Well my birthday was just recently. (April 17th) And my mom finally decided I can get my lip pierced. Ever since I was in the 7th grade I wanted to stand out, be unique and I thought a nice eyebrow piercing would do it. But then a girl in my class got her eye brow pierced so I dropped the idea. I wanted something NOBODY in my school had. So I settled for a lip ring.
At A Glance Author Anjellica Contact xxchickenwing@netscape.net When It just happened It took me a pretty long time to beg for my eyebrow to be pierced, and when my parents finally said I could I didn't want it anymore. So when I brought up my lip...my parents automatically said no. I decided that I was going to go to a place that didn't ask for parental permission. I found quite a few but never had the courage to go get it done.
Well 2 years later, I convinced my mom to let me get a monroe piercing (even though I think it's ugly). She said it had to be small and a diamond so nobody could really see it. So I ask for it to be on the bottom. (Little did she know it was really a lip piercing I wanted) She said no. So I decided to go for the monroe but fool her and then just get my lip done. Well she never took me to get the monroe done so I asked for the lip again. She finally said okay but it had to be on the side.
We were actually arguing about it on the street and we even asked someone which would look better. The guy said 'Who the fuck cares, just get it done!' So that helped. That was a year before I got my lip done.
I started to get anxious because when I started high school I saw tons of girls with the labret/monroe. Nobody had lip piercings so I really wanted to be unique out of all the other girls. So I started asking my friends if they would take me to a piercing parlor that doesn't ask for parental permission. They all said sure, but yet again I was too scared to actually go.
So on my birthday I recieved two hundred dollars. My mom actually offered to take me to get it done. I was so happy, but I was really scared too. I'm scared of pain, and after seeing a video on youtube it kind of turned me off to the piercing.
My mom just decided to let me go with my friends to The Village. Infamous for having tons of piercers willing to give you any piercing just for a bit of cash. So we went and my friend took me to this small little area. A big Indian guy who I never got the name of took me inside and asked me what I wanted. I automatically said 'My Lip.' So he told me to sit down. I was so friggen nervous its not even funny. He asked me where I wanted it and I wasnt sure. I always wanted it in the middle, but I asked the guy and he thought the side was hot. And my friend Jesus kept telling me to get it done on the side too. So, I said the side.
I was so scared as I watched him pick up the ring. I was expecting a huge gigantic needle, but he only pulled out a moderately small one. I was still pretty scared so I took my friend's hand and started squeezing it. The guy dotted my lip with a blue marker and asked if that was a good enough. I wanted to get it over with I quickly said yes. The guy proceeded to cleanse the needle. Then he held it near my lip. My sister held my camera phone ready to snap a quick pic, but I started to laugh. So the guy told me to stop, but I started laughing again. So I guess the guy got fed up and just quickly shoved the needle through. It felt like a pinch, and I was kind of shocked. I didnt realize he was putting the ring in either I was just shocked he shoved the needle through without warning me. And then all of a sudden it was over. I was pretty happy. I thought I looked fabulous. But I couldn't talk or laugh.
I've had it for about 3 days now and its been pretty irritating. Everyone keeps making me laugh, and I cant really eat. And all of my teachers have been making fun of me. Asking what I'm rebelling against and saying 'Hey you know you have metal in your face?' Pretty annoying. But I like it alot. I just cant wait to take it out and put in a stud. But this is my first ever piercing experience and Im really happy about the outcome!!
