straight and pierced perfectly! He told me it was the best one he had done which made me pretty excited!
It stung a bit for the 3 days off an on, nothing compared to my lip or industrial. by day 4 it was still a tiny bit sore but only once in awhile, by the 5th day it was like it was always there! its been about...2 weeks I think, I got it done June 29th (05). And so far so good! I was really pissed off how everybody said this was going to hurt so fucking bad and then I didn't even feel it! Oh, if you have a stuffy nose or bad allergies...wait until they pass...because blowing your nose with this thing is a huge pain in the ass. I was hoping it would 'bite the piercing bug back' but it didn't, I want another one already, and a tattoo!!
Oh and I cleaned it with anti bacterial soap, I had cleaned all my other piercings with Saline Solution but for some odd reason it burned more then the soap! so I just used the soap!
I really recommend this piercer, his name was either mike or Steve! so if your ever in the new gate mall in Ogden go to deja vu!! Oh and this was an actual piercing studio, not just one of those crappy ones that malls usually have and pierce with guns! Everything was autoclaved, good lighting, and pierced with a needle and all that! The piercer was really friendly and made me a lot more comfortable. Plus he doesn't charge as much as my usual piercer does! I'll probably be going back to him for the rest of my piercings, just because in my opinion he is a lot friendly and 'professional'.
Anyways, if your thinking about getting this done, go for it, I hardly even felt it and its not even that sore after words unless you bump it!
