Soooo, ya...I had been trying to decide on another piercing...hubby REALLY wants me to get my nipples done, but I told him he has to get his done first! HA! I did have 3 lobe piercings in each ear, and a navel piercing initially. I have attempted to get a basic cartilage piercing twice (went to two places that used those nasty "guns", not an actual piercer) and it was a nasty germy disaster after about a month.
I knew I wanted to do a 4th lobe piercing on each side, but I also wanted to kick it up a notch/step outside the box/dare to do something unexpected..well, the other day I was listening to an Industrial band called KMFDM (fucking awesome, btw...think Rammstein meets NIN), and it hit me...I HAD to get an industrial piercing; ie: that big long bar that goes through your cartilage with a ball on either end. So I walked into my friend Adam's shop, Ikonic Ink, on Tuesday and did just that. Not gonna lie, it fucking hurt. Like, I'd rather give birth again before I'd do this a second time hurt. And that's saying something considering I didn't have an epidural during childbirth the first time (TMI? Sorry.).
Now, the people who have known me a long time who don't know or understand my wilder side will probably think I've gone nuts and wonder what the fuck would possess me to "mutilate" my ear in such a drastic manner. Maybe it's because, as I said in my first blog, I'm sick of being traditional, or maybe I've been through something painful and want to feel something else...or maybe I just like the way it looks and wanted to get it, or maybe it's all three!
So it's official, I love industrial music and industrial piercings. Hopefully this will post and then I can go try for the twentieth time to apply and hopefully be a hopeful or one day go pink.
PS- Yes, I'm aware there are no pictures. Take that up with the help desk. I'm doing everything I should be doing to get the picture in my blog, and I get a fucking error every time. I also can't apply as a model, post regular pictures, or get out of the blog section once I start writing or trying to post. Likely I will be totally canceling this profile and starting a completely brand new one. I'll note follows/followers so I don't lose any of you. See you on the other side!
