Let's just say that my Scrumper wasn't exactly planned.

I was walking around at the Oslo Tattoo Convention with a friend of mine, just looking around checking stuff out.
Looking at tattoos and piercings and basically just enjoying ourselves.
I wasn't planning on taking neighter a tattoo or a piercing, mostly because I didn't have the money to take one then. Although I really wanted one. I just didn't know what. I've always been kind of a wuss when it comes to piercings, cos' I have this thing that I am sure they will hurt more than I can handle.
And I didn't want one in my face. I wanted something I atleast could 'hide' a little bit.
We went passed a thousand of piercing stands but I didn't want anything they had in their pictures.
Not a madonna, not a medusa, not a labret.. I didn't know what I wanted, I just knew I wanted something I could in some way 'hide' when I wanted to. In a way. :o

Then my friend suddenly decided to get herself a tattoo.
Which was ok with me, except the fact that I had to go around all by myself and be more or less bored.
I mean, there were lot of fun things to look at, but it isn't much fun, when you don't have anyone to walk around with.
I walked around, bought some plugs, bought some jewlery, bought some clothes, watched some 'fire shows', ate, took a cigarette, and so on and so on.
So, I was walking around, all by myself mind you, and I stumbeled over House of Pains stand.
They had a lot of photos hanging around, and when I saw the picture of the Scrumper i absolutely fell in love with it.
(Later I noticed that they've had pictures of it at all the stands, I just hadn't noticed. Heh. Weird.)
It was kind of subtile, but it does show a little bit. A piercing match made in heaven. Then I saw the sign "All piercings 400nok" (Or was it 500?)Anyway, it was pretty cheap, and I desperatly wanted to get me a scrumper, so I ran to the atm and checked my bankaccount, and found out that, yes, I deffinently could afford getting this wonderfull piercing.
Hey, who cares, I'd rather get a piercing, then have food for the rest of the month. :D
So I took out some money and went back with a big smile on my face.
A little bit nervous and excited, but determined to get this wonderful piercing.

There was no waitingline so I got talking to a piercer straight away, and we decided that I was getting my scrumper.
I had never taken any piercings in my face/mouth before, so I was pretty nervous although I tried not to be, cos' I had heard that Scrumpers werent painfull at all.
We talked abit first, about the effect it might have on my teeth and so on. And that it had about a %40-50 chance of growing out. That bummed me out a bit, but I was decided that if it was on it's way of growing out, I'd take it out and go get another one. And if that one was growing out I'd do the same again and again and again. :)
So I laied down on the bench and the piercer was getting ready.
A girl help my lip up and then we were set to go.
They were all out of clamps tho, so they had to do it without one.

Then there was the take a deep breath and relax procedure, and then the needle got pushed through.
And I am NOT kidding, I almost didn't feel a thing.
Almost dissapointing, cos' I wan't go get that little kick when you get pierced, but this didn't hurt a bit.
So I got up, got told the cleansing procedure-thingy, payed, and was on my way.

EVERYONE should get a little scrumper.
It is a beautiful & charming piercing, and it just looks great.
And the best part (or worst depending on how you see it), it didn't hurt at all.
I still got a little adrenaline kick tho, which is good.
I have gotten tons of compliments about it, and you've gotta love that. :)
My parents hate it tho' , cos' they think it'll fuck up my gumbs and my teeth.
I haven't noticed anything strange happening in my mouth yet, so I doubt I will get gumbretraction, but who knows.
I try to take good care of it, and I still clean it regularely so I hope everything will be ok. :)

And who cares how many stupid people hate it, as long as I absolutely more than anything love it??? :)
