So, with my journey to feel me like me again, the hubby suggested a perfect (early) Valentine's Day gift... to get my lip repierced! Triple woot!
I never wanted to take out my beautiful little lip piercing first place; it was a fluke when it fell out and closed up. I can remember that dramatic moment of being at work and desperately trying to find the fallen ball to no avail. It was so depressing! I've felt sad about it being gone everyday since, although I saw it as fate making my mother's wish of a lip piercing free wedding come true (that lucky lucky woman). So, I sucked it up and celebrated my wedding without it. The moment the wedding was over I couldn't stop thinking about it. My tattoo kept the urge for a new (old) body modification at bay... but anyone who likes piercings and tattoos knows that the little devil rises his awesomely pierced head not before long.
The people who know me know that I'm not a wild and crazy person. You'll almost never find me out at the bar or a club partying. I'm not the typical 21 year old in anyone's head. I'm mean, first of all I'm married (and not because I got knocked up). Unless I married a party animal (and anyone who knows my geek of a husband will laugh hysterically at the notion) there's very little chance of that happening. Yet, I have my vices. I love body modifications. There are many I love that I would never get, and admire from afar; there are also the ones that I can't seem to live without. My lip piercing is one of them.
I mean, even on a lazy yoga pant and hoodie day, you at least carry with you SOME semblance of style.
So, as with other things recently ;), I'm going to stop moping around and being all Eeyore about it. Thanks to the hubby I'm going to do something about it.
My face will feel like me again with a little extra hole. I made my appointment for next Tuesday at 5:00. This time, I hope they will have my proper hypo-allergenic jewelry all ordered and prepared. What happened last time will not happen again. This time I will be pierced with jewelry that won't give me an allergic reaction because I'm too impatient to wait for proper jewelry. Oh impatient me. I will beat you out of me one day!
Fun picture:
A pretty b/w of the day I got my lip done the first time:
I can't wait until you get your piercing. You seem so damn excited :D
ReplyDeleteYay! Girl, for the record, I think you look HOT in that pic!
ReplyDeleteAlso, be careful with anyone who says jewelry is "hypo-allergenic". Any jewelry for a body piercing should be made from surgical grade steel. If its not, then don't use it!!
I used to work as a piercer so if you have any questions just ask!
Thanks! I was about 80 pounds smaller then, so I'm hoping to get back there and farther!
ReplyDeleteThe funny part is, I actually get an allergic reaction on fresh piercings with surgical steel. I can wear it for short periods (about 1 day) before it gets red and sore in closed piercings though. Not a pretty site on fresh ones.
The only thing I can put in a fresh piercing is titanium.
While piercing, how did piercings that were pierced directly over a well healed previous piercing? I'm just hoping it'll heal up nicely.
