I have been into body modification for the last 4 years of my life. I have been piercing myself for a long time, from conches, to tongue. I have even experimented with scarification, unusual piercings, and even some homemade tattoos. I pierced my own tongue when i was 14, it was my birthday present to myself and a shock to my parents. People told me "O, it won't swell! it will hurt so bad, don't do it!" I said screw you and I did it with a "self" sterilized needle, and it healed no problem. But I do warn others not to try this at home. It could be dangerous. I had done a lot of research on procedure and aftercare, I did not enter the field stupid.
At A Glance Author Lord velcro Contact Lord velcro@bme.anon When Six months ago Artist Eddy Studio Ink Link Location West palm I later pierced cartilage, eyebrow, septum, nostril, cheek, bridge, and my member. and I was healing fine and looking great and I started to get cocky. I pierced my Right conch and it was crooked and it pissed me off. I later tried to pierce it again, but I found it extremely difficult to pierce right ears when you are right handed. I kept messing up and I was getting scared. Had I lost my perfect record? I wanted to pierce my tongue again but I got scared of the risks.
I wanted a second tongue ring because the first one was just awesome. It got attention that I really didn't want but it was nice to have. It got me many hookups, mainly for the fact that back then not many people had kissed someone with a pierced tongue. I had this crazy idea to get it pierced again, stretch them both to the same gauge (my front was only 10 at the time, its 4 now) and put a horseshoe in it and leave it. I also wanted to see if it would make that much of a difference in bed, as everyone says it does. It really hasn't, mainly because I haven't got much action, but most the people I have experiences with like it. I think men like it more tho.
So I convinced my mom first.That was hard. We battled for almost 3 months, and she gave in when I promised a few things, which I didn't keep and I feel bad now, but anyway she said yes, but I had to pay for it. That was lovely(NOT!), working for piercings, when I could do them myself, but I was so nervous.
So I went to my local shop after I had the money for it. Ink Link was the name,and I chatted with some people about it, the risks, and aftercare now that I had two and I wasn't sure if it would be the same. I migrated over to talk to Twitch, and he recommended Eddy,and I knew EddY. So I had my tongue pierced a second time. I was afraid of hitting a nerve or vain.(I guess I had bigger balls the first time) He marked it, pierced it and everything was fine until I looked in the mirror. It was crooked. I attempted to say it was crooked but it had already swollen up, so I wrote "it is crooked and off center idiot" on the back of a napkin. He replied, " just pull on it the way you want it to go and it will be fine. I said ok and walked out.
The first day, I really couldn't tell because it was so swollen, but it looked crooked still , I hadn't even dared to try and eat anything, it hurt to swallow water. The second day I looked profile ways at my mirror and noticed it was not vertical, that pissed me off.But I did manage to take a cheeseburger and shoved it in the blender and drink it. (bad idea) it was so thick it didn't do anything but pull on it. I wanted to die at this point. Im fat and I couldn't eat, and it was crooked.
The next day I actually tried having a conversation instead of grunts or moans, and It hurt so bad, the two bottom balls clicked together and caused a vibration I didn't like. It felt like someone had shoved an elephant in my open wound.I had managed to eat Ice cream and mashed Potatoes.About three days later when the swelling had gone down and I was fat from Ice cream, I looked in the mirror and it was worse than I thought. I went back in to the parlor and talked to twitch, who informed me Eddy was on vacation or some crap. So I talked to the other piercer, Tommy. I would rather have tommy pierce it again, it but I don't think he will. I trust him, because I had my mother get her tongue pierced and Tommy did it and it is perfect.
It is still crooked to this day, and Eddy is willing to pierce it again, and I am also, I just don't want to go through that again right now, not to mention I don't trust him with a needle. I would like to finish my ears and navel projects first. I really wish I hadn't been a pussy and pierced it myself. it would be fine right now. I trust myself for some odd reason............
