Ok. Well I'm 1 month off being 15 and ever since I saw Tom Delonge in the "Blink 182 - All The Small Things" video with his lip pierced I've always wanted it done.
At A Glance Author Emily Contact Emily@bme.anon When A week ago Artist A Guy Location Bangor Before this I had six on my ears & my belly pierced & 1 tattoo (my Mum let me have a little one!!!) Yeah, so I always asked my Mum and she was always like:
"Hmmm I don't know..." - (Which annoyed me because she has NO IDEA how much I wanted it done...)That's all I wanted for my birthday.
I wanted 2 reach my target of 10 piercings before I'm 16 so I asked for my nose done... She didn't exactly say yes.... But she didn't exactly say no! :D
So last friday was our first day off for the summer holidays. And I finished work at 1:30 in the Beach Cafe and I had £35 on me. As it was my first day on the holidays I thought that if I had it done at the beginning it would be healed for school.
I went to Bangor... The first shop I went to said they had no bars so I carried on walking and there was this other shop. I went in and I asked how much it was for my nose pierced... He said £5! Good yeah? So I waited... And I went through.
The man there was soo cool. We were chatting and I was telling him how much I love piercings and I'd love my lip done one day. I asked how much that would be and he said £25. So I asked if I could have that done instead. But then he said he'll let me have them both done for free - just pay for my lip! How cool?!?!
I was really happy when he said that. I wasn't sure which side and he pointed at (my) left side and said that's where I'd suit it, with my nose pierced on (my) right side. He said the nose piercing would hurt more, so I wanted my lip done first.
That didn't hurt. I ran over to the mirror and I couldn't belive it. I FINALLY got my lip pierced!!! I was SO happy!!!
But my nose... Owch. That hurt ALOT more than my tattoo believe it or not!!! I was so close to chickening out!!! (Which is usually quite un-like me...) My nose bled - apparently it's because I was drinking alchol the night before.
Yeah so after that I went to Conwy to show my mates, but I just realised. "WE'RE GOING OUT FOR A MEAL TOMORROW NIGHT FOR MY SISTERS GRADUATION & MY DAD IS GOING TO KILL ME!!!"
So I asked my brother what do to and he said to text Mum to tell her. So I did. And she text back saying how mad my Dad is and I have to take it out. I promised myself not to...
They were ok with the nose piercing but it was the lip piercing I wanted the most...
After 1 night of refusing to take it out the next day I went to Tribal Child in Llandudno and asked them to remove it for me... I was so gutted... After wanting it done since I was 9 years old. He handed me my bar. I was so so so gutted.
That night we went for a meal. And we were getting on again. That night I was on MSN - the bar was there. So it took me an hour to force it back in. It really hurt.
The day after I lost my ball for the lip. I almost swallowed it a few times and for bed I sat up and poked a little hole through a plaster because I was so scared of loosing it.
Since then I've been taking the ball out everytime I'm around my Mum & Dad. I haven't eaten at home for ages!!! I can't because I'll have to take the ball out and I'll end up swallowing the back of it... I'm planning on telling them. Just not yet. I love having it too much. It makes me feel alot more confident. I didn't want it to show it off. I've been given a clear ball to put on the end but that is just as noticeable as a normal one!!! My Dad won't let me keep it though. He's too stubborn. (My Mum says that's where I get it from!) But if I hide it from them it keeps all of us happy! I'm happy because... Well, I get to keep the piercing... & My Mum & Dad because they don't think I have it ;) They will find out sooner or later, I'd just prefer them to find out later!!!
What they don't know can't hurt them eh? :)
