Hey there this is my story about my smiley piercing!
At A Glance Author bloodydripping_spider Contact spiders_web_@hotmail.com When Three months ago Artist don't know Studio dunno Location Funchal Portugal I'm 15 and about August time I went on holiday to see my family and friends, I was rather bored by the second day as I was missing my boyfriend and my best friends, so I arranged to into Funchal with my cousin the next day.
The next morning I and my cousin woke up a bit later than planned and ended up in town by about 1ish. We wondered around a bit looking for things that I could buy to take back with me *sadly I found nothing*
We were wondering down this street and I noticed this tooth gem thing in a window or beauty shop I dragged my cousin over to look when all of a sudden this girl who looked a bit familiar walked past and said:
"You're in Portugal you supposed to be specking Portuguese!"
I turn around and look at her and it's one of my friends daisy (known her years and finally I see her again after a year) I was shocked! She intrudes me to her current boyfriend and decides to meet up an hour and a half later to do a bit more shopping and catch up. After wondering around my cousin and I meet Daisy back at that beauty shop. After while of mindless chatter and shoe tries I mention to daisy that I liked her ear stretching. She asks
"Does it look real?" and I reply with a shocked yes
Later while we were sat in a bar over looking Funchal she tells me it fake until she can get a real one, but she does tell me that her friend has her nape pierced which I was amazed at because I love all Piercing's. After our drinks were drank and we were back shopping Daisy runs into a friends from school that tells me about this piercing studio that does 5 year tattoos I was intrigued and wanted to know more, so we set off on our way to the studio. As we went on our way I turned to daisy and Said I wouldn't mind having my smiley pierced she tells me that it's a cool idea and I should have had it done before. I had been thinking about it for over a year but as my dad wasn't that keen on Piercing's or any thing to do with them I always had to hind them.
We finally got the piercing studio and I felt at home I got daisy to ask the price and how much it would be. It came to 40 euros and they could do it in 5 minutes if I wanted it. I didn't really have time to think so I said yes. I asked my cousin if she wanted to come into the room with me while he pierced me and she said no as she is really scared of tings like that even though she wants a few herself. So Daisy said she would come in with me.
As the guy came called me in, he asked what do you want in it a bar or hoop, I replied bar. (So that was as my family couldn't see it) So I was a bit hot by then and worried, so I sat in the chair and he looked at my smiley to make sure it was ok to be pierced I would think. I looked at daisy and told her to hold me hand she did so at once. Lol
So then I watched as he put on his gloves, cut open the packaging around the needle opened up the pack that held the bar and put it all together, and then he told me to lie on the bed.
I closed my eyes as the man told me to lift up my top lip. Then I grabbed daisy's hand as I felt the man say
"It's like a scratching feeling" I took a deep breath in and felt the needle push it's way through my smiley!
The only words that came out of my mouth were: Fuck and shit for the next five minutes as it hurt a lot!!!!!
I didn't cry or any thing even though I was a bit freaked out when daisy told me it was bleeding. The guy told me if I calmed down then it would be easier for him to work and then it would take my mind off it which kind of worked as daisy told me that it looked really cool and that I should just think about being at a gig of my favourite band. Which work as well I could feel the guy struggle with the balls that had to be put on each side. Finally it was done and I was so happy, you know that feeling you get after a piercing experience. I wanted to run but he told me to sit down, then he pulled out some thing to clean it with but hen he changed his mind again because it was wrong for my piercing it was more for a tongue piercing o he told me to clean it 3 times a day with salt water. So I did so.
At the moment I don't have my smiley pierced any more as I got bored of it and as I couldn't show it off I thought there was no point. At the moment I'm looking into industrial and septum Piercing's as it's coming up to my 16th birthday.
But really if you don't have parental consent it can be very bad as you lose your parents trust (trust me I know)
Take care and Happy Piercing!!!!!
