My body modification obsession started when I was about thirteen years old, my mum had taken me to get my ear pierced when I was four .I was as nervous as hell. I remember just sitting there, I had no idea what was going to happen. I didn't really know what they were doing and I heard a bang and well, I freaked out completely. But I got it done, and then went and got an ice-cream.
At A Glance Author Mulisha_666 Contact Mulisha_666@bme.anon When Three months ago Studio Xango Location Burnie,Tasmania When I was about 13 and a half, I saw a boy at my school with stretched ears .I think they were about 5/8". I thought they looked awesome, and decided I wanted to stretch my ears. I asked my mum and of course she said no but after a few months of trying to convince her to let me stretch my ears she finally let me. My father HATES all body modification out. So when he saw me with two 4mm steel spikes in my ears he flipped out. He got over it and im now up to 5/8".
I also got my eyebrow pierced at about the age of 14. A couple of my friends had theirs done, and had talked my into getting my done. At 15 I decided I wanted my lip pierced. Mum said she needed time to think about it. After a few more months of convincing her to let me get it done she finally agreed on the condition that I payed for it. I didn't ask how old I was thought that was fair so after a few weeks I had saved up enough money to get my lip pierced. Anyway, I found a piercer in Burnie Tasmania . So the next day my mum went in before work and signed the forms.
My appointment was at 1:00pm so I caught the bus into Burnie. I think my mum was more scared about me getting pierced than I was. I arrived at the pierces at exactly 1:00pm.When I arrived the piercer said she had already set everything out. She then took me out into a small room in the back of the studio. She asked me if I wanted to sit or stand. I chose to sit she then explained everything she was going to do and asked me exactly where I wanted my lip pierced. I pointed to around about where I wanted it on the left side of my lip. She marked it and asked me if it was in the right spot. I said I would like it a little more to the left so she rubbed it out and marked it again. This time it was perfect. She gave me a cup with some Listerine in it to swish in my mouth. Then she put some gloves and got the clamp and needle ready. She asked me if I was ready. I nodded and she put the clamp on my lip. Then I felt the needle going through my lip with no pain at all. I was actually a little disappointed that there w as no pain. She took the clamp off. I asked her if it was done. Yes she replied. I was shocked that there was no pain. I could not stop smiling If anyone wants there lip pierced and is nervous about the pain there's nothing to worry about its not bad.
After I got it pierced the piercer gave me some more Listerine to swish. After that I went out the front had a look in the mirror it looks awesome The piercer complimented me on how much it suited me. I payed the piercer. Then got my aftercare pack and went down to show my mum.To my surprise she liked it.
My healing and aftercare all went fine and six weeks later I think it fully healed.
I asked my mum if I could get the other side pierced so Id have snakebites Of course she said no. But hopefully she will let me get the other side pierced for my sixteenth birthday.
I'm also getting a small tattoo on my left shoulder blade with one of my best friends that was killed name in japanese writing.
Everyone in my family (except my brother and mum) all my teachers at school think im insane and one of my teachers even thinks I should see a councilor. Its people like this that really piss me off. Just because I like piercings they think I'm suicidal. They judge me before they even know me. If they would take the time to get to know me instead of judging me on my appearance everyone one would be a lot happier.
Anyway if anyone's thinking of getting there lip pierced. To go for it because I think it's a pretty trouble free piercing and its pretty much painless.
