So this big city thing is having an interesting effect on me...
I have wanted to get another ear piercing for a few months now. I have had 2 holes in my left ear for 2 years and wanted to get another hole in my right ear; it was time to even up the number of piercings on each side.
So, Saturday I headed out for a morning stroll to learn more about this fabulous city, and I walked past a tattoo shop and had to take a peek in. Once I got inside, I decided this was the place to get my ear piercing...so strangely enough, I told the lady I wanted to have my tragus pierced! I'm so oldtowne, she kinda looked at me funny, but sat me down and prepped me for my first cartilage piercing.
I was expecting a piercing gun, so when she started taking the sterile wrapping off a large piercing needle, I panicked and almost got up and left, but felt entirely wussy assed about that idea. So, with a very large lump in my throat, and fingers like ice cicles, I took a deep breath, and as I let it out she stuck the needle through my tragus and put the hoop in. Yikes!! That was uncomfortable. But after it was done and I looked in the mirror, I was so happy with the way it looked. Totally the best piercing I have had.
I guess some people think it is a bit extremist, but I think it's pretty, and those of you that know me know that I have strong dork tendencies, so this kind of balances things out a bit ;)
