Well let me tell you, yesterday was my 18th birthday and needless to say I was super excited. I grew up with a family who, yeah they're open minded to a lot of things, but with piercings and tattoos if I ever got one, they would kill me in the evilest of ways. But even knowing that, I still got my monroe done. And I'm happy even though I got yelled at but that's at the end.
At A Glance Author Chia Contact cute1chia@hotmail.com When It just happened Artist Stella Studio Bison Tattoos Location Miami, FL I never had any piercings done but my ears so I didn't know if I had to go ahead of time or not so two days before my birthday I went to the shop I was going to get it done and I walked in and asked if I needed to schedule it in or just walk in or what. Oh my god, the place smelled so clean I felt like I was being sterilized by stepping in there. Stella, my piercer, told me no but she was really nice about it but, me, still feeling like jack... for even asking dragged myself back to the car. I was really impressed by how clean the place and nice she was so on my birthday I wanted to get it done there. Before I went to my mom's work, who is a kinder teacher, so all her students can sing me happy birthday and afterwards i was expecting to head back to my house sleep a little bit and go at around 5 (that all happened at like 1:30) but my driver, aka my boyfriend, decided 'you know what screw it lets just go now' thinking that he meant like 'ok we'll go to my house I get my money and we head over'. No, we were going over there rite now. Yeah I was pretty much pooping my pants, I felt this whole crazy thing of emotions, I was excited, scared, nervous, etc. because I was planning to get my tongue and monroe done. We went over got down my heart was at my thaort and I told her what I wanted done, my tongue and monroe, and she told me that since she just got her jewelry in she was autoclaving them and to come back in 2 hours. I was totally relieved.
We went back to my house and I knocked out. My boyfriend and I woke up at 3:30 (almost 2 hours) and I told my mom that we were going out to a birthday dinner. We left. This time going over there I was more calm and chilled. She called me up front and told me that she needed to see my tongue to know if mine was center piercing friendly, to my luck, no, I supposedly have a rare tongue that has the vein running right smack in the middle of my tongue so unless I wanted I wanted an off center piercing she wouldn't recommend it. So I was left to be sad about it and got over it rather quickly and filled out the paper work handed in my ID and waited for maybe 3 minutes and headed to the back. I sat down in the dentist-like chair, like for real I read stories here and they always said that, I didn't know if they meant literally or just figuratively but I'm almost hundred percent sure it is a dentist chair... but anyways. I sat down looked at everything she was doing, used the mouthwash which wasn't bad just like anything else you would use, and she got the clamps, my boyfriend was filming it, I didn't feel the clamps and right before she pierced I made a painful looking face but for real, I didn't feel anything, I thought I would at least feel like a pinch or something, nothing! I even asked her if it was done. Next was that needle chilling near my eye, she put a cork on it but still wouldn't be cool if something just randomly hit my eye. I got my jewelry in, looked in the mirror and oh my god YES! so happy. When I got up I thought I was going to feel the high everyone mentions and nothing! So I walked over to the front, she handed me my aftercare thing I listened and she told me to come back in like 3 weeks to change the huge long bar sticking out of my face to a nice shorter one, surprise surprise.
Since I didn't tell my mom I was going to get a piercing I didn't want to head home so we went to the mall and shopped a bit and after like 2 hours we headed home. When my mom saw it she was super mad. She actually didn't talk to me for a few hours and then after people came to sing me happy birthday she was forced to and now its back to not talking to me. I know she doesn't completely hate its just the fact that I got it behind her back and that she thinks i'll be working in a smoothie place for the rest of my life. I already explained to her that at least its not a tattoo that I can take it out and it'll heal and go away and look like I never had a piercing there to begin with. I don't know why, but people seem to think that piercings leave a huge gapping hole in your face forever.... why? whatever. So I'm super happy with it! it's really cute! If you want one get it! For sure!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And if the pain is stopping you don't worry, my pain tolerance isn't high but not low either so it really didn't hurt at all I'm not lieing!
Next I'm planning to do a bit of a project on my belly button. YAY! I'll post that up for you soon!
