When I was three years old I wanted my ears pierced, I begged my dad. He would not hear of it but I was probably one of the only girls around who had not had their ears pierced when they where babies. After a while he broke down and promised that for my forth birthday I could have my ears pierced. It happened and I was happy.

Fast forward to March 2009. I got it in my head I wanted my ears re-pierced, with out a gun this time. I had my older cousin, a nurse, redo my standard lobes and add in a what I now know to be a vertical helix. Ever since then I have pierced something at least every two to three months. It is a hobby and I love it.
About two months ago while pierce searching I came across a girl with a CBR hanging down in her mouth, it was referred to as a Smiley and so I searched. I loved it right away! I knew I wanted it, I do not know why or how I knew I was going to attempted to pierce it myself but at that time I already knew it would be my first attempted self oral piercing. It is abnormal, something people will ask questions about unlike the common tongue piercings.
The Christmas holiday approached and more and more I thought about needing another piercing. My last had been in September and I was due for another. I would go in the bathroom and look in the mirror, thinking but never able to bring myself to it.
When it comes to piercing myself something has had to happen or I have to be in a really into it mood. It has to build up or I can not do it, so the holidays are just right to help things along. Being around so many people and seeing all the happiness made me sick and just kicked it in overdrive.
Christmas night after everyone left my aunt's I came home, leaving my mother and sister there, to have some fun. I got "happy" and while talking to a friend online it hit me, piercing time! Went to the bathroom, got everything I needed and stared into the mirror.
I ended up chickening out three times, even consitered doing a lobe, before finely saying "I am doing this!". I put the needle to the skin and pushed, I felt nothing. Push a little more, tink, through one layer and no pain, push a little more, through second layer and no pain, push some more... push some more. What the hell? Is this elastic? It just kept stretching and stretching until it was half an inch from the middle layer. I finely got it through and a stud in.
It looked great and straight so I came and told said friend. She does not even have her ears pierced so she is a bit clueless.
I talked a little funny but after some practice I was good. I checked it and what??? It was so crooked! But through the fog smart Samantha yelled through "It is just because it is swelling". Oh yeah :/
I was worried for when the time came when I had to go get my mother and sister. I did not know who all would be at my aunts. I kept talking making sure I was not giving it away before I went. I was still a little tipsy when she called for me to come get her, I know driving was bad but it was a private road and if I wrecked no one else would be on it to be hurt. I got down there, run into the house, I was bouncing off the walls unable to sit still, and sat. It ended up that was laughed our heads off for almost an hour! If I had of had a ring in I would had been caught, but no one saw anything.
It has been 5 days, I added Frowny last night, and it is great. I got a straight barbell for it, 16 gauge, and no one has yet to see it. I had no side effects after it, unlike the Frowny, so unless the bar slides down and shows when I talk no one should find out unless I tell. I am going to look into a smaller barbell, ASAP.
I want to put a ring in but until I tell the mother I am keeping it hid. Best not to reveal such things when she is in a bad mood, if it last very long at least I will be 18 in 6 months and then it will not matter.
I am very happy with it! My first DIY oral piercing went well, the second went ok but the frowny is so much more painful. I say go for the smiley if you want it, if you want the frowny think it through first. Never self pierce without proper knowledge.
