The time had come for me to embark on a new body modification. I had been debating on getting a Madonna for quite sometime, but was never truly sure if I would be happy with it. A good friend of mine is a photographer and she was heading over to Love n Hate to take photographs of a young lady getting her septum pierced. I decided to follow along and possibly get pierced myself. Steve AKA "The Hands of God" was the piercer on duty that night. I spoke to him about getting a Madonna and we went in the back to look at the jewelry that he had in stock. It was not my luck, he didn't have the right size of jewelry in stock...and told me that he would personally go down to the manufacturer on Monday and he would give me a deal since I was going to have to wait.
At A Glance Author Asinfulmystery Contact Snowqueen1313@aol.com When A month ago Artist Steve AKA "The Hands of God" Studio Love -n- Hate Location Lewisville, Texas I awaited Monday and called the parlor. Unfortunately for me Steve was having car problems and was unable to make it in that day. I was extremely bummed out. I had prepared myself for the piercing, and here, I was not going to be able to get it done. Granted there are a number of parlors around the Dallas area, but this one was nice. And I had been going here for tattoo work for quite sometime, and wanted to keep my business here. I called on my day off later in the week. My luck had shown again, it was Steves day off. So I thought to myself what about Saturday, I can go in before I go to work. I called. Steve wasn't there yet. Not my luck at all!
About a month passed and my manager was about to celebrate her 40th birthday. As my gift to her I told her that I would pay for her to get her navel pierced. She agreed and off to Love n Hate we went. When we arrived there Steve was there...we started talking again about the piercing and he let me know that he had the jewelry in and he would love to pierce me. I sat there and thought about it. Wasn't to sure. Could it have been fate saying I shouldn't get pierced. I had run into so many problems trying to get it done.
My manager got her navel pierced and here was my turn. Do it or don't do it. Steve laughed and marked my face, it was cute, the little dot was cute, and it would look great with jewelry in it. He wasn't taking no for an answer he kept up with the idea of me getting it done. He eventually day everyone working there that day coming over and talking me into it. I am a sucker for sexy guys telling me I am cute. He brought to my attention the deal he was going to give me and the price was hard to beat. I paid my money and went to lay down on the leopard couch thing. Explaining that if he didn't do it now I was going to change my mind. I have always had a pretty good tolerance to pain, but the initial idea of hurting myself scares me.
He was explaining what he was going to do and I was getting anxious. I wanted to get it done and over with. But before I knew it I felt a tiny pinch and I opened my eyes. The needle had already been shoved through my lip. WOW!! I thought that was nothing. I sat there for a minute or so with the needle sticking out of my lip. Interesting look if you ask me. He warned me that it might sting when he puts the jewelry in. That was really the only part that hurt. When he was pushing my lip away from the jewelry he was sort of fighting with it. He got the ball screwed on and I sat up. I couldn't stop looking into the mirror. It was sexy. I loved it! He explained the swelling process to me, and I was not looking forward to it.
I felt no pain at all. I was extremely surprised. Until the 24 hour mark had hit. Still no pain, but I looked like I had lost a fight. My lip was swollen and red. It took me about a week and a half for the swelling to finally go down and the redness to go down. The only thing I had to worry about after that was the dry skin that had developed from the antibacterial soap I was using. That took awhile but eventually the flaking ceased. Now the piercing is sexy, lovely. I am very happy with my choice and will continue to go to Love n Hate. No matter all the problems I had in the past, there is much business to be held in the future.
