Well this experience is one that I hope nobody else is stupid enough to do. I cannot believe that I was that ignorant. When I was about twelve I started to want to have my navel pierced. I had done it a few times with a safety pin, I know that is stupid too, but I never got it deep enough and it always ended up being irritated and migrating. So finally for my birthday I decided that what I wanted was to get my navel done and actually be able to keep it. I couldn't get anything done professionally because I did not and still do not have parental consent. My dad is a real asshole about that. Needles make him nauseous or whatever.
At A Glance Author Celeste Artist a friend Studio was not in a studio Location elkhart,indiana Well the day came to get my navel pierced. I was really nervous because I had never been pierced anywhere other than my ears. Come to think about it I think that at that time the only piercings I had were one hole in each ear lobe. I knew it was going to hurt but I did not care because I really wanted it done. So, I laid down and my friend was getting ready to pierce me. They got a wet washcloth for me to bite down on if it hurt really bad. My friend sat on top of me and attempted to pierce me. See the really stupid thing that I can't believe that I let someone use on me, especially a navel, is a piercing gun. As she proceeded to push on the gun I thought that I was going to freak. It hurt so bad. I knew that it was going to hurt but I did not think that it was going to hurt that bad. I had pierced my navel with a safety pin before but it had never hurt that bad. I suppose part of the reason that it hurt so bad is because someone else was doing it. For me, things always seem to hurt more when other people are inflicting the pain on me. The main reason, however, that it hurt so bad is because it was a stud trying to go through my navel. Piercing guns really do hurt a lot more than piercing needles do. The fact that my skin is really tough probably did not help it out much either. So I laid there for a few more minutes, which seemed like eternity, waiting for them to tell me that it was done. Just my luck, I did not get to hear my friends tell me that it was done, instead I got to hear them say "uh oh". After lying there in all that pain I got to hear that. I was really pissed off. Apparently my skin was way too tough for that little piercing stud to go through because the stem of that stud bent and almost broke off inside of my navel! Then after all that my friend tried to tell me that I would only have to shove it through the last few layers off skin so I should just go ahead and push it through. That got a big ass "hell no!" It was so swollen that I probably could not have even seen the hole to push the stud through if I tried. So that was the end of my navel obsession for a while.
Last year I let my boyfriend, Ponky Rawx, try to pierce my navel again. He got it a little bit shallow but it was pretty good considering the situation, which I will not mention in here because I do not want to make an even bigger ass out of myself. That navel piercing did not last either though. I have a German shepherd that tends to jump on me a lot because he seems to not be able to control himself when he gets excited, so he ended up pulling it when he would jump on me. Then, one day I had taken a shower and I went to my room. A few minutes later Ponky said "is this your captive bead ring from your navel?" It had fallen out. Apparently, before I took my shower the only thing holding the jewelry in was a scab. When I took my shower the hot water loosened the scab and then the jewelry fell out. So I no longer have a navel piercing. However, I do have a scar from it that resembles a pussy.
The same day that my friends had tried to pierce my navel with that piercing gun we also did my nostril. Surprise it actually went through my nostril. I still have that nostril piercing. It is amazing how well it healed.
Well I hope that nobody is as stupid as I was.
