For quite a long time i've been interested in eyebrow piercings. The look is fascinating to me. I knew my mom would never say yes if I asked her if I could get mine done, so I just decided to wait for a bit and do my research about all the risks involved. I decided I couldn't wait any longer to ask my parents. I begged and begged to get it done. I even used bribes like "i'll pull up my grades" "that's all I want for Christmas...I don't want anything else..and i'll even pay for it!" and crap like that. It seemed like forever when I was begging them, and the answer was always no. I seemed to stop begging as much as I did (I begged like everyday). After about 3 months of begging I had a conversation with my mom in the car about 3 weeks before Christmas. I asked her if I could get my eyebrow done as a Christmas present. She hesitated at first when I asked her, but she said that she was thinking about putting me into some school she wanted me to go to and she said if she let me get it done I had to promise to pull my grades up and go to that school( well of course I'd say yes but I didn't want to go to that school...I really wanted it!). Anyways, my mom said she'd talk to my dad about it.
At A Glance Author anonymous Contact anonymous@bme.anon When A month ago Studio Dragon FX Location West Edmonton Mall, Edmonton, Alberta A week later my mom told me that she and my dad decided that the answer would be no. I was really bummed about it because I was so hyped and had my hopes up. For the rest of the day I just moped around acting all upset like a big baby thinking they'd feel sorry for me. But they just acted normal and didn't even talk about it. I had to deal with their answer because I couldn't do anything about it anyways.
Then came Christmas. On Christmas morning we all opened our presents. My last present was a small box and when I opened it it was an envelope. I thought "what the fuck is this shit?!". But then I turned the envelope around it had the logo from the studio I wanted to get my eyebrow done. My heart just started pumping and I ripped the envelope open and it was a certificate to get my eyebrow done. Man was I excited. I hugged my parents told them and thanked them for saying yes.
About 4 days later we went to the mall. This was it. I was going to get my eyebrow done that day. For some strange reason, I wasn't nervous at all considering I get nervous all the time(I was so scared when I was going to get my ears pierced for all of the 5 times I got them done). Anyways, we did a bit of shopping first and then we went to Dragon FX.
We went up to the desk and picked out the jewelery I wanted. Then the girl at the desk asked how old I was and I had told her I was 14. Now she had told me the process of migration(I didn't exactly know what it was, but I have heard about it). She told that since I still quite young my immune system could possibly reject the piercing and push it out and gave me a pamphlet explaining it. She made sure I still wanted it. And I still wanted it. I didn't care if it migrated. So then she gave papers to my mom to sign and stuff and then we headed into the waiting room. The wait wasn't all that long, maybe less than 10 minutes. I still wasn't nervous....until some guy who had just come out and had just gotten his eyebrow done. The guy came up to his friends who were waiting for him and told him "Fuck that hurt man". That wasn't good to hear at all. My heart just started pumping and I wanted to leave. And right after that I got called in by my piercer.
I don't remember what her name was, but she was cool.
She led me into the room down the hall and told me to take a seat on the chair thingi. Then I was even more nervous, but not too bad. She took out the stuff needed out of the bags and then she put some stuff on my eyebrow that felt kind of cool and tingly. She marked the spot where I wanted it. Then she told me lie back and close my eyes. She pinched my eyebrow and told me to take a deep breath in..and then out. That was it. All I had felt was a pinch that wasn't too painful at all. I still had my eyes closed because I didn't know she was done..I though there was more(I didn't even know when she put my jewelry on)and she asked me if I was still alive. I was surprised that that was all. I thought there was more pain still. But she told me that was all. I got up and took a look in the mirror and it looked great. She cleaned my eyebrow again and explained the cleaning process and aftercare. She told me to clean it with Saline Solution twice or three times a day. I thanked her and left. It wasn't hurting at all. Though I was a bit scared if I might hit it.
It has been a month and I haven't had any signs of infections or redness. It's weird how I never had any crusties or redness or pain at all. But that is a good thing. It hasn't hurt at all. It has swelled up a few times after i'd snag or hit a couple of times, but the swelling lasted less than a day I never felt anything. Now i've been thinking of getting my lip pierced, but that won't be fir a long time. I thought my teachers would freak on me once they seen it, but they were cool about(my school is quite small yet strict), but i'll have to wait till my principle sees it and then i'd be in deep shit. But I really don't give a fuck what he thinks.
I recamend anyone who wants it to get their eyebrow done. It's a great way to express yourself. It's quick and painless! And you'll never regret it.
