Since I was about seven years old I've been into piercings. Couple of years later I decided needed to change my look, I already had the "Punk" look going on and everyone at my school knew me by the name of "the girl that's weird" yup, well you get the idea.

So I looked at pictures with piercings and stuff like that. One day I was looking through some photos of people with piercings and I saw a lip piercing. I thought it looked so cool! I begged my mom to let me have my lip pierced, but she laughed at me and said that I was crazy and that she would never allow me to have a piercing but my ears.
Next year when I was thirteen my taste in piercing changed, I wanted to get my eyebrow done now, I begged my mom so much I think she got annoyed and said (knowing that I wasn't a straight A student by the way)"Okay, but only if you get very good marks, like A's and B+'s" I was kind of sad because I wasn't the smartest person alive, but I knew that I had to get my eyebrow pierced.
I studied my heart out the first term and when report cards came, guess what? I got straight A's! I was so happy I started to breath fastly and I was getting Light-headed, it all happened so fast. My mom said I could get it done the day after the report cards but I cried and told her that it had to be that same day, she said fine and looked a bit angry but it was okay because I was getting my eyebrow pierced!
We got there to the piercing place, which was also a hair product store (I don't recommend you to go to those places to get anything pierced!) I was really happy but at the same time nervous, I was scared of the needle or anything like that but I was scared of him not having new equipment and getting AID's (yes I know I do sound strange) So me and my mom went in and I sat down and he started to explain me about how to clean it and take care of it, I didn't really listen to him, I was too happy. He took out some food colouring and a toothpick and showed me where the ring was going to be, it was a bit lower than my eyebrow, but I said okay. My mom asked him why was it lower than the eyebrow and he said because my eyebrow was too high up and plus, hair would grow and I could shape it into the ring, so I guess she didn't convince my mom but she asked me, are you sure you want to get it done? I said yes of course and we went on.
He took out his material and showed it to us, everything was fine, I didn't look and he told me not to hold my breath or I would pass out on him , now I was scared!
I sat down and I closed my eyes then looked at my mom, I felt something (it was the needle going in)I screamed a little bit not too hard though, then I felt the ring going in, I screamed once again haha, then he took out a mirror, gave it to me and I saw my eyebrow ring, it looked weird, because it was below my eyebrow. But I was still happy! My mom looked just plain horrified.
After a couple of weeks later where the hair was supposed to grow was still bare, I got really mad and I told my mom that we shouldn't have gone there and that the person that pierced me had to experience, we went back and told the guy to take it out, he did and everything was fine, nothing got infected.
I saved up my money and told my mom I wanted to get it re-pierced and she said fine , but we wont go back to that place, I agreed with her and we went to a different place, I got it re-pierced and what a difference! it looked normal and pretty! Now I'm actually happy haha. Remember to tell the person who is doing your piercing if you want it to be placed there or not, It seemed impossible for me because I was too happy but that's how I had to get it re-done.
