I've wanted my eyebrow pierced since I was 12, so almost 4 years. And my parents said if I pass all my courses this semester, I can get it. So I found out Thursday morning (1.30.2002) that I passed all my courses, and I told my parents.
At A Glance Author Bryan When A week ago Artist Diann Studio Art Addictions Location Brampton, Ontario, Canada So at 5:30 me, my mom and my daughter Taylor picked up my friends Tasha and Mike. There was traffic and we got lost cause of the dumb signs, so we finally got there at like 6:30. I was already on the list because I called earlier. This guy had me and my mom show id and sign some papers. After that I had to wait for 2 girls to get their belly buttons pierced before I could go in. So they left and I got called up. I picked out what I wanted, a silver ring with a silver ball. I paid the 50$ for the piercing and the ring, then Diann brang me, Mike and Tasha to the back.
She got me to sit in the dentist chair. I had to take off my hat! I knew I would but I still didn't brush my hair. And I obviously had to take off my glasses too. So she explained what she was going to do but I already knew. She asked which eyebrow I wanted done, and I said my left. So she drew 2 dots on my eyebrow, the insert and exit points for the needle, and asked if they're ok. I liked them so I said yes. After that she had to check for nerves in my eyebrow. She pinched my eyebrow a couple times and said to tell her if I feel any tingly or shock feeling in my face. And I didn't so I was good. Then she checked for veins. She felt my eyebrow for a pulse, but there wasn't one. I was good to go.
She cleaned my eyebrow with some brown stuff first, and then she took out the clamp, and put it on my eyebrow. That was fine. Then she told me to close my eyes. She said she's putting the needle on the bottom dot. She said take a breath and she put it through. It hurt cause it didn't go right through. It pushed my eyebrow up then went through. But it wasn't too bad. Then she said its in but not to open my eyes. So it was stinging alot then, and she slid out the needle and put in the ring. Then it took like 5 min because I was bleeding alot, so she was sitting there talking to us for 5 min while she waited for me to stop bleeding. But it took too long, so she said she's going to put in the bead while I'm bleeding. So she did that and it hurt. She said I need to relax. She also said she's never seen someone's heart beat so fast and hard, u could see it through my shirt. That's why I was bleeding so much, because my heart is pumping all that blood. So my heart r ate when down and I finally stopped bleeding. So I got to see it and it was sweet. I put on my hat and glasses and left.
It stung for a couple hours, but stopped. I can't even feel it now. But I can see it if I look up. I cleaned it for the first time and it bled a bit more and stung, but it's all right. I have to put on some bactine, then move the ring back and forth to get it inside the hole. So I did that and it feels pretty cool.
All my friends that have seen it think it looks good. I love it! Every time I walk past a mirror I go look at it. All that waiting and pain was worth it. My friends can't wait to see it at school on Monday. I've been talking about getting my eyebrow pierced for 4 years and now I have it.
I've had it for over a week now and I've been cleaning it 2 times a day like Diann said to and it seems to be going good. I'm used to it now.
I recommend Art Addictions to anyone that is in the Brampton area. They are very clean and Diann explains everything she is doing. In all the experiences I have read, I never heard about the piercer checking for nerves and veins. So that makes me feel good that she knows what's she's doing. After every time she pierces somebody she takes the needle and bends it in half with pliers and puts it in the disposal. They are very clean.
If you want your eyebrow pierced, do it! It's worth everything.
