My addiction for piercings started the first time I got my ears pierced. I loved the rush that I got from it. I have 6 holes in each ear (6g, 10g, 3 regular size piercings and a regular sized in my cartilage). My ears weren't enough for me, and my addiction grew to want gauged needles and in other places than my ears. I decided to ask my mom for a navel piercing. She of course said no. I've been working on her now for 4 years, asking for just about any piercing, just to see if she'd let me. She said no, and my need was growing, so I went to a friend and had her do my navel (I don't recommend this, go to a professional! Even though mine turned out quite nice). A little short of a year later, my mom somehow found out that I'd had it done. She grounded me and had me take it out. What she didn't know was that I kept the hole open by putting the ring in every so often because I knew I'd want to get it done again when I moved to college (but why pierce back through all that s car tissue?).
At A Glance Author Christine Contact xmindlessxbeautyx@yahoo.com When It just happened Artist Chris Viola Studio Cherokee Creek Location Garden City, MI I graduated high school this May with a 3.1 overall Grade Point Average and a 3.6 Grade Point Average for the last card marking. My mom was proud, and I decided now would be a good time to ask for another piercing for a reward. She said she supposed I could get my navel done. I knew the hole was already open, so I told her that I'd just push it back through instead of paying to get it pierced again. She finally allowed it, but that wasn't enough for me because I'd already had it done. There was no rush. I asked for the lower navel, and to my surprise, she agreed right away.
I forgot about it for a while, until my friend wanted her navel done. I had to search for my birth certificate because I'm underage. We finally found it the other day, but my new wish was to have a vertical labret. There was no way on Earth my mom was going to give in to that one (believe me, I begged), so I settled on the lower navel. We called into Cherokee Creek (an old friend from school works there named Chris), and he said that the lower navel can't be done on everyone, so he'd have to take a look at it. He also asked if there was anything else I wanted done if my lower navel couldn't be done. I took that opportunity to beg my mom for a vertical labret. No such luck, she said lower navel or nothing. I decided to take that and stop complaining.
She went up to the shop to sign papers while I stayed home and watched my little brother and sister. She returned and I had my boyfriend take me up there. Chris looked at my navel and said that chances are the scar tissue would push the piercing out, and that it would be pointless to do. Just as I was leaving, he asked me if I wanted to do my eyebrow. I was shocked! I called my mom to make sure she really signed for it, and she said yes. This wasn't what I had expected, so I sat down to think about it first. I'd never thought of getting my eyebrow pierced. My boyfriend has it done and it looks great on him, but I didn't know if it'd look right on me. After asking Chris and my boyfriend Corey what they thought, they both said go for it, that it would look fine. I thought about it some more, because I hate things so close to my eyes, but decided to go ahead and do it. My need for a piercing was strong, and I needed to take advantage of my mom actually letting me get a fac ial piercing at that.
I sat down and he cleaned the area thoroughly. He said my eyebrow would be easy to pierce because it was thin. That made me feel better. He set the needle in lubricant while he set up the jewelry and the clamps. The clamps were set, and they didn't even hurt at all. He said breathe in and breathe out (the usual trick) and he pushed it through. This part did hurt, probably because there was a metal needle plowing through one end of my skin through the other. It only hurt for a second, and he put the jewelry in and I was done. I was surprised at how quick and almost painless it was. I looked at it, and I was undecided if I liked it or not...but after looking at it for a minute I decided that I liked it. I paid him and thanked him, and I set off for home.
It's been a day now, and I can't even feel it. It's a little bruised around the piercing, but its not sore at all unless I bump it or something on accident. I hardly remember its even there! I've already grown to like it even more. I suggest to anyone that really wants to get their eyebrow pierced, to just do it and not worry about the pain. Everyone's experiences are different, but my opinion is that this is a good piercing to get that isn't too painful. If you want it, go for it!
