Well, I'm back folks! I have another unexpecting saga of pain to report. I starting getting the itch. The itch for pain. It had been an incredible journey. My significant other is offshore. I stay home and take care of my son. The saddness of my mate being gone consumed me. I needed something to take my mind away from the loneliness. So, I did some research on BME. I fell in love with a lip piercing. I talked it over with my soulmate before, he left to go offshore. He agreed it would be really cool. Months went by, I still wanted it done, but had no time or money. It was kept on the back burner for another couple of weeks.

That same feeling of loneliness came back to haunt me. Then, my cousin called me last week and told me she was pregnant. I was shocked! I was disappointed at the same time. She was my piercing buddy. We always got our piercings together. I told her a long time ago, that I wanted my lip pierced.
Oh! By the way I have 6 piercings. I have 2 holes in each ear. I have my cartilage and nose pierced also. I have retired my nipples, tongue, and belly button. I've always been a fan of body expression. I'm no stranger to the needle. When, I turned 16. I got my belly button pierced with help from my parents. I recently told them about the lip piercing. They thought I was done with that period of my life. Who are they kidding? The itch always comes back for more. And, the more I kept looking at BME. I more I wanted to get my piercing. Then, I thought to myself: I'm a mother now. Would getting a piercing be wrong?(I haven't got a piercing in 4 years.) Plus, I was a mother now. It got me thinking....... I'm still the same person. I needed to do something for me. A baby is a full time job.(Girlfriend be tired)
Okay, my cousin decides to come into town on Saturday.. She calls me out of the blue and says she is coming over right now. I didn't mind because she hasn't seen the baby since March. I knew she needed some pointers too. She is getting ready to become a mom herself. So, she spent the whole evening over my house. Then, she brought up my lip piercing. I told her that I still wanted to get it. She said how about tonight.( I was thinking to myself, it is to soon. I'm not ready.) But, I told her sure, let's do it. But, I couldn't reach my mom to babysit for a couple of hours. So, I rescheduled for tomorrow. Finally, I reached my mother and she said she would babysit tomorrow. Everything was set!
The next day, my mind was going back and forth. I'll just wait until my man comes home. You should get it done now. So, you can start the healing process. He will be home soon. Those thoughts were battling in my mind all day. But, I didn't want to be a chicken. My cousin calls, picks me and the baby up and we are off. We drop my son off and head to Extreme. I'm calm the whole way. I just couldn't stop talking so much. I wanted this piercing for so long.
We parked and saw people standing outside. I thought it was a wait. But, they were dead. They asked me what I wanted, piercing or tattoo. I told them. I wanted my lip pierced. I filled out the usual paperwork and handed them my i.d. The guy went to go prep, while I payed at the front. I'm still not nervous. The guy was ready.( I totally forgot to ask him his name. I'm usually good about that.) My cousin and I went to the piercing room. I washed my mouth out with mouthwash. He did everything correctly. He showed me all new materials and went to work. He changed his gloves regularly. (Forgot to tell you guys, I come here for all my piercings.) He pierced my lip and I barely felt anything. If anything, it felt like someone pinching your lip. The clamps were painless too.
I was very suprised! I really thought it was going to hurt. He told me aftercare instructions. And, we were on our way out the door.
The placement was just right. It is on the right side. It is so cute! I'm a happy camper! My cousin dropped me off at my mom's house. My parents loved the piercing. I hoped they would! But, it didn't matter either way. I'm a grown woman. We ate. Then, I picked up my mouthwash and soap and headed home.
The piercing helped me let out my emotions. I feel a whole lot better. And, good news my man is coming home early. He has no idea. He will soon find out. It's a painless piercing!!! So, go for it! And, remember placement is everything.
