I had been drooling over anti-eyebrow piercings on bmezine.com for almost two years before I finally got my own. I think they are such an attractive piercing to have and for a while all I could do was dream. Since I'm just turning 18 in September and this happened about 3 weeks ago, my sister offered to pay for it for my birthday because she was getting another tattoo the same day. My first obstacle was asking daddy. My mum nor dad couldn't care less...awesome. So my appointment was at 2:00 that wednesday by THE most gorgegous boy...named Danny.
At A Glance Author Kyra Contact ImDrowningHere@hotmail.com When A week ago Artist Danny Studio Harry's Tattoos Location Boyertown, PA I had gone to this shop before to get my tattoo so I was familiar with the people who worked there and the environment which calmed me for the most part. When my sister, my boyfriend Nich, my friend Aleah, and I arrived I was completely shiting myself. Now I tried to calm myself down by saying to myself that this wasn't my first piercing and that I've gone through worse but, it didn't work. I walked up to the front desk, while my sister just walked back to the guy who was doing her tattoo, and told Danny what I wanted. He had a very confused look on his face when I pointed to where exactly I wanted it.
I wanted my anti-eyebrow more so on my cheek bone pointing towards my nose rather than horizontal to the ground right next to my eye like some people have. Danny explained to me that he had bad allergies and that he was still a little sedated from the medicine he took...comforting eh? I said that I was still up for the piercing and I trusted him because I knew I could. I told him I wanted a straight barbell rather than a curved one and that presented no problem. While Danny got himself set up I went out for one last cigarette and Nich offered me comforting words which helped. After that was done, I walked back in and Danny told me to come sit down.
Danny asked me where I wanted it again and he spent, what seemed like an hour, trying to draw it on where he thought I wanted it. Finally I got so frustrated that I walked over to the mirror with the pen and drew it on myself. Now by this point I was semi-nervous and made Nich hold my hand. I kept looking over the counter at my friend Aleah but I could'nt for too long because I would start to crack up and fuck Danny's program up. Danny talked to me to relax me a little as he started applying the clamp. SWEEEEEET JESUS did that mother hurt and I have a good tolerance for pain but I didn't express the pain too harshly. I guess it was because I have very little skin to grasp there. Danny apologized for having to keep on adjusting the clamp because he knew it was hurting me. Now everything by that point was amplified by 1,000,000,000. Nichs hand felt boiling hot, my sisters tattoo needle was deafening me and my face felt like a blimp.
Next thing I knew he put the needle through, which felt like someone flicked my face, and I gave out the biggest sigh of relief. The pain of the clamp overcame the pain of the initial needle so I think I got off easy. Finally Danny slid in the barbell, which felt so wicked because I could feel it all, and cleaned me up. I went back over to the mirror and presented a huge ear to ear grin...LOVELY! He said that I did a great job with keeping my cool and that he was glad I didn't 'projectile vomit' all over him.
I paid him his tip and said that my sister would handle the rest and off to the diner I went. On the walk there Nich was saying that it was goregous and I felt the same. It kind of throbbed for the next two hours but I was able to sleep comfortably on it that night. I cleaned it with this special piercing soap I was given by Julia at what used to be Carl Hesse's Tattoo's when I got my labret pierced. It pussed for about two days but that was it. About three weeks later (now) its doing awesome. I have a little dry skin around the area but I'm well pleased. I took a picture of it yesterday and submitted it on here and I guess we'll see if it shows up. Looking back at it now, I think I got a little too worried and nervous about it all but that's just the type of person I am. I don't regret anything about my experience and I can't wait to get pierced tons more times.
