One day I was browsing ear pieces on BME, and came across Industrial.
At A Glance Author Hannah-louise Contact u-look-like-a-dog@hotmail.co.uk When A week ago Artist Elly Studio Fused body piercing. Location Peterborough
I fell in love with it the moment I laid my eyes on it; I looked it up, and found loads of interesting stories. And apparently it HURTS really bad and swells quite a bit too.
I asked what my mum thought of the industrial pictures and she loved it, she thought it looks really sweet and pretty (I asked if she would take me to get it done she said yes so I was very happy at that point), my Dad on the other hand didn't like it as much and thought it looked awful, but who cares what my Dad thinks it's not his body, and with my other mods, he hates them to but he said there isn't much I can do.
Anyway a couple of nights before I was due to get pierced i told some friends about what my next piercing will be. My good friend Chris said "I've looked Scaffold up and by the looks of it the best and least painful way of doing it is either with a catching tube or with two needles." She is really good with piercings; she has some really good ones as well.
The night before I was due to be pierced, I mailed my piercer to see if all was well, and how much it would cost, aftercare and all that shit. She mailed my back saying "hi Hannah, happy birthday, scaffold is £ 15 and the usual salt soaks twice daily, see you tomorrow love elly x"
Bed time I could hardly get to sleep, I must of got up about 4 times for the toilet, in the end I just took my sleeping tablet, I slowly drifted of , dreaming of what my scaffold would look like, and how my experience would go.
The morning of my Piercing.
I woke up late!!! , went to the toilet, had breakfast the usual morning ritual. I put on my best outfit which was my cute little orange top and my snazzy jeans with My DC's. 11:36 we were ready to go. In the car I started to feel sick, properly with nerves, so mum stopped of at the shop to get me some chocolate buttons, nom, nom, nom, we were nearly at the Shop, just needed to park, get the kids out, pay, go down in the lift. Etc.
Parked and in Fused, Elly greets me and says "it's a scaffold you want doing yeah?"
Yes I would like an industrial please I reply.
I sign the consent forms and of I go to the piercing room, she measures up my ear and told me she might have to use bioflex because my ears are so small (They are only 5.5cm big with a 8mm tunnel), she talked me through what she was going to do.
She decided to use a barbell instead because she found one the perfect size.
She told me to breathe in and said "the needle is going in" an awful pain shot through my ear I gripped on to the ledge of the chair .Knuckles going white she says she is going to do the next hole,
Okay next hole, the pain was even worse I let out a little yelp.
Jewelry is in and my ear is throbbing, but I am Pleased.
Elly shows me my ear in the mirror it looks brilliant I'm really happy.
Elly said "it really complements your 6 lobe piercings"
Two weeks later it's doing great, still very swollen and sore. But is doing very well, I can already sleep on it fine, I'm also sticking to my cleaning really well witch I didn't expect so I'm really pleased with myself. I love it so much it is defiantly my favorite piercing so far, after my frowny.
I have had loads of comments on how well it looks, this includes: ": O Whoop looks great^_^"
And "I don't usually like em, but it looks great, even my mum agreed" The only problem I had with it was when my little sister Emily Grabbed it and made it bleed that really hurt and made me cry too sort of. I was very pleased with the reaction it has gotten. Snug piercing next but that's a completely different story.
3 weeks later, It is healing great I have had no other problems with it. It is still noticeably swollen, well the top hole is anyway, but the bottom hole is perfectly fine in every way Yeah it still Discharges but that's got to be expected as its only 3 weeks old.
I am still in love with it ^_^, and I'm Still Cleaning it regularly so it should heal in no time whatsoever. I'm looking forward to my next piercing but until then no more reviews. The End.
