P Day

So

Today was the day

The day I get my piercing done

For my birthday

My birthday gift to myself 

My sister and I set off early this morning

The studios name is Zombie Dolls

And is about half an hour from my house

From the start

I had butterflies in my tummy

I like to think that I have a high pain threshold

Having been through many many dental surgeries

Pancreatitis 

And sticking many needles in to myself over the course of my addiction

I like to think I'm a tough cookie in that respect

We arrived in town

And parked 

It took us a while to actually find the place

But we did 

Eventually 

The place itself was so cool

All black

With black and white paintings on the walls

There was a young girl on reception 

She told us to take a seat

And Terry would be out to see us shortly

Terry being the piercer

A couple of minutes later

She came to greet us

A really pretty girl

About forty I would guess

With strawberry blonde hair 

And covered in tattoos 

I liked her immediately

And the place

Sometimes 

These places  can be intimidating

But this place had a lovely atmosphere

And a nice vibe

I told Terry that I wanted to get my labret done

Which is just below the bottom lip

She took a look at my labret and gums

And said that it wouldn't really work as my lip was so low it wouldn't be seen

And it would also effect my gums

I was really disappointed that I couldn't get it done

But Terry suggested that I get the bit of skin between my nose and my upper lip done

I wasn't too keen on this 

Then my sister suggested that I get my nose done

I liked that idea 

And decided to go for it

I wasn't leaving that place until I had something pierced!

I sat up on the table

And Terry prepared her tools

I decided to go for a small ring

Instead of a stud

She assured me that it wasn't too painful

And that it would all be over in a split second 

Then she did it 

She pierced my nose

And holy hell people

It didn't half hurt!

My gut reaction was to pull her hands away from me 

But thankfully the pain didn't last

And it was all over before I knew it

Terry secured the ring in my nose 

And I went to the mirror to have a look

I love it!

It's subtle 

Just what I was looking for

Terry suggested that I don't get any more piercings on my face

As my face is 'too soft'

And suggested that I go to town on my ears

One thing is for sure 

I will definitely be back for more

I've been bitten by the bug

Terry herself was amazing

She talked non stop for the whole time we were there

At one point she noticed my psoriasis

And have me the number of a homeopath who works wonders

She told us how she used to suffer with depression

And how she tried everything

Including medication

But nothing helped until she went to this man

It was funny

It was like she knew that we were struggling with some of the same issues she was 

It was like she sensed it somehow

You know how they say people can recognise their own traits in others

Well that was what it was like

I was so relieved when the whole thing was over

And do delighted that I had gone through with it

My sister was snapping away on my phone the whole way through

A picture paints a thousand words....
