Ever since I was 12 I've wanted something other then my ears pierced. At first I was really interested in tongue piercings. But my parents would always say no to a tongue piercing. I really wanted that or my eyebrow. My cousin had her tongue pierced so that's when I first got into piercings. She would always tell me her tongue didn't hurt. So I figured the other ones didn't either. Also a lot of girls in my school were getting their belly button's pierced. I thought it was really neat. There is such a variety of piercings, but I really wanted my eyebrow. My tongue was out of the question until I turned 18. But the question was,what kind of eyebrow piercing? I wasn't sure if I wanted a horizontal or standard eyebrow. But I finally decided I wanted a standard eyebrow. My parents asked me what I wanted for my 15th birthday, so I figured I'd ask them if I could get it done. My mom was a little hesitant, but she eventually agreed. Now all she had to do was convince my dad into le tting me. This would be fun, my dad thinks piercings are disgusting. This was not going to be easy as I had hoped for in convincing him.
At A Glance Author Karli Contact Burningwhisper69@aol.com When A month ago Studio Peter's Tattoo Parlor Location Danbury My mom talked to my dad one day about it and he was really reluctant to let me get it done. It took my mom a week before she finally got have a conversation about it, and for him to say yes. My dad said yes, I was so amazed that he actually agreed. It was too good to be true. I was getting my eyebrow pierced after wanting it done for 3 years. I thought I was going to cry!. Well I had planned to go to this place Iron Butterfly because I had heard good things about it. And my friend went there to get her eyebrow done and said they were really sterile. But unfortunately it was closed the day I wanted to go. So I had to wait until next week. Now I am a really impatient person. So waiting another week in my mind, was literally driving me insane. All I wanted was to just get it over with so I could get the anxiety out. I would get feelings of the needle going into my eyebrow, thats how bad I wanted it. So next Saturday comes around and there ended up being a big snow storm, Peter' s Tattoo was closed. So I begged my mom for hours to take me on Monday after school. And she said she'd think about it. So I just figured she would probably change her mind, and tried not to get my hopes up. That didn't work. I got myself into believing she was going to take me after school. Now I had to get it done soon or I was going to flip out.
Monday comes and I go to school thinking about if I'd be getting my eyebrow done or not. I wanted the day to end, but classes were going by so slow! Well school ended eventually and I got home. I asked my mom to bring me and she said yes! How cool is that, to not have to wait another week to get it done. I was so happy. When we got to the place I started looking at all the jewelry in the glass case. Then the guy came out and asked to see both mine and my moms I.D. The only I.D I had was my school one, but it was fine.Then he brought me into a small back room and sat me down on a chair. I was so excited and kind of nervous. I heard it hurt a lot. And the question repeated in my mind: Will it look good? He marked my eyebrow with a purple marker and then asked me if the placement was ok. I liked it so he placed the clamp on, which didn't hurt, and then shoved the needle through. It didn't hurt at all! Then I felt blood running down my face and my mom almost fainted. The look on her face was priceless. The piercer put this antiseptic goo on it and it stopped bleeding. I then looked in the mirror and was so happy to see too silver balls in my eyebrow. Then looking in the corner of my eye and seeing the ball, it was amazing! Then we went back into the front room and gave the guy $40. I finally got pierced, my first real piercing besides my ears.
If anyone of you readers is thinking about getting an eyebrow piercing, I would highly recommend it. It is completely painless and well worth it! I guess I can't really say it's painless because everyone's pain tolerance is different. Mine happens to be high. But it's just a pinch and then your done! Then your left with an awesome piercing that will grow on you and you'll begin to love more and more each day.
