Yesterday before all my crabby drama (which I am done with this and asking him to leave. I got a noise notice in my door today; I will be evicted if it doesn't stop. also my apartment is now a mess and he has no interest in picking up. Among other things, it has been 2 weeks I know it's not going to work) but anyways....Jeff came home and said lets go, septum time. I kept saying no, not yet, I'm not ready. But he called his piercer and said we were coming soon. So we sat around for an hour or so and went. I was nervous.
At A Glance Author B Contact B@bme.anon IAM bennynerd When Six months ago Artist Verno Location St. Paul, MN We got there and there was one person in front of us, a young guy wanting to get his nipples done. The piercer Verno talked with us a bit and took the other kid in. 5 minutes later the kid came out and said I had to go first because he needed different jewelry and it would take 15 minutes to clean. The whole time Jeff sat on the couch with me chit chatting sort of, distracting me. Verno came back out and had me fill out the waiver and we decided on 14g. I am going back to get it stretched to 12g and maybe as high as 10g later. Him and Jeff went to smoke as I did that. I wasn't nervous then, it was ok.
They came back, he went back to clean and I sat with Jeff. Then he came out and said it was time, luckily Jeff got up and came with me. I sat on the bed thing and Verno showed me all of us things, washed his hands and put on gloves. He crouched in front of me and started cleaning inside of my nose. Then he started feeling around while telling me what was going on. He said it was a hard piercing and if it went wrong he was going to take it out and redo it right then. He started feeling around to learn my nose and see where to pierce. After 5 minutes or so he got up and had me lay back. I took my hair down and glasses off, I wasn't nervous then. At least not my normal shaky nervous.
Verno put on new gloves and leaned over me. He told me about the receiving tube and was using a bamboo skewer thing to feel my nose. He told me to calm down and breath he would let me know. Then he switched to the needle and I got a little panicky. He had me calm down again and said to breath in through my nose and out my mouth. He had me do it once more and slid the needle through as I breathed out. It was exhilarating and not as painful as I thought. He left the needle in as he got the jewelry and asked if I was ok. Then he slipped the retainer in. I told him he was my best friend. I cried a little, but that was normal he said. He left it down and had me sit up to see if it was straight. I was very nervous for that part.
But luckily it was! My septum is perfect!!! I love it!!! I was very light headed as he handed me the mirror to see. He had me eat some thing to make me less woozy and then had me lie down. Head down, knees up. He also got me a water. Once I drank that I felt a million times better. I got up and looked in the big mirror and sat back down so he could put my retainer up. It was like "ohh I have a secret no one can see." we sat around there a while longer so Jeff could get each side of his lip done. We bonded! And now I want him out. Sad.
But I finally got my septum done. The piercing I have avoided for so long and have wanted even longer. I can feel it, and I love it. I never got it before cause of Dan. and now I have it. I did something just for me. No one else cares if I have it and I love it. I really love knowing it is there. People have always asked why I would get it since I only want the retainer in 95% of the time. It's like people who get a tattoo where no one can see. You know it is there. This was for me alone. Next...I want a tattoo.
And rereading this things are so different! I wrote this months ago when I first got my septum. Now I have multiple tattoos and live alone. I wrote this for my diary but I'm copying and pasting it here. And just to clarify, Jeff is a great guy...but not someone I could live with easily.
